Packers sticking with Tom Clements as playcaller, tweak operation slightly

However, McCarthy made one change in the offensive operation last week. Quarterbacks/receivers coach Alex Van Pelt moved from the coaches’ box, where he worked the first seven games, to the sideline. It’s likely this was the change McCarthy was referring to in his podcast on Packers.com (see the 7:30 mark) last week, when he said, “Frankly, we’re going to make an adjustment this week. ... In hindsight, job responsibility, when you go through a change, I probably might have asked too much of Tom.”

I do think this arrangement could work, but this team can't come out emotionless like it has been. To me, part of the play calling job is to set the tone, get the team in a rhythm, get them in the zone.

That hasn't been happening.

Might want to get Campen's opinion on why his oline sucks ass this year into the conversation.

His charges have had one decent year during his entire tenure.

I have a feeling this offense and blocking strategy would make Joe Thomas mediocre.

So now who is up in the booth getting the birds eye view of what is happening? That was always Clements job when McCarthy was calling plays, being able to see what Mike couldn't from the field.

That could be a big piece that is missing.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

As much turnover as we've had as a draft and develop team in player personnel, we've had more significant turnover in the coaching staff on the offensive side over the past 4 years. We have to give it time. We should also trust in that if Camp wasn't a good coach that Mike would have canned him by now. As bad as the oline looked last week, we cannot overlook the adverse effect Lacy's issues have had on our entire offense. He needs to get back on track or Alonzo Harris deserves some of his snaps.

jdlax (10h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (15h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
