Jennings taking shots at AR?

[Maxie the Taxi]

I'm like MM...I don't understand the quote.

Basically, Driver was calling Greg out for not owning his mistakes and being a pussy about it.

Gotta love Chuck sticking his neck and coming to ARod's defense.

Pure class. Be a man

For me, my time in Green Bay was nothing less than exceptional. The good that I experienced there far outweighed the bad. So I’m thankful for every minute I spent in Green Bay and I really feel like the friends that I’ve made there in Wisconsin, I feel like I’d be disrespecting them if I did say something bad about the organization or my time there. These are friends I feel like I’ll have the rest of my life. Yeah, I got fired. I might be a little bitter about being fired. Who wouldn’t be? But that’s it.

Yeah Woody!

[ThunderDan]

Not surprising from Woodson. He is a pro's pro.

[Upnorth]

That was a great statement by Mr Woodson and I hope some reporter asks Jennings to comment on it. How do we give CW rep?

Woodson was then asked what the motivation might be for Jennings and Driver to speak out, and if he thought the public criticisms of Rodgers dating back to last season – when tight end Jermichael Finley’s agent, Blake Baratz, questioned Rodgers’ leadership via Twitter and NFL on CBS commentator Shannon Sharpe did as well – might have some truth to them.

“It might be a receiver thing,” he said, chuckling.

Woodson may have been joking, but maybe only half joking. I think it is a receiver thing. For the last few years, the Packers have had 3-4 starting-caliber wide receivers as well as an above average tight end. Probably all those guys think they should have gotten the ball more than they did. They kept their thoughts under wraps while they were here, although Jennings' sister may have revealed some family discussions. Once they're not a Packer though, they feel free to mention this stuff. If Finley leaves the Packers next year, we'll probably hear some more.

Wow, that's really something for him to stand up for Arod and the organization now. There's really no reason for him to go out of his way to do that, no one would've blamed him if he'd said 'no comment on that, I want to talk about the team I'm on, the Raiders, and how we're going to...' and given his sound bite that way.

[Patler]

Decided to re-read Driver's comments, since some seem to interpret them different ways. This one bothers me:

“We’ve always said that the quarterback is the one that needs to take the pressure off everyone else. If a guy runs the wrong route, it’s easy for the quarterback to say, ‘Hey, I told him to run that route’ than for the guy to be like, ‘Well, I ran the wrong route,’” Driver said. “Sometimes you ask Aaron to take the pressure off the guys so we won’t look bad, but he didn’t want to do that. He felt like if you did something bad, you do it. But I think that’s the difference. You want that leadership, and I think sometimes you may not feel like you got it. You have to earn that respect at the end of the day, and I think that’s what Greg was probably referring to.”

If I was a coach, and my QB was doing what the wimpy-ass Donald Driver and Greg Jennings wanted, I would be madder than heck. If a play went wrong, I would want to know why it went wrong. If it went wrong because of the receiver, but the QB misleads me as to why it went wrong, how can we fix it? How can we know if the player made a simple mistake, or if maybe there was something different in what he read? If AR says he was behind the failure, I ask HIM what HE saw, what HE did and why HE did it; when I should be asking those questions of DD or GJ. How can I fix it, or know whether I should call it again in a similar situation if I don't even understand why it failed?

I'd suggest that this comment (and some of the others) are referring to AR's relationship with the press. I think they want AR to publicly shoulder their responsibility when something goes wrong, so they don't look like screw ups in front of the media.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Now I'm even more confused than MM. Who said what when? What does it all mean?

Could be. I think it's childish to expect it, and ridiculous for holding a grudge if he doesn't cover their asses.

These professional athletes have had their asses covered since high school. Many have never, nor will they ever learn personal accountability. What a bunch of millionairre pussies!

Wait until Jennings and his attack dog (his sister) start seeing more poorly thrown 3 yard slants from Ponder. Jennings will have less than 800 yards this year.
