Does Lazard really move that needle? I've always been a fan of him, I've always said there is a place for a guy like that on my team but he's a role player, not a difference maker. Has more value to a Rodgers-led offense than a Love offense.
And the alternative is Watson , Doubs and TBD. Not optimal. Who knows what he will ask for, numbers matter. And structure matters. I don’t see him breaking the bank on the open market
In the big picture probably not but the WR room is pedestrian now and with a weak WR class coming up not sure you can’t find a number that works. At the very least it’s some stability for 10
Just me ……nobody can beat man press coverage. In the past #17 was capable of that. Also to begin the season you had 3 rookies on the roster, #8 who is what he is and Lazard. It’s a big learning curve especially based on the systems they came from.
Rodgers doesn't want to do the play-action thing. They started ditching it along with the motion stuff last year and it's almost gone now. It's a real shame because that's the sort of thing that would actually allow you to scheme guys open.
Play action doesn't jive with "Feed 'Tae", which was AR's desired form of offense. The whole ML/AR experience has been ML pleading with his QB to run a system and trying to convince him that certain things work, followed by AR IMO latching onto times when it doesn't work as proof that it will never work and fighting the system. I don't have proof of that, that's my opinion based on tidbits and hearsay but I think it makes sense when you look at the product on the field. It looks more and more disjointed.
