Ok....but don’t the other teams also know what Rodgers will call in the 2 minute drill, as well as what Mike McCarthy might call the rest of the time?
Teams have film on Rodgers and the 2 minute drill. So they would be just as prepared. Yet Aaron makes it work, right?

If you assume Rodgers has the same ol pattern most 2 minutes then heck yeah you're correct.

But Rodgers is touted as a very smart guy and probably makes adjustments to what he calls based off what he saw the first 28 mins of the half.

I agree with you, Beast. And it actually helps make my point. Rodgers at the line, can change things up if he sees something to take advantage of.
During the game, the opponent can somewhat tell what play will be run, based on past games and seasons.
So that gives them an advantage.
If Rodgers called all the plays, with anything possible, the defense wouldn’t know what is coming.
JMO of course.
I just think, why NOT give it I try?

The 2 minute offense realistically consists of a reduced number of plays compared to the full playbook. Depending on the timeout situation (the Packers usually don't have any by the 2 minute mark 😁 ) passes to the center of the field may be out for the question as are a great deal of the runs. There may not be many substitutions to worry about either if the clock stays running. I think it would be much easier for a QB to call a successful 2 minute drill than a whole game. You would have to wonder if there would be certain plays that Aaron simply wouldn't call...like running plays or passes under 20 yards.

This is pure speculation on my part, but I think part of the reason Rodgers 2:00 works so well is because it is different than the rest of the game plan. It's the switch in playcaller that I think makes it so successful. If Rodgers was calling the entire game and then the other team would adjust to Rodgers thinking and a switch to Mike McCarthy might be more successful then.

I have no clue if that's correct, but it's just another thought that the switching back and forth might be better instead of either one doing over 75% of the play calling.


Though where I completely agree with Jennings is that Mike McCarthy runs a ton of isolation routes to get as many one on one matches as possible... and refuses to run group routes (man beaters as I think some call them) as much as possible.

When you have more talented depth than the defense then running iso routes make a ton of sense ... but when you don't how about mix SOME man beaters routes/plays in... it can be less than 25%, no problem, but more than 10% would be nice and keep the defense a little off guard.
