GREEN BAY Elgton Jenkins Jersey , Wis. (AP) — Packers coach Matt LaFleur remembers vividly how challenging it was facing Mike Zimmer’s defense.Zimmer’s defensive unit held LaFleur’s offense to a single touchdown when the two squared off nearly two years ago in Minnesota. Zimmer was 10 games into what would eventually be a 13-3 season with an appearance in the NFC championship game for him in his fourth season as Vikings head coach. LaFleur was enjoying his first and only season as offensive coordinator for the Rams, who would finish 11-5 and lose in the wild-card round.The two will square off again Sunday when LaFleur and the Packers welcome Zimmer’s Vikings to Lambeau Field.“It certainly is going to be a good task for our offense and a good measuring stick to see where we’re at, see how much we can improve from last week,” LaFleur said Monday.LaFleur’s offense managed just one touchdown in a 10-3 win last week against Chicago, which boasts one of the top defenses in the league. The 10 points tied for the fewest Green Bay has scored against the Bears since Rodgers became the starting quarterback in 2008. LaFleur said he anticipates another tough chess match when he sees Zimmer on the opposite sideline on Sunday.“He stresses you,” LaFleur said. “He presents a lot of similar looks, and they do a lot of different things off of those looks. Then you combine that with the talent they have, and again on all three levels of that defense Dexter Williams Jersey , they’ve got Pro Bowlers everywhere.”LaFleur, play-caller and head coach Sean McVay, quarterback Jared Goff and the Rams’ offense opened the game on Nov. 18, 2017, in Minnesota with a nine-play, 70-yard drive. The drive was capped by a 6-yard rushing touchdown by Todd Gurley. Los Angeles never scored again.LaFleur and the Rams ended with 179 yards on their final nine drives and lost 24-7.The Vikings hired Zimmer in January 2014 after allowing the second-most yards and the most points in the NFL during the 2013 season. Zimmer had spent the previous five seasons as the Bengals defensive coordinator. Zimmer directed Cincinnati to a top-10 finish in yards and points allowed in four of his five seasons.Minnesota’s defense, led by linebacker Anthony Barr, started the season by getting four sacks and forcing three turnovers in a 28-12 win over the Falcons.A challenge LaFleur will face on Sunday that he didn’t have to worry about against Zimmer’s Vikings two seasons ago was Dalvin Cook.The third-year running back missed 12 games as a rookie in 2017 with a torn ACL and five more games last season with a hamstring issue. But Cook was ready for the opener Sunday Vince Biegel Color Rush Jersey , carrying the ball 21 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns.Cook, who earned his third 100-yard outing in his 16th game, gives a new dimension to the Vikings’ offense, an offense that is all too familiar to LaFleur.“When you’re watching the tape and you’re watching Minnesota’s offense, you can see a lot of similar concepts,” he said. “… There’s a lot of similarities between what they do and some of the stuff that we do.”What the Vikings did well against the Falcons and also two years ago was run the ball. Latavius Murray led Minnesota with 95 yards and two scores on the ground against LaFleur and the Rams in 2017.LaFleur has emphasized since Day 1 of his tenure in Green Bay is the importance of establishing the run. The 47 rushing yards the Packers’ offense had last week won’t be enough against the Vikings and LaFleur knows it.“As an offense, everybody needs to be better,” he said. “And again https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Antonio-Morrison-Jersey , it starts with the coaches, myself and the offensive coaches.” With the Green Bay Packers officially eliminated from playoff contention, the offseason starts now despite two games remaining on the schedule.Priority one for the Packers will be finding a new head coach. The widely held assumption is that the team is in the market for an offensive-minded head coach to help Aaron Rodgers and company get out of the doldrums.If this is indeed the path Green Bay goes down, the next coach should almost immediately offer to retain defensive coordinator Mike Pettine.Despite suffering a ton of injuries including the two best defensive lineman in Mike Daniels and Kenny Clark, Pettine’s unit has remained respectable despite the team’s poor record. The fact Pettine has kept the defense playing well despite all the adversity speaks volumes about his coaching acumen and how much players enjoy playing for him.Could you see the same situation unfolding under Dom Capers’ leadership? Highly doubtful.There’s more on why keeping Pettine would be the smart move plus a Packers legend visits with two current stars of his alma mater in today’s cheese curds.Mike Pettine making strong case to keep leading Packers’ defense—PackersNews.comGo figure that the Packers finally fix the defense and then the offense falls apart.Success on the road remains elusive for Packers—Packers.comThat the Packers are 0-7 on the road is perhaps the most shocking statistic in a lost season.Dissecting what went wrong with Packers QB Aaron Rodgers in 2018—Packers WireRodgers hasn’t played his best this season and while he hasn’t been truly awful, the next head coach will face a challenge in getting Rodgers to look like Rodgers again.Packers legend Bart Starr meets with Alabama players—WBAY-TVStarr visited his alma mater and their two star quarterbacks and gave them both a signed a jersey.
