Donald Driver post game speach - " No more talking, just play ball"
Was in the halftime show of the MNF game.. Showed a bunch of sound bites from the week, ended with that.
@Packerpedia
Donald Driver in locker room after game: "No more talking. 10 more games. Just play ball."

Right, but he thought he was good before, ya know, when he actually was. Doesn't explain his situation.
for me what explains JF's situation is the knee injury. he had one and he doesn't want to have another and he's playing to avoid injury. that's why he doesn't run full speed routes - he doesn't want to put himself in a position where he's vulnerable to a big hit. I'm going with that until proven otherwise.

He did attend O$U.
Jerdumdum needs a change of scenery. Can we trade him to Cleveland for Joe Thomas? I will even drive him to Cleveland so that he can Twitter all he wants.
I'm inclined to believe it's mental, not physical, and he's pressing. The best thing for all involved is for Jermichael to get a clean start elsewhere.

I remember that now that you mention it. Also, I believe MM once said he's got quote "the softest hands I've ever seen." Oh well. As big of a letdown as he's likely going to end up, there's a reason Top 10 talent falls to the 3rd round.
I don't think it has anything to do with his physical ability to catch or run, it's all mental. He has the yips and I think it all goes back to his injury. He's got Tod Stinkston syndrome where he's afraid to get hit.

quote:Giving his opinion on tight end Jermichael Finley’s comments last week about the chemistry still not being there between him and his quarterback, Hines Ward said it’s Finley’s responsibility to get that chemistry right, not Rodgers’.
“It’s probably not the smartest thing to do: to call out your elite quarterback about getting you the ball. It’s Finley’s job to get on the same page as Aaron Rodgers, not the other way around,” Ward said during NBC’s Sunday Night Football broadcast. “Especially if you want to get the ball thrown your way.”
Finley, who played in Sunday night’s 42-24 victory over the Houston Texans despite suffering a slight A/C joint separation in his right shoulder the week before at Indianapolis, played limited snaps and caught just two passes for 12 yards. He was targeted four times in the game.
“You have got to go to these guys and get on their page even if it takes me getting you a bottle of wine or staying after practice. Do whatever you have to do to get on their page and to get some more attempts,” Ward said of Finley. “You definitely don’t want to call the guy out, and put it out there for the media and for the public to see it. You can do it behind closed doors. Come together and get on the same page and get the thing done right.”
I just shared some PFF love for Hayward in the Shields thread, but I thought their take on Finley was worth a read too. They say his yips are inching him closer to Troy Williamson territory, which is a dangerous place for any pass catcher to find himself.
If memory serves Hines didn't exactly see things eye-to-eye with Mr. Rapistburger.

In another article they add this..
"Packers offense: TE, Jermichael Finley did not start the game; Tom Crabtree did. He played 22 more snaps than Finley but still ran five less pass routes"

From the PFF article:
quote:Troy Williamson always had the athletic talent, and nobody is naturally as bad at catching as he ended up being, but you could see it in his eyes when the ball was thrown in his direction by the end that he just had no confidence anymore that he could catch it. Finley is moving dangerously close to that same point, where he no longer trusts his own abilities
I think they hit the nail on the head there. Finley is a headcase. When he drops a pass, he loses all confidence in himself. It's unfortunate.
Thought this was an interesting tweet from DJ Williams tonight:
@dj45williams: Tightend Thursday night football watch party! @TCrabtree83 , Quarless , Taylor. http://t.co/QduIjLnH
No Finley though.....

I'm willing to bet the vast majority of Finley's teammates view him as an arrogant prick.
I'm willing to bet the majority of the Packers think he's throwing away a load of talent by deflecting blame and want to help him see he's the only person holding him back.
You nimrods.. Chemisrtry only matters between QB and pass catcher.. Mouth is busy trying to get #12 to go to the drive-in with him.

Wants to be thought of (and paid) as a wide receiver.
I'd bet he didn't watch TNF with the WRs or the QB either...
Finley is having a Thursday night watch party with Freeman and Walker.

and Favre.
Finley's a family man you haters. He can't be out partying with the boys all the time. 
is that coffee?
if it is that smiley face has one cauterized throat head!
Busting at the seams talented. Hate to trade him to anybody. San Diego probably has some decent practice squad guys.
Kudos to 88 for not dropping either of the two passes thrown his way today.
Year of the Takeover...i can feel it.

I'll give him this - he's a helluva decoy!

Finley: "If you’re winning and you’re not getting the ball, you can’t say too much about that. He’s playing like he’s on X-Box right now."
"So he can throw it to anybody he wants. I’ll sit back and wait for it to shift your way. That’s what I’m doing.”

"I can't stop talking to the media about myself, even when I have nothing to say,"
or
"I want the ball more, but we're winning so I can't complain about it, even though I obviously want to."
Or both.

Sit back and wait it to shift your way? He might be waiting a long time
Watch him catch 3 TDs this weekend.
Rodgers does have a great sense of humor.

Wouldn't surprise me (and fixed that second part for you).
