What I think has been missing from much of this narrative is the fact that Aaron Rodgers has missed more throws than I’ve seen in quite some time , way off on some , the guys were open , he missed them
Packers call plays like we have the 2011-2014 WR corps. We don't. We have the 2022 RB tandem though. And they're awesome. Run them. Open up the play-action. Dial down the passing, dial up the running. And let's score more points. Aaaron isn't paid by the # of pass attempts, fellas.
Nobody barely runs anymore. Dump-offs, WR screens are the new running games… Isn't Rodgers calling his own plays? He's the one opting out of the run, maybe
Load management is fine, epsecially when you have two really good HB, so long as it isn't losing you games. If the Packers ran the ball in the redzone on that last drive, they win. Saving Jones for the playoffs backfires hard if you miss the playoffs.
I have Barkley, McCaffery and Jones as my fantasy RBs. This deal with Jones splitting time is crap, but with GB not even giving the backs a chance, it’s a waste! I’m glad they lost .. is like Seattle in the Super Bowl a few years ago. BTW, that’s still fun to go back and watch. Not a Pats fan by any stretch, but can’t stand Pete Carroll!
Isn't this something he could have talked to Aaron Rogers about? Hate when shows have a player on a as regular but afraid to actually ask him stuff, but will just be his fluffer.
It's infuriating as a Packer fan. The Packers are very obviously a running team but somehow they are the only team in the league that isn't aware of that fact.
Aaron Jones had 21 td's in 2019 and then they drafted AJ Dillon and Jones production has went down. And the difference has not been made up by AJ. Jamaal Williams added another 7 TDS to that.
As a fan we go through this every week and it's mind boggling. Jonsey is electric and doesn't get enough carries and every week we see Lafluer say he needs to get more carries and it just doesn't happen. It's so frustrating. If GB would play to their strength as a team, they are a top team. When they let rodgers just throw hero balls all game, they are a mediocre middle of the pack team at best
AJ's books never move- teach that man to read! Maybe book club Aaron or maybe Pat McAfee himself can teach AJ how to read- maybe they can start with some picture books, or maybe some Dr. Seuss. It's never too late to learn. Maybe when Aaron visits each week he can do a little story time for AJ and read to him.
When has a team wasted it's running talents more in NFL history? Maybe never. Play both backs most of the time- run with them, pass to them, and pass some to the receivers- but they need to run a lot more if they're going to contend. If LeFleur wants more ideas, hopefully he'll respond to this comment.
How many times, like does ty use the word like to like describe in the middle like a change of direction in like how he is talking and like its fascinating
One of the things to notice, there are quite a few times where a possible run play is called, and Rodgers calls an audible. I'm not sure if he's switching from a run to a pass, but he does audible A LOT
Jones is so much better than Dillon and it’s not even close… as a Vikings fan I love that they are throwing games by not using him… as a jones fantasy owner I’m pretty mad that they are saving him for the playoffs they won’t even make 😂
Maybe it's all about building trust and confidence in the young WRs. Everbody knows what we have in the backfield. Get the young guys on track….then involve Showtime & Quadzilla. A lot easier than running it over and over and involving the young WRs late in the season.
The packs most successful plays are when both Jones and Dillion are in the backfield. One runs a check down and the other runs the ball if it isn’t a pass. They also run a pitch where one RB acts as a FB. They always do well when they run that personnel specifically
1985 Chicago Bears. Walter Peyton.. BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM!!! Did NOT score a TD in the Super Bowl. Just the way the game played out. 7 TDs all together I believe? not a single one to the legend. and they KILLED the Pats. it's Football guys, you call plays that the defense allows you to call. I've seen great guys not get a single touch one game and get 25 -30 touches the next.
i've been watching aaron jones for a while here is the deal.. he's injury-prone. he cant take a bigger work load until late in season. we needed him in the playoffs..

Short answer yes
D’Andre Swift has a higher average with half the carries and only 100 less yards 😂 its a bs stat
Rodgers audibles out of the run too much

no reason why the packers don’t use those two like chubb and hunt

You cowards , you know it's 12 not going with the run because he's all hero ball. Why didn't you ask him? Oh I know why….

Rodgers can't get an MVP if they run more soooooo he rather the personal stats, which is OK but yeah not gonna get a ring.
Also 10th in rush attempts…that's like top 10 in rush attempts…that's not bad.

Doesn't Aaron Rodger call the plays on the 2MIN offense? So those stupid decision at the end of the game were his fault???

You have the two legitimate three down backs. USE THEM!

Because AR wants his pass stats. I noticed from playing fantasy football. They would often be inside the 5 and let AR pass 3-4x in a row

The packers are Undefeated when Jones and Dillion have 30+ touches. The packers have the lean on the run game if they want to win.

People hype AJ Dillon too much. I mean. he is good but Jones us on another level. They shouldn't be rotated 1 for 1
i think they have a great running game but aaron jones wouldn’t be #1 ypg if he had more carries obviously

Please run this man 20 times a game and give him 5 targets
The reason Jones had such good yards per carry, is because 12 checks out of bad runs, or adjusts the play to give them a better lane
i've been watching aaron jones for a while here is the deal.. he's injury-prone. he cant take a bigger work load until late in season. we needed him in the playoffs..
Whoah
The Packer are not that good.
I wonder if it's a longevity thing. Using and not abusing. Making sure that they can get the most out of him for years.
dumb coaches
As an official owner of the packers, I agree we under using our RBs
Because there's only one ball and ARog doesn't share with running backs.
They let Rodgers be the qb and offensive coordinator he worried about stats instead of winning 😒😒😒
Congratulations you just won a prize 🎉🎊
