1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Packers Unscripted social 2 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: distancing Style from Packers dot Com. I am Mike Spoffer, 3 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: joined as always by my trusted colleague West Hodkowits West. 4 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: The Packers chalked up a big Week one victory on 5 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: the road against NFC North rival Minnesota forty three to 6 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: thirty four Sunday at US Bank Stadium and a lot 7 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: of places we could start with this one, but I 8 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 1: think you have to start with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, 9 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: he was magnificent. And this is one of these deals 10 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: where you and I talked to all training camp about 11 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: how good he looked in practice, how sharp he was, 12 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: his downfield accuracy. I thought all of those things translated 13 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: to the football field at US Bank Stadium, And then, honestly, 14 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: the third play of the game, he draws Minnesota offsides 15 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: and gets I mean, their own facility to convert a 16 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: third down situation. Uh, you know we're gonna go through 17 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: these motions up and down throughout the course of this season. 18 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: No season, you're not gonna put up five total yards 19 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: and forty three points and thirty plus first downs every 20 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: single week. But one of the things you and I 21 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: talked a lot about was the Packers virtual offseason program, 22 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: that preparation, and how that might help them get started 23 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: in this new unconventional season, and at least for one game, 24 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: at least for one week, I thought whether it was Rogers, 25 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: whether it was Davante Adams career performance out of him. 26 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: You know, Aaron Jones was really efficient in the second 27 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: half particularly. They used all these different tight ends, more 28 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: tight ends than they've ever used underneath math the floor 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: in a game. So many different things clicked for them, 30 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: and at the end of the day it end up 31 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: coming out with a really powerful offensive performance. Yeah, it's interesting. 32 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: We talked a lot obviously during training camp about Aaron 33 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: Rodgers looking back at old practice fill from and then 34 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: he talked about looking back at old film game film 35 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: of when he was in his hot stretches, things like that. 36 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: But he emphasized after the game and you know, three 37 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: and or sixty four yards, four touchdowns, a passer rating north. 38 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: He emphasized after the game that it really just comes 39 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: down to comfort in the offense. He was sort of 40 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: in a flow state, as he likes to say, right 41 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: from the beginning of the game. He had a handle 42 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: on the game plan and things other than you know, 43 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: some red zone failures, the goal line failure. Things were 44 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: the Packers weren't finishing drives earlier in the game, but 45 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: then they were finishing those drives as the game went along. 46 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: And I believe it was a stretch of six possessions 47 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: spanning the second to the fourth quarter where the Packers 48 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: had five touchdowns and six possessions. It's tough to get 49 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: much better than that. And as Rogers said in his 50 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: postgame news conference, when J. K. Scott only punts one time, 51 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, he had a pretty good day. What I 52 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: did like though about the offense though, Mike, you mentioned 53 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: the two red zone appearances first, not being able to 54 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: punch those in, but they were so efficient and they 55 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: really set up their punches. I felt really well in 56 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: this game. Early on, it was just about establishing momentum, 57 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: moving the chains, getting some of their stuff, you know, 58 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: their their end a rounds, working their pump, you know 59 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: those push passes that have become so popular, working the 60 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: running game, trying to wear down the Minnesota Vikings a 61 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: little bit. And then as the game wore on, that's 62 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: where you started to see the big plays happening. They 63 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: built off that they tied everything together, marrying the run 64 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: in the past, the big you know buzzwords we heard 65 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: all offseason. It really happened in this game. And it 66 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: was a comment that John Running made when he was 67 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: speaking to the media on Monday that really I thought 68 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: was really salient. Yeah, the Minnesota Vikings running had to 69 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: come in. We'll talk about the injuries there in a second, 70 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: but he was out there. You could hear everything that 71 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: everybody is saying in the Minnesota defenders were talking about 72 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: how frustrated they were with some of these passes out 73 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: into the flat, some of the stuff, these concepts that 74 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: they're working underneath as that war on and that frustrations 75 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: mounted and not having a home crowd to get you 76 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: back in it. I thought that that really played into 77 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: