Packers CEO confident Rodgers, McCarthy will work together Published: Oct 06, 2018 at 10:59 PM NFL Network Insider The have been here before. At different moments, star quarterback and longtime coach Mike McCarthy appear to not exactly be on the same page. Their words hint at a certain creative tension centered around an offense still finding its way, while both men then take great pains to say that notion is being misconstrued. Like everyone else watching intently, CEO and president Mark Murphy noticed.
Zach Ertz Jersey And what Murphy expects is exactly what has happened in the past. "We've seen this before," Murphy told NFL Network this week. "I think they've had a great relationship. It's just, two highly competitive people. The most important thing, they both want the same thing -- they want us to win and obviously score as many points as po

The , 19th in scoring, 17th in total offense, coming off a di satisfying win, seem like a team still searching. Murphy didn't deny there is tension. He did deny it was an i sue, while noting he has talked with all parties recently. "Their track record is pretty good," Murphy said, just after the announcement of plans for , the mixed-use real estate development west of Lambeau Field. "It's a competitive league.

He's spoken with Rodgers, as well. "The most important relationship is between Mike and Aaron," Murphy said. "I do think having Joe Philbin back is a positive in my mind. He's great. And we had great succe s with him as our offensive coordinator." Rodgers, who had a knee sprain and bone bruise earlier in the year, was taken off the injury report this week. A sign that he's full-go. Murphy said his understanding was that Rodgers is rapidly improving. "Give Aaron credit for fighting through that injury," Murphy said.
