Sharpe:

"If MM wants to light a fire under a guy's ass, there is no need to do it publicly. MM's job is not to make you feel all warm and fuzzy."

I'm confused by this statement.

If MM lights a fire under some guy's ass, wouldn't that make him feel all warm? Maybe not fuzzy, because his butt hairs would be singed off (and an ugly smell that is, burning hair), but warm, for sure.

I think Sharpe meant pubicly - just on the upper ass.

Hmm, I can understand you confusion, but I think a proper reading distinguishes the "guy's ass" from "you". If it was intended to read other wise, I think it would read "If MM wants to light a fire under your ass...." So, there is no fire under your ass, just some random guy and that's fine if he feels warm.

Now, of course there is the possibility that "you" could still use the fire under the "guy's" ass to warm yourself; however, since I am advocating not to do it publicly, I assumed that you probably would not have access to the fire.

Does it make more sense now?

I cannot STAND the whole "we like who we have here" mentality, it breads complacency and mediocrity, and that's what the Packers are right now mediocre. It's time to light a fire under some players asses on this team and no ones job with the exception of a few should be safe. The idea in the NFL is to WIN, not make excuses and stick with a bad plan come hell or high water.

For once I agree with you on this Merlin. Its the root behind me bumping heads with waldo regarding Chillar.

When MM and TT came to town it was hard nosed Pitt style football. We are going with who performs on the field regardless of draft or contract.

Here we are several years later and they are standing behind "their" guys and running a whopping 15 times in 2 of 4 games this year...one of which we were having great success running. (because of the OL no less, grant is still missing cuts and reads big time)

Right here, right now I can't believe that Babre should still be starting. I see him completly whiff or get run straight into Rodgers every other play. Barnett is stinking up the joint yet Bishop (who I'm no big fan of) can't even get on the field. I'll give the brass a pass at safety since they are desperately trying to get anyone in there who can be in position....Lord I hope Bigby comes back soon. (to those who don't like Bigby, it reminds me of the Bush poster I saw recently...."Miss me yet?")

Clear as day now; as long as he would be laying on his back.

[woodbuck27]

Why wait until Sunday? All that does is give another team time to throw together and offer. Get it done for goodness sakes.

Randy Moss.

[woodbuck27]

Great news. Now let's just hope TT will sign him if he's good to go.

He damn well better, he's cut us short

too many times for too many years !!

I like your groowwwllll.

The GM has to supply the HC with the right talent.

I suspect the Packers will sign him, unless his knee isn't ready to go just yet. The disturbing thing to me is McCarthy sticking to the "Barbre" is the starter and Tauscher will be given a chance to compete for the job line. BS, he should say that Barbre and Tasucher will slug it out for the starting job. It isn't like Barbre has done anything of note in his NFL career. At some point someone needs to tell McCarthy and Thompson that standing behind players that aren't performing (and have never performed) instead of putting them on notice they are about to get the boot if they don't perform, isn't the way to win football games.

But what else should MM say publically? We have no idea what MM says to his players at practice or in meetings or the lockerroom. Most coaches except a Mora keep that stuff "in house."

I've had enough of your logic and common sense Pugger. We've no room for it here.

[Bretsky]

TTT- We're going to offer you the vet minimum; will your client sign here ?
Agent- The Vet Minimum ? Do you know how many years Tauscher gave to the Packers ?
TTT- Yes

lengthy pause...........

Agent...Are you serious ? What about incentives ? Tauscher might start many games for you ?
TT Does he have any other offers ?

Agent- Let's talk about incentives
TTT - We'll think abou it and get back to you. Let us know if you have any offers on the table from other squads and we'll ponder from there as well
