From the ‘tweeter’ – here’s what you missed from Packers minicamp
Mike McCarthy had much to say yesterday on a variety of topics. He will address the media again today after the second day of minicamp. His press conference will start at about 1:35 p.m.

We all know that Green Bay Packers Coach Mike McCarthy isn’t always up-to-date on all the new technologies and social media that his players take part in – calling Twitter the “tweeter.”
So cute he is.
But when it comes to reporting about his team, the media surely takes full advantage of the “tweeter” in following every one of McCarthy’s and his players’ words.
Yesterday was a prime example. If you missed any of the news coming out of Green Bay from McCarthy, Johnny Jolly and Sam Shields, among others, here is what you missed.
There’s some good stuff here. Enjoy …
McCarthy: Great to have Jolly back. Was on limited practice plan,; just being smart. Make sure we have good grasp on where he is physically

MM on Jolly: Our locker room is ready to embrace him and give him the support he needs... We just want to get him back into the rhythm.

More McCarthy on Jolly: "He's a football player competing for a job." McCarthy added there was no hesitation in giving Jolly this chance.

MM on Shields: It's great to have Sam back. He's on a similar plan, as far as the limited reps, just to see where he is in conditioning.
— Brian Carriveau (@BrianCarriveau) June 4, 2013
MM: Very important to get Shields here for minicamp. You want your players here.
— Mike Vandermause (@MikeVandermause) June 4, 2013
MM on kicking competition: They kicked very well today ... We'll stay with the same plan we showed today.

MM: Offensive line, it's the footwork, I have all confidence in world in Sitton and Bulaga. Looks pretty good to me.

MM: Finley looks excellent. Has put weight back on. Stronger, playing with more confidence. I like offseason he has put together.

Shields: I want to be a Packer. I really don’t want to go anywhere else. I’ve been here. I started here and I just want to keep continuing

Ryan Pickett on his future: I'm going to go out and play the best I can. If it leads to me being here again, great ... I have a job to do

McCarthy's "one of the 90" comment on Jolly seems accurate. Has a long ways to go to make the 53 and/or have an impact this year.

Johnny Jolly: "I haven't had no codeine in almost two years, about 19 months. My body feels great. I feel good." #Packers
— Paul (@Paulimig) June 4, 2013
Aaron Rodgers on Jolly: "To me, he’s still the jovial Jolly that left us ... I don’t feel like he needs to try and explain anything."
