David - Appears like it. That offense stopped working decades ago.
Bring back the WCO with the deep option. What Mike McCarthy doesn't seem to get is that the WCO opens up the deep ball.
EDIT: He did know that in '07. But then again, Mike McCarthy is dead and that's really his retarded doppleganger that we're seeing now.

I think I've heared McCarthy talk about this on the McCarthy show just a week or 3 ago. He was talking about that deep option and dump-offs.
I don't know if you can totally put the blame on McCarthy here. Rodgers might have a little too much confidence in our WRs getting open. Especially with our O-line. Just look at some gametape. Nelson's open near the sidelines on a quick corner route. Grant is open on a 5 yard in. It's just that we'd be complaining about dumping it off too often he'd hit all of those routes. Just look at last year.
I agree, though, that the amount of slants, stick and quick ins/outs have been going down ever since 2007. I think that we had the perfect balance last year and that we're overdoing it this year.
