[QUOTE="TJV, post: 572626, member: 4300"] I think it has more to do with the failure of players. For example if the Packers had a RB that was adept at running the ball, pass protection, and as a receiver, that player could fill all those roles without having to be substituted for. Lacy should be that player but he’s not running the ball well this season. That’s not all his fault, the OL has to take responsibility for that as well. If Lacy were running the ball as well as he did last season, the no huddle would look much better. If the Packers had a TE who could pass protect and run block from the TE and backfield position, and who could get separation as a receiver that would be ideal for the no huddle. If that player also had the speed to challenge two-deep coverage he’d be the whole package. But that player isn’t on the roster, even without the speed component. Those two players would really make the no huddle go – they could stay on the field on third and short, third and long, and everything in between while the D is static because it can’t change personnel. Lacy is supposed to be the player described above but the Packers don’t have the TE described – Finley, although inconsistent, was that player. So that’s the criticism I think McCarthy deserves for his extensive use of the no huddle – he’s missing a key part that would make it work very well. OK, so why not go back to 4 WRs or empty backfield formations more as he’s done in the past? He really doesn’t have the players for that, either. Boykin has been a disappointment so far and so has Cobb IMO. I think Adams will be good but Rodgers probably doesn’t completely trust him and he doesn’t appear to trust Janis at all. That could and should change as the season goes on, but competence at WR and the trust of the QB in those WRs is crucial in the Packers offense. Also, the OL has to perform up to McCarthy’s assertion that it’s the best group he’s had in Green Bay. It hasn’t performed like that. Finally add in Rodgers not being his deadly accurate self and the result is what we’ve seen so far. IMO McCarthy may be using the no huddle too much, but that’s a secondary issue when compared to the play of the OL, the WRs, Lacy’s inability to run as well as he should, and Rodgers [I]relative[/I] inaccuracy.
