If I weren't such a fan of Aaron Rodgers, I would almost hope that you people clamoring for Tauscher would get a taste of your own medicine. People, he won't even be cleared to play until October! How can you possibly imagine he'd truly be better than Barbre out of the gate? Yes, Clifton had a few surgeries last year, but at least he went through camp and the preseason. Tauscher has done absolutely nothing with the team. There's no way the Packers will just be able to slip him in there like a jigsaw puzzle piece and expect him to excel.

Bear in mind, no other team has offered him a contract either. Ask yourself why.

But the recovery time for that kind of injury is eight to 10 months and that would put his return sometime into the regular season. At some point well before that, the Packers would have to move forward and prepare to replace him as their starting right tackle.

"It's a medical condition. What (was) it, Week 12, Week 13?" McCarthy said of the injury, which occurred against the Houston Texans on Dec. 7. "It's a late injury. You do the math, and you're looking Oct. 1 (at his return). That's what the math tells you.

"Mark would probably tell you differently because he feels great. He's attacked his rehab and he's in there every day. We'll see what happens. Leadership-wise, you can't say enough great things about him. It's a medical condition that's going to make for a tough decision."

On instructing them on fundamentals the entire offseason and then failing in the game:

"It's frustrating. There's no question it's frustrating. The evaluation has to start with yourself too. What did Jerry (Fontenot) and I do this week that was different? Was there anything different? Did we ask them to do too much or not enough? So you look within yourself too because we're obviously an extension of that group too because it's our product out on the field. We'll make the necessary adjustments that we need to make to make sure the fundamentals that were broken down by the whole protection unit, we'll make sure we make those are corrected."
