Green Bay - The following is a summary of coach Mike McCarthy's pre-practice comments Wednesday morning: - (On setting schedule) This will be the closest to an in-week schedule. Still have some camp things we're working through. Special teams ball drills is something we've done at the end of Thursdays. Do those in the beginning in camp. It's pretty close. The classroom part is in-season schedule. It's the only time we'll have a full four days to prepare for a game. We have a short week next week and a short one after that. - (On players moving out of dorms) As far as transition, not a big thing. Players with homes are probably more comfortable. The other are in hotels, that's probably close to being in the dorm. - (On inside or outside practice) We have the - (On Bakhtiari's knee) He's on a program that he's out all week. He'll be a stretch to play in Pittsburgh. Clay has an elbow issue that will keep him out of practice. -

Does this seem odd to anyone? Dude just made some statements that are being deemed controversial. Now he has another mystery injury.

I mean, they could've just said his knee was sore again. 🤨

Considering Demovsky's recent article, this is certainly an inconveniently timed injury.

Perhaps, Clay is angling for a trade out of Green Bay? This would be one way to do it... incense the fans and your management by making that comment and then continue being unavailable. Or, this is his form of pouting to get back to playing OLB where he wants to play.

The ILB thing probably bothers him far more than he's let on.

---I await the reply that says...OR...he's really hurt. :)

I would think the ILB thing is certainly a thorn in his side. You could certainly pick up on that in Demovsky's article.

As far as a trade, I'd think his cap numbers would make that difficult...and as for REALLY being hurt, um. I'm skeptical.

Had this happened pre-Seattle comments, I would be slightly annoyed (since he just had the knee) and chalk it up to being cautious with vets, such as with Sitton. After his #1/a TE exhaled on my knee stuff, well I'm a little more disgruntled when reading this.

In spite of everyone's panties being twisted in knots about what a terrible existence and cursed human being he is, CM practiced today.

For the first time ever, something that was written by a reporter and on the internet was not 100% accurate. Wow. Makes you wonder about some of the other garbage articles people buy into...

It's training camp... If an entrenched veteran wants to miss a practice because of a papercut, I don't care.

I've been one of the hardest on Clay over the years about being overpaid. However, when he is on that field he is flying around 100% of the time.

Right, except when he's not on the field like in the NFC Championship game, though, when the Packers needed him to help seal a Super Bowl trip.

He goes all out all the time but only part time. Doesn't sound too hard to me.

Who said he was a terrible human being? No football player should make the comment he did much less one paid the amount of money he is. I appreciate his honesty, though. We now know when he leaves the field that he probably could play but "thinks" he'd be hurting the team. Ever wonder if the reason he takes himself off the field is because he knows he's less likely to make some huge play to get himself noticed but very well could make plays, nonetheless?

Someone said it earlier...Clay may be our version of the Bulls Derrick Rose.

I'd rather the Packers be cautious with Mathews now so that he's hopefully healthy for the long haul. Same goes for Peppers, Rodgers, Sitton, Jordy, or any of our big time players who at this point in their career have a good understanding of what they need to do to be ready.

I also don't think the conspiracy theory about Mathews trying to force his way out or make a statement about his partial use at inside linebacker holds any water. His comments to me have been typical of any top level athlete who's been resistant to initial change, but besides that have been very positive and accepting towards the idea. He was/is one of the best pass rushers in the game and to go to ILB can be seen a demotion or at the vest least scary to someone who's secured so much success elsewhere. If I recall Aaron Kampman was just as hesitant/resentful of the switch to OLB from DE for many of the same reasons.

He can still be a great player if he's willing to do whatever the defense asks of him, but at OLB he's very overrated. His role last season was perfect for him. He was making plays all over the field and was getting a ton of attention for it. I really don't see why he would have a problem with that. He was making more plays than before the switch.
