The Green Bay Packers have been extremely successful under head coach Matt LaFleur. In fact, he is 66-31 as Green Bay’s head coach. The Super Bowl, however, has eluded LaFleur thus far in his coaching career.
In order to capture that elusive trophy, there may be a new wrinkle that LaFleur is able to add.
Packers: “New Development” Has HC Matt LaFleur Thrilled (Report)
At this point in the season, it is hard to find legitimate help for your team. However, that isn’t as much the case when you are returning a player from injury.
Head coach Matt LaFleur is excited about what the addition of Luke Musgrave will bring to this offense:
Luke Musgrave, who had his 21-day practice window opened last week, has a shot at playing on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints.
“He’s actually looked pretty good out there the past couple days, so we’ll see,” head coach Matt LaFleur said on Friday. “Just watched him take a lot of the scout team reps. He’s running fast. We didn’t have pads on this week, but I do think that everything I’ve seen from him, he looks pretty good.”
there and accomplish what we wanted him to do,” LaFleur said. “He’s had enough experience, and I feel pretty comfortable with what we would ask him to do to go out there and play.”
Part of the process for the Packers to select Musgrave and Kraft in the same draft class is because they have completely different styles of play. The second-rounder brings a special element to the offense, and LaFleur intends to take full advantage of it.
“Absolutely. He’s got something that you can’t really coach, in terms of just the speed that he brings out on the field,” LaFleur pointed out. “It’s not like we would go out there and play him 70 snaps, but if we can ease him back into it, I think it would be really good for him and for us.”
Here is a look at Musgrave’s career numbers:
