Tom Clements comes in from the cold

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The last time Tom Clements was on the sideline for an NFL game, the temperature at kickoff was 5 degrees with a wind-chill of minus-10.

No wonder the Green Bay Packers' offensive coordinator has decided to move from the sideline to the coaches' box for games this season.

"I didn't want to get cold in the winter," the 61-year-old Clements said Thursday, referring to the Packers' playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers last January at Lambeau Field.

Wonder how much this plays with inept offense.

Where this might have an effect is the buffer role Clements may or may not have played between Rodgers and MM. If Rodgers and Mike McCarthy truly don't have a good relationship and Aaron's buffer is up in the press box that isn't a good thing.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

McAdoo's unit finally seems to be running pretty smooth tonight.

In other words, Rodgers wasn't saying the defensive issues were due to Capers being in the booth, but made it clear he likes having his coaches easily accessible on the field. This was from a couple years ago, maybe three?

I think old Tom needs to be on the sidelines.
He might be better able to hold McCarty's feet to the fire (regarding his play calling) face to face.
