Do the Green Bay Packers have an offensive identity? Are they close to finding one? And is all that just media-speak? Coach Matt LaFleur covered a lot of ground with his answer.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Do the Green Bay Packers have an offensive identity? With five games in the books, are they close to finding one? And, from a coach’s perspective, is there even such a thing as offensive identity?One day after a 17-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, LaFleur spent more than 5 minutes answering that question. After scoring 38 points in a Week 1 rout of the Bears, the Packers rank 23rd with 18.8 points per game.
While LaFleur said his play-calls have been part of the problem at times, the crux of the matter is execution. With injuries on the offensive line, a first-year starting quarterback and a youthful receiver corps, the execution has not been good enough.“I think there’s a lot of things we can do a hell of a lot better, and I think it all starts with the detail,” LaFleur said.
LaFleur went on to reference what he calls “get-back-on-track” situations. That’s a play like second-and-10, where the goal is to make it a manageable third down. “Then you’re stuck in third-and-long,” LaFleur said, “or we had a second-and-17 yesterday where we threw an interception. We’ve just got to do a better job of trying to avoid those situations, staying on schedule. Even if it’s second-and-9, that’s a hell of a lot better than second-and-10-plus.”