the Packers favor. Yeah. Absolutely. We saw the Packers using 78 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: a lot of misdirection early. The jet sweep action um 79 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: combined with some other play action where you're selling an 80 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: outside zone run. Then you throw kind of back against 81 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: the grain, so to speak, you know, with a with 82 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: a receiver. Usually it was Davante Adams cutting in from 83 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: the other side. A lot of a lot of moving 84 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: parts here with the Packers offense, and ultimately from from 85 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: the passing game standpoint, it produced a record tying performance 86 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: from Davantae Adams fourteen receptions. He matches Don Hudson's franchise 87 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: single game records set all the way back in ninety two, 88 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: seventy eight years ago, if my sports math is correct 89 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: there um. But interestingly, when Adams got to third team 90 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: receptions on Sunday, it was actually the third game in 91 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: his career that he's had thirteen receptions. Then he got 92 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: the fourteenth one on the big forty yard play down 93 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: the sideline to wipe out a holding penalty that had 94 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: made it first and twenty sets up the Packers for 95 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: for the clinching score there at the end of the game, 96 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: and Davante Adams has another spot in the Packers record book. Yeah, 97 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: if you want to have a good comment on this, 98 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: go talk to Ryan Hartwig, our social media manager. He's 99 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: been creating those graphics for Devonte tying that record for 100 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: four years now. It started in two thousand sixteen, and 101 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: he's just been that one catch away from it being, 102 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, and becoming a real reality. But the thing 103 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: I loved about Adams in this game, it encapsulated everything 104 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: that is great about him as a player. He's so 105 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: efficient with those out roads, especially on third downs, just 106 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: run into the sticks, cutting off when he needs to 107 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: and making sure that they are able to keep, you know, 108 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: moving the drive. He was explosive down the field. When 109 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: he had to do the go route down the sideline, 110 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: he was able to beat Holton Hill. I think holding 111 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: Hill that. I mean, you tip your cap to the 112 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: young man. It's not easy, you know, stepping in there 113 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: for Xavier Roads and Trey Wayne's but man, oh goodness, 114 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: I mean both of those young cornerbacks, him and Mike 115 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: Hughes just had a really rough day and the Packers, 116 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: to their credit, were largely able to take Harrison Smith 117 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: and Anthony Harris out of this thing and really win 118 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: underneath with some routes, some concepts there. Mark quez Belda 119 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: is scantling two big catches in between them. He had 120 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: two drops. He had to come back and get that 121 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: thirty nine yard one down the scene. He did that 122 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: move the chains at a critical time in which the 123 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: Packers really needed to put away the Minnesota Vikings. Alan Lazard, 124 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: you can't see enough about him. He's doing end a 125 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: rounds he's making critical you know, fifty fifty contested catches 126 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: down the stretch. You know, Josiah Deguara being able to 127 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: be used in all these ways. You know a G. 128 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: Dylan as kind of a thud there in the second half. 129 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: Tyler Irvin and the things that they used him every 130 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: week isn't going to go according to plan. But in 131 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: terms of this specific game plan, I don't really Other 132 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: than those early opportunities not being able to you know, 133 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: push that ball in the end zone, everything pretty much 134 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: went went went right for the Packers from a scheme perspective. Yeah, certainly, uh, 135 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: certainly that when you can produce forty three points on 136 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: the road against the division rival, obviously not having the 137 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: fans and the stands, and the way Aaron Rodgers was 138 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: able to draw the Vikings offside multiple times, hit a 139 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: big free play on one of those. Those are the 140 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: kinds of things you just don't see in road games 141 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: actually in indoor stadiums, and the Packers were able to 142 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: take advantage there. If there was uh some bad news 143 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: from Sunday, obviously it was the injuries and to the 144 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: to the Packers credit on the offensive line, they weathered 145 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: the storm there and you know, dealt with a lot 146 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: of moving parts. He started the game with Elton Jenkins 147 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: at right tackle in place of Billy Turner who was injured. 148 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: That meant Lucas Patrick stepped in at left guard for Jenkins, 149 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: his normal spot. But then Patrick ends up going out 150 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: with a shoulder injury, so Jenkins moves back to left 151 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: guard and Rick Wagner comes in at right tackle. Then 152 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: later in the game, Lane Taylor unfortunately goes down with 153 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: what we learned on Monday was a season ending knee injury. 