Rodgers Continues to Steam Roll Opponents and his own Team.

[gbgary]

did anyone run any wrong routes yesterday?

[channtheman]

This.



And probably this, but it also describes the precise problem. Most of the world isn't going to get to hear the audio.

As long as Finley and Rodgers have dealt with this "issue" and are okay with each other, it won't matter who heard the audio.

[bobblehead]

Rodgers might be right but I'm with those who think this sort of thing should not be discussed in front of the media.

Do we know that Rodgers hasn't discussed this with Finley 2 weeks ago and it didn't help?

Speaking out: Rodgers continues to speak openly about a couple of mistakes tight end Jermichael Finley made during this three-touchdown performance against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

Rodgers remarked after the game that Finley had made a couple of mental errors and when asked about it Wednesday did not back off his comments.

"I think I hold everybody to the same standard," Rodgers said Wednesday. "I hold myself to a high standard. I think the mental mistakes are the ones that I believe can be cured through preparation.

"And as gifted and talented as that boy is - and he's an incredibly talented man, the big fella - I think he needs to tighten it up a little bit with some of the mental mistakes."

Rodgers didn't detail what the mistakes were, and they definitely weren't apparent to those not privy to the Packers' plays. Whatever the case, there weren't that many, and they didn't hurt Finley's production.

"A mental mistake by him can easily turn into a touchdown, which it did during the game," Rodgers said. "So you have to kind of understand, you're dealing with an extremely gifted player. So we're talking about one or two plays.

"But I think he can be great, and I wouldn't be saying that if I didn't believe he could be one of the greatest tight ends to ever line it up."

Rodgers shouldn't be saying it to the press regardless. Finley is the Packers number one priority to resign and Rodgers is tossing him under the bus. I don't think Rodgers likes to share the spot light with anyone else.

I just got done reading an article about Rodgers. It was written before the start of the season. In the article it talked about how Rodgers knew he needed to work on his leadership skills being an 18-year-old freshman QB at Butte College. He had get the respect of guys that had been in jail, rejects from Div. I, kids fresh out of high school (like himself), guys that were 25-years-old, all sorts of different backgrounds at a JC. So, he took upon himself to take coaching classes while at Butte. A couple of things he learned was: 1) he had to lead all the players on the team. That means interacting with them, putting in the work (being the hardest worker), etc., and 2) that he had to learn how to push the right buttons for each individual player. Each player needed their buttons pushed in different ways. The article (again, written before the season) specifically stated that Rodgers knows that tough love works with Jermichael while James Jones is on the opposite end of the spectrum. He needs constant reassurance. I'm convinced more than ever, that this is all calculated by Rodgers--and he really does know how to push the buttons of his guys. You can criticize him for it, but I'm more on the side that he's become adept at doing this.

Talk with Packers coach puts Finley at ease

Finley said he felt better about things after speaking with McCarthy.

"He just told me to keep running my routes hard, that the ball was going to come my way," Finley said. "It's going to come."

...

"Some games, teams are going to try to take away Jermichael and other guys are going to get involved," Rodgers said. "Some days, it's going to be like Chicago where he's going to get more opportunities and he'll make (the best of) those opportunities."

Rodgers said that he's always open to one of his receivers talking to him about his role in the offense.

And that's where it all went bad between you and Drew right?

Let me respond to that deragotory comment about Ms. Barrymore:

It has got to be very difficult to make her look sexy.

Those coaching classes are a great spin for Rodgers. If you played college sports you took coaching classes. Hell I took three of them. Baseball, football, and ethics. Maybe he was the one guy who was actually taking those classes seriously. Well hats off to him.

Regardless, I believe it's calculated, and I believe he knows how to push the buttons of his guys. He shows Finley tough love. He shows Driver reverence. He gives Jones constant reassurance. He mostly messes around and talks trash with Jennings. He doesn't have to do much with Nelson.

You are a very BAD MAN!!!

Wow, I never thought someone could make Drew Barrymore hot. Unfortunately, at some point she will open her mouth and then you have to listen to her annoying ass voice.

[Deputy Nutz]

What does an "ass voice" sound like? Bad breath?

Did your pucker clinch up a little trying to admit Rodgers might actually know what he's doing?

Where is Javon's contract situation lately?

[rbaloha1]

Rodgers numbers are insane (completion % and interception rate). Plus he refuses to engage in BF banter.

Javon is out of the league, and funny you should mention that, the Packers never gave him his contract and he then blew out his knee and was never the same player. In fact they traded him for a 2nd round pick. Grant it they took Colledge with the pick, but he started 45 games for them. So Favre's advice wasn't too bad, and he never refered to Javon as "boy".

Guess what Favre took heat for commenting on Javon Walker's contract. Way more heat than what Rodgers is taking. Did I think Favre should have said anything about Walker? No I didn't, but I also mentioned earlier in the thread that regardless if Favre commented about players or showed frustration on the field that it should be taking care of in the lockerroom. You can stop bringing up Walker and Favre because I didn't support that 10 years ag just like I don't agree with Rodger saying shit about his teammates from a negative perspective to the media.
