Albert Breer’s Notes: Packers Appreciate What They Have in Matt LaFleur
Key Points:
- Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur, despite recent criticism, maintains strong support from players and has a solid track record with a 79-42-1 record; quarterback Jordan Love praised LaFleur's adaptability and leadership following a dominant win over the Bears.
- Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay expressed frustration after a special teams error, highlighting ongoing issues despite offseason changes aimed at improving that unit, including new coaching hires and player signings.
- New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is gaining confidence from players and analysts alike, with the team showing competitive form at 2-3 and poised for important upcoming games against the Patriots and Dolphins.
- Denver Broncos have shifted to a more balanced run-pass offensive approach under new play-caller Sean Payton, emphasizing the running game more heavily than earlier in the season, which aided in clock management during a recent win.
- Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans both made key adjustments: Jaguars demonstrated depth on the offensive line to cover injuries, while Texans saw defensive improvement after a midseason coordinator change, leading to a strong performance against Tennessee.
- The Philadelphia Eagles continue to benefit from the development of their 2025 rookie class, particularly on the offensive line, a legacy attributed to former line coach Jeff Stoutland's coaching influence.
