GREEN BAY — Matt LaFleur didn’t even want to think about it.
“Why are you always trying to stir stuff up?” the Green Bay Packers coach responded with a chuckle when asked the question during his Zoom video call with reporters Sunday morning.
Make no mistake, LaFleur knows full well just how close the Packers came to not having Allen Lazard on their team last year — or this year, when LaFleur, the team’s second-year coach, plans to have Lazard take on a significant role in his offense.
And after an offseason in which the team failed to add any meaningful help at the receiver position, Lazard insists he’s ready for that bigger role.
