Speaker 2: That's gonna be a fun game coming up here in

00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: about a week.

11
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: But right now we head out to the KOA Common

00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: here on KOA.

15
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 2: Ryan Wood at Buy Ryan.

16
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: Wood on Twitter for the Green Bay Press Gazette is

17
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: joining us here on the program. Ryan, you're wrong with

18
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: a Jackson and Ryan Edward thanks so much for the time. Man,

19
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: How are you?

20
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 3: And can I just tell you how much delight your

21
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 3: current weather forecast gives me. I'm sitting here in Green Bay.

22
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 4: The temperatures last week against.

23
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: The Bears with flirt with single ditters, they got below

24
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: the teams and it feels like we've already gotten the

25
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: foot of snow. So you're telling me it's early spring

26
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: out there, signed me up for that.

27
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: It's remarkable, and I'd say a little bit unusual to

28
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: be in the sixties consistently like we've had this late

29
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: in December. But I'm with you, man, I'll take it

30
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: as long as we get it, because we certainly know.

31
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't have the frozen tundra like do

32
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: you guys have there in Green Bay. But I mean

33
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: you've been out here at Denver, I guess it's pretty cold.

34
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: So yes, very good stuff.

35
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely. I had no expectation that it would be

36
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: balmy when I went to December at Denver in the

37
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 3: middle of December, so I am beyond delighted. This is great.

38
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: So it's been a big topic out here.

39
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you guys been talking about

40
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: it out there, but it's been a big topic here

41
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: that the Green Bay Packers are favored here on the

42
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: road versus the Broncos, who are on a ten game

43
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: win streak.

44
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: What's your take on that.

45
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: I was a little surprised, but to be honest, not shocked,

46
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: because Vegas loves this Packers team. They have three losses

47
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: this year, two of them came as double digit favorites, which,

48
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: as you know, that's pretty rare. It's tough in this

49
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: league to be a double digit favorite, and of course

50
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: tough to lose twice in that fashion. So Vegas has

51
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: always loved this team. I think Vegas is the talent

52
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 3: on this roster. They have super Bowl talent. They haven't

53
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: always played up to that potential, but they are really

54
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: coming on strong fort raight wins over the past month.

55
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: Just in the past three weeks, knocked off each of

56
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 3: their NFC North opponents, which is significant for this team

57
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: because last year there won five in the NFC North

58
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: and now they are currently at four to oh the

59
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: only NFC team undefeated against their divisions, So they flip

60
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: the script there. But no, I just I'm not surprised

61
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: anymore when Vegas as the Packers as a favorite, because

62
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: they always have the Packers as a favorite.

63
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 5: You talk a little bit about Matt Lafleur. What makes

64
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 5: him such a great coach. He's in his seventh season,

65
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 5: He's won seventy six regular season games, already been a

66
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 5: winning coach every single Well, I guess he had an

67
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 5: eight to nine season there in twenty twenty two, but

68
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 5: he's been remarkably successful. What is it about him that

69
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 5: makes him so good?

70
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: Well, he knows Baul. He's a tremendous play caller and

71
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 3: played a designer, and you know he's not without his foibles.

72
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: He's the situation.

73
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 4: From Matt Lefluur is is the final year of his contract.

74
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 3: Is twenty twenty six. So this team president Ed Policy

75
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 3: is going to have to make a decision on Matt

76
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: Lafleur going into this offseason because he said Ed Policy said.

77
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 4: During the summer he does not want.

78
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: A lane duck situation. So in a lot of ways,

79
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: you know, when it was a month ago looking kind

80
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 3: of harry for him, there was some idea that he

81
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: might be coaching for his job, and I think that

82
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 3: still could be true. But he's also making one heck

83
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: of a statement with four straight wins with riding the offense,

84
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: it feels a lot like twenty twenty three for this Packers' offense.

85
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 3: Going back to that season, Jordan Love's first year. Midway

86
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: through the year, they were really dead in the water.

87
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: They did not look good. They made a trade at.

