Jermaine Whitehead's career with the Packers . . . is done.

Whitehead . . . was released two days after he was ejected for slapping New England Patriots center David Andrews in the head during the second quarter of Green Bay's 31-17 loss.

It wasn't the sole reason for his release, but it may have sealed his fate. The Packers decided to use cornerback Tramon Williams, not Whitehead, at safety to replace the traded Ha Ha Clinton-Dix against the Patriots. Fellow safety Josh Jones also saw his role increase significantly after the trade.

"The Whitehead penalty was clearly a classic reaction to the first guy," McCarthy said Monday. "And they catch the second guy. Whatever your feeling is, the severity of the penalty is a whole other topic. But . . . you can't have that. You can't react to those types of things. Yeah, we need to be better there."

I mean run some basically man beating routes to get MVS or St. Brown on a 5 yard catch and run crossing pattern if nothing else!

Once again some of you need to realize Mark Murphy is the only person who can fire Mike McCarthy.
Guttekunst controls player personal only!

Maybe he will trade/,release enough players to piss Mike off and Mike will leave.

I doubt Mike McCarthy is even aware that the players have been cut or traded....he’s to busy staring down at his play sheet.😂

If you're going to fire Whitehead simple for reacting in self defense of himself and not being a star then management should be fired for the same bullshit such as Mike McCarthy be fired for not be willing to make adjustments and Gute fired for picking Cobb over Nelson.

Unless there is more than what we currently know (which I assume there is)

Can't remember his name.

I do remember Lacey being benched for that.

RB Alonzo Harris... I believe that it was rumored they had multiple problems where they thought it was escalating and having a bad influence on Lacy.

Also I still think the RB coach that year (a former NFL FB) had a thing for oversized RB with power even if they couldn't do other things which might of given Harris an edge as someone else outplayed him in training camp IMO. Though neither would end up doing much.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
