- -- Aaron Rodgers to have More Freedom in Offense --
Sun Jun 21, 2009 --from FFMastermind.com - The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has earned the trust of HC Mike McCarthy. Rodgers will likely have more freedom in the offense. While the Packers went 6-10 last season, Rodgers surely was not to blame. He finished with a completion percentage of 63.6, 4,038 passing yards and 28 touchdowns against 13 interceptions. While Rodgers did have the ability to audible last season, he often was limited to what options he had. McCarthy has indicated to this point that Rodgers will have more options at his disposal. "I just think that the way he calls plays, he'll give me more responsibility at the line of scrimmage this year," Rodgers said. "I think it's him trusting that he can call more plays where there's more of a chance that I might change it at the line of scrimmage depending on what I see. And that respect level has grown through the type of preparation I have put in. I think he saw the way I prepared every week and knew, 'OK, he's studied the film, he's studied the game plan, he knows what to expect, so I can call the play in so if he doesn't like it or he sees something different, he knows what the correct checks are going to be,' instead of calling a play where you're kind of locked into this with no other options."
