Green Bay's coaches will teach to the lowest common denominator again this year instead of forcing the rookies to catch up to the veterans.
The Green Bay Packers' rookie class appears to be an intelligent group, one that is capable of learning and understanding concepts fairly quickly both in the classroom and on the field. However, that apparently did not factor into Mike McCarthy's decision-making process when figuring out how to begin teaching his team the playbook this season.
2015 appears to have been a case of trial and error in that respect, and apparently McCarthy feels that the error part of the equation was too high and so he is going back to his old process.
Meanwhile, the team's rookies appear to be happy to absorb anything and everything they can at this point, and with two weeks to go until Organized Team Activities kick off, they'll be spending plenty of time going over their playbooks and working hard to prepare for their first on-field practices with their veteran teammates.
We've got that news plus much more in today's curds.
