The Packers’ running back problems are on full display

The Green Bay Packers' running back problems became painfully apparent during a recent game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite their offensive line holding up reasonably well, the Packers' rushing attack struggled against Tampa's stout run defense, ranking fourth in the NFL in opponent rushing success rate. Kaleb Johnson's fumble near the goal line highlighted glaring fundamental errors, as he should have maintained his grip on the ball amidst the traffic.

Chris Brooks showed promise with a significant carry, but his lack of power and agility limited his effectiveness. Marshawn Lloyd, meanwhile, continued his habit of bouncing plays, often failing to capitalize on opportunities. The team seemed to be relying heavily on Josh Jacobs when he returns, fearing that the current running back corps is operating at sub-replacement levels, severely impacting the team's offensive cohesion.
