Concussion? Yeah right!!! Trying to save face.
Well, Boris does have more money than Bill Gates.
Hit Peterson! HARD! And often!
#Packers getting healthier: Starks, B. Jones, Bush back. J.Jones, Finley, Matthews, Perry, R. Taylor not practicing. No Worthy or Rich. yet
WhoooooHooooooo
Isn't it wonderful when the cupboard isn't bare?
TY TT.
Glad to see B Jones and Hayward getting out there. Jones was having a great year before he went out.
Was there ever any solid info on Perry's injury?
Broken bone in his foot is all I ever heard. Is it a 6-8 week deal or what?
"couple of weeks"???????
Last we heard from MM, "couple weeks" on Perry. If it's more then that, then we translate MM speak to "multiple weeks". That's the term I'm guessing we'll hear on Finley today. I also highly doubt he'll use the term "spinal contusion" or any definitive diagnosis. "It's a neck"..."more testing to be done" etc
MM: Perry, Jones and Taylor are where they are in their rehab. They go through stages. Everyone was done on field today #Packers
MM: Brad Jones - OK. He didn't take a whole lot of reps. Just want to ease him back into it
MM: James Starks looked good. He looks to be back. We didn't do a whole lot of team today. Did a lot of jog through and teaching.
MM: Jermichael Finley is still speaking opinions from specialists. Hospital said he's doing well, making progress. Still in hospital
MM: I have not sat down and had meeting (about 88's football future) with Ted yet. Pat McKenzie is doing due diligence, best interest of 88
No need for the team to push its luck on Jones the way Lattimore is playing.
MM: Adrian Peterson is an outstanding player. I felt the 1st game, he kind of got away from us. I think we over pursued in 2nd game
GB has a much improved DL this season with Jolly, D. Jones (who's done some good things last 2 games) as well as AJ Hawk playing out of his mind. I'd like to see a healthy Brad Jones but to be honest I didn't see a huge drop off from Lattimore. That kid was getting some excellent up field pursuit and had some tackles for loss IIRC.
Couple that with AP having a ? hamstring issue, I think we'll see a different run defense that what we had in 2012.
Here is Silverstein's notes from today:
McCarthy
- (Finley) Seeking opinions by specialists. Doing better every day. Making progress. Still in the hospital.
- (This season) Ted and I met yesterday. We'll wait until all the info comes in. We won't be premature. Do what's in his best interest.
- (Jones, Perry, Taylor) Did some work today.
- (Starks) Looked good. We didn't do a lot of team today. Lot of jog-through, teaching periods.
- (Brad Jones) He was out there, Looked OK. Trying to ease him back.
- (Metrodome) Incredible homefield advantage for them.
- (Lattimore) He's taken advantage of his opportunities. But we want all players back. One player doesn't affect the status of another. Good to have competition.
- (Hayward) Looked good. Was very close last week. He'll be ready with a full week of work.
- (Bakhtiari vs. Jared Allen) Jared's having another good year. Challenge how loud it is in Metrodome. Tough place to play for tackles.
- (Motto this week) Silence is golden (laughs)
- (House) I think he's playing very well. Played well this week. Did some really good things on special teams. Anytime have a player play high level special teams is a good indicator. Playing welll in bump and run and zone. Talented young man.
- (Peterson) Outstanding player. Felt first game got away from us. Up there I think we over-pursued. He really hurt is. When you're not right, he can accelerate in the crease. Big, powerful back. Excellent acceleration. We have to be in our gaps. We have to play square.
- (Jennings) It made the topic list. It's not really a big deal. Greg was a fun player to coach. He's moved on. Wish him the best.
- (Quarless, TEs) You just don't replace Jermichael. Andrew and Bostick will both have to step up and play the role.
- (Freeman, Ponder) Stay true to the film. Way they play with Ponder a little different than they played with Josh. We have a pretty good understanding what they're trying to do.
- (Playing Monday night team) When home and home not a big deal. But it is a Sunday night game. These schedules come out and you have plenty of time to prepare.
- (Outside) Plan is to stay outside, but go inside last 30 minutes. Plan is to be on turf, but I like to keep the team on grass as much as possible.

Agree.
Starks can also take his sweet mother nature time coming back. Save him for temporary duty when Lacy inevitably gets dinged. Then by time Starks is re-re-re-re-re-re-re-reinjured, Lacy will be healed and back in.

Yep. I expect him to rest up again this week
I don't think anyone is coming back this week unless they're 100%. And even then I think they get sat. Hell, sit everyone. The vikes will find a way to lose a forfeit.
MM: Perry, Jones and Taylor are where they are in their rehab.
I could've sworn they were somewhere else.
What the hell does that even mean?!?!?
It is what it is.
Or the "it". The "it" is the crux of the "is".
Lattimore has looked very good since being inserted into the lineup. Brad Jones might have been playing the best football of his career before he got hurt. These are good problems to have.
It's kind of similar to the Hayward deal. House has been solid but it's hard to replace Hayward's production. The guy just seems to be a turnover generating machine when he's playing.

What the hell does that even mean?!?!?
I think it means they are not further ahead or further behind in their rehab process. Don't look for them back sooner than was originally expected.
What the hell does that even mean?!?!?
Awaiting transplants.
Either that or they're stationed next to Ted Williams.
#Packers were not in pads today. They had been going in pads on Thursdays. McCarthy trying to keep them as fresh as possible perhaps.
Usual suspects. No changes RT @RobDemovsky: Not practicing: Clay Matthews, Nick Perry, Ryan Taylor, Jermichael Finley, James Jones #Packers
Interesting to see #Packers LB Nick Perry walking around in sneakers less than 2 weeks after breaking foot. Didn't seem to limp either.
Did anyone ever confirm he actually broke it? Maybe he never did??
I broke my foot TWO MONTHS ago and I am still in a boot! Egad how I wish I was younger. When I was younger I had a stress fracture and was still able to run some but it hurt like crazy.
Probably just a small fracture. Doesn't mean much though, who knows when he'll be back.
I had a basketball player play with a fracture of a small bone in his foot. Doctor told him that he could play on it, wouldn't hurt it worse, just had to manage the pain.

I knew it! The bastard's fakin' it!

No... here are a few snippets from a couple weeks back.
@WDUZ: Per our Chris Havel, through a source, LB Nick Perry is out with a broken foot, but will return this year.
From a JSO story citing the WDUZ report...
Radio station WDUZ in Green Bay reported Perry suffered a fracture, but coach Mike McCarthy would not confirm that.
@lanceallan : Can confirm what Chris Havel first reported. @packers Nick Perry broke his foot. Still waiting to hear how long he will be out
"I don't know what Nick's status is, where he's going to be, that type of thing," Capers said.
From Perry himself, the day after the "broken" foot.
No one went on record.
quote:When I was younger I had a stress fracture and was still able to run some but it hurt like crazy.
Had something similar to this as well a couple of years ago. I run just about every day and it hurt like hell for about a month. I could walk around pretty well without issue but running was a real pain
