More Banjo: Week 15 @ Bears

[RashanGary]

That seems to be true about Jordy Nelson, although I'm not sure the DBs he beat were all that good.

Jordy never beat revis or Sherman like a drum. He always beat up on mismatches. Same way clay never beats up on joe Thomas and nobody ever beats up on bahktiari. The best corners and OL stop the best players.

McCarthy: We're on a six-day week. It'll be very similar to the Houston week. We'll bring in players later tomorrow and then we'll get going

McCarthy: We're on a 6-day week. Schedule very similar to the Houston week. Today is a Tuesday on our clock. Tomorrow will be a Wednesday.

McCarthy on Rodgers: Just taking six-day approach. We’ll find out where our guys are today. Early indication better today than going in.

McCarthy on 3rd down: Suggestion was to run it down and go to overtime. Said he and Alex Van Pelt felt good about a play they had.

MM on Hyde's deflection: Instinctive player. Recognized the route concept. "I think that speaks volumes about our defense."

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 6m6 minutes ago
McCarthy on Hyde play: We had a sub miscommunication. Two came out and one came in. Letroy heads up ran down sideline and wasn’t offsides.

Packer Report @PackerReport 6m6 minutes ago
Soft surface good for passing game because, in part, it's bad for pass rushers.

McCarthy on 4th Q defense: We gave them some soft conversion throws. They got some momentum moving the sticks. Something we have to look at.

MM on controlling destiny: That's what you want. Focus still on getting to 10 wins - nine the next target vs. MIN on Saturday.

McCarthy on Randall: There’s things he’ll learn from. Reasons you have alignment and assignments on certain plays.

Packer Report @PackerReport 4m4 minutes ago
Randall needs to be more detailed, MM says, when asked about performance yesterday.

BLOWN ASSIGNMENT ALERT

McCarthy hints at assignment/alignment mistakes by Damarious Randall. Those things exist for a reason, he said, and details are important.

I SWEAR I MADE MY COMMENTARY BEFORE I READ COHEN'S TWEET

McCarthy on Montgomery: When he hits second level you see his natural run instincts. You really got a picture of his natural running ability

Packer Report @PackerReport 4m4 minutes ago
MM on Montgomery's tackle-breaking skill: His build and his patience. "A lot stronger than people realize."

Green Bay Packers @packers 3m3 minutes ago
McCarthy on @TyMontgomery2: He's a lot stronger than people realize. I know he wears No. 88, but he's not a normal 88 running the football.

McCarthy said the #Packers forced 19 missed tackles against Chicago. "Nineteen is a big day"

Lang was not on the field for the throw to Jordy at the end of the game. It was Spriggs.

Neither was Lane Taylor, it was Barclay.
According to MM, both Lang and Taylor came out and Spriggs and Barclay ran in for the 3rd down play.

[Fritz]

So both get some kind of mini-Barney Fuckdoggle for not botching the big play - no holding calls, no acting like a matador.

And hooray for Barclay for coming in with that freezing weather and making one snap well when Linsley went out for a play with a shoe problem.

Sounds like, based on MM's comments above, Damarious Randall doesn't seem to quite understand yet what it means to be a professional. I also did not like his response when asked if he was playing hurt - something along the lines of "you'd have to ask the coaches." Rubbed me the wrong way, though he might've just been trying to be careful about discussing injury status. Still, in this case I prefer the ever-bland "we're all playing hurt this time of year."
