Inbox: It's the same recipe with slightly different ingredients - Packers.com

Ed from Windsor, CO

Thank goodness for the bye week, we all need to rest. I think, barring injuries/players available, the Packers can run the table. Do you think the Pack will run the table or does it matter, the goal being the Lombardi?

Yeah, I'm more interested in running to Sofi than running the table. The Packers had to do that in 2016 to keep their playoff hopes alive. This year, Green Bay is out in front of the pack (no pun intended). The Packers' focus needs to be on getting healthy and making sure they're the best versions of themselves come playoffs.

The Packers finally reached their bye week after playing 12 consecutive weeks. When there were only 12 games to the regular season, I don't recall there being a bye week. So, what is the big deal about the Packers break being so late? Yes, it was a long stretch before having a break; but there was a time when every team had this situation.

Well, the game also was a lot different back then, Rog. Here's really what's crazy – the Packers don't even have the latest bye. New England, Miami, Indy and Philly have Week 14 byes. I didn't realize that until Aaron Rodgers' appearance on "The Pat McAfee" Tuesday. The NFL wants 17 regular-season games? Fine. You got it but let's wrap these things between Week 6 and Thanksgiving. Weeks 13-14 are too late, especially for teams out of contention.

Having a 9-3 record with all the injuries is amazing. As a fan, I've always appreciated the Packers' history of MVP QB-ing. But more and more, I'm appreciating how fortunate we are with the GM runs of Wolf-Ted-Gutey. Not just drafting well and finding those stopgap hidden gems midseason, but also the hard decisions on when to be patient with development (Davante Adams, Rashan Gary), when to let good players walk (Clay Matthews, Jamaal Williams). Tough job. Good times never seemed so good.

As much as we talk about the quarterbacks, the run the Packers have been on with their front office cannot be overlooked. Because more than any other position, coaching job or area in the franchise, there is a direct connection between Brian Gutekunst's front office and the one Ron Wolf assembled in the early 1990s. Even today, the front office's core principles are rooted in Wolf's teachings.

What changes have you seen in Matt LaFleur over the time he has been head coach? How has success impacted him?

I haven't seen success affect LaFleur at all. If anything, I think you've seen him become even more grounded than when he got here 35 months ago – and that's saying something. The one area I've definitely seen LaFleur grow more comfortable is as the "figurehead" of the football team and it's been great to see more and more of his personality shine through this year. He had a Midas touch for knowing how to handle, condition and prepare a football team from Day 1. It's neat to watch LaFleur settle into all the other aspects of the job.

This year's defensive success with an injury-thinned roster got me thinking back to the last Super Bowl team when then DC Dom Capers had to surmount a similar challenge. What innovations did Capers bring to the game that changed the way defenses play and still reverberate today?

It's the same recipe with slightly different ingredients. Capers had the 1,000-pound line of Ryan Pickett, B.J. Raji and Howard Green stuffing the run. Barry uses that "Penny" package with a five-man front and two-high safeties. Capers innovated with the "Psycho" package, a precursor to "NASCAR," because that's where the strength of his team was. In his own way, I think Joe Barry has done the same thing. The job of a defensive coordinator is to build a flexible scheme and make the available pieces fit. Barry and his staff have been exceptional at that this season.
