Mike McCarthy's halfime speech: "The defense will be better in the 2nd half. You can put that in big letters."

I don't disagree with anything you are saying. I think he's a good coach, but not a great coach. I would like a bit more of a hard-ass. But the Packers offense will be OK. My biggest problem with him is keeping the likes of Dom Capers around. That's borderline inexcusable, imo.

McCarthy: You may not flat-out bench somebody, but I think sometimes you … you don’t really play with 11. There’s plenty of instances where you may only play a guy in base instead of sub or vice-versa. Position has a lot to do with it. Your backup has a lot to do with it. That’s a good question. I’ve never thought about it. To me, I trust the evaluation of the coaches. We sit here and they say, ‘Hey, this is who I think should play this week.’ There have been guys benched on special teams a number of times.[/b][/u]

---He's NEVER thought about it?

Every single quote out of MM is a lie going forward because some feel the need to defend MM by saying he's lying here. I have no such need. Why do you...and I don't?

If you think MM is a liar about this statement, then why do you take him at his word on the other? Hypocrisy.

BTW, I'm not sure you understand the term "sexual relations".

You don't want to throw your own player or coach under the bus. You can't reveal that you already traded Kevin Love to the Cavs before you're allowed to trade him. You don't want to add bulletin board material for the opponent. You don't have as accurate information as the press would like (e.g. injury reports prior to MRIs).

We all know this. I know you know this. [wallme]

Most recently Jeremy Ross last year. They cut Rouse after two games that one year.

I know what coach speak is... however, there was no reason to be engaging in coach speak to that specific question.

MM doesn't have anything to do with the releasing of players, though...that is TT's arena.

Well to quote Mike McCarthy in his own words... (when not directed towards the media).



Lets be honest players and coaches lie to the media... but at times the media catches them saying things they don't mean to be public... and I think McCarthy has benched people... like 1st round CB, last 1st round pick of Sherman as GM (don't want to remember his name)... RB Wynn after too many fumbles one game and I'm sure there are others as well.

Wouldn't mind them holding the DC accountable too, while we're at it.

Like nerd said, he's had people cut the week of a poor performance, so you really think he hasn't thought about benching a player before? What happened with harris in the kick returns v. Seattle?

He was probably just trying to avoid a trap of being asked about Brad Jones being benched, something no coach would want to talk about a current player in public.

I'm not even trying to stick up for m.m. I'm just saying this particular example is a bad one to use if you're trying to find a "gotcha" moment.
