‘Postseason is what counts’

Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy made these comments during his welcome-to-training-camp press conference on Wednesday:

– “I think everybody would be happy with 15-1 in the regular season, but I think everybody knows the postseason is what counts.”

– “The (preseason) games are very important for Graham (Harrell). He has very good command of the offense. He needs to play. He needs the live reps. I want to see him play tough in the pocket, transition and make plays.”

– “It’s clearly a different defense and it’s going to be a different offense, too, frankly.”

– “These young guys have added a lot of energy. It’ll be exciting to see them in pads,” McCarthy said of the team’s draft picks, the first six of which are defensive players.
