Green Bay Sunday night, prime time, opening weekend, Lambeau Field, the Chicago Bears - the big moment would be the perfect time to put the best foot forward and introduce Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings, Ryan Grant and the rest of the offense.

That's what Green Bay is known for under coach Mike McCarthy.

But McCarthy wants to take the opportunity, and the public spotlight, to change the team's identity. So with a meaningful gesture, he will take that first step by having the defensive starters introduced instead.

"Coach McCarthy said from day one that around the NFL we're known as an offensive team," said linebacker Desmond Bishop. "We don't really like that title. The defense wants to set the tone."

"Coach McCarthy said we (are not) an offensive football team - we are a defensive football team," said Packers receiver James Jones.

Well hopefully that means that the offensive starters will be introduced for next weeks Bengals game. (They alternate every week I think)

I have been to Lambeau four times, and every time the defensive starters were announced.

I don't know about you all, but from watching last season, I would say our defense was pretty fucking offensive... especially when we needed a stop.

Maybe McCarthy should wait until the defense proves something on the field before shooting his mouth like this. Besides, the word "defensive team" just sounds so wussyish to me. Powerful forces take the offensive -- they take the war to their enemies -- they don't sit around waiting for it to come to them.

But I'm biased toward offensive output and always will be.

Well if you have an attacking defense, as I think we now do, they can take the war to the enemy. They may not always put up points but can get the ball back for the offense to do so. This team has never really been a defense oriented team but I think they're on their way, and with the forces on our offense we should dominate.

I like this it changes the mindset of the players in a way. Hopefully the players fully take to it and produce on the field.

That's great to boost your D up like that, but it doesn't change the fact that this is an offensive power first and foremost.
