One of the best and most crucial members of the Vince Lombardi championship teams from that era passed away a few days ago. Forrest Gregg, the team’s stalwart right tackle for over a decade, dealt with Parkinson’s Disease for many years and has passed at the age of 85.Gregg was every bit as important to those championship teams as anyone else, and his impact can be felt best by hearing what his teammates have to say about him. And while some of those teammates had to wait years before getting the call to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Gregg’s career put him there in his first year of eligibility.While we remember a legend, Packers fans also are looking ahead to the 2019 season. So too is new head coach Matt LaFleur, who finally weighed in for the first time on the recent drama surrounding his team, his quarterback, and his predecessor. If LaFleur is worried about any of that, he certainly isn’t showing it and he certainly won’t say so. Instead, he’s saying exactly what one would expect: that he’s focused on his own relationship with Aaron Rodgers rather than worrying at all about what happened in the past.Packers great Forrest Gregg dies at 85 | Packers.comGregg, the Hall of Fame right tackle for Vince Lombardi's teams in the 1960s, passed away on Friday.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Packers interim head coach Joe Philbin said that it wasn’t easy to let associate head coach Winston Moss go from the coaching staff, but that he came to the decision because he “just didn’t feel like the fit right now was where it needs to be.”More Packers coverageBucks’ Wes Matthews loves Wisconsin, is a Vikings fanPreview: Packers look to slow Vikings’ revitalized run gameTop Tweets: Yelich thanks fans for support after season-ending injuryAmos sparks rebuilt Packers defense in debutPackers to be tested again by familiar foe in Zimmer, VikingsPhilbin spoke on Wednesday before his first practice as the interim coach to replace the fired Mike McCarthy . Moss posted a message on Twitter on Tuesday that appeared to question that Packers leadership and quarterback Aaron Rodgers.“Find somebody that is going to hold #12 (Rodgers’ jersey number) and everybody in this building to a #LombardiStandard,” read part of Moss’ tweet , citing former Packers coach and Hall of Famer Vince Lombardi.When asked about the tweet, Philbin said the decision didn’t have to do with just one factor. He then recounted what he told the team earlier this week.“We’ve got to be professional Tramon Williams Color Rush Jersey , accountable, respectful and punctual — those are the four things that we’ve got to do the next four weeks,” he said. “And if we do all those things we’ll be in good shape.”Moss joined the Packers’ staff in January 2006, a week after McCarthy was hired as head coach. An NFL linebacker for 11 seasons, Moss primarily oversaw the outside linebackers.When longtime defensive coordinator Dom Capers was fired after last season, Mike Pettine was hired as his replacement. The Packers turned to Philbin, the offensive coordinator and former Dolphins head coach, to take over for McCarthy for the last four games of the season.Moss’ limited interactions in recent years with the media were also often either brief or contentious.“Yeah I think it’s important obviously that everybody’s on the same page, that we’re all moving forward in the same direction. As you know, Winston’s an excellent football coach, I’ve known him a long time,” Philbin said. “Respect him, outstanding family man. So it wasn’t an easy decision, but I just didn’t feel like the fit right now was where it needs to be.”Defensive assistant Scott McCurley, a former assistant linebackers coach, will take over Moss’ duties, with Patrick Graham already coaching inside linebackers.