154 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: So John Runyon, the rookie sixth round pick out of Michigan, 155 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: has to come off the bench and step in and 156 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: play the fourth quarter at right guard for the Packers. 157 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,559 Speaker 1: So a lot of adversity, a lot of moving parts 158 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: in this first game. But when you look at the results, 159 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: no matter what was going on, the Packers didn't miss 160 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: a beat up front. No penalties, four point nine yards 161 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: per carry, no penalties for the offensive line, just to clarify, 162 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: four point nine per carry for the running game on 163 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: the whole, and then no sacks. When Aaron Rodgers drops 164 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: back forty four times in a ballgame, that's a whale 165 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: of a performance. Certainly considering all the circumstances, well, multiple 166 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: things here, Mike, I have never been more convinced than 167 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: I think Elton Jenkins could start anywhere on the offensive 168 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: line and be serviceable. I mean, you have to look 169 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: at the Minnesota Vikings. They had to be really salivating 170 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: at the beginning of this game, not really sure who 171 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: was gonna be at right tackle, but knowing that you 172 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: have Unique and got way to be able to, you know, 173 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: rush against that guy. It didn't matter if Unique was 174 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: going up against the right tackle or obviously David Batr. 175 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: He wasn't getting anywhere. Bak Tr had that one clip 176 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: that went viral that I commented on where he got 177 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: blocked for five, six, seven, eight seconds and he was 178 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: still able to give Rogers the time he needed. Rick 179 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: Wagner has to come in after Lucas Patrick goes out. 180 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: He played well at that spot, especially with him coming 181 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: off of his own share of injuries last season. John 182 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: Runyon thrown into the fire for fifteen snaps after a 183 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: terrible injury for Lane Taylor, and Runyon holds down the 184 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: fort as a rookie sixth round pick who was playing 185 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: a new position. In mind, you didn't even rep that 186 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: position during training camp. He was only at left guard. 187 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: He never was lining up at right guard. Incredible job 188 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: by him, and that he didn't take any reps with 189 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: the first unit. He wasn't with the number one offense 190 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: all of training camps. He was with the reserve units. 191 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: He hadn't lined up next to Corey Lindsley, he hadn't 192 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: lined up with Aaron Rodgers in the huddle calling the 193 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: place that had not happened for John running and he 194 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: gets thrown in there in week one as a roop. Yeah, 195 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: and running. The guys he actually was running with ended 196 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: up being most of the guys that ended up not 197 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: playing in this game because of injuries or what have you. 198 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: So a credit to him, if I may might just 199 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: to throw out one thing there on Lane Taylor. This 200 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: is just such a sad and tragic thing to see 201 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: happen to this guy. I mean, I think very quietly 202 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: people don't really realize that Lane Taylor is the fourth 203 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: longest tenured player on this roster right now, not the offense, 204 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: the entire team. Uh. He had to come back from 205 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: that biceps injury last year, and before that he's competing 206 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: with Elton Jenkins, who might end up being a ten 207 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: twelve fourteen yard fourteen year veteran in this league. He 208 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: has that kind of ability, probably a pro bowler here. 209 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: At some point he had to compete with him for 210 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: his starting spot. He didn't care even when he was rotating. 211 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: He didn't really raise this giant you know, tantrum about 212 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: this situation, even though he'd been starting there for three 213 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: years already at that point. This is a guy that 214 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: was very professional. He restructured his contract, he came back 215 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: to Green Bay. He had something to prove. He and 216 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: his family had, you know, created roots here and for 217 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: him to be able to win the job back. People 218 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: don't really realize what that means because you didn't really 219 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: get a chance to see it in the preseason or 220 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: training camp. Lane Taylor might have taken more one on 221 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: one reps than any other veteran player during camp. He 222 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: was doing stuff that first and second year players do 223 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: to show not only was he deserving of a starting spot, 224 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: he was trying to get a roster spot back. He 225 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: did that. He made that competition at right guard now existent. 