After three games, Green Bay’s offensive line won in pass protection on just 16% of dropbacks, according to tracking Mina Kimes cited; the league average was near 50%. A SB Nation columnist says the unit has no clear fix and calls for line coach Luke Butkus to be fired.
The columnist argues the problem spans the line and its backups, not just one weak spot. He says much of Green Bay’s investment is tied to Zach Bako-Bewele, who may never play again after a full patellar tendon tear, and calls Aaron Banks injury-prone and poor; he also says second-round pick Anthony Belton has struggled and Jordan Morgan is only “maybe OK.”
The writer acknowledges that three games are a small sample but says Green Bay has no new players to add and must get better play from its current linemen. He warns that the protection problems could put quarterback Jordan Love at risk.
