McCarthy wants Cobb off special teams
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jeremy Ross had his chance as the Packers' new return specialist in the postseason. A muffed punt in a critical moment of a playoff game may have made Ross a former Packers' return specialist.
Ross could get another shot next season, but one thing is certain: Randall Cobb's days on special teams are over.

Mama Mia, Packers Signing an Italian Kicker?
Forza Tavecchio?
According to an Italian Web site and a tweet from current Packer Jeremy Ross, the Packers have signed former Cal kicker Giorgio Tavecchio. Tavecchio was in camp with the 49ers last year, but was cut in favor of David Akers. Additional sources have reported the same news.
As a California Golden Bear, Tavechhio made 48 of 64 field goals (75%) and also missed 9 extra...
My Top Ten Second Thoughts: Packers vs. 49ers
Having had a night to sleep on and digest the Packers’ loss to the 49ers, there are 10 things about this game I feel the need to address in a little more detail. Here goes:
Packers coaching philosophy: In the NFL, it’s all about success. There are no style points, no points for technical brilliance. Find what is working and stick with it. If something’s not working, make...
Packers - Niners Takeaways
Ink Makes Him Run Fast
> No one outside of Wisconsin or California saw the first ten minutes of this one, so I won't pretend I did, either
> The Niners got away with incidental contact on a face mask because it was against RB DaJuan Harris
> WR James Jones made a circus catch on a deep ball that was spectacular all over
> Harris then busted it straight up the...
Packers-49ers Live Blog, Second Half
Colin Kaepernick has touchdowns for both sides in the first half of play. One passing for the Packers and one running for the 49ers. Also, one passing for the 49ers, in which he hit Michael Crabtree streaking over the middle on a 3rd down in the red zone after the Packers’ Jeremy Ross muffed a punt away.
Aaron Rodgers armpunted the ball to the Niners, setting up another eventual...

Season finale: Packers vs. Vikings preview
In week 17, the NFL regular season finale, the NFC North Division Champion Green Bay Packers travel across the Mississippi River to take on the Minnesota Vikings in the Humpty Dump.

Punt-returner Ross ready to prove himself
GREEN BAY, Wis. Jeremy Ross didn't have a great first impression with the Packers.
It was Ross, a first-year player activated to the roster from the practice squad earlier this month, who was on the receiving end of the ill-fated punt return trick play in Chicago on Dec. 16. After Randall Cobb threw a cross-field backwards pass late in the fourth quarter of that game, Ross...

Packers Playbook (aka Hobbjective Analysis): Week 16 vs. Tennessee Titans
My, where should we go for Hobbjective analysis this week? I mean the entire game was essentially a highlight reel for the Packers, and to be honest, I’m not entirely sure how accurate much of the second half is in terms of execution because it’s pretty obvious that the Titans have stopped trying at some point and just want to go home.
One play that I think hasn’t gotten...
Packers Playbook (aka Hobbjective Analysis): Week 15 at Chicago Bears
So special teams is one of those things that no fan knows about but we all love to gripe about. For instance, other than the kicker, punter, long snapper and gunner, do you know the name of any other position? I sure don’t but I will yell at the screen when the guy misses a block. This is essentially what happened during the “punt, pass and puke” play as quoted by Drew...
Rodgers: Trick play 'not a very intelligent call'
GREEN BAY, Wis. Less than eight minutes away from clinching the NFC North, the Packers, with a comfortable 21-10 lead over the Chicago Bears, decided to try a trick play. However, it backfired terribly, almost got the Bears back in the game and had quarterback Aaron Rodgers wondering why it was even attempted.
"I wasn't thrilled with the call, to be honest with you,"...

Packers vs Vikings - It's Time
After the disappointing dismantling of the Green Bay Packers by the NY Giants last Sunday night, we don't quite know what to expect today. Will the ViQueens' defensive front, led by Jared Allen, wreak havoc on the Pack's sieve-like offensive line and take away any chance for Aaron Rodgers to connect with his receivers before getting mauled in a collapsing pocket? Or,...
