Notebook: Scheme changes in store for '09, McCarthy says

While the most notable changes have come on defense and special teams, the Green Bay Packers arent standing pat on offense either.

Though its not as grandiose as the defense switching to the 3-4 under new coordinator Dom Capers or even as comprehensive as the overhaul on special teams under new coach Shawn Slocum, there are subtle changes taking place in the running and passing games.

Coach Mike McCarthy was vague about whats being added to or perhaps taken out of the offense, but he mentioned scheme changes on Wednesday during McCarthys first one-on-one interview of the offseason with the Press-Gazette when he was asked what quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been working on this offseason.

Aarons been working on fundamentals and just going through some of the scheme changes that were anticipating making, McCarthy said. He does a great job in the fundamental drills and the skill drills.

When asked what specific changes McCarthy and offensive coordinator Joe Philbin plan to implement, McCarthy said: Youre always adjusting the offense, trying to stay ahead of the opponents. We make changes every year. The bigger changes in scheme are on defense and special teams.

I hope Mike McCarthy doesn't over tinker with the offensive scheme past the run blocking on the offensive line and his own playcalling becoming more balanced and at times less predictable.

If he is talking about learning to use ball control and an "effective" running game late in games to take pressure off the defensive.. that will make me a happy man.

September yet?

Sounds good, as long as it will stay within his style, not forcing himself into some new plays. Pretty much like Pack93 said.

Maybe he didn't notice himself how many 3rd and 10 screens he was running? Or saw how conservative he seemed to be this year, while nearly becomming COTY with a more aggressive 2007 season.

I hope he'll add some WR screens.

Sounds interesting. You gotta change a little every year no matter what you do or what sport you play. I am totally loving this off-season.

What I'm really loving is that Ted Thompson hasn't panicked amidst the toxic atmosphere of people clamoring for his head. He hasn't made any moves out of desperation or a desire to make a splash for media consumption. He has remained cool and collected. That's the kind of guy I want for a leader.

Our problems last year stemmed from very little change on the defensive side and teams being succesful against it because they knew what they were going to see.
We gave opposing OC's a big advantage preparing for us and that is about to change big time. I don't look for a sweeping 3-4 changeover being implemented a high percentage of the time as much as I see multiple looks and multiple personnel packages.

There is only one scheme change we need on O.

Stop being such a pussy MM. That's it.

(In other words, let Aaron Rodgers take his training wheels off. He was ready to ride his bike without training wheels since '07).
