McCarthy wont call plays despite Packers struggle
The ' offense has looked discombobulated, wayward and often times anemic in recent weeks. No more so than during to a defense that entered the weekend ranked second-to-last in the NFL in scoring. "We needed 19 points to win today, you would expect us at home to score 19 points," a glum said frankly, .The have scored 20 points or fewer in three games this season and are on pace for the worst statistical season in the Rodgers era -- points per game (24.3), yards per game (344.3), pa sing yards per game (236.3) and third-down percent (36.4). T. J. Warren Jersey After Sunday's lo s, it's natural to question whether part of the problem was the offseason move from coach Mike McCarthy to Tom Clements calling plays. McCarthy, however, shot down queries about whether he'd think about resuming play-calling."I don't think it's that simple," McCarthy said when asked directly, . "I don't think the game of football is ever that simple. I think the way you play, it is about the simplistic nature you go about -- fundamentals and so forth. There's a lot of time (and) energy that's put into the proce s of preparing for each and every game, let alone the season. I like the way our staff works, and I like the way they work with our players."The ' offensive i sues are abundant, from questionable play-calling, to receivers not getting open, to running backs not finding holes, to protection breakdowns, to Rodgers not trusting his pa s catchers, mi sing reads and letting his mechanics slack. The quarterback, however, doesn't believe McCarthy needs to take back play-calling in order to get the offense back on track. "I think the way things are going are just fine," Rodgers replied. With a date against division-leading on deck, Rodgers needs to find his rhythm. Most a sumed that when injures struck, Rodgers' greatne s could overcome anything. In their three straight lo ses, that hasn't been the case. Jermaine O'Neal Jersey
