The Packers’ offense of course changed significantly from 2018 to 2019. Mike McCarthy’s firing and the move to the Matt LaFleur offense was a main driver, but so was the loss of Randall Cobb, who was a consistent presence as a slot receiver in the eight seasons prior to LaFleur’s arrival. With Cobb leaving, a significant void arose on the inside. Combined with the new scheme, the Packers’ slot receiver usage looked fairly different in 2019 compared to years before.
Overall, the Packers used three or more wide receivers personnel on 62 percent of their snaps in 2019, or approximately 684 plays.
