Why Are the Packers Switching to a Zone Blocking Scheme?

Of late, half the talk among Green Bay fans is about how Matt LaFleur is going to change the way the team’s offensive linemen block.

When Brian Gutekunst and the Pack agreed to pay free agent guard Billy Turner a king’s ransom to join the team for four years, we were told he fit what La Fleur is looking for: a smaller, quicker, and more mobile blocker.

Then, almost two months later, that conversation resumed when the Packers selected Elgton Jenkins, out of Mississippi State, in the second round of the draft.

The scouts and the pundits differ on Jenkins.
