GREEN BAY, Wis. Social media has not been a warm and fuzzy place toward coach Matt LaFleur following their stunning collapse to the New York Giants in London.Not that LaFleur would know. He was studying film, not his Twitter mentions.I had a buddy text me last night, obviously long flight home, LaFleur said on Monday. He said something about, Hey, dont worry about what anybodys saying. I was like, Well, Im not worried about it because I havent looked.Good thing. Aggravated Packers fans, exhausted after watching a decade-plus of big-game failures, and the Twitter know-it-alls, have been out in full force following a 27-22 lo s to the Giants. Not that their angst is misplaced. Quite the opposite. The Packers led 17-3 in the second quarter and 20-10 at halftime before being dominated by a team that had seven starters on its inactives list, including its top receivers and best defensive lineman. It was an inexcusable performance. to not give the ball more to Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. to give up 27 points in five series.During the opening question about the state of the teams underperforming defense, LaFleur interjected.We should have played better as an entire team. It wasnt just one phase, he said. It was offensively, it was defensively. There were moments that looked really good to start Lawrence Taylor Jersey the game. Two three-and-outs. I thought our guys were playing well early. Third series they got a field goal and, after that, it kind of unraveled.LaFleur, who was a bit prickly in his media se sions leading up to the trip to England, delivered a series of calm and reasoned answers to questions about the teams list of problems. Agree or disagree with the logic behind his decisions, it was interesting insight into his thinking at the moment. Here are seven of his answers.DefenseAre bold changes needed on defense to fix a unit that routinely plays soft and has been beaten repeatedly by cro sing routes?Theres a lot we need to clean up. No. 1 is, I just think the urgency to get lined up and get ready to play. Just going back and watching the tape, there were moments when we got other cro sing routes that we were all over, that we were glovey. And then theres times when were just a little bit off and guys are moving around and not in the best position pre-snap, and we have a hard time taking those cro sing routes and we get beat. Theres another time were in quarters coverage and, if we don’t have our eyes in the right place, the safetys got to cut the cro ser and the corner falls off in case they try and throw a shot down the field. So, were just a Daniel Jones Jersey little late with that and if youre a little late with that, youre going to get beat and youre going to give up big, explosive plays, and we all know that explosive plays lead to points. So, I would say the overall consistency at which we play has got to be much improved. We have to have better focus down in and down out and making sure you truly have to take it one play at a time. When we do that, we look pretty good. When we dont, we look like we did yesterday and we get beat.Does the defense need to play with more of a killer attitude?Theres and minuses with that. When you do that and, especially, they were in a lot of reduced splits, and youre also mindful of stopping the run. So, when those wideouts are in tighter alignments and youre playing single-high or even if youre in quarters or NFL New York Giants Jersey whatever, and they go to crack a safety, well now that corners in a much worse spot to crack-replace to be there for the running back. So, everythings a little bit of a balance and youre trying to predict what a team is going to do to you. We thought that they were going to come out and lean heavily on the run. Outside of the one wildcat play, I thought we did a pretty darned good job at nullifying the run as best you can against a premier back like Saquon Barkley. So, yes and no. I think situationally could you do that? Absolutely. But if you live in that world, its going to open up another set of problems potentially. So, youve got to counteract that and try to best gue s what a team, how theyre going to attack you on each play.Does defensive coordinator Joe Barry need to do more to get a talented defense playing to expectations?I think absolutely. I think we all have to do more. I have to demand more. I think Blake Martinez Jersey weve got to coach things better. I think weve got to have better urgency. Quite frankly, we need every guy doing their job on every single play. Because there was a lot of just one-offs here and there and thats what led to that second half where you give up long drives.OffenseWhy three consecutive pa ses during the three-and-out in the fourth quarter?Yeah, anytime it doesnt work out, you always want to second-gue s, then all right, what should we have done? In hindsight, heres the deal, first-and-10, you get single-high, you call a play to attack the single-high. Was there an illegal contact on that play? I dont know. Allen (Lazard) did get bumped into but, it is what it is, so its second-and-10. Second down, we called a run-pa s option, or a can play, where if they wanted to load the box up and dare us to throw the football, which they did quite a bit, then were going to take that opportunity. We felt like we had a premier play and, unfortunately, it didnt work out, and now youre sitting in third-and-10. And I understand that, going into it, youre going to have to stand up here today and answer for that, and Im perfectly fine with that, as long as our proce s and our thought proce s is in the right spot. Unfortunately, from a results standpoint, it didnt work out. Scroll to ContinueThat was the same play that we hit Romeo Doubs on earlier in the game for 20-whatever yard. This time, we had Cobby on the through route. It was one-on-one. So thats a play that we ran on third-and-1 in overtime versus New England and we got a key completion. So, its OK when it works out and its not OK when it doesnt. Thats just the nature of our game.Does LaFleur need to show more trust in the running game considering it was moving the ball against the Giants stacked boxes?We did have production . We did. There was a lot of them in there. Just going into the game, controlling the line of scrimmage was going to be pivotal. I thought we did have some vs. loaded boxes where we got some really good push up front and we were getting like 5 yards a carry. So, yeah, after looking back at it, its definitely a fine line. We had a lot of runs called where we were throwing those run solutions. And the thing is Julian Love Jersey , its kind of a double-edged sword because the run solutions were being pretty effective. Its just that it does limit you in regard to now youre not getting two of you
