RANDOM MUSINGS FROM TRANING CAMP...WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD...THE GOOD AND THE BAD

[Cheesehead Craig]

Some of these training camp reports on LeFleur and Rodgers read more like a psychologist's notes than a football analysis. If we're going to keep going down that road, then I say we bring in some Freudian perspectives, dammit.

We could all tell each other about your mother.

We could all tell each other about your mother.

It just so happens I made a song about "Your Mother" who was among other things, a big fan of football.

RANDOM MUSINGS

Yesterday after an Adams Fumble MattyFloor sent the whole offense to the sidelines

Today after Josh Jones laid a hard tackle on somebody when he was not supposed to he got sent away

[Bretsky]

Anybody still ponder how we were quick to hire a guy who nobody else wanted to interview ? And he led the Titans offense to the craphole last year. Was listening to National Talk Radio and they felt he was a terrible hire. Time will tell

He sent a message that being careless with the ball won't be tolerated and breaking team rules won't be tolerated. A new coach needs to establish himself. I wholeheartedly agree with both decisions.

Who the fuck cares what some anonymous person on something called National Talk Radio thinks about Lafleur? Well, I guess you do.

How well Tennessee's offense performed under OC La Fleur was directly related to the personnel he had to work with and to who they played from week to week

In GB, HC LaFleur is still limited by the same factors, however IMO he has better personal to work with. As for TC not being as it was under McCarthy, well Duh ! With a new HC installing a new offensive system it is not like the train is resting on all of those tracks laid over the previous seasons. LaFleur's new "train" has to lay all new track and can't rest upon the former system as a cushion. So if uses a dramatic move like removing the entire offense from the field to drive home his point, then I support it.

Also, from what I read/hear HC LaFleur and Rodgers are hitting it off and the mutual respect is fast becoming a new team asset. Additionally, I've heard some chatter regarding Rodgers throwing the "long ball". Past injuries or just rust may be a current problem, but forcing the issue may be worse than slowly working/treating any physical problems. It could be as simple as installing a different stretching and massage program for Rodgers. He may also be limited to throws per practice as a safety measure. It should not affect his play on running play drills where throwing the ball is not required.

I'm not reading/hearing much concerning GB's receiving core. Who is shining and who is struggling among the WRs and TEs and RBs? How are the backup QBs performing?

well one might argue a guy running a sports radio show knows as heck of a lot more about sports than the average homer in a message board

True enough, but it's still only one opinion. He may be more informed, but I've heard talking heads spew out their praise/negativity on Thursday and/or Friday, only to ask for more catsup to choke down their "Crow" on Monday. These guys belch from the same hole that they cram pie into.

A lot depends on the commentator, who was it?

I think La Fleur has a lot to prove. But the basics are there. He has seen success, worked with some talented people.The systems he has been in have worked before. He has steadily risen the ladder and been given more responsibility. But he's never been a head coach and his record of converting offenses is mixed. Falcons (QB coach right) were fantastic. Good first year with Rams (non play calling OC). Very mixed results with injured Titans Offense.

I like the hard stance on fighting. Personally, I think its fighting in pads is dumb, but you don't win football game by cloning me. You might need some hotheads. Sometimes its a knife fight, though I suspect in the long term you are better off avoiding those. But M3 was OK with fights. Sherman? Holmgren? Don't remember.

One would be wrong in that assessment.

One also might argue that a guy running a sports radio show makes statements to draw intended debate/feedback, whether they actually believe the statements to be true or not.

Remember McCarthy's stint at SF as OC before we hired him?

I was just thinking the same thing. He wasn't all that hot of a head coach prospect at the time either, as I recall.
