GREEN BAY
Dexter Williams Jersey , Wis. — Randall Cobb is out of detailed answers for now.More Packers coveragePhotos of the Week: 7/21/19 – 7/27/19Packers rookie Gary's biggest critic is himselfTop Tweets: Former Badger TJ Watt has impressive four-year transformationPHOTOS: 2019 Green Bay Packers training campPackers' Rodgers, LaFleur ironing out offense, building chemistryBut the veteran receiver did have one simple solution to get the Green Bay Packers out of their first-half funk.No rallying cries. No inspirational slogans, like the "Run the Table" phrase from Rodgers that turned into catchword of the Packers' comeback from a 4-6 start in 2016."Yeah, win a game. Win a game you get going," Cobb said after practice on Wednesday when asked if there were lessons to draw from two years ago."We've just got to win one right now," the veteran said.The Packers aren't quite yet in such dire straits as in 2016. But at 3-4-1, Green Bay has little margin for error if they want to avoid a second straight season without the playoffs.Third place in the NFC North behind the division-leading Bears (5-3) and second-place Vikings (5-3-1) isn't going to cut it. A bounce-back second half can start Sunday when the Miami Dolphins visit Lambeau Field."It's always good to be at home. You have to take care of your home-field advantage," coach Mike McCarthy said. "We also know what's coming after it, too."It's a quick turnaround back on the road after the Dolphins game with a Thursday night trip to Seattle."It's great to be home and I can't remember the last time, it's been a while since we played there," McCarthy added.That would be in Week 6 on Oct. 15 over the San Francisco 49ers, a closer-than-expected, 33-30 victory that required the Packers to score 10 points over the final 1:55.Following a bye, the Packers had trouble closing out road games the next two weeks, albeit in losses to two of the league's best teams in the Rams and Patriots.Last week, running back Aaron Jones' fumble on the first play of the fourth quarter in New England territory was a turning point. The Patriots went on to sandwich two touchdown drives around a three-and-out for Green Bay."We've lost games before here. But this just feels different," Cobb said. "And it doesn't feel good. It's not fun. But we've got to figure something out."Asked how this felt different, Cobb didn't have any specifics."I wish I could. If I could then I would try to correct that 'how,'" he added. "At this point, we're not where we should be and where we want to be. We've got to figure out how to get there."At least quarterback Aaron Rodgers seems to be getting better each week from the left knee injury suffered in the season opener against Chicago.He seems to be moving around much better. Last week against New England, he didn't have to wear a sleeve or brace on the knee."Just grit," Rodgers said. He was a full participant in a practice on Wednesday that was abbreviated by McCarthy in part because of the wear following two straight long road trips.Rodgers has had a dip in his completion rate this year, at 60.6 percent through eight games, down from his career average of 64.8 percent. Rodgers said it had to do with "an unnatural amount of throwaways this year," referring to passes thrown out of bounds or out of the defense's reach if he can't find an open receiver."We've got to keep finding ways to get guys into one or two spots, open on time
http://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Jace-Sternberger-Jersey ," Rodgers said, "and when they're open, I've got to make the throws."The Packers lost 29-27 against the then-unbeaten Rams a couple of weeks ago. In that game, Ty Montgomery, who has since been traded , fumbled a late kickoff after being directed to stay in the end zone for a touchback. The turnover deprived Rodgers a chance to drive for a game-winning score.Losing hasn't been fun."I don't think anybody's happy about the position we're in. So, yeah, I just want to have fun again," Cobb said with a smile and slight chuckle.NOTES: WR Trevor Davis, who has been on injured reserve since the start of the season with a hamstring injury, has returned to practice. He could be in line to be activated for the Nov. 15 game against Seattle to help replace injured wideout Geronimo Allison (groin). ... Limited in practice on Tuesday were S Kentrell Brice and RT Bryan Bulaga, who have knee injuries, and LB Blake Martinez (ankle). The call on the field — is for consistency and simplification at different levels of football.The NFL held a "Universal Rules Alignment Meeting" at its headquarters in New York on Tuesday, with league football operations chief Troy Vincent and Atlanta Falcons CEO Rich McKay, the head of the league's competition committee, leading the discussion. Some team executives, the NFL players union, the head of officiating and some officials from the NCAA took part in the effort."It's the idea that you try to have unified safety terminology for players so they understand what the foul is and what it isn't and then teach it all the way down beginning at the little kids, getting to high school, getting to college and getting to pros," McKay said.One focus was rules that deal with players' safety, such as defenders leading with the helmet or targeting defenseless players."Hopefully we'll come together with language that's simpler and easier for the players to understand," McKay said. "I think the use of the helmet foul, to lower your head to initiate contact, I think that foul will have an impact on the way players play the game."They also looked at rules differences with cut blocks and chop blocks and kickoffs between college and the pros.The discussions will continue early next year after the end of the college and NFL seasons."I think everything can be navigated if people are willing to come and sit and talk and communicate," Vincent said. "It's not a one-size-fits-all. ... We learn from you, there's some things that you're doing
Elgton Jenkins Jersey , there's some things that we're doing. It's really collaboration. Can it work? Absolutely."THE OPTICS DEBATEJimmy Johnson, a two-time Super Bowl winner as coach of the Dallas Cowboys, criticized Jason Garrett for turning up at Game 3 of the World Series last Friday with his 3-4 team going into its open weekend.Johnson, a Fox studio analyst, said before last Sunday's games that it was a bad look for a team that had work to do, based on its record.Garrett, one of the backups to quarterback Troy Aikman for Johnson's final season in 1993 when the Cowboys won their second straight title, passed on the chance to fire back at his old boss."I have the utmost respect for coach Johnson," Garrett said Thursday. "He's been a friend and mentor to me, really through the years. That's really all I want to say on that. I just hold him in the highest regard."But Garrett did defend himself by pointing out that he encourages all his players to get away from the job for a few days."If you're a beach guy, go to the beach. If you're a mountain guy, go to the mountains," Garrett said. "Do whatever you want to do to get away from it, to get yourself refreshed, recharged and ready to go again."Owner and general manager Jerry Jones said he didn't have a problem with Garrett's World Series excursion as it related to a team that expected to contend for the playoffs having a losing record, and a winless road mark (0-4)."I'm not associated with anybody that works any harder than Jason Garrett," Jones said. "I know where Jason Garrett's mind is and I know where his work ethic is."PACKERS PARTY TIMEGive it up for left tackle David Bakhtiari, who had the best costume at the Green Bay Packers' Halloween party on Monday.Well, that's at least according to quarterback Aaron Rodgers.Bakhtiari and his girlfriend went as the characters Vincent and Mia from the movie "Pulp Fiction." Rodgers said the couple "basically danced as they danced in the movie to any song that was on. Hardcore rap at times. I gave Dave a lot of credit for that. It was phenomenal."The party came a day after the Packers' 29-27 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Players were disappointed, but "nobody was hanging their head," said Rodgers, pointing to the well-attended party as a sign of the health of the locker room."But no, it's a tight-knit group," he said. "You've got to stick together through losses, through decisions that are made that are out of our control and keep moving forward with the same vision."LEADING THE WAYPro Football Hall of Famers Will Shields and Aeneas Williams, three-time Pro Bowler Mark Brunell and three-time Super Bowl champion Willie McGinest will serve as the East-West Shrine Game legends captains.The four legends captains, who all played in the East-West Shrine Game