226 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: It was his job at the end of camp, and 227 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: for him to go down with this knee injury. It 228 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: just feel terrible for him, and and you just hope that, 229 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: you know, through this next year he's gonna be able 230 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: to get himself back up again. But I hope at 231 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: the end of the day, when everything is over, he 232 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: can at least look at what he did over this 233 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: past year and have some pride in it and what 234 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: he was able to accomplish and being able to pull 235 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: himself back up by his bootstraps get back out on 236 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: the football field and really get back to playing a 237 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: really high level of football after a pretty difficult injury 238 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: to begin with with that biceps tear. Yeah, absolutely, Lane 239 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: Taylor has plenty to be proud of. And the bottom 240 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: line is this is just a cruel game. And you know, 241 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: and you hate to see what happened to him, but um, 242 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: but the game just isn't fair sometimes. And and you know, 243 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: a good man, a hard working man who has overcome 244 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: so much just to get into the NFL, then to 245 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: become a starter, then he deals with injuries for multiple 246 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: years actually even before the biceps injury, and gets the 247 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: starting job back and now this happens, So your heart 248 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: really does go out to him, as Matt Lafleur said, 249 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: but switching gears to the defensive side of the ball, 250 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: we saw a lot of thumbs up and we saw 251 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: a lot of thumbs down, I guess you would say 252 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: on the defense for the Packers. The thumbs up was 253 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: that stretch in the second quarter west where a three 254 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: possession sequence for the Minnesota Vikings that starts when the 255 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: Packers get stuffed on goal to go, they can't punch 256 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: it into the end zone from the one yard line. 257 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: Jayra Alexander gets a sack and a safety. Next Vikings possessions, 258 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: Zadarius Smith gets a third down sack to force a 259 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: quick punt, and then the next Viking possession with less 260 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: than a minute left in the first half, Alexander gets 261 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: an interception on a poorly thrown pass to Adam Feland, 262 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: and the Packers capitalize on that with the long touchdown 263 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: forty five yard and Marquis Valdes scantling that sequence right there, 264 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: you get the safety. That's two points. Packers, I believe 265 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 1: kicked a um then kicked a field goal after the possession. 266 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: On the free kick, they scored a touchdown after the 267 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: Zadarius Smith sack, and then the touchdown after the interception. 268 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: That was the sequence that completely changed the game around 269 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: and put the Packers in command going into the locker 270 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: room at halftime. Yeah. What I love too is if 271 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,599 Speaker 1: you go back through my tweets the game, I was 272 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: just like praising Mike Petton for this play call and 273 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: sending Jiro Alexander on this corner bliss slot blitz, and 274 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: then we find out as soon as the game is 275 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: over that well, the reason why Alexander did that was 276 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: because Adam Feeling was motioning in and if you watch 277 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: the play over, it does look like the traditional receiver 278 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: moving back towards the line and then here comes the run. 279 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: So Jire Alexander with his four point three six speed 280 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: or whatever that is, just starts darting towards the quarterback. 281 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: Feeling goes out after you know, uh, Kirk Cousins moves 282 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: into the play action and then there is Jaire Alexander 283 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: right up in his business. I wrote it an insider 284 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: in box. Sometimes those happy accidents, they you know, they 285 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: worked to your favor. Fortunately for the Packers in that 286 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: case it did. But also the fact that Alexander came 287 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 1: back and got that interception at the end of the 288 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: second quarter, Minnesota was trying to find a way to 289 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: get going a little bit thirty nine seconds left and 290 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: a half and they throw one up. Alexander comes down 291 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: with it. Unfortunately for Green Bay, they weren't able to 292 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: get another stop when the Minnesota drove down again to 293 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: put points on the board. But Ji Alexander a brilliant 294 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: quarter of football by him, Zadarius Smith a big sack 295 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: in there as well to get a three and out. 296 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: That second quarter, the Packers dominated, but unfortunately, you know, 297 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: once Kenny Clark left that game with the groin injury 298 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: didn't return, Minnesota moves to its two minute offense pretty 299 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: much the entire second half, and the Packers just weren't 300 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: able to match that tempo. That's something I'm sure Mike Petton, 301 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: Jerry Gray, the defensive coaches are gonna look at this 302 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: week and figure out what they need to do, because, 303 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: especially if something is gonna happen here where you don't 304 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: have Kenny Clark, you got to start making decisions on 305 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: how you're gonna handle the front in those decisions obviously 306 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: have ramifications for the back end as well. Yeah, a 307 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: few other points I want to make on Alexander before 308 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: we move on to what you were just talking about. 