When Matt LaFleur was hired as the new head coach of the

Green Bay Packers Lance Kendricks Color Rush Jersey , there was excitement yet also some trepidation concerning his offense in Tennessee this season.Now LaFleur has hired Nathaniel Hackett as his offensive coordinator and the same concerns have arisen over Hackett’s performance in Jacksonville after he was fired in November.Both LaFleur and Hackett had to deal with major injuries to their offenses: LaFleur with quarterback Marcus Mariota damaging nerves in his throwing arm and Hackett with a beat up offensive line plus being saddled with Blake Bortles at quarterback.The Packers are counting on both coaches’ experience before 2018 to carry them to success in Green Bay and it’s a good bet they can pull it off. The Jaguars’ offense actually got even worse after Hackett left plus he got an incredible amount of production out of Bortles in 2017 after Jacksonville nearly made Super Bowl LII. The path to Green Bay was also littered with a lot of mediocrity from the quarterback position with Hackett coaching players like Kyle Orton, EJ Manuel and Bortles. Not the most gifted group of guys. Hackett a hasn’t worked with a quarterback of Aaron Rodgers’ caliber. It’s like going from the outhouse to the penthouse and it will be interesting to see that relationship develop as Hackett, Rodgers and LaFleur are now joined at the hip to turn the offense around.If Rodgers wanted new ideas on offense, he’s got them.Now it’s up to Hackett (and LaFleur) to keep the quarterback on target and in line, especially if the team passes (no pun intended) on hiring a true quarterbacks coach.You can read more on the Packers’ new offensive coordinator and how the running game will be more center stage next season in today’s cheese curds.Nathaniel Hackett hire part of Matt LaFleur’s offensive process for Packers—PackersNews.comHackett won’t be calling the plays in Green Bay so his attention can be working with the quarterbacks and the offensive as a whole.

The third-year player decided not to show up for organized team activities (OTAs) this week in an effort to force a trade. The issue at hand seems to be Jones’ frustration with lack of playing time which only will get worse this season with Green Bay acquiring Adrian Amos and drafting Darnell Savage.So what will general manager Brian Gutekunst do? Well, there are a few options. Gutekunst could give in and trade Jones, but given he was a second round pick just two years ago the odds of Green Bay getting anything more than a sixth or a seventh round pick is slim to none.The Packers could also straight out release Jones but given their lack of depth at inside linebacker where Jones spent considerable time last season Bryan Bulaga Jersey , this would be an example of a team shooting themselves in the foot willingly. Not good football business.The final option is Gutekunst stands pat and Jones goes nowhere despite his protests. This could cause some issues in the locker room and Jones would forfeit a year’s salary if he just simply didn’t show up.It’s too early to tell how this will all end, but the guess here is Jones eventually shows up and tries to earn his roster spot.If not, Gutekunst might have to cut his losses and trade a player from Ted Thompson’s final draft class.There’s more on Jones plus an update on CBA negotiations in today’s cheese curds.Frustration over lack of playing time boils over for Packers safety Josh Jones—PackersNews.comThis problem could continue to fester until training camp, but given the Packers preferring to keep locker room harmony Jones’ issue could be resolved sooner than later.New offense a ‘fun challenge’ for Aaron Rodgers—Packers.comPushing Aaron Rodgers intellectually is one way Matt LaFleur can earn his quarterback’s respect and all indications from Rodgers indicate he is doing just that.
