Watch Green Bay vs Tampa Bay on 1:00 PM ET, November 08, 2009 NFL Live Streaming.

Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy is considering changes to fix the team’s porous pass protection. Perhaps merely facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will give the offensive line some confidence.

With the hits on Aaron Rodgers beginning to take their toll, the Packers look to take advantage of a matchup with the winless Buccaneers on Sunday.

Green Bay (4-3) was hurt by its former star quarterback in a 38-26 loss to Minnesota and Brett Favre last Sunday. Rodgers fell to 0-2 against his one-time mentor despite throwing for 287 yards and three touchdowns without getting picked off.

If not for all the pressure he faced, Rodgers may have had an even bigger game. He was sacked six times, suffering a sprain on one foot and a sprained toe on the other.

McCarthy expects Rodgers to play against Tampa Bay (0-7), but the Packers need to find a way to give him better protection. Rodgers has been sacked a league-worst 31 times after being taken down 34 times all of last season, but has still managed to complete 65.3 percent of his passes for 1,989 yards and 14 TDs with two interceptions.
