early successJeff Hanisch-USA TODAY SportsWith the release of the 2019 NFL
schedule
http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-justin-vogel-jersey , the path before Green Bay Packers rookie head coach Matt LaFleur has been
set.Upon first glance, it looks like LaFleur will be able to having training
wheels at the start of his head coaching career. The Packers start the season
with five of their first seven games at home. In reality, this means the Packers
will have to get off to a fast start. This was a challenge in the later years
under Mike McCarthy so it should be a focus for the new regime. There are always
growing pains with a new staff and a new offense, but given the Packers close
the season with four of their final six games on the road, they’re going to have
to take advantage of the opportunity of so many early home games. The most
brutal part of the schedule is going to be weeks 8-10 with back-to-back road
games against the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers followed by a home
game against the Carolina Panthers. Thankfully the Packers have their bye week
after that. So the road to Super Bowl LIV is set. Will it take Green Bay to
Miami? Will Aaron Rodgers be a phoenix rising from the ashes of a disappointing
2018 season?No one knows, but it will be fun finding out.Onto today’s
curds.Packers’ schedule makes fast start essential for rookie coach Matt
LaFleur—PackersNews.comIt’s a grace period that isn’t a grace period as fans
will be ready to pass fast judgement, good or bad, on LaFleur’s team with three
home games in the season’s first quarter. Path to fast start in 2019 begins at
home for Packers—Packers.comThe Tundra won’t yet be frozen when the Packers have
more than half their home schedule finished. It’s an early advantage but given
the team’s road struggles last season, they’ll have to start fast to avoid
another hole.Not a 40-yard dash

all-pro offensive lineman chugged. David Bakhtiari might have had the most
Wisconsin moment ever on the Jumbotron and his quarterback apparently
approved.Receiver not sure thing for Packers in first round—ESPNWith a spending
spree to shore up the pass rush in free agency, many think the Packers will go
offense in the draft to give Rodgers more weapons. Not so fast, says Rob
Demovsky.Packers’ Linsley holds benefit for bike-riding partner’s
father—WLUKPlayers often bond with the kids whose bikes they ride during
training camp. Thanks to the efforts of Corey Linsley and his wife, a lifelong
bond has been formed with his “bike kid” and family. How the Packers employ
their tight ends will be one of the notable items to watch during the team’s
annual Family Night." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesAcme

2019TwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailPhoto by Lawrence Iles/Icon
Sportswire via Getty ImagesThe first taste of the Green Bay Packers’ 2019 season
will come tonight as the organization hosts its yearly Family Night Practice
amid the Lambeau Field faithful. Fresh off the first NFL preseason game last
night, the Packers will take the field for the first time in a new era under
Head Coach Matt LaFleur.While the new Aaron Rodgers-led offense and high-end
free agent defensive signings will garner most of the headlines during the
evening, there are plenty of position group battles and schematic questions
waiting to be answered. As Packer fans eagerly await Family Night, here are
three areas to keep a close eye on this evening.Will the Packers utilize “12
personnel” sets and how effective will they be?One of the more surprising
aspects of the Green Bay offense in 2018 was the ineffectiveness of two tight
end, “12 personnel,” sets in the midst of adding Marcedes Lewis to a tandem of
Jimmy Graham and Lance Kendricks. The arrival of LaFleur and Nathaniel Hackett
hopefully will restore the threat that this set can bring.During Family
Night
http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-jk-scott-jersey , it will be intriguing to see how often the Packers practice this set and what
the results will be. They added raw receiving weapons to the position in the
form of Jace Sternberger and Pharoah McKever, while retaining Graham, Lewis, and
Robert Tonyan. Will any of these players be able to stretch the hashes from the
slot or create chunk plays through LaFleur-staple crossing patterns?Conversely,
how will this group of tight ends run block? Lewis’ strength in this area is
well-documented, but Graham, Tonyan, Sternberger, and McKever all are rather
unrefined or below-average in this area. For the Packers’ new offense to be
effective as a whole
Kevin King Jersey , they will need their tight ends to hold up as blockers. They will undergo their first eye test tonight.Will another under-the-radar
receiving target step into the final roster conversation?It was right around
Family Night last year when Rodgers praised Jake Kumerow’s improvements without
prompting. Kumerow then went on to have a stellar preseason that won him a
second look for a roster spot despite three rookie receivers. This year,
Kumerow, along with Allen Lazard and Teo Redding have received similarly glowing
remarks from the Packers’ franchise quarterback.Lazard in particular is a strong
candidate to emerge during this year’s Lambeau festivities. The second-year
player spent most of his rookie season on the Jacksonville practice squad in the
offense utilized by Hackett. However, Lazard has had some time to adjust to
Rodgers and the Green Bay offense since being signed to the active roster in
mid-December. The Iowa State product presents a 6’5” frame that fits in well
with a receiving unit composed of size-speed weapons.Redding and Lazard may be
two underrated players to watch on a night that figures to see other second-year
targets like Marquez Valdes-Scantling, J’Mon Moore, and Equanimeous St. Brown
hoping to impress.Will a reserve edge linebacker stand out?Much has been said
this offseason about the newcomers to the Packers’ linebacker group - Rashan
Gary, Preston Smith, and Za’Darius Smith. But how about the depth behind all of
these players? While contact is limited in this practice, one-on-one battles
against the Packers’ offensive tackles will be interesting to watch.On the
edge
Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey White , it starts with Kyler Fackrell, who had several breakout performances in 2018 but now sees himself in a backup role.
Will Fackrell continue to take a step forward in 2019 as a role player and spot
pass rusher? Now in his third season, time is ticking for Reggie Gilbert to make
an impact or he will find his way out of 1265 Lombardi Avenue. He enters
training camp on the bubble of a 53-man roster slot. Even last year’s
seventh-round draft pick Kendall Donnerson hopes to draw attention after an
offseason of development and will compete against undrafted players Greg Roberts
and Randy Ramsey for Family Night reps, if all are healthy enough to go.For the
first time in a long time, the outside linebacker room is filled with a handful
of both proven players and promising up-and-comers. Tonight should be an
opportunity to see what the Packers have in all of their edge rushers.
