Packers coach Matt LaFleur was surprisingly candid in his explanation of the decision to cut running back Kylin Hill this week, indicating that Hill didn’t conduct himself the way the Packers expect of their players.

“Being a member of the Green Bay Packers, it’s a privilege,” LaFleur said. “There are standards and expectations that are placed on every member of this team that we expect guys to live up to. I appreciate what Kylin’s been through, I know it hasn’t been easy coming back from that knee injury that he suffered a year ago, that was pretty devastating. He’s a guy we had high expectations for, and realize he’s in a loaded room, but regardless of your role big or small, we expect guys to come to work and be supportive and own that role to the best of your ability. If you don’t do that, that’s what happened.”

Asked if the decision to cut Hill was less about what kind of football player he is than about other things away from the field, LaFleur answered, “Yeah, I would say so.”
Reading between the lines, LaFleur seemed to be suggesting that Hill — who has played just one offensive snap this season — was unhappy with his playing time behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon and didn’t handle his unhappiness appropriately. Now Hill will hope he can catch on with another team, one that will give him the playing time the Packers haven’t.

Good message from MLF. One of the important qualities of a leader is to provide clarity with respect to standards and goals and to hold you and your team accountable.

It looks like MLF is just starting to show he deserves his contract.  Don't know why it took so long.  Maybe he was more of a praise in public,  punish in private guy. If there is one area that does not fully apply, it is in professional sports because of the fans. Fortunately,  there are no fans watching me at work.

I understand the move now. I did want to see more of Hill on the field though. I bet he goes elsewhere and balls out.

I never thought we would hear anything about why he was cut.
it's a pleasant change to hear about that.  Like was already said, it sends a message to the other guys that those  Things won't be tolerated.

Was hoping it wasn't something like that.

At least Matt's willing to stand up to SOMEONE.

He was good tho. Some considered him 3rd best RB in the draft. Fell because his school got a new coach with different offense, never used him, ended up leaving the team over Covid.

Maybe part of it was his 'tude.

They did get a new coach, which the offense when from a pro-style with heavy running to an Air Raid style which all about passing.... and extremely extremely simple runs (like left, right and center), but he was basically asked to pass block and go out for routes a lot more and they barely ran it... and when they did run it, it was basically and out of shot gun and all about the passing game.

But if he was really that good in the prior years, teams would of still took an earlier chance on him...


And Packers QB coach (now Bears OC coach) was his OC for one season in college, and with the Bears IRing their RB from the same draft (whom I thought was the best zone RB in the draft, not best overall, but just pure zone, he sucks in non-zone)... the Bears could claim or sign him.

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
