McCarthy on changing playcalling duties

Packers coach Mike McCarthy talks about how his role will change with a new playcaller for the offense.

"I'm still coaching."

I'm glad they did this, because there was just something about Mike's psychology that made them emotionally contract at the end of games. So it kind of had to be done. I'm optimistic for now.

Regardless, the "play to not lose" philosophy which rears it's ugly head at times under McCarthy will probably linger.
Mike just doesn't have it in him to put his foot on an opponents throat until they tap out.

Time will tell when the game is on the line, down by 4, @ the Packers 22 yd line with 1:55 to go and all 3 time outs. Is he gonna tell Clemments, "I got this", because he "IS THE HEAD COACH"?

nerdmann. can you link this quote you posted in another thread? Very interesting...

Quote:
McCarthy actually gave him those duties in the 2011 regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions as a way to keep him involved even though Rodgers was held out of the game to rest for the playoffs. In that game, backup Matt Flynn threw for 480 yards and six touchdowns -- both team records at the time.

I think the playing ("not") to lose mentality is more of a problem then the stat whoring. That's why I an in favor of the move. I think if Clements turns out to be a disaster, that Mike will make another move and hand the reigns to Edgar Bennett, to whom the duty SHOULD fall. But if Aaron can legitimately get it done using Clements as a proxy, then by all means, I can take a little stat whoring.

Aaron Rodgers only called the plays for one half in that 2011 Lions game. I don't remember if it was first or second half though.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from
