Speaker 1: Hi everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford. He the one and only West
Speaker 1: Hog Kuits. We are coming to you here from our
Speaker 1: studios at lambeau Field West Week one. It is Bears
Speaker 1: Week Sunday Night football to kick off the season the
Speaker 1: Packers one season lambeau Field, a primetime game on our
Speaker 1: Wednesday show. Traditionally, we take a look at the opponent,
Speaker 1: try to take a closer look at them on both
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. So with the Chicago Bears, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what it doesn't just start with the fact
Speaker 1: that Mitch Trobinsky is in year two now as the
Speaker 1: supposed future franchise quarterback here for Chicago, given what they
Speaker 1: invested in him. But he has an entirely new group
Speaker 1: of receivers to throw to. We talked about it last year,
Speaker 1: the Bears were going to have to do something about
Speaker 1: their receiving corps. Well they did. They revamped the whole
Speaker 1: thing in the off season. I think, uh, if the
Speaker 1: Bears were I think they'd say the same thing. There
Speaker 1: was a there was a dearth of talent there for
Speaker 1: about two three seasons these past few years, and I
Speaker 1: think what they this past year, they feel like they
Speaker 1: saw enough from Mitchell Trubisky to convince them that they
Speaker 1: can press forward. You know, we talked about the Cleil
Speaker 1: Mack trade earlier this week on defense, but offensively, that
Speaker 1: was the biggest storyline this year, Mike is you know
Speaker 1: them bringing in alec Allen Robinson. Um, you know, Taylor
Speaker 1: Gabriel's in this offense. Now, certainly you have Jordan Howard
Speaker 1: and Terak Coleman as there one two in the backfield,
Speaker 1: but giving him more, given Troubisky more perimeter options was
Speaker 1: an obvious emphasis in the off season, and you know
Speaker 1: they're banking on Robinson being able to put his knee
Speaker 1: injury behind him and get back on the trajectory. It
Speaker 1: looked like he was on in Jacksonville and also a
Speaker 1: young guy like Kevin White they drafted, i believe now
Speaker 1: three years ago and one of the number seven overall pick,
Speaker 1: top ten pick out of West Virginia. There's a there's
Speaker 1: a lot of hope there as well with him. So
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting now to see what Traubinsky, with
Speaker 1: a little bit more experience and with some you know,
Speaker 1: bigger targets outside what he can do with all of it. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: the Bears it just for whatever reason, it took them
Speaker 1: a couple of years to replace Brandon Marshall, el Shan
Speaker 1: Jeffrey because they did have a pretty good receiving corps
Speaker 1: not that long ago. But it's just taken a while
Speaker 1: to get back to this point. And one of the
Speaker 1: interesting facets I think of this group obviously Allen Robinson
Speaker 1: a big, big bodied receiver, um, you know, a real
Speaker 1: physical guy, as you said, coming back from the knee injury.
Speaker 1: But the other aspect of this group when you look
Speaker 1: at it now is the speed. Taylor Gabriel is one
Speaker 1: fast dude. And then they drafted Anthony Miller out of
Speaker 1: Memphis with I believe was it third round or second round,
Speaker 1: second round? He was projected as a third round They
Speaker 1: took him in the in the second round. But this
Speaker 1: is a speedy guy, deep threat type of receiver, at
Speaker 1: least that's what his profile was in college. So there's
Speaker 1: a lot of speed now on the outside, uh and
Speaker 1: in the slot for that matter. For the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1: This is going to be a different type of matchup
Speaker 1: for the Packers DVS. I'm glad you brought that up
Speaker 1: too much because obviously you can look at you know,
Speaker 1: Robinson and Gabriel and the veteran weapons that are there now,
Speaker 1: but it is they put a lot of resources through
Speaker 1: the draft in the offense as well. Anthony Miller, for
Speaker 1: my money, he was one of the prospects I was
Speaker 1: most intrigued by. If you're familiar with his story, he
Speaker 1: was a walk on at Memphis. He's from the Memphis area,
Speaker 1: had no division one offers whatsoever, and then he ends
Speaker 1: up putting together a record breaking career I believe broke
Speaker 1: most of, if not all of like Tory whatnot? Who
Speaker 1: was who was it? Isaac Bruce's records that sounds at Memphis,
Speaker 1: And you know, he was a guy you talked about,
Speaker 1: a guy that remember at the NFL scouting combine, I
Speaker 1: talked to him and being a part of his podium,
Speaker 1: and at that time, people are thinking maybe third or
Speaker 1: fourth round, and he just kept climbing and climbing and climbing. Uh.