309 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: With regard to the improv play there to get to 310 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: get the sack. Safety one, if you're gonna make something up, 311 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: do it fast and don't slow down right to make 312 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: sure it's on the quarterback's blind side so he can't 313 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: see what you're doing, because that definitely worked in his favor. 314 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: And then and then three with regard to his interception 315 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: right before the half, what a display of concentration with 316 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: the ball being deflected and coming down and feeling trying 317 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: to grab at it and Alexander, you know, trying to 318 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: making sure that it doesn't hit the ground. I thought 319 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: it was. It was a really really athletic and and 320 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: uh and you know, mentally mentally tough type of play 321 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: to be able to to to secure that ball and 322 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: and not let it get away. But with regard to 323 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: the Packers defense in the fourth quarter, I'm totally with us. 324 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: It felt like when the Vikings went hurry up and 325 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: when they went no huddle, cranked up the tempo, it 326 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: just felt like the Packers didn't match that didn't match 327 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: that speed, didn't match that urgency, didn't match that intensity, 328 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: and they were on their heels the the entire fourth quarter. 329 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: You don't want to give up the big forty and 330 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: fifty yard plays. That's the whole idea when you're up 331 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: multiple scores in the fourth quarter. But if you're gonna 332 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: give up twenty yards at a time, well, to twenty 333 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: yard plays equals a forty yard play and it only 334 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: takes an extra twenty seconds or so to do so. 335 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: You can't play defense like that either. Those are the 336 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: things the Packers are definitely going to be looking at 337 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: here on the defensive side of the ball as they 338 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: get ready for a Week two against Detroit. Yeah, and 339 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a big matchup, Mike. I don't 340 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: know if how much you got a chance to watch 341 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: the lines last week or go back and look at 342 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: that game other than you know, the disastrous way in 343 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: which it ended. But Adrian Peterson was still Adrian Peterson, 344 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: and the Packers have seen him a hundred times by now, 345 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: and this guy does not show any signs of slowing down, 346 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: especially in these matchups, in these NFC North, you know, 347 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: Black and Blue division kind of things. He's still right there. 348 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: So depending on what happens with Kenny Clark this week, 349 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to see the Packers do have options. Um, 350 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: certainly there there's movement you can make on the defensive line, 351 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: depending on the severity of it. But they also they 352 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: showed that base, that hybrid base, that that we saw 353 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: a lot during camp. I believe it's called Bronco where 354 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: you have the three outside linebackers on the field in 355 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: a base formation. With Rashaan Geary joining the Smiths. They 356 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,719 Speaker 1: were really successful with that in Spurts last week and 357 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 1: we saw it how dynamic it can be when you 358 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 1: move around. Is it Darius Smith? That may be an 359 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: option they have to make, But again, Kenny Clark is 360 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: such an huge integral part of what they do defensively. 361 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: If he's not going to be here for a bit, 362 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: Dean Lowrie, Tyler, Lancaster, Kingsley, Kiki, whoever, it's gonna take 363 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: stepping up there to hold down the fort. That would 364 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: be a huge challenge, especially with Peterson next week and 365 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamar and what follows after that. Yeah, no question 366 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,239 Speaker 1: about it. Well, I do want to talk about that 367 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: Bears Lions game because not only was it obviously a 368 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: big NFC North battle, but the Lions are the team 369 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: coming into lambeau Field in Week two, Detroit completely in 370 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: control west up by, you know, close to twenty points there, 371 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: I think, seven teen point lead in the fourth quarter. 372 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: The Bears have done nothing offensively all day long, and 373 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: suddenly three touchdown drives out of quarterback Mr Trubisky. The 374 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: Bears grabbed the lead. Stafford takes the Lions down and 375 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: has them in a position to win the game. Throws 376 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: a perfect pass to rookie running back DeAndre Swift that 377 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: he just flat out drops it in the end zone 378 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: with six seconds left, and the Bears escape Ford Field 379 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: with a victory. And uh, the Lions mean that is 380 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: a that's a gut punch of a loss to to 381 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: take in week one, and now they have to come 382 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: into lambeu Field and face another division rival trying to 383 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: avoid and owing to start. Yeah, and Matt Lafleur talked 384 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: about what I was kind of anticipating with this matchup there, 385 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: They're going to get a really angry Lions team. You know, 386 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,479 Speaker 1: the way I wrote it was that I think it's 387 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: gonna go one or two ways. It either could be 388 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: really disappointed and that could be kind of a hangover 389 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: going to this matchup, or They're gonna come in super 390 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: hungry and motivated. Given the expectations that I know they 391 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: have inside that building, I'm sure it's going to be 392 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: the ladder. But there is something to be said, Mike 393 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: about knowing how to win games, and it's something the 394 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions just haven't done a lot the last three years. 