Deviate only if the defensive set is extreme against what we have called, in which case, Rodgers can change the play at the line.

Maybe because the other team know it's coming or expect a pass in that range if MM play calling patterns show anything... but I'm thinking that little change in offense seems to hurt the Packers moving the ball, it's not working like it used to.
I remember when FB Hall was still around it seemed like Hall was always used between the 30 yard lines, and Kuhn was always inside the 30 yard lines, line there was some sort of automatic offensive switch that went on when they pasted a certain line in their play calling. Seems like MM is still switching it up at some point and the switch up isn't always working nearly as well as it has in the past.
Maybe pounding it more would help...
I still want to see MM use a RB some what like the Saints do... where they basically use the RB out of the back field more or less as a WR (like they did with Bush and Sproles) and I think Franklin could fit that role perrty well.
