From the episode

I think Chris Brooks is better at doing that than Marshawn Lloyd is. I agree with Fitzy where you're probably still see a lot of Chris Brooks because of the pass protection.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Brooks' pass-protection value makes him the preferred back vs. Jets despite Lloyd's matchup grade.

Chris Brooks is expected to see significant snaps for the Packers against the Jets due to his superior pass-protection ability compared to Marshawn Lloyd, especially with the Packers' offensive line banged up and Aaron Banks likely unavailable.
