Packers Have an O-Line Problem, Jordan Love Needs Protection & Where’s the Toughness?

On The Homer Hour, Steve “Homer” True and Bryan Bulaga try to explain how the Packers went from controlling Minnesota for three quarters to completely collapsing in the fourth. Bulaga argues the warning signs were there all afternoon, with Jordan Love repeatedly escaping pressure and making spectacular plays despite shaky protection. He explains why Green Bay failed to properly adjust with screens, draws and quick throws before the pressure finally overwhelmed the offense. Then surprise guest TJ Lang joins his former teammate for an offensive-line summit. Lang and Bulaga discuss what they believe is missing from the current Packers line, including the toughness, attitude and accountability their units played with. Lang explains why protecting Jordan Love goes beyond simply blocking and why offensive linemen need to make opponents understand there are consequences for taking shots at their quarterback. He also delivers a message directly to Green Bay’s offensive line about the responsibility that comes with wearing the Packers helmet.
