McCarthy Presser:
Michael Cohen‏ @Michael_Cohen13 20m20 minutes ago
#Packers coach Mike McCarthy is at the podium now. Team put it in the first install yesterday. First public OTA is later this morning.

Packer Report‏ @PackerReport 19m19 minutes ago
Focus on the passing game, McCarthy says. Offense installed in eight segments. Must take advantage of players' skills. Tilted more to pass.

Wes Hodkiewicz‏ @WesHod 19m19 minutes ago
McCarthy: Quality of work is definitely higher with throwing the football. We're talking 6-7 percent of snaps from run to pass #Packers

Michael Cohen‏ @Michael_Cohen13 18m18 minutes ago
McCarthy said he doesn't adjust OTA planning based on size of the rookie class. He wants to get the ball moving quickly regardless of age.

Tom Pelissero‏ @TomPelissero
Roger Goodell is expected to tell NFL owners group celebrations, using ball as prop after TDs, going to ground, snow angels are now allowed.

Wes Hodkiewicz‏ @WesHod 15m15 minutes ago
McCarthy on Kenny Clark: Kenny is crushing it in the weight room. That's what you want to see. I look for Kenny to do a lot more #Packers

Packer Report‏ @PackerReport 14m14 minutes ago
Goal for offseason practices: Trust the process and "max out" these 10 practices and post-practice meetings.

Wes Hodkiewicz‏ @WesHod 13m13 minutes ago
McCarthy: "Helluva football player. I like the way he's come in and fits into the room, not only OL but locker room" #Packers

Michael Cohen‏ @Michael_Cohen13 12m12 minutes ago
McCarthy said all three veteran players — Evans, Jean Francois, House — have been excellent additions to the locker room so far. #Packers

Packers' best acquisition: Martellus Bennett
Bennett comes to the Packers with valuable postseason experience. He and Lance Kendricks should make Green Bay's double-tight-end sets difficult to defend.

Packers open with Davon House and LaDarius Gunter at the corner spots with three safeties -- Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Morgan Burnett and Kentrell Brice -- in the nickel. Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins rotated in on the outside.
