Packers’ offense plans to build around run

Meantime, defense reportedly to add pass rush help with veteran free agents
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Packers’ need to develop balance on both sides of the football was painfully obvious last season. Green Bay was too “pass happy” on offense and the defense’s inability to sync up pass rush with pass coverage provided way too many easy opportunities for opponents.
As the days go by since his hire in January, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is slowly revealing his plan to fix what’s been ailing Green Bay.

It’s a tall order, to be sure, and it’s especially so when a team has a winning tradition and one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks.
The Packers have both.
What they don’t have is an abundance of time or patience.
Packers’ fans want a winner now.
