A disciple of Mike Shanahan, Head Coach Matt LaFleur has emphasized the importance of receiver blocking everywhere he’s coached. That core belief has meshed perfectly with Packers receiver coach Alvis Whitted.
Lazard said the receivers’ motivation to perform well in that aspect of the game is...
(on being part of any other individual performance like Z. Smith’s)
Certainly not off the top of my head. That was obviously pretty special. That’s just a tribute to him. He prepared well. We had a good plan for him and played well around him. Guys freed him up in certain circumstances and he...

Do you see Rashan Gary getting more snaps in Sunday's game?
The Packers obviously want Za’Darius and Preston Smith on the field as much as possible, especially once the playoffs begin. Depending on how the first half goes against Detroit, however, this could be an...

I respectfully submit “Horn in the first quarter, taillights in the fourth” for II one-liner of the year. Bravo Wes!
A popular reader sentiment, and he delivered it on Christmas no less. Every once in a while as a writer you read a line you wish you’d come up with...
GREEN BAY – Without top running backs Dalvin Cook or Alexander Mattison, the Minnesota Vikings were going to have to rely heavily on receivers Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen to carry the offense on Monday night.
Last year, that dynamic pass-catching duo certainly did that against the Packers...
At the start of the last game, it felt like we were falling back into a slow start that we had seen in LA and San Francisco (Which we never overcame). Is this last game a sign that this Packers team has improved mentally and is able to play from behind (as far as momentum is concerned)?
I...

ML – Coach of the year...by a long shot. EJ – Rookie offensive player of the year. AJ – All-Pro (should be in the Pro Bowl). ZS – Defensive player of the year (should be in the Pro Bowl). MC – Best kicker of the year award. Undrafted rookies/players of the year award...AL...
GREEN BAY – Matt LaFleur’s mantra of “hitting the reset button” could be a bit more challenging this week with the Packers coming off their biggest win of the season to date and with an upcoming opponent on an eight-game losing streak.
Then again, the NFC North-champion Packers still have so...
“It can be a big factor,” cornerback Tramon Williams said. “There are a lot of good teams in the NFC. This NFC is stacked tight. Home-field advantage could be a key. So hopefully we can continue winning and add more games at Lambeau.”
Lucky No. 13: Davante Adams made some history Monday night...
RB Aaron Jones plowed straight ahead for a single yard before QB Aaron Rodgers hit WR Davante Adams for an 18-yard gain over the middle, Adams’ career-high-tying 13th reception of the night, putting him over 100 yards (116).
Then it was Jones’ turn to go over 100, as he ran to the left, got to...

Just a comment...and it's not one I make lightly: Za'Darius Smith reminded me of Lawrence Taylor. If the Smith Brothers continue to play as they did tonight, the Packers will make a serious run in the playoffs.
LT is a bold call. I’ll say this: I think a...
Jones rushed for 154 yards on 23 carries in the Packers' 23-10 victory over the Vikings to clinch the NFC North title on Monday night. He had two TD runs in the second half, from 12 and 56 yards, the latter sealing the game with just under six minutes left.
Jones is now only 16 yards shy of...
‘Your word is your bond’
Iowa isn’t exactly known as a hotbed for elite Division I talent. So when Lazard began to shine in sports, he “stuck out like a sore thumb” in the Des Moines metro area.
By his sophomore year at Urbandale, Lazard had narrowed his focus down to football and...
2. Turnover tendencies: The Vikings’ defense ranks fourth in the league in total takeaways this season with 27, and the unit is coming off a seven-turnover effort against the Chargers last week. The Packers rank seventh with 23 takeaways, and LB Preston Smith and CB Kevin King have two of...
