Matt LaFleur: Packers ‘potentially’ looking at options at guard
Following a rough 39-22 opening-week defeat against the Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur indicated the organization might evaluate changes along the interior offensive front. Green Bay built an initial 22-10 advantage before completely unraveling, yielding 29 consecutive points to drop the contest.
The collapse highlighted significant protection breakdowns as Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores attacked quarterback Jordan Love with blitzes on 78.3 percent of dropbacks.
Interior protection drew heavy scrutiny after Green Bay opened the matchup with Donovan Jennings at left guard and Jacob Monk at right guard. While defending his tactical choices and personnel selections in the aftermath of the game, LaFleur acknowledged that the coaching staff could explore alternative solutions at the guard spots to stabilize the pocket going forward.
