From the article

Last season, however, Warren and team MVP Kenneth Gainwell found ways to be safety valves for Rodgers in games exactly like this one where the pass rush was heavy and the receivers weren't doing much downfield. That's not good enough, even if McCarthy's passing game isn't designed to work through the backs to the same extent former OC Arthur Smith's was.

Gainwell's safety valve role diminished under McCarthy's offensive scheme.

Gainwell was team MVP last season and found ways to be a safety valve for Rodgers in games with heavy pass rush, but the source notes that McCarthy's passing game isn't designed to work through the backs to the same extent former OC Arthur Smith's was.
