LeFleur's Offense · PACKERSHOME

I've been thinking about the offensive system that LeFleur and his staff will implement, and I can't help but believe we will see more two back sets. Looking at his background he likes to utilize a RB, if not both, as an extra receiver(s). Add more zone blocking with a guy like Jones, and I really think we will see more options in the passing game from the running backs.

A solid first contribution for a rookie. Welcome to the boards! How do you feel about the hiring of LeFleur overall?

Regarding the RB's Derrick Henry and Corey Davis both consistently improved under LeFluer. When things got bad for Tennessee those guys showed up and put up stats. This is a big area I will be looking for improvement in from the Packers.

That said, we can legitimately spend a high pick on the RB position now, because we have a coach that will actually use that player.

Please don't be surprised if the members don't always agree or get along civilly, it happens. For the most part I believe you'll find, as I have, that posters just want to express their views and not rip into others for their views. I will say that you'll be challenged if your facts are wrong or for personal attacks (which rarely ever occur). I like to learn from members post and sometimes I too can add to the collective level of uplifting facts.

I don't fully understand the new offensive system that LaFleur will be bringing to the Packers. How is it different from other offenses like the "West Coast" or others. Does it have a name/label yet? How will this system mesh with GB's veteran personal? Will it require starting personal changes to implement it? What is the philosophy of this new offensive system?

If nothing else, I look forward to learning about all this and more moving forward. I hope that you and others will educate the rest of us.

I think we should use a fake name for the offense so the opposing defense doesn't know what we are doing.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

If I read the stat right James White tied a playoff record with 15 receptions in the Patriots win yesterday. Alvin Kamara is often used more as a pass catcher than a runner. I'm not saying Jones needs 20 carries a game but he should be getting 20 touches at least. This is Aaron Rodgers' team and Aaron has been one of the best QBs to ever play the game. To suggest that they convert to a run first offense is silly with a man like that taking snaps. However, to not utilize every weapon and every opportunity for him to make his passes passes is equally silly.

Of course LaFleur will have to convince Rodgers to buy into it.

Just kidding one that, I'm not advocating going after Bell.

As far as drafting A RB high I am always for that if, like you said, we have an offensive game plan that will use them to the best of their abilities. I'm not sure what the draft is like for RBs but I doubt they would go for one in rounds 1 or 2 unless LaFleur simply doesn't like Jones but I'm not sure why he wouldn't.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