88
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 4: The deadline that year, acquiring.

89
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: An extra third round pick, and at the time it

90
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: wasn't crazy to think, well, do they need to package

91
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: something to get a quarterback? And that was the landscape

92
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: midway through twenty twenty three, and of course they finished

93
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: red hot and I've announced to everybody that he's a legitimate,

94
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: bona fide franchise quarterback.

95
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: It was cooler this year.

96
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: You score seven points at home against the Eagles. They've

97
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: lost three games this year, giving up sixteen points or less.

98
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 3: It was bad on that side of the ball. But

99
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 3: you look up now and they're getting healthier. Christian Watson's back,

100
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 3: Jane Reid returned last week. Jordan loves playing at a

101
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 3: much higher level. This has been his best season out

102
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: of the three replacing Aaron Rodgers, and the offenses is

103
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 3: turning it around again. I think Matt Laflour gets a

104
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: lot of credit for that.

105
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: Do you think his postseason success that will ultimately land

106
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: him a job extension or maybe failure making the Packers

107
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: think twice about giving him an extension.

108
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 3: I do.

109
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 4: If you took a snapshot a month ago after.

110
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: Losing back to back home games against the Panthers and

111
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 3: the Eagles in which the offense looked poor. It would

112
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: not have been good for Matt Lafleur. You take a

113
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 3: snapshot now, it looks a lot better for Matt Lafleur.

114
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: Neither snapshot matters.

115
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 3: Ultimately, what's going to matter for this team is January

116
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 3: the playoffs, because this is a franchise and this overrides

117
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: the entire season contextually for this team. Before the season,

118
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: one week before Week one, Ryan good Against, the general manager,

119
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: decided the time was now to go for it. He

120
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 3: traded his next two first round picks, a franchise that

121
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: clings the first round picks like they are gold themselves

122
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: for Micah Parsons. And that's not a trade you make

123
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: if you're just trying to be competitive. It's not a

124
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: trade you make if it's good enough to make the playoffs.

125
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: It's a trade you make if twenty twenty five a

126
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: super Bowl or bust. So how close they come to

127
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 3: those expectations is going to go a long way in

128
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: deciding that Whistler's future.

129
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 5: Can you talk a little bit about Micah Parsons and

130
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 5: the impact he's had over there, I mean, such a

131
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 5: dynamic player, but so much drama in Dallas now that

132
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 5: wasn't his fault. He got a fresh start in Green Bay.

133
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 5: What is the impact he's had on that team?

134
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: It's really hard to describe. You can't overemphasize just how

135
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 3: impactful a pass rusher of his magnitude is for a

136
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: defense and for Micah Parsons, it was really tough to

137
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: live up to expectations. Again, a franchise that cleans the

138
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 3: first round picks, gives up their next two, and you

139
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: come in with rock star reputation. I mean one of

140
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: before the season, one of two players ever have a

141
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: dozen sacks in each of your first four NFL seasons.

142
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 3: And the other guy is Reggie White, who Packers fans

143
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: obviously know very well, and he's if he's he's at

144
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 3: least met the expectations, if not superseded them. Now is

145
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: the only player in NFL history with at least a

146
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: dozen sacks in his first five seasons. And the amount

147
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 3: of double even triple teams that he gets from snap

148
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 3: to snap. I've never seen anything like it before. And

149
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 3: he's still able to get home and create havoc week,

150
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: get pressures, obviously, get sacks. It's like watching a video

151
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 3: game on easy mode.

152
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: A lot of the time chat with Ryan Wood, who

153
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: covers the Packers out in Green Bay. I want to

154
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: talk about Jordan Love for here for a second, because

155
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: he's on a bit of a Terris you guys all

156
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: know out there. Seven touchdowns, one interception, last two games,

157
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: big time wins at Troit.

158
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: And then home against Chicago.

159
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: Is there something that is different about Jordan Love over

160
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks that you hadn't seen earlier

161
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: in the season, or has he been pretty consistently this

162
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: guy just once in a while there's been some bad matchups.

