We’re now approximately 15 hours into the Green Bay Packers’ Matt LaFleur era, and as we learn more about the team’s new head coach, there seems to be more and more to like with each revelation.
For example, not only has LaFleur helped preside over good rushing attacks, but he also has maximized his running backs’ receiving contributions. His wide zone scheme seems to fit perfectly with a mobile quarterback who can move the pocket (hello, Aaron Rodgers). He actually uses creative motions and route concepts to scheme receivers open rather than simply relying on them to beat their defenders one-on-one.
