OLB coach Mike Smith: Rashan Gary is 'all over the place' - Packers.com

GREEN BAY – The Packers' three coordinators and defensive position coaches met with the media over the past couple of days.

Here's a summary of their key comments:

Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett

On the jet sweep motion:

It is always good to get the yards. It puts the defense in a bind on how they're going to adjust. Is it a regular motion? Is it a fly motion? It just gives them something different to look at. It fit this past game and it's something we definitely thought kind of confused them a little bit, and we wanted to keep going with the stuff that was working.

Last year guys were wondering why are we moving so much? Why can't we just line up? I think they're starting to understand the power of the motion and all the different motions we can do. They embrace it more and get a feel for it. The more you can learn the why of something, the more successful it can be on the field.

On the benefits of deep shots even if they don't connect:

It can help the run game. Anytime you threaten anybody down the field, it softens up those DBs and they can't be part of the fit against the run. It still makes people very nervous, it changes defensive coordinators' calls at times, whether you complete it or not. It shows you're willing to take a shot.

On Aaron Rodgers' cadence:

The only thing I can tell you is, don't even try to figure it out, because I haven't. It's one of those things, you don't want to mess up a good thing. It's its own world. It's a true weapon. I'd be lying to you if I totally understood it. That's the beauty of it. Aaron understands the power of it, and our team understands that. It's unbelievable, it's like the Matrix, his voice.
