And that’s why, if I’m calling plays for the Packers on Sunday, I script a game plan that can work against pressure teams. For example, the screen and draw — especially on early downs — the three-step passing game and all the routes that come with it (slant, hitch, fade, out), and the bubble, or wide receiver, screen.

Anything that gets the ball out of quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ hands quickly and into the hands of his playmakers.

Seems like I've seen a few posts on this very topic already - like all season long. I wonder if today is the day McCarthy finally wakes up.

People always ask what is the difference between this team and the one that went 13-3 2 years ago. People want to say Favre, or injuries, or decline in certain players, etc. I think a big part of it that never gets mentioned is that people have figured out how to defend McCarthy's offense. Those plays were the bread of butter of the team in 2007, but I think defenses have figured out how to take those away now. And we haven't adjusted. Just a theory.
