Good read... a piece of it below

Aaron Rodgers has had to stay sharp in training camp this year.
Following a disastrous end to the 2014 season, Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy gave up play-calling duties to lessen his individual workload.
In doing so, he began to spend less time with the Packers offense and more time with the defense. As time passed, he decided to try an experiment to level the playing field in training camp.
As USA Today's Tom Pelissero details, while spending time with the defense, McCarthy decided to leak Aaron Rodgers' play-calling signals to defenders so they could read him at the line and to challenge Rodgers, too.
Rodgers told Pelissero he knew something was up when he heard the defense communicating in new ways:
"I started thinking, 'Somebody must’ve told them something, because there’s no way that they would say anything like that unless somebody told them,'" Rodgers said. "Deductive reasoning told me that Mike probably went over there and gave away some of our secrets."

You know what, I know we all bash MM sometimes but you have to admit he can be creative.

So instead of challenging the D he gave them a crutch?

I think it's more to challenge Rodgers, b/c if he's calling a play, that means that the D is already lined up in such a way that it is advantageous for the QB to change the called play.
