McCarthy took back Packers play-calling

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy took back Charles Johnson Jerseyoffensive play-calling duties before the team faced the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, effectively demoting associate head coach/offense Tom Clements; McCarthy gave Clements those duties before this season began. "The personal http://www.officialpanthersnflshop.com/MEN+CHARLES+TILLMAN+JERSEYpart of it was brutal," McCarthy said of breaking the news to Clement, who has been with him his entire 10 years in Green Bay. "Professionally, I felt like I had to do it. I was worried about making sure I was going to do my job good." McCarthy explained that he and Clement switched roles. "I've been suggesting things, and we just shift gears, where I called it today and he was suggesting http://www.officialpanthersnflshop.com/MEN+CHRIS+SCOTT+JERSEYthings," McCarthy said. "So it worked out. The decision was made because I feel as the leader of this football team I've got to make sure to maximize all the opportunities and resources to (save) and to give our team the chance to win." McCarthy will continue calling plays going forward. "Personally, it didn't Dion Sims Jerseyfeel very good. It didn't feel good at all," McCarthy said. "That's a challenge with these types of decisions. But professionally it was what I felt I needed to do. And regards to Tom Clements, he's a big part of our success here, has been since Day 1, and will be as we continue forward. So this is an adjustment in our process, and this is the way we'll go forward." Quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he did not believe the Packers' issues were about play-calling, they were about execution; http://www.dolphinsauthenticofficial.com/AUTHENTIC+EARL+MITCHELL+JERSEYhe felt the offense executed "a little better" against the Cowboys. With McCarthy in charge, the Packers rushed the ball 42 times for 233 yards, with an almost even split of carries between the first and second half, though runners were more effective in the second half (20 carries for 86 yards in the first half, 22 carries for 147 yards in the second). It was the first time since October 2009 that Green Bay topped 200 rushing yards in a game.
