Opening statement: We are very disappointed with the way we moved the ball against the Hit Squad. Our offense was unable to sustain any long drives. Therefore, our defense was very winded and was on the field too much this week! We have some things to correct in practice. Most importantly, our receivers didn’t step up for us this week. Miles Austin, Donald Driver, and all of the other receivers will have their gloves covered with “Stick-em” for Week 8’s matchup.
On Matt Forte’s performance: It seems like this guy’s name comes up in every single press conference. Forte looked like he was going to have a great day out there. He scored a touchdown on his first drive of the game. Unfortunately, that’s all he did for us. He managed to led our running backs with 11 points though. This is the 4th time in 6 weeks that Forte has carried the weight of our running backs. Michael Turner and Jamaal Charles will be practicing without pads this week, in hopes of toughening them up a bit.
On acquiring Mike Williams from Seattle: With 10 catches for 123 yards the first game without Deion Branch, I was surprised he was still sitting there on the free agents. He has become Hasselbeck’s favorite target in an offense that will be playing from behind in almost every game. We couldn’t be happier with the acquisition of Williams! Matter of fact, we told him to stop at Wal-Mart on his way to our first practice to pick up “Stick-em” for the team’s wideouts.
On releasing James Starks: We were always taking a chance holding onto James. He had been on the PUP list, hoping to come back and get some playing time in the struggling Green Bay offense. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like he will be having much to do with the offense this season. We will definitely keep our eyes on him for next season.
On your constant trade propositions: What is our record? If I’m not mistaken, we are 3-3. That means 3 wins, and 3 LOSSES! We are not content with losing. We are leading the league in one category that I’m stellar about…..we can score some damn points. We are not only leading the league in points scored, but also points allowed. So yes, we are looking to get better and to trade away guys like Ben Roethlisberger that can help several teams in the league. We have Peyton Manning and have no need for Big Ben. We fired our Defensive Coordinator Axel Watson, as he has taught our defense the art of throwing gourds at opponents instead of tackling. We are actually still in search of our new defensive coordinator. Until we find one, I will take over.
On the upcoming game against The Hail Marys: Frankly, I don’t think we can hang with them! They have made some great pickups from the free agency. Starting out with several injuries hurt the Hail Marys early on. In a way, though, it helped them by giving them a much higher waiver order in the league. Coach Tara Campbell has made some great moves throughout the season. The one that I’m most impressed by is the pickup of Peyton Hillis. The Hail Marys will bring their ‘A’ game. If we don’t bring ours, then The Hail Marys will be walking away with their 3rd victory.
We have some work to do…..no more questions please!
