Okay, so I’ve been messing around with some ideas for the Green Bay Packers, specifically how to spice up their offense with some Air Raid concepts. It’s 2020, and I think there’s a real opportunity to make some changes that could really open things up.
First off, I started digging into what makes the Packers tick. I mean, they’re a classic team, right? Publicly owned, tons of history, the whole Lambeau Field vibe. It’s all there. And they’ve got a crazy number of Hall of Famers. I spent a good chunk of time just reading up on those legends and the history of the team. It’s pretty inspiring stuff.
Then, I got into the nitty-gritty of their current offensive scheme. It seems like Matt LaFleur really wants to establish the run, play big. But I noticed they relied a lot on just a few running schemes in 2020 – mostly wide zone, inside zone, and this Duo thing. That got me thinking, what if we could integrate some Air Raid principles to complement that?
So, I started comparing the Air Raid to the Run ‘n’ Shoot. The Run ‘n’ Shoot is all about those wide receivers catching almost everything. But the Air Raid, it’s like a simplified West Coast Offense, easier for younger players to grasp. I thought, maybe that’s the way to go. Keep it simple, trim the fat.
- Looked at how the Packers used their receivers.
- Compared the Air Raid to the West Coast Offense.
- Considered the youth of the team and the need for simplicity.
I dove into some specific concepts, like having inside receivers run shallow crossing routes really close to each other. And I saw the Packers were already messing with these 1-4 splits concepts, which could really change how they attack two-deep defenses.
Then the whole offseason drama with Aaron Rodgers caught my attention. It felt like there was some confusion, some disconnect. It made me think, maybe a fresh offensive approach could be a good thing, a way to shake things up and get everyone on the same page.
Brainstorming
- Explored shallow crossing routes.
- Analyzed the 1-4 split concepts.
- Reflected on the Rodgers situation and the potential for a new approach.
I even started thinking about the future, like, what resolutions could the Packers make to start 2025 strong? Another playoff appearance is on the horizon. How can they build on that? With Aaron Jones, how do you maximize his talent?
Finally, I’m looking at their upcoming Week 18 matchup against the Bears. It’s the end of the regular season, a big rivalry game. How can they use some of these Air Raid ideas to finish strong and set the tone for the playoffs?
It’s been a fun ride, digging into all this. I’m not saying I have all the answers, but I think there’s some real potential here to make the Packers’ offense even more dynamic and exciting. It’s all about blending that classic Green Bay tradition with some fresh, innovative ideas. It would be cool to see what they can do with it.
