The Green Bay Packers are hitting reset… but should they be?
In this episode of Jen, Gabe & Chewy, the crew reacts to Matt LaFleur’s surprising comments at NFL league meetings, where he said the Packers offense needs to:
👉 “Strip everything down and start like it’s Year One again”
🧠 WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN?
Is this:
A necessary reset for a young offense?
Or a major red flag about coaching and development?
Chewy doesn’t hold back:
“If you have to strip it down after eight years… that’s a failure of coaches.”
🚨 THE BIG ISSUE: PLAYERS NOT ON THE SAME PAGE
The discussion centers around a core problem:
Players missing assignments
Offensive breakdowns caused by ONE mistake
Confusion across:
Offensive line
Wide receivers
Roles and responsibilities
👉 “One guy messes up… the whole play blows up.”
🏈 JORDAN LOVE QUESTION
This is supposed to be the year Jordan Love takes the next step.
So why are the Packers:
Simplifying the offense?
Pulling things BACK instead of expanding?
That contradiction is the heart of this episode.
⚠️ IS THIS ON PLAYERS… OR COACHING?
The debate gets real:
Argument 1:
Young team → simplify → rebuild foundation
Argument 2 (Chewy):
If players don’t know the system by now…
👉 “That’s on coaching.”
🔄 OFFENSIVE LINE CHAOS
The episode highlights a HUGE issue:
Constant position shuffling
Guards playing tackle
Tackles playing guard
Centers with little experience
👉 “You had guys playing positions they’ve never played before”
📉 ROLE CLARITY PROBLEM
Another key takeaway:
Players didn’t fully understand their roles
Coaches may not have defined them clearly
Leads to freelancing, confusion, and breakdowns
🧩 WHAT SHOULD THE PACKERS BE DOING?
Instead of resetting, the expectation was:
Build on previous years
Expand the offense
Let Jordan Love take control
But instead…
👉 They’re going BACKWARD before going forward
🎯 CORE QUESTION
Is this:
Smart coaching adjustment?
OR
Proof the Packers offense isn’t developing correctly?
