Sorry pb, because I know this has nothing to do with the point of your post, but the 1st and 2nd down timeouts taken by the Saints struck me. Wasn't there tremendous criticism of McCarthy for having done the same thing on defense at the end of the first half a couple weeks ago?Originally Posted by pbmax
Not Jennings. He was a starter from day one. Maybe Jones. I know Ruvell Martin was one of his favorites on the scout team.
Yep.
And it nearly cost New Orleans 3 points here.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
It's like ever couple of weeks, all season long, every season.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Not sure I agree with this. I think it will take a minimum of 4 games to get Hundley playing at full speed. I can't blame MM that Rodgers was taking 100% of the snaps during the season and Hundley only takes scout team snaps. The only game action Hundley has had is preseason in 2 of the 3 prior years against vanilla defenses playing mainly with our backups. The CBA even limits practice reps before the season and during the season. We'll have a better feel for Hundley around the Ravens or Steelers game.
Also, I think Jones didn't play because his pass protection was not supposed to be as good as Williams. Montgomery is the more dynamic receiver and with Rodgers at QB, the more dynamic receiver would be preferred. I think our needs have changed since Rodgers' injury. Now we need the more explosive runner to take pressure off Hundley.
Monty was over 5 yards a carry last year. There is a reason you never would have known about Jones if Monty doesn't take a shot in the ribs.
Jones is a more natural back, especially running between the tackles. But the idea that Monty is now worthless is an over-reaction.
Job #1 is keeping Rodgers upright. Jones needed work.

McCarthy on practicing this week: With CBA it's not possible to practice this week to help Hundley out. Can start next Tuesday.
THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT, DON'T RECALL BYE WEEK RULES IN CBA, THOUGH IN SEASON IS LIMITED FOR PADS

"Stating the obvious" that there's more on the bye week to-do list for the coaches, McCarthy says.

McCarthy; Yesterday was a starting point. Showed how important to do the little things. At half didn't think we played that well.

"He will do better," MM says of Hundley. having only 50 plays was a factor.

McCarthy on Hundley: Have to look at opportunities. He will do better. His issues were more in time clock, timing. We'll be better next time
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 54s55 seconds ago
McCarthy: Hundley wasn't given a lot of opportunities. Maybe if defense gets off field a few more times he has more opportunities.

McCarthy said nobody should be surprised that he took the blame for yesterday's loss. He says that's what coaches do for their players.
Michael Cohen @Michael_Cohen13 29s30 seconds ago
McCarthy said he told the team before the Minnesota game that they weren't practicing the right way. Things improved last week, still lost.

Michael CohenVerified account @Michael_Cohen13 17m17 minutes ago
Capers said the loss of Jake Ryan in the third quarter left them with just one linebacker — Blake Martinez — plus safety Josh Jones.

#Packers DC Dom Capers said the inability to get off the field on third and long was evident early in the game. Bit them later, too.
Michael CohenVerified account @Michael_Cohen13 11m11 minutes ago
Capers said the defense had far more missed tackles against Minnesota than New Orleans. But against NO there were leverage issues instead.

HOFer
more pad levels?
leverage does not equal pad level, but they both belong to the broad category of murky coach-speak excuse-making code language that most often means 'we cocked it up but we don't really want to explain it to you morons'
"Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - Woodbuck
Leverage is actually a concept very important in both run and pass defense. Like anything else, it can be used to obscure or hide things.
Pad level was used so often it was funny AND it seems very dependent on the height of the player. Its no coincidence that the best pad level in a decade belongs to 5' 9" Aaron Jones.

Regards time, place and amounts of padded practices, AKA live fire.
Don't know for sure, but seems to fit.
On the broadcast of the late game last night, one of the announcers said that most teams don't practice (in pads?) on Fridays, but New England does. I think he said that works out to many, many hours of practice more for New England over the whole season. It's why they are so well prepared.
You know I was thinking that maybe the owners and players shot themselves in the foot by negotiating all these practice rules in the CBA. It's probably affecting the quality of product that's put on the field Sundays and might also have something to do with all the injuries. Ultimately, both wind up diminishing interest in the games and NFL attendance/profits suffer.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

So this is the Maxie-pads argument?

Just have him lay off the Everclear.
