Who can provide a spark to the offense?

Hey everybody, thanks for logging on. I see questions already coming in so I’ll just get started. Hope all is well.

Did Wes have any funny “goofups” doing the press box in Detroit by himself? At least that you know about? 🙂

Wes handled everything just fine, as I knew he would. He doesn’t need me there, that’s for sure. It was strange not being together for the game, though, I’ll say that.

Mike, in Inbox you asked us to stop bringing up Aaron Rodgers petulance after a negative play, saying you want him to be genuine. But this is behavior is somewhat new, and I don’t think it helps the younger players. Is this something LaFleur can address with him or do you think Lafleur is afraid of ruffling Rodger’s feathers?

I don’t think it’s that new. He’s been more demonstrative during the struggles, but people have questioned his demeanor and gestures on the field for years. It doesn’t look all that different to me, just more emotional than in the past. Call me a fan of professional athletes being themselves, not something fake, I guess.

Good morning, Mike! Instead of just beat the Cowboys, how can this team just not beat themselves this week?

Good plan. Looking back at the streak, it’s easy to forget the Packers were up 17-3 against the Giants, 14-3 against the Commanders, and had two goal-to-go situations in Detroit in a 0-0 game and came away with nothing. They have put themselves in position for wins and then just given the games away.

Kenny Clark, Jarran Reed, and Dean Lowry are the established three. Thanks to WYMM, along with a couple games prior, it does seem like T.J. Slaton is taking a big step forward and Devonte Wyatt is growing a lot through his first season. I understand you want to do the main three, but could GB take more of a sub approach that BUF does? Could fresher up front help with Rashan Gary being unavailable?

You’re talking about two different position groups there — DL and OLB. On the DL, Slaton has definitely progressed, and Wyatt is starting to show flashes and earn more snaps. I’ve been impressed with Reed. All three of the main guys absorb double teams at different times, which has to be exhausting, so having a rotation is necessary. As for Gary’s injury, Kingsley Enagbare and Jonathan Garvin are the main guys who will have to pick up the slack.

Which injury is most critical at this point?

I think it’s Gary’s. OLB is the position, as I said all offseason and through training camp, where the Packers have the least amount of proven depth. His…
