Matt LaFleur and his coaches will have tough calls to make about playing time on offense, but for the reason you’d hope: too many good options.
Now that the Green Bay Packers finally have Elgton Jenkins back on the field and their full complement of offensive linemen available, it’s time for the position battles to begin in earnest. With second-year pro Jordan Morgan finally able to compete for a starting job at two different positions, it should make the rest of this training camp a fun one for OL coach Luke Butkus and the rest of the offensive coaching staff.
The Packers have preached putting their “best five” on the field for years, and this year will surely be no different. The question will be whether Morgan is one of those five.
Wide receiver is a different story in terms of playing time, as the Packers rotate receivers through the offense in different personnel packages and plays. But like on the offensive line, the Packers have a lot of players who should be able to contribute this season, and getting them all snaps — and targets — is no easy task.
Head coach Matt LaFleur has a plan, though. You’ll be shocked to learn what it is. Read on and find out!
