In 2024, the Green Bay Packers’ defense will undoubtedly look different. There will undoubtedly be adjustments with a new defensive coordinator, defensive passing game coordinator, and defensive line coach. Kenny Clark, a defensive lineman, will undoubtedly remain the focal point of the defense, though.
On the Packers, Clark has emerged as a leader and a player whom many admire. But it’s obvious that Clark admires this coaching staff. In particular, Matt LaFleur.
Pro bowl defensive lineman Kenny Clark and Matt Ramage had a conversation about the Packers. About head coach Matt LaFleur, he stated something quite eye-opening: “Since Matt LaFleur came to Green Bay, he made them a closer team,” remarked Kenny Clark. Barely had LaFleur moved into his Wisconsin house five years prior when rumors started to circulate about how well he would get along with Rodgers. How will “the audible thing” function? Who is the true perpetrator of the offense?
His first season on the field screamed volumes, even though he answered that question during the whole offseason. Apart from achieving a 13-3 record at the end, Green Bay also earned a spot in the NFC Championship.
LaFleur might have believed that having experienced one season would help him in his second, allowing him to concentrate solely on the game and enjoy a typical offseason and season. Things were looking up in Green Bay because he and Rodgers were a good combination.
About a month prior to the NFL Draft, the COVID-19 epidemic struck, drastically altering the landscape. After the Super Bowl, how would the league manage its first major event? Would a regular season even exist? Though it’s strange to consider the questions now, they were valid four years ago.
