Coach Mike McCarthy will speak with reporters shortly in the Lambeau Field media auditorium. We'll post the newsy stuff as it comes, so refresh for the latest.
* First, the injuries: Mark Tauscher had a knee sprain to the same knee he had surgery on. "Pat (McKenzie, team doctor) doesn't think it's a serious, long-term injury. He'll have a slight chance to play this week. At most would be a couple-week injury." Aaron Kampman suffered a concussion. "As far as his availabilty for this week's work, it's still up in the air."
* On offensive line: Decide after looking at film today, will look at all options. "I am not committed to a starting five today." Will take full week's worth to sort it out.
* On Rodgers taking long time to throw -- people not open? Passing game was not productive, or as productive as in the past. Bucs played lot of man-under/match coverage. Had lot of one-on-one opportunities, "and for whatever reason, we did not get that accomplished. I thought time and time again, particularly in the first three quarters, we had ample time. Really, our biggest pass-protection breakdowns were in the fourth quarter."
* OK with pass intercepted on deep throw to Jennings? OK with decision based on matchup of who Jennings was going to the post against. They were in quarters coverage. Thought Rodgers gave Jennings a catchable ball. "As far as a shot play ... I was comfortable with the decision.
* Receivers have trouble getting open? "We were challenged by their secondary. So, you can take that for what it's worth. They won the game. They did a good job against our passing game. We felt that our passing game would have been a strength versus their secondary, and if we played them again tomorrow, we would go right back at their secondary. But they did a good job."
* Will this week challenge you in way to keep this team together after two straight losses? "This is definitely a challenge. There's no question about it." Always a challenging day after a loss, "even moreso when you lose two in a row, even moreso when you lose in the fashion that we did in Tampa. It's a game that we expected to win." Didn't do some necessary things in spots of the game.
* On kick-coverage breakdowns: Timing of it is biggest common thread to prior weeks. To take 11-point lead and for them to come back with big return, "it's disappointing. It's lane integrity -- it's nothing more than that." Kick-away was the call, and Mason Crosby did good job prior to that kick. But did a poor job with lane integrity.
* Give any thought about any switching in responsibilities on coaching staff to help offensive line or special teams? "I'm very confident in our structure, our job responsibility, job description of every position. ... Offensive line, the way we're built, structured on staff is by design. We have four individuals on our offensive staff that I'd be confident, very confident in coaching the offensive line. So, I feel we have a high level of expertise on that side of the ball. Special teams, I think Shawn Slocum has done a good job in ... putting on his print on what we're trying to do philosophically compared to the prior three years. But our problems, to me, are not teaching and scheme. They do not fall in that area."
* Would it help to have new voices in the room? "There's structure. To have a new message or a new messenger -- I'm confident that's not where our football team is right now. They have a very loud, direct, clear message in the team meetings, day in and day out. So, there's no question or uncertainty of what we're asking everybody to do, coaches and players, and the accountability of what needs to be done. Hey, we're disappointed that we're 4-4. We're at the halfway point of our season. I'm very disappointed. But that's our work to this point. I take full responsibility. I'm at the point of this football team, and I have all the confidence in this team that we'll get ready and move on and win a big game here at home against Dallas."
* On punt returns: Confident with Tramon Williams.
* Why things fall apart on game day after good weeks of practice? Believe in practice structure. "If there is an error that was made leading up to this game, it was probably too much work" in practice during the week. Energy level wasn't the same in the fourth quarter. Had lot of production. Impact plays against cost the game. Didn't answer the bell in 2-minute.
* Blocked punt: Mental error. Must watch film and correct players. Clearly a mental error. It's a 4-4 look and there's a blown assignment. Never going to let someone run through the A-gap.
* On rotation at LOLB: Had planned that. Playing in heat, think that's obvious. Get to point in season where start watching the reps. Kampman had taken every snap on defense. Also must look down road with three games in short period.
* Can you survive if don't get to the passer? Must stop run first, "and we have accomplished the first part." Thought pass rush first three quarters was good. Didn't do good job of getting quarterback on ground when got to him.
* Try T.J. Lang at other positions? Think he's warranted that. But a little concerned about musical chairs playing on offensive line. "It's not a positive. I think it's been a deterrent in trying to gain continuity."
That's it for now.
