Packers quotes


Defensive tackle Ryan Pickett on how much to temper the Packers giving up only three points in the last two games because the opponents were Detroit and Cleveland: I dont think you temper it at all. These same teams play other defenses and score, so its not like theyre getting shut out all year. I just think our defense is clicking. We did a good job first of all of stopping the run, thats getting us in favorable matchups. Once you stop the run and get them in third and long, youll do that to pretty much any team in the NFL.

Former linebacker Spencer Havner on whether his two-reception, one-touchdown peformance Sunday makes him feel like a full-fledged tight end: When we practice Im running routes, catching balls, Im all over the place. But I just felt like I the emphasis I was put on (was) special teams. Today it was both.

Defensive coordinator Dom Capers on whey he felt comfortable using the Big Okie defense, where linebacker Brandon Chillar replaces safety Atari Bigby, against Cleveland and daring the Browns to throw: We played it last week, it was good to us last week and it was good to us today. Now they did get the ball in there to the tight end (once), but thats going to happen. Youre asking yourself how much pressure youre going to get (on the quarterback) and how youre playing against the run. That defense has been good for us.

Capers on defending the Minnesota Vikings next week: Theyre a challenge because they can throw and run the ball. To me when you have that kind of mix thats always the hardest thing to defend. Going in the last game we put a high priority on stopping (halfback Adrian) Peterson, and we stopped Peterson. The problem was we gave up too many big plays in the passing game. Theres two or three plays, you take those out its a different ballgame.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers on the Packers focus last week and not looking ahead to playing Minnesota this week: I think it was good. I think Mike (McCarthy) kept us focused on the Cleveland Browns. Its tough to win in this league, I dont care who youre playing, especially on the road. This was a weird game. The guys on the field, it was a little chippy at times. Very quiet in the third quarter, to where on third down Im able to hear myself and everybody on the field is able to hear me as well. A different feel to it, but Im glad we came out and played the way we felt were capable of playing on offense. It was our best performance technically. We were productive, like I said no sacks, and we ran the ball well. Were going to have to carry that over next week. we realize what kind of challenge were going to have facing us."

Packers right guard Josh Sitton: "It's always nice to set the tempo early, get out there and establish the run. It gives the play caller the ability to have a more options."

Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin: "At first glance, that's the best we've played so far."

Browns quotes

Browns QB Derek Anderson: "We aren't good right now. That's it. Period. Flat out. We haven't executed. We haven't done the right things to win ball games. We haven't run the ball effectively, thrown it where we needed to. We haven't protected up front like we need to and caught it when we need to. You can't win like that."

Browns WR receiver Brian Robiskie on Anderson's frustration: "That comes with losing, incomplete and dropped balls. I think that it's one of those things where we're not doing what we're capable of. Week in and week out, we do things that we want to translate to the game, and we just haven't been able to do it."

Eric Mangini, on the loss: "It's a really disappointing performance across the board. I don't think we played very well. I don't think we coached very well."

Defensive back Brandon McDonald, on the flu hitting the team: "I can't sit up here and say that is the reason we got beat. There is no excuse for the way we played."

Defensive back Eric Wright, on his mindset after surviving a car accident this past week: "I'm definitely happy to be here, happy to be living out the dream, and get another chance. But we just lost another game and it's tough to swallow."

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