395 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 1: I saw that stat on Twitter a couple of days ago. 396 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: I mean, they were nine and seven that last year 397 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: under Jim Caldwell and so far they've only won nine 398 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: games since they moved on from him. So I'm not 399 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: saying you're a bad team and you find ways to lose, 400 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: but it just seemed like they weren't able to close 401 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: that door. And even though we're not talking about the 402 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears right now, the one thing I will say 403 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: about Mitchell Robinsky, I don't know if he's going to 404 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: be a franchise quarterback. I don't I don't know if 405 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: he has what it takes to to, you know, be 406 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: the face of an organization. But he's tough and he 407 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: does really have a lot of moxie and that's what 408 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: has allowed him to bounce back, and he did that 409 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: in that second half when he has a tight end. Mike. 410 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: I keep saying this, he's a different quarterback. Everyone made 411 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: the jokes about Jimmy Graham, but the fact of the 412 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: matter is he didn't have a tight end last year 413 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: and it showed in his performance. They got one again 414 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: and being able to have that outlet, I think it's 415 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: gonna be really important for him. As far as the 416 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, though they have a lot of options in 417 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: the backfield, a lot of question marks at other positions, 418 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: I'm curious what we're gonna see. But Matthew Stafford can 419 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: never be overlooked. Yeah. Well, I'll throw this out there 420 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: for you. Just in looking at Week one overall in 421 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: the NFL, I'm starting to wonder And I hinted at 422 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: this in my in my editorial that I wrote after 423 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: the game on Sunday, with the way Rogers being in 424 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 1: a road indoor venue is using, you know, the hard 425 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: count to get draw teams off sides. The Bears go 426 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: into an indoor Division rivals building and come back with 427 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: three fourth quarter touchdowns with no fans in the stands. 428 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: The Seattle Seahawks go into an indoor venue in Atlanta 429 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson puts up thirty eight points the lack 430 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: of home field advantage because of these no fans, limited fans, 431 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: that could start to become a real storyline here in 432 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: And I think Aaron Rodgers and what he did in 433 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: Minnesota is exhibit A, but there were some other exhibits. 434 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: You know, the evidences you know, might start to mount 435 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: here as we get into this season with with home 436 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: field advantage maybe not meaning a whole heck of a lot, Yeah, 437 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: and especially in these domes, Like I'm curious to see 438 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: how that plays out. You know, the people we weren't 439 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, but the folks I've talked about there said 440 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: it wasn't very loud. Whatever you and I heard at 441 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: these practices at lambeau Field, it didn't play out that way. 442 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: At us Bank. There wasn't this worry. Remember we were 443 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: talking about how worried they were gonna be that they're 444 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: gonna be going over the Desko limit. It doesn't sound 445 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: like they did. And obviously Aaron Rodgers was able to 446 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: draw three off sides and then there was a false 447 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: start on the you know, both tackles jumped from Minnesota. 448 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: So there there, that's gonna be something track I personally 449 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: am interested to see what this game feels like at 450 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: lambeau Field with with you know, the way that this 451 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: thing is built, the fact it is open air. Both 452 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: teams are gonna have to bring it. You're gonna have 453 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: to bring your own energy. And now those starts. As 454 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: much as I already made about how efficient the Packers 455 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: were early on, that did play along, I think into 456 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: their motivation and their momentum throughout this game too to 457 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: come up with that wind. Now you have to hold 458 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: serve at home. Yeah, absolutely well. We will talk more 459 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: about this week to match up in the Detroit Lions 460 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: later this week, but for now we will sign off 461 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: on this edition of Packers Unscripted.
