Coach Mike McCarthy made it a point to hammer that home on Tuesday, saying that neither the team’s goal, nor their style of play will be altered without Nelson.
“Like I’ve already stated, nothing’s changed,” McCarthy said. The goals are the same. Our team identity is the same. How we want to play, the style of football we want to play, the important building blocks of how we go about our business each and every day, that will not change.”
That’s not unexpected coming from an organization that’s always dealing with injuries and always spouting out their “next man up” mantra.
