The Green Bay Packers made a huge splash this offseason by landing Rich Bisaccia as special teams coordinator. It was so impressive that Matt LaFleur shared an NSFW reaction to his impact so far.

Bisaccia, the former Las Vegas Raiders interim head coach, is filling a massive need for the Packers. Green Bay had one of the worst special teams in the NFL last season and moved on from coordinator Maurice Drayton after the year.

LaFleur is certainly excited about the hire and didn’t hold back when talking about the impact Bisaccia’s having so far.

“Buckle up,” LaFleur said, via the Green Bay Press-Gazette’s Ryan Wood. “God damn, he is a fiery dude, man. Which, I can’t wait. I can’t wait to see how he interacts with our players, and that dimension he’s going to bring not only to the special teams, but our entire team.”

Bisaccia took over as Raiders interim head coach after Jon Gruden’s resignation mid-season. He led them to the playoffs, where they eventually fell to the Cincinnati Bengals in the Wild Card Round.

Matt LaFleur opens up about what went into the decision to trade Davante Adams

The Green Bay Packers placed the franchise tag on star wide receiver Davante Adams earlier in the offseason, but later traded him to the Las Vegas Raiders for a couple of draft picks. That move was stunning in the NFL, and creates a giant hole on the Packers offense.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur opened up about the Adams trade at the NFL owners meetings, admitting that the decision to move on from one of the NFL’s best wideouts was largely driven by Adams himself.

“That was one of those things those decisions are never easy to make,” LaFleur said via Pro Football Network. “Unfortunately, it was one that we had to come to. I think a lot of it was driven by Davante, I’m going to tell you. But there’s no sense in looking back. We’re moving forward. We appreciate everything he’s done, obviously.”

While the Packers are undoubtedly happy to have quarterback Aaron Rodgers back for next season, they will also surely miss the presence of Adams on the offense. Adams was selected by the Packers in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft out of Fresno State, and has turned into a dominant force in the years since. In his eight-year NFL career, Adams has caught 669 passes for 8,121 yards and 73 touchdowns.
