It's possible he was just playing coy, but Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers brushed off the possibility that the no-huddle would be a regular part of the offense.

Given that coach Mike McCarthy went to it on just the second series of the preseason, one would think the no-huddle might show up more often than with 2 minutes or less left in either half.

The Packers' No. 1 offense marched right down the field against Cleveland, covering 73 yards on seven plays in 4 minutes 3 seconds. The only bad play was a holding penalty against center Scott Wells.

Asked whether the no-huddle could become a facet of the offense like the "Big Five" receiver set or the inverted wishbone, Rodgers said he wouldn't go that far.

"I think he (McCarthy) just wanted to get that on film and see how it looked from a self-scout evaluation," Rodgers said. "That's something we do in practice from time to time and just a change of pace. We wanted to see how it worked in a game situation."

So would he be in favor of more of it?

"It's not my decision," he said. "I'll leave that up to the people making those decisions."

The Packers' no-huddle was not a hurry-up where Rodgers is trying to get the ball snapped as soon as possible to save time on the clock. Instead, players get to the line of scrimmage and stand around until Rodgers barks out the play.
