I wish I could have been in the room for McCarthy's presser today. It sounds as though it was the first bit of candidness he's shown in quite some time. He second-guessed his second down call on the goal line possession (though not the fullback dive - sigh), he revealed the impending release of punter Derrick Frost and, in what to me is the most telling quote, said the following:

We've got to be a little more physical in certain spots of our game.

As far as I know, that's the first time McCarthy has publicly acknowledged what I and many, many other bloggers and media members have noted over the course of the last three years - that the Packers under McCarthy have become a finesse team, unable to do things like pound the football for a yard when it was necessary. It will be interesting to see if McCarthy and, more importantly, Thompson do anything this offseason to address what is a glaring lack of toughness on their football team.
