Ron Zook...all were doing here is rehashing the same garbage. Apparently Mike McCarthy just doesn't think special teams are that important. We could have done better.

Ron Zook came in last year. It is not as if Zook had his hand on everything and had his scheme being used. Mike McCarthy also said there would be a big culture change in that Special Teams group. This isn't Mike Stock stepping down for Shawn Slocum who was essentially groomed for a handful of years as his under study. This is someone who has had a plethora of coaching being handed the ST unit.

I am excited that McCarthy is giving up his play calling duties. Not because I think he is a poor play caller, but because this will give Tom Clements great motivation to do well and also let coach McCarthy be coach.

If you're wondering, Clements was the OC with the Bills in '04 and '05 and his unit finished 7th and 24th respectively.

Went to see Zook's stats for his special team in 1996 - 1997 - 1998 to be honest, not much that impressed me. What impress's me is actually his experience that he can bring to the special teams. Being with so many teams and having so many different titles with different organization he could bring something to the table. I won't give my final judgment until next season's over.

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

This shit with Bennett and Van Pelt is weird. Tom Clements is in the way. Mike is keeping him here, because he has no other opportunities, and that is going to force Van Pelt to leave, now that Edgar got his promotion.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : @DavidBearmanPFN · 18h Vegas has watched Will Levis for 3 weeks and installed them as a 1-point favorite in Miami next week. Let that sink

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Martha, they did play much better with Dalton yesterday

Zero2Cool (6h) : Test results on Sam Darnold’s knee showed a knee bruise and no structural damage. He is not expected to miss any time.

Martha Careful (9h) : Not with Dalton apparently

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Not sure what to make of the NFC South so far this season (outside of the Panthers being a dumpster fire)

Mucky Tundra (22-Sep) : of course I say that and then they overturn that play that put them on the 49ers 2 yard line

Mucky Tundra (22-Sep) : *without

Mucky Tundra (22-Sep) : Even with Nacua and Kupp out, Rams looking fiesty on offense

Zero2Cool (22-Sep) : James Jones. Y’all must not know, Dr. Mackenzie🤣 he was not going to let Jordan love play today.

Zero2Cool (22-Sep) : Malik to start. Love inactive. Per report. Let's go!!

buckeyepackfan (22-Sep) : I think J-10VE will be inactive, a little twist that could be put in is run a wildcat with Wicks at qb. Have him as emergency qb if needed.

Zero2Cool (21-Sep) : I think that's how it works.

Zero2Cool (21-Sep) : I'd go 3 QB regardless this game.

Zero2Cool (21-Sep) : Clifford was elevated, not activated. He doesn't play, it doesn't count.

hardrocker950 (21-Sep) : If Clifford is active, not likely to see Jordan play this weekend

Mucky Tundra (21-Sep) : QB Sean Clifford and CB Robert Rochell elevated from the PS for the Titans game

Zero2Cool (20-Sep) : Love questionable. Morgan is out. Valentine is doubtful

Martha Careful (20-Sep) : Rodgers and Lazard off to a very strong start

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : Josh Jacobs. Limited.

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : Can't find anything on Jacobs :(

wpr (19-Sep) : Do you know if they gave Jacobs an extra day off? I hope so.

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : WR Jayden Reed (calf) and G Elgton Jenkins (illness/glute) returned after sitting out Wednesday.

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : Packers are in pads and so is Jordan Love. Second straight day of practice for QB1.

bboystyle (18-Sep) : If Love comes back, we win in a blow out

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Jordan Love just spoke with reporters and said he’s giving himself the week but hopeful to play Sunday against the Titans.

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Practicing is Jordan Love!

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Packers are signing WR Cornelius Johnson to the Practice Squad per sources. Johnson was a 7th round pick this year.

Zero2Cool (17-Sep) : Packers placed RB MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve.

Zero2Cool (16-Sep) : Rams won’t have Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua when they host the Packers in Week 5.

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : Or is that the Rusty Red Rifle because of his age?

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : The Red Rifle Returns!

Zero2Cool (16-Sep) : Panthers are benching former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young and starting veteran Andy Dalton beginning this week.

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : bears still have slim chance here

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : and there's another one!

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : oh crap macbob has the Texans K and he keeps hitting these long FGs

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Hope the Texans beat the brakes off the Bears

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : LaFleur: “I asked Malik why he didn’t throw it on that third down and he told me Josh threw up on the ball.”

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : i was wondering why it was just you, me, beast and macbob by the end

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Yeah it was weird today for some reason

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Oh my, marvin harrison jr might be as good as he was billed out to be

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : and none of the chats on my phone are showing up on the desktop chat

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : weird, i was on my phone for chat during the game but now on my desktop I look at chat and there's tons of chats i didn't see on my phone

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Oh yeah, for sure. That's just not fair thoguh.

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Zero, what I meant was that surely a tech and IT genius such as yourself would find a way to change the pick

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Well, I mean, I know I did, but might not have waited for it to register and went into Chat. Oh well
