Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur did not mince words in describing their pre-season game loss to the New York Jets over the weekend.<\/p>\n

He thought it was a humbling experience as they came to the game with so much hype and optimism. Critics thought it was a game they should have won, too.<\/p>\n

Packeres appeared listless in the game, giving up a touchdown on the first few minutes of the game cared of Justin Fields.<\/p>\n

The first half finished at 17-3 in favor of the Jets. They tried to recover before the end of the fourth quarter but the lead was just too big to overcome and they eventually settled for a 30-10 loss.<\/p>\n

LaFleur said it was not the kind of product they want to sell and thought they committed to many errors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just sloppy football,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cToo many penalties, drops, missed tackles, bad decision making, and it really showed up in every phase of football.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt LaFleur found Anthony Belton promising<\/h2>\n

While some veterans flunked their pre-season test, LaFluer still has a good takeaway from it, especially from the young guns.<\/p>\n

One of those is rookie Anthony Belton who they picked 54th overall in the recent draft.<\/p>\n

Belton was used as a tackle and made a good account of his limited by being excelling in the position, especially as pass blocker.<\/p>\n

Even fans and observers thought he did a great job as a tackle.<\/p>\n

\n

Anthony Belton did three things last night in 42 snaps that we haven\u2019t seen a Packers offensive lineman do in a while.<\/p>\n

\n

Packers second-round pick Anthony Belton played 42 snaps at right tackle and, like Jordan Morgan, did not give up a single pressure as a pass-blocker. Belton was also the offensive line\u2019s second-highest graded run-blocker. A couple of encouraging performances from young OL.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) August 10, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

LaFleur is echoing these thoughts but there\u2019s another thing he is demanding from the young player \u2013 consistency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was some good and some thing that we absolutely have to clean up, just like many young players,\u201d the coach said when asked about Belton\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsistency is one of the things we have to work on with him. He flashes the ability, he flashes the talent, it\u2019s just a matter of time. He is getting better. There was some great plays in there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Packers will return to pre-season action on Saturday to face the Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n
