If you’re looking for differences between Matt LaFleur’s and Mike McCarthy’s offenses, look no further than weeks five through eight from last season. The Green Bay Packers did not have their star receiver Davante Adams during that stretch but still managed to win all four games. How is that possible without such a prominent player? Perhaps LaFleur can do more with less.
McCarthy’s system did not have the same luck when Jordy Nelson was lost for the year in 2015. Despite their 10-6 record that season, the Packers weren’t the same team, especially on offense. While the run game remained relatively average, Aaron Rodgers’ numbers dropped to some of the lowest totals of his career.
