PB, do you own Packerrats twitter? I mean, are you the exclusive poster?
we have a twitter?
McCarthy is from Pittsburgh, and therefore refers to both Twatters and Twitters and the Tweeter.

He's just the best kibbitzer in the business.

Biggest Offseason Winners (includes Pack):
Quote:
Green Bay Packers
The Packers entered free agency with the potential of losing two essential cogs in their offense. Instead, not only did they retain Randall Cobb and Bryan Bulaga, they kept them both at a discount. In today's market, to get not one but two prime-time players to agree to take less money is unheard of. It. Just. Does. Not. Happen. Except, apparently, in Green Bay, where Aaron Rodgers plays his pipe and all step to his tune. The Packers watched two corners be overpaid on the open market and won't blink. They were built to handle those types of losses. Entering the draft, Green Bay will have a "glaring weaknesses" list so small you can fit it on a grain of rice. And let's not forget the rest of the NFC North helping to grow the grins in Green Bay: Detroit lost its best defensive player who tried to injure Rodgers last season; the Bears kept Jay Cutler as their quarterback; and the Vikings might trade the best running back in football. Oh, I'd say it was a darned good offseason for the Packers. Ted Thompson, sir, you lead one charmed life you son of a ... -- Kevin Patra

Blandino: If a receiver doesn’t establish himself as a runner, he has to hold onto the ball through the ground.
Prediction: This won't help.
That was already the case, though.
i think so many people are so confused by the rule that the nfl can just say they fixed the rule, and most people wouldn't know any difference
Belichick speaks highly of McCarthy, now is time to read WAY too much into it.

“Well, I mean, first of all, I’d say Mike’s one of the best coaches in the league, one of the best coaches I’ve ever gone up against,” Belichick replied. “I’m sure whatever he’s doing is the right thing. I have a lot of respect for him. I’m sure whatever decisions he’s making for the Green Bay Packers are good ones and ones that he thinks are right. I personally wouldn’t question anything he does.”
...
“I’m just telling you, that’s what I think,” Belichick continued. “And I’d say since I’ve been with the Patriots, even going back to Cleveland, there’s been times where I’ve met daily with the offense, times where I’ve met daily with the defense, times that I meet with the quarterbacks, times that I meet with the special teams. It’s not the same every year, it’s not the same every week, so I do what I feel like is best for our football team.
“And I’m sure that’s what Mike’s doing – whatever that is. I don’t even know. Whatever it is. That’s the way I look at it.”
Cheat is basically saying: "Leave me the *uck alone, stop asking me questions about another team's decisions, and yeah a guy who wins most of his games and makes the playoffs all the time probably know what he's doing."
Indicative of the way the Packers do business, a GBPG article called five of the class "redshirts," and suggested this year MM wants to see some of them break out. And not in a rash.
I found illuminating this quote on Kyri Thornton, contrasting him to Abbrederis:
'"I think Thornton has really turned the corner in the weight and conditioning part of it," he said. "And Jared is here every day. So, he just has to get stronger, a little bigger. Everybody felt great about the way he showed in spring and the training camp he was having. So, yeah, definitely. It won't be lack of work ethic, that's for sure."'
Turned the corner? In other words, he got his head out of his ass.
Nobody's talked much about Mike Pennel, but I wonder if he has an opportunity to start in GB, and if his potential will influence a decision about whether to bring back Guion or Raji or both.
so, guion got busted for a pound of weed, a gun, and $200k in cash, and gets off with a $5,000 fine and no charges

must be nice
wish i had a weekly private consumption amount
I mean, if you have a large entourage, it's conceivable you and your people could smoke it and you'd never sell any. Still, that's a lot of hash...
Seriously doubt even wist could consume that if he played golf all week.
But never mind that. Let's bring him back. I hope he is just in Stage 1 of the Drug Program. Might miss a suspension.

Again, I misunderstood what the Nelson injury was. It was his hip. Will clarify more in the blog in a little bit. #Packers
ORIGINAL POST:
Jordy Nelson had surgery.

McCarthy says WR Jordy Nelson's knee surgery was a cleanup and took place after Pro Bowl. Said its 6-8 weeks and things went well. #Packers
Possible reason his production tailed off or was he simply drawing the lion share of coverage?
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 1h1 hour ago
Nelson's knee issue was not related to the surgery in 2013.

#Packers coach Mike McCarthy on what's next for @ClayMatthews52 after ILB: "I think you move him to safety next."
Should have said QB just to see how many tongues he could start wagging.

Also, Murphy said plans are in place to renovate old luxury boxes and convert them to open air capability. Said #Packers fans requested it.

Reminds me of back in the 1990's someone actually floated the idea of the Packers putting a dome on Lambeau. Packer fans were up in arms against it. Someone wrote "You can give Packer fans 30 years of listless, pathetic football, but if you try to keep them warm and dry, that's going too far!"
i've wondered why the roofs that they use in england haven't cought on in the US. makes it louder and a lot better then watching a game in a dome
something that keeps the rain and snow off the fans yet still lets all the light in
like so

They are going to try to make the windows open AND add heating so the die-hards don't get too chilly.
Packers are expected to reveal new throwback uniforms soon.
Perhaps early 1950's version?
