clear a new regime is in charge"Meet the new boss. He’s not the same as the old boss.Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur introduced his coaching staff to the media today and one thing became very clear after the press conference concluded: this isn’t the Mike McCarthy regime.LaFleur Womens Lance Kendricks Jersey , new offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, returning defensive coordinator Mike Pettine and new special teams coordinator Shawn Mennenga all spoke during the press conference and the energy coming from the podium was palpable. It’s quite a stark contrast from the monotonous pressers McCarthy held.What should excite Packers fans the most is that most of the energy, with all due respect to Pettine and Mennenga, came from the coaches on the offensive side of the ball.LaFleur, in response to a question about the advantages of having such a young staff, said they’d “bring energy every day” and he also spoke of “juice” and “enthusiasm” when talking about special teams.LaFleur also mentioned that having “three quarterback guys” in himself, Hackett and new quarterbacks coach Luke Getsy will allow them to “hit (Aaron Rodgers) from all angles” which certainly makes it seem like the rookie coach is confident he and his staff can adequately challenge the veteran quarterback.Another thing that should be music to both fans’ and Rodgers’ ears is that LaFleur seems fully committed to running the football. LaFleur specifically mentioned the hiring of tight ends coach Justin Outten, who was a high school coach as late as 2015, as a decision he made to get the run game going.Once LaFleur wrapped up, it was the coordinator’s time at the podium and Hackett’s entire press conference just oozed energy and excitement. The new offensive coordinator spoke of how “unbelievable” it was to be a Green Bay Packer and his passion just shone through. That energy should reinvigorate an offense that went stale the past few seasons.As far as football itself, Hackett said a lot of the concepts Rodgers is familiar with will stay the same, but “emphases” as well as “language” will differ. This means Rodgers won’t have to learn an entire new offense per se but things are being shuffled sufficiently enough to keep him on his toes.On the defensive side of the ball Womens Jason Spriggs Jersey , Pettine said it was an “easy decision” to stay in Green Bay once LaFleur was hired. The most notable thing Pettine said was the decision not to retain secondary coach/passing game coordinator Joe Whitt came from LaFleur, and not Pettine himself.Pettine added that with 2019 being year two of his defense, he’s looking for his players to make a “big leap” and move on to “the graduate level stuff” since the team spent a lot of time moving players in and out due to injuries that piled up. He also joked that he’ll be a good resource for LaFleur on what NOT to do as head coach thanks to his tenure with the Cleveland Browns.Finally, Mennenga mentioned he is aware of history of special teams incompetence in Green Bay and that “it’s an ongoing process. Nothing gets fixed overnight.”To improve the performance of the special teams, especially in eliminating the backbreaking penalties that were a speciality of the 2018 squad, he said he’d “beat the players over the head with the rules.”Mennenga also mentioned he appreciated the opportunity from LaFleur to bring on more assistants to finally right the ship on special teams.There will be plenty more to come from the staff as the off-season progresses, but if you wanted something completely different from the McCarthy regimes you have that in this staff despite Pettine being retained.Of course, actions on the field in speak louder than words during a February press conference so until the team actually assembled and gets on the field, this is all we have to go on for now.As free agency approaches, the cooks are now in the kitchen. Now is the time for general manager Brian Gutekunst to get them some quality ingredients and see if they can cook up a gourmet meal. GREEN BAY, Wis. 鈥?New聽Packers聽coach Matt LaFleur had a long to-do list even before his players arrived for the start of offseason workouts this week.Packers CoverageGreen Bay Packers 2019 NFL draft capsulesPackers close out 2019 draft, select LB Summers in seventh roundPackers add CB Hollman http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-jimmy-graham-jersey , RB Williams in sixth roundPackers address defense in fifth round, select DL Kingsley KekePackers use third-round pick to select TE Jace SternbergerPackers draft versatile OL Elgton Jenkins in second roundPotential Packers Day 2 picks in 2019 NFL draftTop Tweets: New Packers LB Gary emotional after NFL dream realizedPackers trade up, draft safety Darnell Savage at No. 21 overallPackers select Rashan Gary with 12th overall pick in 2019 NFL draftThe drama that started in Green Bay with the December firing of coach Mike McCarthy has bubbled into the spring, with McCarthy ripping the front office for how it handled his dismissal, and star quarterback聽Aaron Rodgers聽defending himself after coming under fire over his performance and leadership.Enveloped by controversies that predated his arrival in January, LaFleur faces the challenge of turning around a franchise that reached the playoffs eight consecutive seasons 鈥?including one Super Bowl victory and two more appearances in conference championship games 鈥?before having back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since the early 1990s.It’s going to take more than a fresh coat of paint down the hallway that leads from the locker room to the field and reassigned seats in the team meeting room to get the Packers back into championship contention.“We had a standard here of going to the playoffs every single year,” Rodgers said Wednesday. “We did that eight years in a row and we were competitive and in the mix, and then the last couple of years, obviously, have been frustrating to finish.“I think we’re in a good spot. I think there isn’t a grace period. This isn’t like other transitions where you maybe give a pass for the first year or two as you get acclimated to the system. We have a veteran quarterback, veteran offensive linemen, we signed some big free agents. There’s an expectation living and playing here that you’re going to compete for championships Blake Martinez Jersey White , and I think we all expect to do that.”Rodgers and LaFleur will be at the center of reaching those expectations. Rodgers, 35, played through a serious knee injury to start all 16 games last season, but endured one of his worst years of his career. LaFleur, 39, will be tasked with getting Rodgers back to his two-time MVP form and changing the culture of a team that had hit hard times during the final two seasons of McCarthy’s 13-year tenure.After running McCarthy’s offense throughout his first 11 seasons as starting quarterback, Rodgers is getting his first taste of what LaFleur wants to do. At the scouting combine in February, LaFleur said offensive success required a “partnership” between himself and Rodgers.“Matt’s whole idea,” said Rodgers’ No. 1 target, receiver聽Davante Adams, “he’s really open and receptive to how Aaron and I want to attack this season and how we feel moving forward, bringing certain things from the past that we liked Tramon Williams Jersey White , and just having an open mind, which is a great thing when you’re coming in trying to get a team to buy in.”A new coach and new playbook aren’t the only big changes. Two longtime stalwarts, receiver Randall Cobb and linebacker Clay Matthews, departed in free agency. Meanwhile, they added outside linebackers Za’Darius Smith and聽Preston Smith, safety聽Adrian Amos聽and offensive lineman聽Billy Turner聽in free agency. A pair of first-round picks will infuse more talent.“Change, it can be really good if you embrace it,” Rodgers said.Echoing what LaFleur has said, Rodgers added the play caller/quarterback relationship will be critical to reversing the team’s fortunes. Rodgers talked to one of LaFleur’s former pupils, a Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, to get a gauge on his new boss.Impressed by what he heard, and with his injured knee healed DeShone Kizer Jersey White , Rodgers was eager to get to Green Bay to start fostering that relationship and to shake off the sting of last season’s 6-9-1 debacle.“Having that much time off was different,” said Rodgers, who had grown accustomed to playing into January.“I know many of us were itching to get back here and get started. Anytime you’ve gone through a stretch like we went through where everything was very similar 鈥?similar faces, there might be some changes, similar plays, similar environment you’re working in 鈥?you get used to that and accustomed that.“When things change, it kind of jogs the system a little bit. It’s exciting, though, to see the energy and the excitement. It’s usually like this the first week, but I feel good about the potential to sustain this type of energy as we move into it later this month and get into the minicamp. And then obviously we have a number of high picks, so there should be a lot of excitement with our fan base. There is definitely in the locker room. It’s been a good start to the change.”
