Preparing for the Challenge of Free Agent QBs
GREEN BAY – With Head Coach Matt LaFleur leaving the door “pretty open” for Jordan Love to start at quarterback Sunday, the Packers are accelerating preparations for Malik Willis to face the Indianapolis Colts.
Acquired via trade from Tennessee, Willis has barely been in Green Bay three weeks, facing a challenge that surpasses the typical backup QB scenario. “It’s gonna be a little bit in overdrive,” Willis remarked about studying the playbook and game plan. “It’s been pretty much around the clock since I got here.”
The Stakes Are High
- Willis remains unfazed by the pressure of emergency assignments.
- Communication with coaches about his comfort level is key.
- The Colts defense struggled against the run in Week 1.
Brought in at a crucial time, Willis is ready to lead. “It’s all on us,” stated receiver Dontayvion Wicks, emphasizing teamwork.
Strategies for Success
- Executives from the coaching staff will refine game plans based on Willis' preferences.
- Focus on plays that leverage Willis's unique skill set.
- Ensure all offensive players are aligned and prepared to support the new strategy.
Willis understands the urgency, having had to learn new systems quickly throughout his career. “It’s about what you can prove on the field,” he affirmed, highly aware of the opportunity that lies ahead.