163
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: No, if you're just talking about the last month, I

164
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: think it's a lot more about just his receivers are

165
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: making more plays and being more consistent around him. Identifying

166
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: Christian Watson as a bona fide number one wide out

167
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: and going to him more is obviously been big for

168
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: this quarterback in this offense. Getting Jada Reid back last week,

169
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: Dontavian Wich, what he was able to.

170
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: Do as kind of a forgotten guy in this.

171
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: Offense on Thanksgiving in Detroit with two huge fourth down

172
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: catches the first me and a touchdown the second clinching game.

173
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 3: It's more about that recently than Jordan Love because Jordan

174
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: Love his play has been high for a while.

175
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 4: Now, Now, what's the difference in.

176
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: This third season for Jordan Love compared to last year

177
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: when he did struggle. One, He's healthy and last year

178
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: all seasons, starting in Week one with the Spring to

179
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 3: NCL and Brazil against the Eagles, his lower base was

180
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: not healthy.

181
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 4: An accuracy four.

182
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: Quarterback comes from the lower base, and it just it

183
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 3: was a direct correlation. Two. Now that he is healthy,

184
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: he's got a huge arm. He's always aggressive, he's not

185
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 3: afraid to use it, and he's been able to.

186
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 4: Really come close to mastering the trick for.

187
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: Any quarterback, which is making big plays efficiently.

188
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: Right.

189
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 4: He's explosive and.

190
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: Efficient, only four interceptions this season, taking great care of

191
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 3: the football. He's playing at a very high level. I mean,

192
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: it's kind of funny like he's gotten some MVP consideration

193
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 3: this week and it's kind of like he's the third

194
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 3: MVP candidate. And what clearly around the league is a

195
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 3: two horse race, which Rake May and Matthew Stafford. He

196
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: doesn't really have a realistic shot of smissing the MVP,

197
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: but he's top top five finish is certainly within the

198
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 3: realm of realistic for him and for your third year,

199
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: considering the shoes he had to fill. It's it's pretty good.

200
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 5: So a quarterback's best friend is a good running game,

201
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 5: and you guys have a good running game and a

202
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 5: good running back in Josh Jacobs. He's a little banged up.

203
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 5: He's got a need that he's trying to manage. Could

204
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 5: you talk a little bit about his status for the

205
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 5: game and also just offensive line in general and their

206
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 5: readiness for this game.

207
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: I would be very surprised if Josh Jakers did not play.

208
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 4: He is the closest thing the league has right now.

209
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 3: To a pure war course. I mean, he'll fight somebody.

210
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 3: If you try to keep him off the field, he'll

211
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 3: fight something you try to keep him out of practice.

212
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 3: The Packers finally did get him to miss some practices

213
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: this week, but then he returned today. He's limited and

214
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 3: Mattliffler said today that he's feeling pretty good, and Josh

215
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 3: Jacobs is feeling pretty good.

216
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 4: He's going to play.

217
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean that the knee is all the way

218
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 3: back and it's bulky, it's tender, it's sore, but he's

219
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: going to play through it. And that's what we know

220
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: about Josh Jacobs. As far as the offensive line, it

221
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 3: has been such a work in progress all season. The

222
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: current iterations in no way resemblant of the way that

223
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: they drawed it up in the off season. Elton Jenkins,

224
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: who they slid over to center to start the year,

225
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: he's done for the year with a fractured leg. They've

226
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 3: finally put second round rookie Anthony Belton in at right guard,

227
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 3: replacing twenty twenty four first round pick Jordan Morgan, who

228
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 3: has really shown to not be a guard. He's a

229
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 3: left tackle. They've experimented with Jordan Morgan being inside and

230
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: he just he doesn't have the heft, he doesn't have

231
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 3: the power inside. He's a left tackle. He's a very athletic.

232
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: But in the run game, you're giving up a lot.

