Does this sound like Mike McCarthy is talking smack?


check it 


Q: How much does it hurt the Packers that when you play the Vikings, Brett Favre will know the ins and outs of your offense and will be able to communicate that to Minnesota's defensive coaches and players?

A: "I don't look at it that way. I think if Brett Favre's spending time with the defensive staff talking about our offense, he's not spending time like he should be getting ready for our defense. It's been however long since he's been here, and things change. You have to change, especially in division games. We do things a little differently now than we did two years ago. We do things a lot different than we did my first year. So it's all part of evolving. Now all the base concepts are similar, and he could probably call most things out. Division games are so different. You used to guard against it, but to me, it's built in now because you play each other twice a year, and there's so much more information out there that you have to change your calls. We do that as part of our installations now where as in the past you used to do that the week of the game."

Q: Conversely, how much does it help you that you probably know Favre's strengths and weaknesses better than anyone in the league?

A: "I think so. I would like to think that the coach would have the advantage over the player because of all the things you've watched him do day in and day out. I think that would go for any relationship. In the same breath, he's playing in a new offense. He's playing with new players. There's different skill sets and how he fits to those skill sets. It's different from what I've watched him go through here every day. It's good TV, but at the end of the day, when you cross the line he has to play the game, and we have to play the game."

it sounds to me like he's trying to be diplomatic and respectful without coming off looking like a pussy.

And which reporter is asking him about the Vikings game now?!?! It's Bears week! That's what pisses me off about the media. There is so little reporting on the actual news that is happening presently, now all they do is make up their own stories. they're supposed to be reporting not inventing their own news.

Everything he said seems valid. I'm not sure about the offense being THAT much different from two years ago, but it's still a bit different and I'm not sure that Favre's going to provide too much useful information.

Sounds like a reasonable response to me. Most important, he avoided any controversial statements which could cause a distraction to Sunday's game.

I give NFL Coaches credit. Not only do they have to plan complex game strategies every week but they also have to play diplomat to the press. If they are lucky, they end up in a Coors light commercial.