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of hope there. So I think
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that they're looking for with with him.
Speaker 1: Adam Shaheen also they drafted, but then he ended up
Speaker 1: getting hurt the really big tight end. Yeah, from I
Speaker 1: believe the FCS Router Division two route, um, whatever the
Speaker 1: case may be. They have some veterans there and some
Speaker 1: young guys that they're looking to complement them with well.
Speaker 1: And this is interesting because when you talk about Packers Bears,
Speaker 1: obviously there's all the history and everything that goes into
Speaker 1: the rivalry, but with what the Bears have done at
Speaker 1: wide receiver and what the Packers have done at cornerback,
Speaker 1: you're looking at a whole new setup of matchups in
Speaker 1: this rivalry. Now, Kevin King is really the only the
Speaker 1: only member of the Packers as far as the top
Speaker 1: four cornerbacks who has played against the Bears in the
Speaker 1: last three years. Because you have Tremont Williams who hasn't
Speaker 1: played for the Packers since, and you have Jure Alexander
Speaker 1: Josh Jackson being the rookie draft picks. And we've talked
Speaker 1: about all these new receivers for the Bears. So these
Speaker 1: matchups on the perimeter here with Mitch Drabinsky calling the
Speaker 1: shots at quarterback, just a co fletely new set of
Speaker 1: um of confrontations in this matchup. And we saw during camp,
Speaker 1: you know, Mike Petton. You started to get a sense
Speaker 1: for what he's gonna do with the defensive front, what
Speaker 1: he's looking for from those inside linebackers. The secondary, to me,
Speaker 1: is still the biggest unknown, uh not because there isn't
Speaker 1: enough talent there. I think now they've really renovated that spot,
Speaker 1: and there's so many options both at cornerback slot, nickel cornerback,
Speaker 1: what they want to do with their safeties. I think
Speaker 1: Josh Jones is a guy that could be moving a
Speaker 1: lot around this defense this year. Um maybe not necessarily
Speaker 1: is that hybrid linebacker, but even in the slot of
Speaker 1: the nickel and dimes sub packages. So yeah, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting to see a guy like Trumont Williams now
Speaker 1: at thirty five years old, twelve years into his NFL career.
Speaker 1: By all accounts, Mike, the Packers are ready to play
Speaker 1: him at boundary cornerback. We've covered this league a lot
Speaker 1: longer than I have. I was talking to him about
Speaker 1: this a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I recall that a lot of times when guys getting
Speaker 1: to their middle later thirties, they're still playing that position
Speaker 1: there in the slot, like Charles Woodson, was. Trumon Williams
Speaker 1: is a different kind of guy though. He's a different
Speaker 1: kind of football player, and it's gonna be interesting to
Speaker 1: see what he can do. Kevin King came back with
Speaker 1: the shoulder injury from the shoulder injury in that preseason
Speaker 1: finale against Kansas City. Appears have checked out fine there,
Speaker 1: and then Jare Alexander and Josh Jackson balled out the
Speaker 1: entire preseason. A lot from Mike Petton to play with, Yeah,
Speaker 1: no question about it. Well, I want to get to
Speaker 1: talking a little bit about the Bears on the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball, But first a little sponsored business
Speaker 1: at home or here in the stands. We all know
Speaker 1: that Green Bay fans give it their all and that
Speaker 1: takes a lot of energy. So grab a warm bowl
Speaker 1: of Campbell's Chunky Soup. It's meaty goodness fuels the greatness
Speaker 1: of Packers fans everywhere. Try the delicious classic chicken noodle soup.
