Aaron Rodgers Might Start Wearing Cheat Sheet on Wrist Due to Long Playcalls
By Ryan Giglio
The mindset of "out with the old, in with the new" is relevant in Green Bay this year.
But is that mantra always beneficial?
It's still too early to determine just how successful the new Packers' offense will be in 2019. A lot of it will depend on Aaron Rodgers' comfort level with the new scheme, but the great quarterback is doing anything he can to make the offense run as smoothly as possible-- and that might end up including a very special wristband.
Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters on Friday that Rodgers has recently worn a cheat sheet on his wrist that had certain plays on it. Since many of the new coach's plays are pretty long and detailed to call out, the cheat sheet is aimed to help Rodgers get the calls in faster.
It is not yet determined whether Rodgers will wear this little helper Sunday night against the Vikings, but the 35-year-old did just fine without it on opening night.
Rodgers completed 18 of 30 attempts for 203 total yards and 1 touchdown against the Bears last Thursday in Week 1. Rodgers and the Packers will want to play at their highest potential on Sunday against another division rival with playoff aspirations; if the cheat sheet may help, why not use it?
