What Happened to the Lambeau Leap?
It’s already week eleven and the
Green Bay Packers have not conducted a single Lambeau Leap this season. This is
extremely concerning, the Lambeau Leap is a part of Packer tradition after a touchdown,
and not one single Packer has attempted to jump into the stands this year.
Now I know what all of you are
thinking, oh the Packers should be worried about scoring on offense instead of
celebrating after the fact. Well, here’s the deal buddy, you just don’t
understand. The Lambeau Leap is a staple and even though it hasn’t happened as
much as we would like it to in recent seasons, the Packers have never gone
until week eleven to conduct the iconic jump.
It does make some sense in certain
areas that Packer players haven’t elected to do the Lambeau Leap this season. Reason
one is the offensive production, but reason number two is probably the biggest considering
how young the offensive unit is. Hate Aaron Rodgers all you want, but as a veteran
and a leader of the team, he made sure the young guys were aware of how special
it is to wear the green and gold.
Maybe if the young guys were more
aware of the Lambeau Leap it would boost the offensive production. Jumping into
the stands and getting beer poured on you after a touchdown is so sick and
could be a nice little motivator for this struggling offense to score more
points. Veterans on the team like Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon, and even David
Bakhtiari should be getting in the young guys’ ears and telling them how dope
the Lambeau Leap truly is.

It’s a fun play and the Packers need
to take back ownership of it. Too many other teams have jumped in the stands
after scores, including the division rival Lions who mocked the leap by doing
after beating the Packers on Thursday Night Football earlier this season.

Make Lambeau Leap awareness a thing! We need to see the leap happen at some point this season sooner or later. If it doesn’t happen, it will be extremely upsetting because that means the tradition is dying, and the only guy who truly embraced being in green and gold every Sunday was Aaron Rodgers who isn’t on the team anymore.
Best.