Speaker 1: Just visit your local supermarket and ask for Campbell's Chunky
Speaker 1: super official sup partner of the Green Bay Packers. Okay,
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball for the Bears, all the
Speaker 1: talk is about Khalil Mack obviously, for obvious reasons, but
Speaker 1: you know what, this is a guy, This is a
Speaker 1: pass rusher who's coming into a defense that's actually been
Speaker 1: pretty good at getting after the quarterback. A Keem Hicks,
Speaker 1: Leonard Floyd. You throw in a top ten draft pick
Speaker 1: in ro Kwan Smith at linebacker there. Uh, this this
Speaker 1: is an interesting mix now when you add Mac to
Speaker 1: the bunch, because I think the Bears were feeling pretty
Speaker 1: good about their defense and now they're really excited about
Speaker 1: their defense when they add the pass rusher from Oakland. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and with all due respect to that defense and what
Speaker 1: they have, you know, they're considering what Vic Fangio has
Speaker 1: done with that unit the last two years when it
Speaker 1: just didn't seem like they really had a consistent number
Speaker 1: one pass rusher, when there was a lot of questions
Speaker 1: in their secondary. They've they've had a really good marriage
Speaker 1: right here between what Ryan Pace has been able to
Speaker 1: bring in as far as prospects. When you look at
Speaker 1: Eddie Jackson coming in a protege of of Hahaklinton Dix
Speaker 1: and another safety product out of Alabama. The impact he
Speaker 1: made last year coming off the broken leg Kyle Fuller
Speaker 1: obviously meant enough to them for them to match the
Speaker 1: offer sheet that he'd signed with Green Bay. He's still
Speaker 1: in their plans. He's still in their secondary. Prince and Mukamara,
Speaker 1: I mean he signed a couple of years ago. Uh,
Speaker 1: so you've seen it settle a little bit. But I
Speaker 1: think they were looking for that one guy to kind
Speaker 1: of put them over the top, and they feel like
Speaker 1: that guy is gonna be Klail Mack. And if you
Speaker 1: go off track record, it would indicate that this is
Speaker 1: the type of playmaker that they probably did need to
Speaker 1: take them to another level. So the football fan of
Speaker 1: me is really excited to see how this is going
Speaker 1: to play out. But but certainly, you know, for the
Speaker 1: NFC North and the NFC in general, that's a that's
Speaker 1: a big guy, that's a big target, and you know
Speaker 1: he's obviously going to be gunning for your quarterback. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm the Packers, obviously I'm looking at,
Speaker 1: you know, figuring out how to protect Aaron Rodgers and
Speaker 1: whatnot with with these pass rushers the Bears have, because
Speaker 1: they are rather formidable. But I'm also looking at that
Speaker 1: Chicago secondary and saying, maybe that dark question that might
Speaker 1: be that might be where the question marks are on
Speaker 1: this defense. Kyle Fuller, a veteran cornerback. Now, the Packers
Speaker 1: tried to sign him in the off season. They signed
Speaker 1: him to an offer sheet as a restricted free agent,
Speaker 1: but the Bears matched it, and uh and he stayed
Speaker 1: in Chicago. And then you mentioned Eddie Jackson, I think,
Speaker 1: a young up and coming talent at safety, but the
Speaker 1: other as a Mukamara and Adrian Amos who's the other
Speaker 1: safety along with Jackson and a Mukamara at corner. A
Speaker 1: couple of different types of guys there. And that Mukamara
Speaker 1: some people would say maybe he's passed his prime, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe on the downside of his career. And then Amos,
Speaker 1: you know, still somewhat a young guy, but rather unknown
Speaker 1: in terms of maybe just where his career is headed.
Speaker 1: So some question marks there. The Bears are going to
Speaker 1: be counting on those guys to hold up, you know,
Speaker 1: on the back end, with the with the real the
Speaker 1: full strength of that defense being in the front seven,
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to see how it plays. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's that's the ultimate question going into this time of year.
Speaker 1: But it is interesting though too, and that I got
Speaker 1: to give them credit. While there are questions there. They've
Speaker 1: stuck with their guys, I mean, McManus, Callahan, Fuller, They've
Speaker 1: all been in this defense for years now, so they're
Speaker 1: they're basing their their potential for this group off that
Speaker 1: experience and also seeing where a guy like Rocan Smith
Speaker 1: can go throughout the course of a year. It seemed
Speaker 1: to me, going back to the draft last year, that
Speaker 1: was probably the biggest unkept secret that that he would
Speaker 1: potentially be fitting in there because yeah, they'd signed, you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, they had Danny Trevathan, They
Speaker 1: made some moves there, but they really wanted a guy
Speaker 1: for the future at that spot, and they feel like
Speaker 1: Smith could be that guy. So seeing how that young
Speaker 1: talent meshes and how quickly Vick fanj you have can
Speaker 1: give them up to speed, not only in this game
Speaker 1: but going on the rest of the season. As much
Speaker 1: as we've make out of Mac and Rabinsky and those
Speaker 1: main facets, it's ultimately going to come down a lot
Speaker 1: of times to those complementary pieces. Yeah, what's your sense
Speaker 1: of how this Packers offensive line matches up past protection
Speaker 1: wise against this front, because we saw in out in Oakland.
