Brian Gutekunst is signing offensive linemen. Is Matt LaFleur willing to change anything about the way the Packers play?

After a 35-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay is 1-2 and its problems are getting harder to explain away. The Packers ran just nine times for 17 yards, Jordan Love was under pressure again, and a defense that looked promising through two weeks gave up 242 rushing yards. Now Gutekunst has added veteran guards Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton in an attempt to repair the offensive line.

On Packers: DERAILED, J.J. Lahey and Jake Schyvinck ask whether the general manager’s moves can matter if LaFleur keeps trusting the same coaches, the same approach and an offense that cannot establish a run game or protect its quarterback.

We’re breaking down:

• Whether Tomlinson or Becton can actually help the offensive line

• Why it took three games for Gutekunst to seek veteran help

• LaFleur’s refusal to address questions about coaching changes

• The Packers’ nine rushing attempts against Atlanta and what happened to their offensive identity

• How much of Love’s struggle belongs to the line, the play calling or Love himself

• Bijan Robinson and Drake London’s huge nights against Jonathan Gannon’s defense

• What Matthew Golden and Christian Watson are giving this offense

• The latest questions surrounding Josh Jacobs, Jayden Reed and Green Bay’s growing injury list

• What needs to change before the Packers face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Gutekunst is trying to fix the roster. We’ll debate whether LaFleur is ready to fix the rest.
