And when they get behind, and thus can't execute the scheme as designed, those weaknesses can be exploited.The point of the offense is deception. The Packers want to run and pass out of plays that look identical to the defense in terms personnel, pre-snap motion, and post-snap action. Playing within that system has allowed them to cover up for deficiencies such as their WR corps beyond Adams, or the ability of the tackles to hold up consistently in pass pro. When the team falls beyond and has to operate in catch-up mode, they a) can't run the ball as much, and b) can't force the defense to honor the run. This is what happened in the Tampa Bay game. Rodgers threw a pick, and then another pass off of Adams' hands was intercepted. Add in the first actual drive from TB, and they found themselves down two scores, and needed to play in catch up mode. But in a straight drop back offense, the OL couldn't protect. So I see it as less of a failure of the coaching staff to make the adjustments, and more of a failure of the personnel to be able to execute the adjustments.</blockquote>
