Packers coach Mike McCarthy addresses string of Aaron Rodgers interceptions

Here's a quick summary of Rodgers' interceptions:

July 30 — Gunter makes a leaping interception on a fade intended for Jared Abbrederis
July 31 — Burnett hauls in a pass tipped by cornerback Casey Hayward
Aug. 3 — Randall picks off Rodgers in the back of the end zone, though Rodgers thought the rookie was out of bounds
Aug. 4 — Sheilds makes a beautiful play on a deep pass down the left sideline intended for Davante Adams
Aug. 6 — Gunter intercepts a deep pass from Rodgers intended for Janis
Still, McCarthy said he was unfazed by the series of miscues.

"I'm just trying to go through the interceptions," McCarthy said Thursday. "I would think at least three or four of them were competitive balls. I mean, he’s going to do things in training camp that he might not obviously do on a Sunday — give guys chances to make plays and so forth.

"So I guess to answer your question, I’m not concerned about it."

My goodness...nerd is going on about him possibly losing it due to a broken down body, but at least he still knows the O.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

It's hard to be the media when you are covering the packers without the brett favre drama going on anymore.

I think this is more of a compliment towards the defense than anything else.

hahahahahahaha In practice, if the receiver is covered, you - the QB - throws it anyway - see what the D Back can do, see what the receiver can do to adjust. OF COURSE, Aaron Rodgers is gonna use the same good judgment in games, even preseason games that he always has shown.

If I created you, I'd use you as a foil for political arguments - now that Dakota has faded into history or whatever.

Its batting practice for crying out loud, practice, swing the bat. It was so hard to get some kids to realize that.

It's training camp, it's a non-issue.
Rodgers has never been and never will be a "turn over machine".
Kudos to the guys getting some picks. If nothing else it's a confidence builder for them.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (26-Aug) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Packers signed someone for three year deal

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know

wpr (26-Aug) : YES!!!!!!

Mucky Tundra (26-Aug) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha
