Packers run game needs more big plays and far fewer negative plays

Through four games, the Green Bay Packers are stuck with a floundering run game that is producing few big plays while also creating far too many negative plays.

Entering Week 5, the Packers rank second-to-last in the NFL in runs of at least 10 yards with just five. And here’s the important part of the equation: of the five runs over 10 yards, two were scrambles by Jordan Love, one was a trick play to cornerback Keisean Nixon and another was a garbage time run by Patrick Taylor in Week 1. The only two runs over 20 yards have been from Love scrambling.