Speaker 1: Brian Bulaga held his own absolutely just fine against Khalil Mac. Now,
Speaker 1: Bolag is coming back from an a c L. Now,
Speaker 1: you know limited a little bit through training camp in
Speaker 1: the preseason obviously, but this is a veteran guy who's
Speaker 1: come back from an a c L before, and he's
Speaker 1: faced Khalil Mac before. You have the All Pro and
Speaker 1: David back try at left tackle, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the Packers feel really good about their interior with Lindsley
Speaker 1: flanked by Taylor and McCrae, they're at guards. You know
Speaker 1: this is going to be a big challenge for them,
Speaker 1: but certainly not one that they're going to blink by
Speaker 1: all indications of Packers will have all five those starting
Speaker 1: offensive linemen together. I know so much gets made out
Speaker 1: of the reps during the preseason, the reps during training camp.
Speaker 1: They didn't get a lot of those together as a
Speaker 1: full group. But at the same time, the story I
Speaker 1: always go back to his Corey Linsley in two thousand fourteen,
Speaker 1: the expectations for that team and J. C. Treader was
Speaker 1: supposed to be the man at center. Well Treader ends
Speaker 1: up having an injury, he's wiped out. Lindsley never even
Speaker 1: ends up taking a snap with Aaron Rodgers until that
Speaker 1: first game against Seattle, and then you see where that
Speaker 1: offensive line went the rest of the year. Well, and
Speaker 1: even look at ten Josh Sitton ends up getting released
Speaker 1: right at the end of training camp and Lane Taylor
Speaker 1: steps in it it was like nothing happened. There's there's
Speaker 1: there's been some smooth transitions in what looked like some
Speaker 1: potentially rocky spots. Absolutely, and I'm glad you asked that
Speaker 1: question about Mac because it was asked to me an Inbox, like, well,
Speaker 1: what is Brian Blaga? Is he ready for for Khalil Mack?
Speaker 1: And the thing I came back with is is Khalil
Speaker 1: Mac ready for Brian Bla Because I mean, if you
Speaker 1: go back to what happened in Oakland, I think people
Speaker 1: forget that storyline a little bit. Uh. Khalil Mack was
Speaker 1: lighting the world on fire. He had nine sacks and
Speaker 1: three games going into the Raiders game. Before that game,
Speaker 1: the question was being asked of Box tri and Bologa,
Speaker 1: what are you anticipating with this guy? And the Packers
Speaker 1: end up winning that contest, and while Mac did end
Speaker 1: up with one sack, he was pretty much negated most
Speaker 1: of that contest Brian Blaga being able to get those
Speaker 1: reps last week. I wrote about it our our Locker
Speaker 1: Room Report. I just think that's so valuable for him
Speaker 1: to at least get a little bit of a taste
Speaker 1: of what it's gonna be like next to Justin McCrae.
Speaker 1: McCrae played Bolog's position for the second half of last season,
Speaker 1: so he knows what Bolag is gonna one out of
Speaker 1: him now being at right guard. I just I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a really good chess match. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be great to see Bok t R And bologging together again.
Speaker 1: Because really, Mike, as much as we make out of
Speaker 1: the quarterback in the pass rusher in the safeties and
Speaker 1: cornerbacks and the importance in today's game about that, you
Speaker 1: need two bookends. Now, the Packers were ahead of that curve.
