It's now official. As Mike McCarthy announced on Thursday, the Packers' coaching changes have taken effect and the head coach is no longer calling plays. Following that news, several Packers assistants with new jobs were interviewed by beat reporters and given the opportunity to discuss their approaches to their positions.
That's the big topic around Green Bay today, but another one has surfaced involving a free agent. It seems that Packers fans love to hate Ndamukong Suh, but one analyst thinks he would be a great addition to the Packers' defense.

Well that was a short-lived experiment. McCown's release saves the Bucs over $5 million in cap space for 2015, and likely means that Tampa will be taking a quarterback with the first overall pick.
