Watched the Matt LaFleur show again last night with Larry McCarren. LaCoach offers literally no strategy for improvements. All we are hearing lately is "we need to play better complementary football" , and (paraphrased) "I have articulated to the team ..... blah blah blah. Diverting attention a bit by praising Watson's and Quay's play lately.
No one is blaming anyone .... instead they're carefully getting through the season with minimal controversy or internal drama.
C'mon man!
MLF never gives any answers because he truly doesn't know. Of course coaches never give too much info in the media, but he literally says the same thing every week and we see the same problems on the field every week (Dallas excepted). He looks like a lost puppy every time he is interviewed.
LaCoach is so opposite of Holmgren and Lombardi. Holmgren and Lombardi came in to 1265 and took over leadership responsibility from Day 1. Nothing of the sort at 1265 these days. Can't figure out who is in charge right now. I just hope we don't lose to Chicago on December 4th.
these are different times, so comparing Lafluer to two of the best coaches in franchise history who coached when it was financially easier to retain talent is like Apples to mandarin Oranges, or maybe Tangerines or possibly Banana's but it sure as hey aint apples to apples.
I'am at a loss for what people expect Lafluer to do, the guy has used every route tree, even schemes receivers open, but he can't go out on the field and run the routes or catch the passes, he can't go clear a gap for Jones or Dillon to run through, he's not going to fire coaches mid season, neither would have Lombardi or Holmgren, unless there is complete failure, which has not been the case.
I know people want to bench Rodgers, and that may happen, but thats hard to imagine, would Lombardi have benched Starr? Starr played banged up and probably worse then Zeke would have at times, obviously the same with Favre, Holmgren is on record saying I should have sat him, but if I'd have tried that, we'd have had world war 3 on the field trying to drag him off,( something to that affect) Rodgers is no different, if not of his own accord I could see Rodgers really raise hell in the media, and obviously make a strong case for getting Guty and Lafluer fired if Love fails, so I don't see either risking there jobs simply to see if Love is better, Russian Rolette aint there style, once we are mathematically eliminated I expect we'll see Love, and that will make everyone happy
I really like just about everything Lafluer has done offensively, love the run schemes, specially so last year, the motion and deception, freezing up the lbers makes it easier for OL to seal off, and the short drag routes, trailers and crossers, scheming receivers open, last years offense with 1 quality WR and two quality RB's was a potent match for any defense.
was a big mistake imho to fire Pettine and hire Barry, then the loss and replacement of Hackett and Getsy with Stenavich and Clements seem to hinder more then help, the better the assistants, the better the teaching, probably more consistency, basically what looks to be missing this year.
