I thought this quote was telling;"In 2009, the Packers rushed four on 64.2% of passes. That number crashed to 49.2% in 2010 and is down even more this year to 40.2%."I'm sure B.J. would like to have some more 'Jet' rushes," said McCarthy. "There's not a guy that doesn't want to have more 'Jet' rushes. But we're not doing it as much as we did last year. If you want more production from a pure pass-rushing standpoint, put them in 'Jet.' "Usually when the Packers pressure, the two defensive linemen are moving sideways in an attempt to tie up blockers and free the blitzers."I also thought it was interesting that Coach McCarthy wouldn't attribute pressure to any one position. He said; "We're a scheme defense," McCarthy said. "We're not a my-guy-is-better-than-your-guy deal. We're trying to create matchups with different combinations."So it isn't Raji's fault as much as the coaches have changed the scheme this year.</blockquote>
