In a bold move, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has enlisted former Jets head coach Robert Saleh to bring his defensive expertise to the offensive side of the ball.
Saleh was spotted at practice, diving straight into preparations for the upcoming clash against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“This was a no-brainer,” LaFleur said, highlighting the value of having a defensive mind scrutinizing their offensive strategies. Saleh’s insights could expose vulnerabilities in opposing defenses, giving the Packers a serious edge.
Though recently fired by the Jets, Saleh is in Green Bay through Thursday, bringing a wealth of experience from his time as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator, where his units consistently ranked in the top 10 in yards allowed.
LaFleur emphasized that while Saleh’s focus is purely on offense, he has full confidence in first-year defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. The collaboration between LaFleur and Saleh isn’t just professional; they share a long history, having worked together since their days at Central Michigan.
With Saleh on board, expect the Packers to sharpen their offensive attack and outsmart defenses like never before. This partnership could be exactly what Green Bay needs to elevate their game!
