Packers HC Matt LaFleur defends the team’s game plan after their loss to the Giants

On Monday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur met with the media for his weekly post-film review presser. In what seemed to be an unusually long press conference, LaFleur doubled down, multiple times, on his team’s game plan in their eventual loss against the New York Giants.

The first thing LaFleur mentioned that the team needed to fix was “the urgency to get lined up and ready to play,” which set the tone that he believed that execution, not scheme, was responsible for the loss. The “get lined up and ready” comment stemmed from a question regarding the Packers’ off-coverage defenses and most likely referred to the play below where cornerback Eric Stokes allowed a first down on a crossing route.
