Packers Morning Buzz: It's an Aaron Rodgerspalooza

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com. Grab a strong cup of coffee or brew some tea and get caught up on everything you need to know about the Packers.

We’ll start with Tom Silverstein’s look at the Packers’ new quarterbacks coach, Frank Cignetti, and his challenge taking over for Alex Van Pelt.

From Michael:

Cignetti, 52, spent the past two seasons working with New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, so he’s not new to coaching a legend. But Cignetti was teaching a different curriculum to Manning; he and coach Ben McAdoo were putting in a version of McCarthy’s offense, which was new to him.

In Green Bay, Rodgers has been along every step of the way in the installation and refinement of the McCarthy system and probably could tell Cignetti more about it than the other way around. Cignetti will have to dig deep to find ways to reach Rodgers.

“I love to coach,” Cignetti said. “I believe part of being a successful coach is building trustful relationships. And I look forward to that.”

Rodgers has sought a say in who will coach him, but McCarthy has chosen not to consult him — an issue Rodgers raised publicly Thursday.
