On @channel3000.com ~ "I know everybody wants us to force-feed guys the ball, but that’s really not how we’ve done it around here," #Packers coach Matt LaFleur says. "And I don’t plan on changing that." Fair enough, Matt. But maybe a few more balls to No. 0?

Despite a spread-it-around approach that works, Packers coach Matt LaFleur has a (Matthew) Golden opportunity to get his rookie first-round pick more involved on offense

GREEN BAY — Matt LaFleur makes a reasonable, logical, compelling argument. The Green Bay Packers head coach certainly has had ample opportunity to craft and refine his case.
