A lot of people are talking about how the Packers offense won’t change at all because all the starters are returning. But there was on big change. Communication and the execution of the gameplan are paramount in NFL football games. Our offense excels at execution and we are returning all starters. But that one big change…that one big change may make a difference.
The relinquishing of play-calling duties by Mike McCarthy is a change that should not be underestimated. McCarthy has said that he has been contemplating that exact change since the year before Philbin got the job in Miami. So presumably this team is more than ready for the play calling to be done by the offensive coordinator instead of the head coach. But it is a change nonetheless. What say you Packernation? How with the change in play calling duties affect the Packers’ offense?
I’m not sure how to vote this one! It will be interesting to see the preseason how it will effect the offense, on one hand I say it will help because MM will be more involved with the whole team but on the other hand MM is a big part of why this offense was #1
Right on Jeff! I think clem will reflect MMs vision and Aaron will make adjustments and we will be in good hands. And great point about the advantage of MM being able to focus in other areas.
I don’t expect it to change the offense much, but sure hope it changes the D and ST. Would love to see prevent eliminated in 3rd and longs with pressure on the opposing QBs. Would love ST to play according to the situation – defending against 1st downs or TDs on meaningless FG attempts, etc.. Go Pack go!
The offense will be the same or probably better. MM will still help with overall strategy during the week and list the plays to call in situations. There will be a list of plays on the goal line, third and long plays…MM will listen to the plays as they are transmitted to AR. If he doesn’t like the play he can say so. The difference as I see it is MM now has a more overall view of the game and hopefully, will not get so conservative with a small lead.
