I’ve probably taken better care of myself,” said Favre. “I have to admit that I kind of eat what I want. I just don’t eat a lot of it. I don’t kill myself in the weight room, or cardio, but I do enough. Once training camp gets closer, I’ll increase it (workouts) more.” Favre said that he threw the ball better with each of the seven OTA practices that he has participated in the past few weeks. “I didn’t come away from one practice thinking I’ve got a ways to go,” Favre said. “I came away with the thought after each practice of, ‘That was good, physically and mentally.’ I got out of it what I wanted to get out of it.

To that end, he’s again working this offseason with Phoenix-based personal trainer Ken Kroener on a core- and quarterback-oriented conditioning program. He’s also talked with coach Mike McCarthy about calling more movement plays for the Green Bay Packers this season. <strong>“We didn’t do enough of it, in my opinion, movement stuff, move me around,” </strong> Favre said Thursday after the Packers’ organized team activities practice. “I think that’s what I do best. Mike -- we’ve talked about it numerous occasions, he’s going to go to it, so I have to be ready for that. I get tired a lot quicker now than I used to. So, after a play, I have to be able to regroup and move on to the next play.”</p><p></p><p>McCarthy said some unidentified concerns prevented him from putting Favre on the move more last year. McCarthy might have wanted to keep things as simple as possible for his three rookie offensive linemen who played regularly in 2006, and he also might have worried about Favre’s mobility because of the sore left ankle he played on most of last season. However, McCarthy appears inclined to use more of the movement-type plays this year even though the 37-year-old Favre is well past his prime as a runner. “I think he’s still a very effective player when he is on the move,” McCarthy said Thursday. “And frankly, the people that know him fairly well, the people who have competed against him from a defensive standpoint, a number of them play with a wider (defensive) end, rush the ends up the field, try to take that away from him.”</p><p></p><p><strong>Favre didn’t practice Wednesday or Thursday this week because of soreness in his throwing shoulder, which he said probably is tendinitis.