Speaker 1: They understood that going back two and fourteen, and they've
Speaker 1: benefited from that now with a you know, their franchise
Speaker 1: quarterback behind it. Well, it's quite a way to kick
Speaker 1: off the season. Sunday night Football prime time under the
Speaker 1: lights at Lambeulfield. The new led lights at both Field
Speaker 1: will throw that in as well. But um one other
Speaker 1: thing I want to get to as a little bit
Speaker 1: of a wrap up to training camp here before we
Speaker 1: go today. You've made it a tradition here since you
Speaker 1: joined us at packers dot com and in your days
Speaker 1: at the newspaper as well, writing a one of those
Speaker 1: training camp bike riding stories every summer. And it took
Speaker 1: a little while for this one to come together, but
Speaker 1: you got one. You've got one up on our website
Speaker 1: now is kind of a wrap up to training camp
Speaker 1: with regards to Mason Crosby and a couple of really
Speaker 1: special bike riders that he got to know. Tell us
Speaker 1: about it well. First off, I have to actually give
Speaker 1: credit to Haley Helmley from our Brandon marketing department on
Speaker 1: this when she actually came up with the story idea.
Speaker 1: I can't claim it, but she had mentioned to me
Speaker 1: on the first day Crosby every year at first Practice,
Speaker 1: he always rides down with the Dream Drive initiative with
Speaker 1: a child with a physical disability, and typically it's with
Speaker 1: a modified bike where you don't use your feet for pedaling.
Speaker 1: Usually you'll use your hands. And Haley had mentioned and
Speaker 1: she's like, you know, it's really incredible seeing Crosby at
Speaker 1: this juncture of his career is still doing this because,
Speaker 1: as you know, when veterans reach a certain point, they're
Speaker 1: no longer obligated to be out there. And to some extent,
Speaker 1: I don't think you want Aaron Rodgers out there because
Speaker 1: he's just gonna get mobbed by people. But but Crosby
Speaker 1: it's an important thing for him. And he mentioned, you know,
Speaker 1: his children now come out. He's ridden with his children.
Speaker 1: I know. I believe Lane Taylor has done that as well.
Speaker 1: It's emotional, you know, and and what a way to
Speaker 1: start off camp. What a way to start off you know,
Speaker 1: the summer. And basically what happened is I ended up
Speaker 1: finding two different families. One of them was Francis Collie.
Speaker 1: His family. He was the child that that road with
Speaker 1: Mason during the first camp practice UM from the Milwaukee area,
Speaker 1: from Wallatosa, Milwaukee, and he he was diagnosed at an
Speaker 1: early age UM he has the syndrome I believe referred
Speaker 1: to tetra amelia, which is where you're born without basically
Speaker 1: your limbs. And I was talking to his father John
Speaker 1: about it and how emotional that was for him and
Speaker 1: his wife. That was their firstborn at the time. The
Speaker 1: first ultrasound confirmed that diagnosis, and they worried what life
Speaker 1: was going to be like for him. But if you've
Speaker 1: seen photos of him and just videos of him, he
Speaker 1: is such a cute personality. He's such a go getter
Speaker 1: and he doesn't let anything stop him. The one thing
Speaker 1: that was kind of inhibiting him though a little bit,
Speaker 1: was that he couldn't ride a bike. So through a
Speaker 1: partnership with a number of different entities, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: have time to get into all of them, they were
Speaker 1: able to create a modified bike for him. He was
Speaker 1: able to go down with practice with Crosby. And the
Speaker 1: coolest story that John told was that, you know, they
Speaker 1: were watching a preseason game later in training camp in
Speaker 1: in you know Francis who's four years old. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: there's there's Mason Crosby, like he recognized them and has
Speaker 1: a new favorite player there. And then I also talked
Speaker 1: to Jenny Dickens in the Dickens family, who's actually from
Speaker 1: Wisconsin but they transplanted down to Tennessee and her son,
Speaker 1: nine year old Matthew made it a goal. After seeing
Speaker 1: one of the live streams on packers dot Com of
Speaker 1: the bike riders coming down that he wanted to come
Speaker 1: up to Wisconsin. He wanted to ride bikes with Mason Crosby,
Speaker 1: his favorite player, because about four years ago he asked
Speaker 1: some family members, well, who who's who scores the most points?
Speaker 1: They said Crosby, and he had a new fan and
Speaker 1: and if you go on you can go on packers
Speaker 1: dot Com. Read the whole story and his experience. But
Speaker 1: again one of the reasons that and this goes back
Speaker 1: to I think two thousand fifteen, I was still at
Speaker 1: the Press Gazette and it was Shaun Smith I was
Speaker 1: working with on her agency XM Sports with Casey Hayward.
