Packers | Mike McCarthy defends team's toughness

Wed, 27 Feb 2013 07:53:26 -0800

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy does not agree with critics who feel his team has grown soft over the last couple of seasons. "To me, we're a physical, tough football team," McCarthy said. "I totally disagree. I don't know how you can put the tape on and say the Green Bay Packers aren't physical." McCarthy added the team plays the same way it did during their Super Bowl campaign. "How do we play any different from the approach, the identity today that we did in 2010?" McCarthy said. "How do you swing that far? You don't go from here to here." The Packers are a passing team that struggles to run against base defenses. On defense, they have ranked 26th each of the past two seasons in average yards allowed per rush.

Packers | Greg Jennings undergoing surgery

Thu, 25 Oct 2012 11:27:39 -0700

Green Bay Packers WR Greg Jennings (groin) will undergo surgery on his torn groin Tuesday, Oct. 30. He did not give a timetable on his return, but head coach Mike McCarthy has said the injury is not season-ending.

Fantasy Tip: Jennings has a very friendly fantasy schedule the rest of the way, but just how much he will get to play is uncertain. The Packers have little need to rush him back with the way their offense has clicked of late. Head coach Mike McCarthy said Jennings will be able to return this year, and without having more information, count on him missing at least three to four more weeks. Stash Jennings in all leagues and consider trading for him if you can land him for pennies on the dollar.

Packers | Will go with hot hand at RB

Thu, 11 Oct 2012 06:17:10 -0700

Green Bay Packers RB Alex Green will get the first carry in the team's Week 6 game. After that, however, head coach Mike McCarthy said he will go with the "hot hand" between Green, RB James Starks and RB Brandon Saine. All three running backs received first-team reps in practice Wednesday, Oct. 10. "Alex and James both got reps today and so did Brandon Saine," McCarthy said. "The first carry will be Alex Green. He's a little farther ahead than James is right now and that's the way we'll go. But we have three halfbacks and we'll utilize all three of them."

Fantasy Tip: Owners must take a wait-and-see approach when it comes to the Packers' backfield at this point as it appears to be a fluid situation. Green may be the man moving forward, but keep a close eye on how the carries are distributed in Week 6 to get a better idea.

Packers | Mike McCarthy reaches out to replacement ref

Thu, 04 Oct 2012 08:04:28 -0700

NFL replacement official Wayne Elliott, at the heart of the most controversial moment of the lockout, said Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy has reached out to him. Elliott awarded Seattle Seahawks WR Golden Tate a game-winning touchdown Sept. 24 on a Hail Mary pass that appeared to have been intercepted by Packers FS M.D. Jennings. "He called me at my house last week because he had heard I was having a rough week with all the calls and everything," Elliott said. "Wanted (me) to know that he thought what I did - controversial and maybe he didn't agree with it - (but he thought) I handled it with class." Elliott said he would probably change his ruling now. "I'd probably call interception. I learned a rule by screwing up the rule," Elliott said.

Fri, 24 Aug 2012 13:54:44 -0700

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy was happy with how his defense performed in their win over the Cincinnati Bengals Thursday, Aug. 23. "I thought our defense as a whole graded out exceptionally well," McCarthy said. "I thought the pressure and the finish and the pursuit to the football, that's exactly what it's supposed to look like. Our defensive line and our linebackers did a very good job of bringing the pressure and, more importantly, the finish and the extra effort of always seeing two or three or four hats on the ball."

"I've never dealt with numbers like this before, just the number of players missing practice."

Packers | Playoff loss still stings

Sat, 16 Jun 2012 08:19:18 -0700

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said he is still not over the loss the team suffered to the New York Giants last postseason. McCarthy thinks the Packers lost more because of how they played than because of how the Giants played. "It'll always bother me," McCarthy said. "I don't want this to come out the wrong way, because that win is special, that's a great win for their football team. The margin of victory they won with, too, is definitely to their credit. But I feel like we beat ourselves in this playoff game. Or better yet, we didn't give ourselves a chance to win the game."

"A fresh team is the best team because you can accomplish the things you need to accomplish leading up to that game if you go about it the right way."

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said he will play to win the game in Week 17; however, he also added that he wants his team to get healthy entering the playoffs. "We're going to play to win the game next week," McCarthy said. "I'm not real comfortable with a division opponent coming in here and not thinking we're going to play to get win No. 15." QB Aaron Rodgers added he thinks the team should worry more about getting healthy with the No. 1 seed in the NFC locked up. "I think we need to get healthy," Rodgers said. "That's the main thing. Now that we have the top seed sewed up, the priorities may shift a bit."
