Here's a twist, you would figure that during this week of practice, the Packers would be inside the Hutson Center with the heat cranked up in preparation for heading to Florida.  Instead, the Packers went through their jog-thru and then headed outside this morning.
More notably: Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, Jermichael Finley were in sweats but not practicing.  Jason Spitz and Korey Hall were nowhere to be found.

NOTE:  Left over from the Packers / Vikings match-up.  The final score of 38-26 equals the first time, in the history of the NFL, that this score represented the final score of any game.  According to pro-football-reference.com

When it came to the subject of sacks, Aaron Rodgers says that some of the sacks are certainly on him and that he needs to do a better job of getting rid of the ball a little quicker even if it means throwing it away.  When asked if his lineman ever give him grief for taking a sack he smile and said, "Yeah, they point out the ones that are my fault.  They give me the business a bit".  Rodgers said that they point out the mistakes in a somewhat humorous way and that no one in the locker room has pointed fingers in a mean spirited way, in either direction.  "I know how to be with my guys and they know what they get from me, we've got a great relationship."

Mark Tauscher took most of the reps at right tackle today in practice and it looks more and more like he'll get either the start on Sunday or quite a few live reps.  Chad Clifton had full participation in today's practice as well and you get the feeling that McCarthy wants to get both guys playing time this week in order to be ready to face Dallas and San Francisco in the weeks following.
As far as Allen Barbre goes, McCarthy admits that Barebre needs work in his pass blocking and that it's too inconsistent right now.

McCarthy was emphatic when he discussed the penalties, specifically Johnny Jolly's head butt penalty and his comments after the game where Jolly claimed, "That's the way I play".  McCarthy says that numerous players were involved in specific discussions on Monday and, "Believe me, they know that that's unacceptable and it had better not happen again".  McCarthy said that ultimately the responsibility falls upon his shoulders but that penalties are not acceptable.  Some penalties are obviously a part of the game but the mounting "stupid" penalties will not be tolerated.  Jolly did state that he was spoken to about his actions and, while he doesn't want to lose his aggressiveness, he needs to use his head before his emotions get him into trouble.
