[QUOTE="IronMan, post: 167772, member: 727"] [url]http://www.packersnews.com/includes/newspaper/blogs/insider/index.shtml[/url] Packers Coach Mike McCarthy says he wants to commit to the running game. He says he really means it. But on game days, that resolve seems to get lost in the shuffle when it comes time for McCarthy to call the plays. Only once in 16 games last season -- against Arizona -- did McCarthy run the ball more than pass it. One other game -- against the 49ers -- he had a 50-50 split between runs and passes. The Packers won both of those games. McCarthy likes to point out that play calls are dependent on various situations, including down, distance and whether the Packers are ahead or behind. All things being equal and given the current roster, it would appear McCarthy will lean more heavily toward the pass than the run. Here's a game-by-game breakdown of the Packers' run-pass ratio under McCarthy: 2006 Game 1 -- 0-26 loss to Chicago: 23 runs, 30 passes. Game 2 -- 27-34 loss to New Orleans: 20 - 55. Game 3 -- 31-24 win at Detroit: 27 - 36. Game 4 -- 9-31 loss at Philadelphia: 28 - 47. Game 5 -- 20-23 loss vs. St. Louis: 26 - 39. Game 6 -- 34-24 win at Miami: 29 - 35. Game 7 -- 31-14 win vs. Arizona: 39 - 25. Game 8 -- 10-24 loss at Buffalo: 30 - 47. Game 9 -- 23-17 win vs. Minnesota: 26 -- 42. Game 10 -- 0-35 loss vs. New England: 16 - 27. Game 11 -- 24-34 loss at Seattle: 20 - 36. Game 12 -- 10-38 loss vs. New York Jets: 23 - 47. Game 13 -- 30-19 win at San Francisco: 34 - 34. Game 14 -- 17-9 win vs. Detroit: 32 - 37. Game 15 -- 9-7 win vs. Minnesota: 24 - 51. Game 16 -- 26-7 win at Chicago: 34 - 42. 2007 Game 1 -- 16-13 win vs. Philadelphia: 17 - 46. -- Mike Vandermause, [email]mvandermause@greenbaypressgazette.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
