Packers OL David Bakhtiari pokes fun at former teammate and friend Aaron Rodgers over Packers RPO offense Aaron was slow as s

The Green Bay Packers are entering a serious transition period. Henri Jokiharju Kids Jersey Aaron Rodgers has absconded for Gotham City Football to join the New York Jets, while Jordan Love is taking the reins on Matt LaFleur's offense.It goes without saying, the Packers aren't going to run Rodgers' offensive playbook with Love at the helm. Where Rodgers ran an offensive style that emphasized timing and efficiency, the Packers are moving to a run-pa s option (RPO) style of offense under Love.Rodgers' long-time Scott Wilson Kids Jersey teammate and friend, Packers offensive lineman David Bakhtiari, had an enlightening explanation on why we're going to see a different look from the Packers offensively this season.Because Aaron is slow as s---, . Now we actually have an athletic quarterback who can move around.MORE:It goes without saying, 15 years makes a difference. Love is going to turn 25 in Matt Moulson Women Jersey November, whereas Rodgers is turning 40 in December. Their combine stats are actually extremely comparable. Rodgers edged out Love in the 40-yard dash with a 4.71 to Love's 4.74, while Love's three-cone drill was faster than Rodgers' (7.21 vs. 7.39).While early-career Rodgers was a ma sive running threat, there's no question that threat has di sipated in recent years. He has averaged fewer than four rushing yards per attempt in each of the past three seasons. From 2008 (Rodgers' first year as a starter) to 2019, Rodgers averaged 5. Thomas Vanek Women Jersey 1 yards per attempt (in fact, it became an oft-made joke that announcers referenced his "sneaky athleticism").The Packers are undoubtedly hoping Love revitalizes that part Zach Bogosian Kids Jersey of the offense. LaFleur is respected as an offensive innovator, so perhaps with Love starting being a known factor the Packers offense can start to break out.Bakhtiari was obviously razzing an old friend with his comment, but it brings up a salient point. The Packers have to be creative this year, it's not a luxury. Perhaps we see the offense loosen up with Love at the helm.
