Packers Coach Matt LaFleur on Aaron Rodgers’s Ask: ‘I Don’t Know What that Means’

Aaron Rodgers has a novel idea.

It doesn’t seem that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and head coach Matt LaFleur are on the same page following a tough loss.  After Sunday’s 27-10 blowout at the hands of the New York Jets,  Aaron Rodgers was asked what the struggling Packers offense needs to get better. Rodgers’ answer? Simplify everything.

LaFleur didn’t appear to agree when he was asked about Rodgers wanting to simplify the offense on Monday.

“I don’t know what that means. We talked about it. Any time there’s a lack of execution… to me, it’s about digging at the details of what we’re doing. Because I think you could see that, and it falls on everybody. Certainly, again it always starts with us as coaches, trying to do a better job of getting guys to understand all the little intricacies, because I think that’s really what separates a lot of plays in this league. It really doesn’t matter what we do schematically. If we don’t block better, it’s hard to do anything. And I think that was really the No. 1 issue yesterday.”

While we really don’t know exactly what  Rodgers was really saying, but it sounds like that the Packers offense is not talented enough to execute LaFleur’s offense. Rodgers believes he’s played a relatively small role in the offensive struggles though. He said on Sunday that he needed to raise his level just a “tick” for Green Bay to win the last few games.

The Green Bay Packers, 3-3, face the 2-4 Commanders to see if Rodgers can turn it on like he used to.
