The Packers’ run game will be crucially important this season. With the receiver corps made up of just a bunch of guys, the offense will live and die with the run game and the play action game opening up based on it.
Under Matt LaFleur, the run game has better than it was under McCarthy, but still never quite as good as you’d like. Last season the team had the 8th best run game based on DVOA and 6th best based on EPA (note that they had a negative EPA), that’s good but it was with the best RB duo in the league, best QB, best WR, one of the best offensive lines as a unit, and an offense built around the run game.
