The bigger point is how much the Packers will really run under LaFleur, and I believe it will be more than some might expect. No big thing.We simply have needed a fully balanced attack with run & pass for years, and that never, never, never happened. Aaron Rodgers has stated that he likes to be coached. I think LaFleur will guide him through the remainder of this career in GB by protecting him with an insistence on a healthy dose of running plays.Makes perfect sense. Keeps opposing front 7s playing honest, rather than pinning their ears back full on in pass rush. More rushes will open up play action, something that really didn't work for Rodgers under McCarthy.... gee, I wonder why? Now, I think we will see the impact of a blocking TE keeping Mercedes Lewis around, and Jace should learn a lot from him this season.Sternberger and the rest of the TEs will benefit greatly with a heightened emphasis on the run, releasing as receivers off the line on run fakes. There is no "fake" if you never run. I think LaFleur's scheme and leadership in this area will pay big dividends. LaFleur gets it.</blockquote>
