Packers not happy with Starks' performance
James Starks - RB - Green Bay Packers
Nov. 20, 2012 - 9:40 AM ET

Coach Mike McCarthy expressed displeasure with James Starks' performance in the Week 11 win over the Lions.

Starks rushed 25 times for 74 yards, a meager 2.96 yards-per-carry average. "We left a lot of production on the field was my conclusion after going through the tape," McCarthy said. The coach went on to lament not using Alex Green more. The ex-starter had no touches. "Frankly, Alex Green not getting carries was a poor performance by myself managing how we were running the ball," McCarthy said. "We'll continue forward working both James and Alex." Owners should expect more of a committee approach against the Giants this week, leaving both backs as undesirable fantasy plays.
