But now with a handful of quick offensive weapons, not only are the Green Bay Packers prepared to give Rodgers more control than ever, they also plan to run a ‘fast-paced’ offense this season.

I’m not sure unveiling your ‘new’ faster-paced offense against the stout defense of the Seattle Seahawks is the preferred option of the Green Bay Packers, though it’s doubtful they’ll have a better test all season.
