Damn LaFleur

[Zool]

Colloquialism. Far less fun to talk about the 4.3% larger piece.

I think he was implying the candy bar would not split at all. Just consumed whole.

Rodgers spread it around when he had Driver, Jennings, Jones and Jordy. Who wouldn't? But the last couple of years he's talked several times about wanting to get it to Adams even more. That's somewhat understandable, but I think you're always better if the opposing defense can't focus on one guy.

Yes. I hope Rodgers believes these guys will deliver if they get used in specialty situations like the Oakland game.

Will save forcing the ball to Adams.

Possible. Young Tex is a scamp.

In the clip of Lafleur mic’d up, AR comes off after one of his touchdowns and said, nice playcall in a cocky way as if to say, “I made it happen for you.”

Lafleur was like, ok, and looked like he liked the cockiness and challenge of it all.

And when AR said he was gonna get 5 TDS, Lafleur fucked with him and said, yeah, that’s the goal like it was easy and he’s expected to get that many.

Funny shit to see those two fuck with each other.

And the all gas no fucking brake comment by Lafleur was a good one too.

Lafleur definitely brings out the cocky, competitiveness of the team. That’s fun to watch.

tex's Mom: Here is a candy bar for you and your sibling, tex. You split it in half and let them choose which half.

tex: Splits candy bar, stuffs larger half in mouth.

If you guys could see my "little" brother, you wouldn't be thinking I got the big share of the candy bar hahahahahaha.

That metaphor, though, is not a bad summary of what I said about LaFleur giving in a lot more than Rodgers has given in - and the team being better off for it.

Fritz, you remind me of me - in that post anyway.

Radagast, apparently you have a bit of a reading problem, in addition to all your other problems hahahahaha. I said I'm fairly pleased with the degree of balance between run and pass so far. I would definitely call it pass-first - when it needs to be anyway. As I said, LaFleur's offense so far has been MORE, not less accommodating to and dependent on the skills of our GOAT QB than McCarthy's - who I saw as failing to place nearly enough trust in Rodgers way too many times.

Regarding the spreading the ball around to a lot of receivers, it's back to the future. THAT is Rodgers natural way of doing things. Last year, yeah, Adams got the lion's share because he could be trusted while some of the others maybe couldn't.

ok, I guess that catches me up on things needing comments.

You seriously think it is not? Rodgers has always spread it around to a lot of receivers - taking what the defense gives you. Passing first to set up occasional runs is absolutely accommodating Rodgers - riding him to victory. Even McCarthy didn't do that enough. If LaFleur subordinates his ego and keeps this up, it's gonna be a great offensive season - a great season in general if the D snaps back.

I ask you to show me ONE game in Rodgers ENTIRE CAREER where he hit RBs with 10 passes in a game. Last sunday doesn't count. It may have happened before. I don't recall it.

Nah, I'm a numbers guy. I was razzing him about halves being equal. And I knew he knew the difference, just having fun.

But your point may be more valid.

And when AR said he was gonna get 5 TDS, Lafleur fucked with him and said, yeah, that’s the goal like it was easy and he’s expected to get that many.

If I heard correctly, MLF's reply was that he wanted 6 TD's. Gotta like that competitiveness and keeping the foot on the gas (cough M3).

[RashanGary]

Each time I watch Lafleur mic’d up, I laugh harder. First of all, the “all gas, no fucking brake” comment ages well. But after Aaron came off after his 5th touchdown, he punched Lafleur in the chest and said, “i appreciate it.” Thats what Lafleur always says so it’s hilarious to hear Aaron using back at him!

This team is having fun. If there’s one thing that I like most about Lafleur it’s how much he’s empowered and encouraged guys to just bring their own personality and their own style of football too.

[RashanGary]

AR does not feel smothered or held back. You can tell. AR finally has a big stat day, but he’s just as happy to hand off for 4 touchdowns or see Jamaal Williams run for 100. AR will get his stat days again, but I do think there is a lot of group joy on the team where that’s not the focus.

But Hackett today said it perfectly. He said, yeah, Aaron had a good day, but the OL played well and the running backs are running well so that opens up the pass, and the receivers are running well and guys are blocking for each other. So Aaron played well but he got help from all 11.

That’s is a message that helps everyone feel important and a part of. We all know Aaron looks like shit when he’s on shit teams so it’s not all AR.
