The OTA's and mini camps are done and now we wait for the start of training camp. It looks as if the coaching staff has determined that they have some pretty good linebacks and are happy with the defensive line. They seem to think that their receivers are going to be pretty good. Althought the running back situation isn't yet settled they appear to be happy with their depth. The offensive line is still a mess. The rookies seem to be shinning in the OTA's. That either speaks highly of their quality or it speaks volumes for those guys who got drafted in the past who can't play. Once again the defensive backfield, which we all thought was going to be a strength, may indeed be pulling apart by the seams. We still don't have a kicker and out punting situation needs to be resolved too.
I think two things need to happen when training camp opens up. Mike McCarthy is going to have to come out as a strong willed coach in regards to stopping the nonsense that has been going on in GB for way too long. He needs to send a message to his players that there will be consequences for bad play and lack of commitment to the team. The last thing that he needs to do is set the bar a lot higher as to his expectations for this team. Conference championships, making the playoffs and reclaiming Lambeau as a place that teams fear coming to should be a top priority and everything else that happens in camp should be based on achieving those goals.
