The Green Bay Packers seemed to mail it in at the end of year

— and at the APC Podcast https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Kyle-Murphy-Jersey , we’re ready to admit the same. We won’t apologize, we’ll just move forward. Speaking of moving forward, the return of the Pod crew coincides rather conveniently with some big news in Titletown. The puffs of green smoke emanating from 1265 Lombardi Avenue herald the crowning of a new head coach of the Green Bay Packers: Matt LaFleur. On today’s episode, we break down the news of the hire and examine LaFleur’s path to the Packers. We also try our best to forecast what this means for the rest of the coaching staff, with defensive coordinator Mike Pettine staying put and even the possibility of former offensive coordinator Joe Philbin sticking around in some capacity.Click here to access the episode at Art19.Have ideas or questions?

He threw out the first pitch at a charity softball game in a walking boot, using his injury (from a basketball game) as a motivational message.He has to stay off his foot now for four weeks, which he hopes means will allow him to be back in the boot and active when the Packers start training camp.
