Under the new regime, the Pack went after Billy Turner and drafted Elgton Jenkins....Two big, physical interior lineman. I believe the intent here is to place an emphasis on running the ball and relying less on finesse and more on physicality. I think I like that.
That doesn't mean they're taking the ball out of Rodgers hands, however, it just means they're giving him a legitimate run option. In the Vikings game in week two Aaron Jones had twenty-something carries - Something the previous regime never let happen. Jones runs were mostly efficient and productive against a defense that had a reputation for being stout run-stoppers. Jamal Williams provided a nice change-of-pace dynamic as well.
It's early, and the new offense is a work in progress, but I like where this is headed: The days of our quarterback having to carry the team on his back becoming a thing pf the past. Rodgers will still have his moments, but perhaps he will not have to have them every week in order for his team to have a chance. I believe this is the way to go.