233
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: So they with Sean Ryan replacing Elton Jenkins Anthony Belton

234
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: at right guard. Those two guys, they're big dudes. They

235
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 3: put a lot of power in the run game. They're

236
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 3: giving up something in pass protection. But in this league,

237
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 3: quarterbacks dictate pass rush. Obviously. I don't have to tell you,

238
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: but you've seen it all year with this Broncos front.

239
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 4: Much more than the offensive line.

240
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 3: So there is a ton of responsibility and pressure on

241
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 3: Jordan Love this week to be good with getting into

242
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: the right protections, getting knowing where the hots are getting

243
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 3: rid of the ball on.

244
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 4: Time, because this offensive line is right.

245
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 3: To be picked on in the pass game, but they've

246
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: been much better in the run.

247
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: Last one I have for you, Ryan always appreciates the time,

248
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: So I would love to know how the Broncos are

249
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: being viewed out there, and especially knowing that you guys

250
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: have a huge game coming up next Saturday at the

251
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. I mean, because you've just played the Bears

252
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: last week and then you got the Broncos sort of

253
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: sandwiched in between these two really big games against the Bears.

254
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 2: So for fans of.

255
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: The Packers, or are they kind of looking at this

256
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: as like, all right, do what you can, go try

257
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: to get that win, but boy, we got this massive

258
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: game against the Bears on the other side. Or is

259
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: this like, hey, maybe a super Bowl preview conversation in

260
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: this matchup against the Broncos.

261
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 3: I don't think any question that could be a super

262
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: Bowl preview.

263
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 4: It's a huge game for the Packers because of.

264
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 3: That tie on their schedule. It really renders head to

265
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: head tiebreakers new and right now they're a half game

266
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 3: up on the Bears. What a treat for us that

267
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: this matchup is, But what an incredible disservice the NFL

268
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 3: schedule makers gave to the Packers this week. It'd be

269
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: one thing, if you know, it's enough. Playing the Chicago

270
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 3: Bears twice in three weeks is tough on its own,

271
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 3: but the sandwich hit with a trip to Denver against

272
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 3: this team and that defense.

273
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 4: That is a tall task.

274
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 3: But you know, at the end of the day, if

275
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 3: the Packers lose this game and the Bears, who have

276
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 3: the Browns this week, a much easier matchup for them.

277
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 3: If they win, they're going back to Chicago next week

278
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: after beating the Bears in a huge matchup last week,

279
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 3: with needing to win the pull into.

280
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 4: First place in the NFC North again.

281
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 3: So it's a huge game for this team, even if

282
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 3: it's not a divisional game.

283
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 4: I'll be very fascinated to see that.

284
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: The Broncos up close, and I think everyone at this

285
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 3: point knows that that defense has a lot of juice.

286
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 3: But this really these two teams are very similar to

287
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 3: each other. Two great defenses, two offenses that really aren't

288
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 3: going to scare either defense rightly. So the difference to

289
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 3: me is just one quarterback's much further along right now

290
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 3: than the other in Jordan Love, and I think Jordan

291
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: Love needs to be that difference this week. The Broncos

292
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: pass rush and their run defense, their defensive front can

293
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 3: have something to say about that. If he is that difference, I.

294
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: Think the Packers have a good chance to win.

295
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 3: But obviously that Broncos defense can wreck games in a hurry.

296
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: Ryan really appreciate it, man, Thank you so much for

297
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: the time. Enjoy your time out here in Denver. When

298
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: you get out here and say fly man, and.

299
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 3: I am so tempted to wear shorts. I don't think

300
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 3: I'm going to, but the thought has crossed my mind.

301
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's about fine.

302
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, I think we're in the fifties

303
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: and the sun is down, so I think you'd probably

304
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: be good for that.

305
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 3: That's like eighty degrees on Green Bay weather right now.

306
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 3: That's what I feel.

307
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 4: Lovely, We'll see you guys out there all right.

308
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: That's good.

309
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, Ryan Wood. Really good stuff always.

310
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: I like Ryan adds by Ryan Wood on Twitter, So

311
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: make sure you give a follow there
