Luke Getsy returned to the Green Bay Packers and was named the Senior Offensive Assistant for the Packers for 2025. Jordan Love worked previously with Getsy when he was with the Packers in 2021 as the QB coach and pass game coordinator. The chemistry and health should lead to Love getting back on track in 2025.
Jordan Love dealt with multiple injuries throughout last year, which led to a change in his play. After starting the first 8 games, attempting 32 passes per game and averaging 260 ypg with 16 TDs and 11 INTs, he saw his role change to more of a game manager down the stretch.
Love finished the last 7 games, only attempting 24 attempts per game with 187 ypg passing with 9 TDs and 0 INTs. When tasked with turning it back on in the playoffs, he couldn’t. In a 22-10 loss to the Eagles, Love attempted 33 passes which he completing only 61% 212 yards, 0 TDs / 3 INTs.
The biggest beneficiary from Love’s change in style of play was Josh Jacobs, as he recorded 14 rushing TDs over his last 10 games after only having 1 in his first 7 games. Jacobs led a Green Bay rushing attack last year that was 5th in the NFL in rush yards per game and per play.
While Jacobs is only 27 years old, there are only 5 NFL RBs on active rosters with more touches in their career than Jacobs’ 1,800+. Also troublesome is the fact that in Jacob’s stellar 2022 season, he got ever so close to the no-no number of 400 touches with 393. He missed 4 games the following year, seeing his ypc drop from 4.9 to 3.5 before the bounce back ‘24 campaign.
Lloyd is almost the forgotten man in the Green Bay backfield after Jacobs’ stellar year, and with the performances of unheralded RBs, Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks each averaging over 4.9 ypc. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water; there’s a reason the Packers made him a Top-100 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Wilson benefited from Love’s change in the style of play after the injuries and early onslaught of interceptions, combined with Lloyd’s injury. He made the most of the opportunity by averaging 4.9 ypc on 100+ carries for 500+ yards and 4 TDs. Three of those TDs came in each of the last 3 games of the year when the Packers were limiting Love’s throws.
Romeo Doubs missed 4 games in a season due to injuries for the 2nd time in his 3-year career. Having multiple concussions in the same season is extremely troublesome. Doubs started the year recording 26 receptions for 384 yards (14.8 ypr). His last 6 games saw a sharp drop of almost 4 yards per reception, going from 14.8 to 10.9 with 20 catches for 217 yards.
