Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers will hit the road in Week 1 to take on the New Orleans Saints. As a result of Hurricane Ida, the game has been moved to Jacksonville, Florida.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was asked Wednesday about the warm weather that awaits Green Bay and his players staying hydrated throughout the week.
“Every time they pee, you want it to be clear.”
What a line from the head coach. LaFleur would go on to note that the matchup against the Saints and it being in Jacksonville will provide a good test for the Packers right out of the gate.
Green Bay has Super Bowl goals this year after appearing in back-to-back NFC Championships. With most of the core back from a year ago, including the reigning MVP, there's no reason to think the Packers won't be right in the race for the Lombardi Trophy when the playoffs arrive.
New Orleans is dealing with plenty of turnover. Drew Brees retired and in at quarterback is Jameis Winston. He'll be without superstar wide receiver Michael Thomas who is expected to miss at least the first five games of the season. Emmanuel Sanders and Jared Cook, two crucial pieces to the offense from a year ago, also moved on in the offseason.
It still should be a great matchup against two NFC heavyweights and LaFleur will keep an eye on the hydration of the Packers throughout the week while hoping for some clear urine.
