Following Sunday night’s 40-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, in which the defense allowed an unprecedented 363 rushing yards, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur did not consider firing defensive coordinator Joe Barry.
According to LaFleur, the Packers missed over 20 tackles. However, he doesn’t think the scheme is to blame for most of those.
“It was by far our worst tackling performance that I’ve seen here,” said LaFleur.
Green Bay’s head coach then went on to say that there was a long conversation on Monday related to the scheme, including different structures they are presenting to the offense and implementing different run mechanisms to try to make it more challenging to run the football.
