It was not play calling, it was quarterbacking and execution. We ran the same plays we just got to run a lot more of them because we did not have all the no gain and negative playes. It makes a huge difference when you block and complete passes.

Yesterday is the way that we should have been using McClain all year.

One thing I noticed was that they were executing the quick bubble screen wonderfully.
I don't know if that was Muir's dumbass calling that play into the huddle or if Orton was doing a quick read audible, but I'd guess it was more Orton. He makes Cassel look like a pee-wee. |

The same plays are in the playbook. That hasn't changed, but the pattern that the plays were called yesterday was different and the play calling wasn't entirely predictable. It was almost as if there was an overarching plan and purpose in their play calling. Using the OL in space, screens to slow down the rush, etc. It almost made me think someone had watched some film.
Obviously having a legitimate NFL quarterback made many plays more successful, and even those that were not made the Packers react (thinking of the incomplete to Baldwin on the three). Yesterday, when they had succes the stuck with it. For instance, they kept running the screen until GB made an adjustment. Previously, when something had been successful Jones immedately went back in for another dose of Herm-ball. GB never did have an answer for the outside running game. Now just to find a solution to the goal line offense (cough..Bowe in the corner...cough). |

Playcalling was different. Seemed like Jones and McClain were used much more. I didn't notice Dex in the backfield all that much attempting to pick up blitzes.

It seemed tp me that the play calling was only a little bit different, but that Orton was a lot more poised in the pocket than our other QBs have been. If you settle into the pocket and look downfield, you can find opportunities with our receivers. Orton played a gutsy game yesterday, it seemed to me, just by staying in the pocket and picking his shots.

Playcalling looked about the same to me. The difference is that we had a QB who could execute.
