The Packers' goal is to run 75 offensive plays per game this season.
The Broncos led the league at 72.1 plays per game last season and the Pack were 11th at 66.8. Getting 75 offensive snaps off weekly isn't very realistic, but it speaks to the tempo at which coach Mike McCarthy wants his team to play. The goal is to prevent defensive substitutions, keeping them in base formations. "We play pretty fast, but you always want to play faster," McCarthy said. More plays mean more box score production across the board, especially with Aaron Rodgers at the controls.

the draw back is how tired his defense will be if he cant sustain the drives at the accelerated pace. thought they wanted to run the ball more.

Fast paced offense does not mean all passes. You can still run the ball. Its actually easier to keep the pace fast when you run shorter running plays.
