The Green Bay Packers are coming off a huge victory. One that may have even saved their season. The Packers won an overtime thriller vs the Dallas Cowboys 31-28. More news broke the next day that was fairly surprising. The Packers have made a mid-season change to their coaching staff. Longtime assistant coach Aubrey Pleasant reportedly joined the coaching staff last week.

A couple of weeks ago, the Lions fired their defensive pass game coordinator/defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant. When the Packers found out about this, they made a call.
The Packers have brought on longtime NFL assistant coach Aubrey Pleasant, per sources.
He joined the Packers last week, shortly after he was fired as defensive coach of the Lions. He previously worked with Packers coach Matt LaFleur in Washington and with the Rams.

Rob Demovsky went on to say:
Though Pleasant has been a defensive coach in the league, he’s working with head coach Matt LaFleur on the offensive side to provide a defensive perspective. Pleasant and LaFleur previously worked together on Washington’s staff under Mike Shanahan and with the Rams in 2017 under Sean McVay.
In 2016, Pleasant was hired by the Los Angeles Rams as their cornerbacks coach. He worked closely with defensive coordinator Wade Phillips in implementing the new defensive scheme in LA. As cornerbacks coach for the Rams, 5 different cornerbacks have recorded at least 2 interceptions in a season. Marcus Peters, Troy Hill and Darious Williams all accomplished this feat in 2018. The Rams went on to participate in Super Bowl LIII that year. The Detroit Lions hired Pleasant as pass game coordinator/defensive backs coach on January 28, 2021.
The relationship Pleasnt and LaFleur have will hopefully bring to wrinkles to this offense. Hopefully this type of change can be just enough to get this offense on the right track.

Sure wasn’t that big of a win people it was no land sled .if Rodgers won remember their is a team he’s not alone maybe the rest of the seasons would have been good.
Rodgers doesn’t throw the ball with precision. Way to many botched passes at critical times. He has an internal attitude problem. He appears to point fingers far to much. Take on your leadership roll, you definitely have enough experience.
