Thoughts? Should the Packers coaches be more in-your-face about mistakes in practice? I assume that the overall answer will be yes, but I find it hard to believe that there is never any feedback in practice. Something about this report is a little fishy to me.
I know that McCarthy isn't a big yeller and neither is Capers, but the author (above) seems to be strongly hinting that there is not enough accountability in practice for mistakes. I'm a little indifferent in general, believing that there is not one correct strategy for coaching. However, when something isn't working (such as our defense) then its a little easier for me to look at issues like this and wonder if there is some truth to it.On Monday, the Packers whipped through four periods totaling about 20 plays in the defensive portion of 11-on-11. The offense was running plays from cards either drawn from the repertoire of Oakland, the opponent Friday night, or Seattle, the opponent Sept. 4. In the second period, the scout-team unit hit the No. 1 defense with a pair of big plays that just shouldn't happen. On the first, Sheppard managed to get behind Sam Shields on a takeoff route and Matt Flynn hit him about 30 yards down field. On the second play, White got deep behind Casey Hayward and Scott Tolzien delivered a 35-yard strike that would have been a 99-yard touchdown if the ball had been on the 1. It's interesting. This defensive staff led by coordinatorDom Capers doesn't say much after a play, either good or bad. Really, there isn't time. MikeMcCarthy's practices are all about tempo. The "corrections," as McCarthy often describes it, are made later in the tape room where it's plain as day to see.
