Packers’ Matt LaFleur wasn’t happy with undefeated talk from team

Green Bay, Wisconsin – The Green Bay Packers coach Matt Lafleur did not like what he saw on the field on Sunday in the upset 13-10 defeat of his team at the Browns in Cleveland, and he did not like what he heard from his locker room last week.

It was at this time that Rasheed Walker used the word “U” after the packers started 2-0 with convincing victories on a pair of NFC eliminatory teams last season: Detroit lions and Washington commanders. The left tackle of the packers suggested: “I think we can be undefeated, honestly.”

Since one of Lafleur’s favorite sentences is to go 1-0 per week, it was not a surprise to hear his answer on Monday.

“I told you a million times – I don’t think I obviously said to our team – the goal is to go 1-0 every week,” said Lafleur on Monday. “And it pisses me off when we start talking about things outside the next game. Things that are far from the road. Like, focus, keep the accent on the present, on the now and are worried about improving every day.”

Lafleur did not mention Walker specifically and Walker refused to comment after Sunday’s defeat.

“I think it’s always a good reminder, like” hey guys, pump the brakes on everything. We just try to win a match both “, said Lafleur. “And if you think [like that] Or have your views about anything outside of that, I think you are focused on bad things. For example, we have to focus on trying to improve. Obviously, today, the emphasis is placed on being honest about the band and what the band says, then learning of that, then it moves on to something else. “”

Maybe the greatest thing that jumped on a band was what happened on the 43 yards potential basket that the Browns blocked in the last minute. Several Browns players have had a significant push on the left side of the goal protection unit.

“I think it amounts to being disciplined and trusting your technique and that you are trained daily,” said Lafleur. “Unfortunately, we got up, and we played with a bad pad, we did not take the right measures and we simply did not do the right technique. So, if you do not do this against a very good team that will rush hard, you are likely to have a catastrophic event.”

On the injury front, Lafleur said that Javon Bullard security was in the concussion protocol after leaving the match at the end of the fourth quarter.

The right tackle Zach Tom, who left after a game because of the oblique injury which prevented him the previous week, was not injured worse.

“I would be up to the simulation of what these guys will go in the match,” said Lafleur about Tom, who was limited in practice last week. “We have done our best in terms of trying to pass them out enough and certainly made them in practice, but the game is always a different speed.”
