(WNFL/LEARFIELD) – The Green Bay Packers flew to Sao Paulo, Brazil on Wednesday in preparation for Friday’s regular season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Before heading south, Packers coach Matt LaFleur spoke about dealing with the long trip to Brazil.
LaFleur said this is a big opportunity for his team.
He said that the big thing is keeping the message and focus on the Eagles and not the long trip.
LaFleur said the players are ready to go.
Jacobs ready to roll: Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is looking forward to Friday’s game and talked about what it’s going to be like going up against the defense of Eagles defensive co-ordinator Vic Fangio.
Jacobs said he’s looking forward to being counted on as a runner and a receiver.
Jacobs was asked how much it helps to have so many other offensive weapons around him.
With all those weapons, Jacobs is anxious to see what the offense can do.
What others are saying: It appears that some folks think the Packers’ biggest issue will the kicking game … at least until proven otherwise.
