Reply to "Nice article on our RBs & LaFleur's scheme use, from their perspective"

New England won two of the last three SBs. 2019 and 2017. Both years they ranked 3rd in rushing attempts. 2018 season they averaged 30 rushing attempts/game. The 2016 season they averaged 30 attempts/game.

That's how you protect a QB. Very simple. That's balance. Keep the opposing D playing honest and off of your star QB, without their ears constantly pinned back in complete pass rush mode. Packers were worst, or near worst in rushing attempts/game both seasons.

Brady was sacked 21 times in the 2018 season. Aaron Rodgers was sacked 53 times. (Also 51 times in 2017, 35 times in 2016, 47 times in 2015...).

I just want the Packers to run the rock 30+ times/game, with our RBs, not including QB scrambles. That is where we will win a sh!t ton of games, and keep our own star QB healthy. Can't win a SB if Aaron isn't there for it.

Belichick knows what he is doing. I believe LaFleur understands the value of this part of the game. We'll see. Running the rock, and Guiness, is good for you!
