McCarthy: Sam (Shields) is improving. Break was good for him. Won't practice today. All inactives except Sam & Cook will do something today.

Bob is not at the press conference, he is traveling to meet Bobby April at a Stuckey's to try to convince him to commit to the Packers.

This is un-good.

Guess I'm out of the loop.

What's the explanation for the dig at McGinn and Bobby April?

McGinn had an article stating that hiring Zook was a mistake when Bobby April and a couple others were available:

Do you think McGinn ever walks through the locker room? I bet Zooker would be ordering the code red if he did.

McGinn has critiqued several of McCarthy's hires, hinting they are hired out of friendship and loyalty and not qualifications. In some cases, Slocum, he seemed right on target. On others, dumping Bob Sanders, McGinn failed to stick up for reputation and experience (Capers over Sanders) and accused McCarthy of embarrassing the franchise by blaming lieutenants.

But special teams have been a hobby horse of his for long before that. The only hire I remembered him cheering was John Bonamego, who had a sterling reputation some years back and was hired by Sherman. JB was a success by every measure McGinn likes to cite, Rich Gosselin's yearly rankings, reputation among sources and League wide rankings of punting and kicking units by yardage/average.

However, Bonamego's units struggled, providing a two year glimpse into the talent versus coaching debate.

This is a case of Bob hitting on an important (hiring of assistants) point but being unable to discern what leads to success.

#Packers WR and ST ace Jeff Janis practiced cast-free following bye. He broke his right hand during camp and wore a club cast thereafter.

We're gonna get killed by the Gmen's pass offense next week.

Are you implying my gameday thread streak will end at one? Never!

aside: My god Fitz is stealing that money from the Jets!

The Gints don't have much, if any, run game, but their one-dimension can be special. I hope they have Burnett back to help in the secondary. They really need to make Eli move in the pocket and hit him early and often. Their secondary is pretty banged up, so that will be a plus for the Packer offense.

Burnett practiced today. Shields did not.

Can our WRs take advantage of this banged up secondary? We never do it seems...

At least Randall won't be covering OBJ.

Michael Cohen @Michael_Cohen13 11h11 hours ago
Damarious Randall dropped out of practice and returned with his thumb taped. He left again, came back with no tape and sat out, no helmet.

[Cheesehead Craig]

If the Giants team that showed up last night in MN shows up in GB on Sun night, we should kick the snot out of them. Giants were disorganized on both sides of the ball.

So is Pennel and the other CB back?