Speaker 1: I did this for the first time in his background,
Speaker 1: in the connection he had with his rider, it's such
Speaker 1: a special special connection that those guys have. And well
Speaker 1: Crosby doesn't have a set rider, and he also doesn't
Speaker 1: ride any day every day anymore. It's still very important
Speaker 1: to him and and obviously got a got a lot
Speaker 1: out of it. Yeah, I just love the images I
Speaker 1: was reading through your story and with regards to the
Speaker 1: Dickens family in Tennessee, I love the image of this
Speaker 1: family tossing their kids bike in the in the back
Speaker 1: of the band or the truck or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: And you know, trucking all the way up to Green
Speaker 1: Bay from Tennis. I mean what that has to be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna say at least at least eight hours each
Speaker 1: way driving all the way up here. And uh and
Speaker 1: he the kid, Matthew, he made a sign right so
Speaker 1: to to try to let Crosby know that that, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm here all the way from Tennessee so that you
Speaker 1: can ride my bike. Not just anybody, but you, you're
Speaker 1: my favorite player. And um, and then from your story,
Speaker 1: it sounds like Crosby Crosby didn't actually come out the
Speaker 1: first day that Matthew was there. But but Hunter Bradley,
Speaker 1: the long snapper, saw the sign and either during practice
Speaker 1: after practice at some point mentioned it to Crosby that
Speaker 1: somebody was here from Tennessee to to get him to
Speaker 1: ride his bike. And uh so then Crosby and the
Speaker 1: mom connected on Twitter and then and they arranged it
Speaker 1: so that the next day they could make it happen.
Speaker 1: I just, I just I love stories like that. I
Speaker 1: think it's really cool. You told it very well. But
Speaker 1: uh and and as you mentioned the ride with um,
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting the college boys. First name Francis. Yes, the ride,
Speaker 1: the ride with Francis with the specialized bike and everything
Speaker 1: like that, only in Green Bay, right west. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: if you know anything about Crosby and just where he's
Speaker 1: come from, and you know, his brother was a massive
Speaker 1: Packers fan when he got drafted here in two thousand seven. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Reese is the one that kind of opened
Speaker 1: his eyes to all the traditions and gave him sort
Speaker 1: of the background on everything. So there was a foundation
Speaker 1: there to begin with. But it just with with Crosby
Speaker 1: now a father of five, and I'd asked him about that.
Speaker 1: You know, when he sees some of these children dealing
Speaker 1: with you know, difficulties and you know, special special disabilities. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it makes him grateful for what he has
Speaker 1: and also um makes him want to, you know, give
Speaker 1: back in those situations too, because he knows what it's
Speaker 1: like to be a father. And I thought the coolest
Speaker 1: quote the whole story was John mentioning, you know, him
Speaker 1: and his wife worried for so many years what it
Speaker 1: would be like for Francis and school, what it would
Speaker 1: be like for him in just daily life, you know,
Speaker 1: if he'd ever be able to ride a bike and
Speaker 1: seeing him now now that he's going into pre K
Speaker 1: and everything, he doesn't worry anymore. And I think at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, that's uh, that's everything he
Speaker 1: could ever hope for. And these are stories that inspire
Speaker 1: the players. They total these guys and professional football who
Speaker 1: have reached the top of their profession. They get inspired
Speaker 1: by seeing what what these kids do and how and
Speaker 1: how dedicated they are to their own lives. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anyone probably more grounded on the
Speaker 1: team than Crosby. Um, you know, he knows what it
Speaker 1: was like going through two thousand and twelve. He understands
Speaker 1: how fleeting this moment is. Um, So to be able
Speaker 1: to embrace that is obviously really big for him. And
Speaker 1: it also keeps things in perspective too. If he has
Speaker 1: a bad practice or a you know, a missfield goal, that, um,
Speaker 1: you know there's a bigger picture to everything too, and
Speaker 1: no question about it. Well with that, we will call
Speaker 1: it a rap on this edition of Packers Unscripted. Would
Speaker 1: be sure to follow all of our coverage of the
Speaker 1: team on Packers dot com on Twitter. He's at West Hot,
Speaker 1: I'm at Mike Spofford at Packers still the team account.
Speaker 1: Thanks for tuning in, everybody, We'll see you next time.
