For the Packer Denialists

[hoosier]

I just got a spammy, obscene PM from "antoniofreeman." I bet I can tell you where its IP is located.

He did drive everyone's post counts. Been an active few weeks.

I don't seem to remember him being this way always.

Clefty is trying to understand this point. Are you saying that the Packers have valued more narrow, specific, individual skills (such as Sam Sheilds being able to run step to step with fast receivers, Woodson being able to attack the LOS) at the expense of being able to do multiple things reasonably well, so that the defense is more flexible? And that the answer is to expand the repertoire of each player in individuals drills during OTAs, to then be put together during training camp? If playing zone is a main problem, how is that being taught in individual work during OTAs?

From the start of McCarthy's coaching stint, it has been remarked that he was on the low end of time spent in individual work. Especially so compared to Sherman and even so compared to Holmgren. He spent a lot of time in 7 on 7 and full team drills. He liked the volume of reps he got that way. I think that allowed him (and his DC) to install all concepts prior to training camp. That is, teach the scheme and the calls to the players as a unit.

This year, due to the offseason schedule changes in the CBA, M3 changed the offseason approach as he was unhappy where they were when they got to camp. Reporters have said the most recognizable thing was an emphasis on individual drills and less team segments.

In the past, it was clear that certain concepts did not work well with the Packer personnel. The most obvious is zone D. The problems ranged from individual skill set to communication. So despite the successful install, the players could not execute all calls well on the field as a team.

My hope is that if possible, individual drills might improve the player's techniques prior to training camp. Then time can be spent refining how to integrate all those new ind. skills into a cohesive Defensive whole.

Haha! You gotta love his spirit. Don't bother looking it up, I already checked and it is him.

Hey Mad;

What's with the 'black' video screen 'of late'? I noticed that on some other posts.

I got one too. I figured it was from you.

He didn't bother me with a PM yet, thankfully. Somebody's got some serious growing up to do.

I know, WTF happened to that guy?

I got banned once. I didn't think I was ever gonna be allowed back. I was really upset about it, but that's what I needed. I needed to realize the people I posted with did matter so I could want to fix it. I could have gone anywhere else, but I liked it here. I just needed a wake up call to realize it.

His message to me was simply: "F U Asshole!" then a smiley face. Wasn't sure how to take it.

Was it very large font? I thought it was his way of showing he cared.

Yes. Yes, it was. I'm relieved and disappointed that I wasn't the only one.

[3irty1]

In mine he told me to "lick my mother's cut[sic] and eat my feces" That was sandwiched with more profane and less endearing phrases though. Big font of course. I think it was because of the tombstone I photoshopped which I actually made a week and a half ago when it was clear he was going to get banned.
