1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com. 2 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford, joined as always by my trusted 3 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: colleague West Hodkowitz. Were coming to you here from our 4 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: studios at lambeau Field and West. Week two is upon 5 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: us here Packers Vikings coming up on Sunday, the home 6 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: opener for the Green Bay Packers Sunday at lambeau Field. 7 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: But we can look back for a few minutes, first 8 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: at the Packers Week one victory last Thursday night in 9 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: Chicago over the Bears. In one aspect that we didn't 10 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: really touch on on our Friday show before we broke 11 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: for the weekend was the involvement of the tight ends 12 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: right away game one week one in this Green Bay offense. 13 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: Because you look at how this game unfolded. Jimmy Graham 14 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: had a touchdown catch, already half of his total of 15 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: touchdown catches from a year ago. Marcedes Lewis had two 16 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: receptions when he had three receptions all of last year 17 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: his first year in Green Bay. And Robert Tonyan had 18 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: a big catch on a scoring drive in the fourth 19 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: quarter when he didn't catch a pass last year until 20 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: Seattle in November. Whatever week of the season. That was, 21 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: so Matt Lafleur is getting his tight ends. He's only 22 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: got three healthy ones right now, but he's getting his 23 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: tight ends involved early and often here in Yeah, and 24 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: it's funny listening to Marcedes Lewis talk in the locker 25 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: room on Friday a little bit about this. I mean, 26 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: when he got brought in, I think Brian Goodacoons and 27 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: the Packers wanted him, but they really weren't sure how 28 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: they were going to go about using him. So in 29 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: some ways he became almost a glorified sixth offensive linemen 30 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: as al most the way it worked out, he only 31 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: played a hundred seventy snaps. As you mentioned, he only 32 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: had three catches. He did talk about when he came 33 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: back this year, he had a conversation with Brian Goodacons 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: about what the direction was going to be. This was 35 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: right after, you know, they had hired Matt Lafleoor, what 36 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: this whole thing is gonna look like. And what it 37 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: came down to is that things are going to be different. 38 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: And I thought this game in particular, really showed what 39 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: the Packers envisioned for this tight end position. In this game. Now, 40 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: it's not like anybody had a hundred yard game or 41 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: anything like that. But when you put together Jimmy Graham's 42 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: thirty catches for thirty yards and a touchdown, tanyans twenty 43 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: eight yard catch, Marcedes Lewis being involved more in the 44 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: passing game all told, six catches for seventy two yards 45 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: and a touchdown in a game in which the Packers 46 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: didn't throw for four inner yards. I mean that was 47 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: almost half of their entire production, a little less than 48 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: in terms of the passing yardage. So this, I thought 49 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: it was a really good indicator of where this offense 50 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: wants to go. Thirty five snaps, thirty four snaps and 51 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: twenty snaps for Graham, Lewis and Tanying respectively. Again, it's 52 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: Week one, what a lot, you know, a lot of 53 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: football would be played out. But from Marsdies Lewis perspective, 54 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: the Packers living up to their end of the bargain 55 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: with the way that they're moving these pieces around. Yeah, 56 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: and Marcedes Lewis almost getting a third reception in that game, 57 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: that back shoulder throw along the sideline from Rogers, really, 58 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: I mean tough catch. Close one almost had it, but 59 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: you almost You get the feeling that if Aaron Rodgers 60 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: is throwing a back shoulder throw in week one to 61 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: Marcedes Lewis, that he's not going to miss it again. 62 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: You know, they didn't quite connect on that one, but 63 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: that might be something we see down the road. Well, 64 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: and Rogers has been really effusive in his praise of 65 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: both Graham and Lewis through the highs and the lows 66 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: of this offense. And he even said, I mean, yes, 67 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: he did have his comment last month during training camp 68 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: about how Lewis came back in phenomenal shape. He end 69 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: up losing about ten pounds. Uh. You know, he's a 70 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: huge leader in this locker room. That was important for 71 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: the Packers and getting back. But even if you go 72 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: back to the end of last season, he was saying 73 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: the exact same thing about Graham and Lewis and his 74 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: belief of what those two guys could do if they 75 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: could get the offense sort of reconfigured and trying to 76 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: determine the best roles for all of these guys. The 77 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: thing that Lewis really likes about the way this is 78 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: working out is you don't necessarily have to run one 79 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: tight end into the round. You don't have to play 80 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: him sixty snaps a game. You can be balanced. There 81 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: can be times where you know, Jimmy Graham's the solo guy. 82 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: There can be times when Louis and Tanian are in 83 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: a two tight end package. So, in from Matt Lafleur's 84 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: perspective when he went to the podium at the end 85 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: of last week, the whole idea of this has been 86 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: what they've talked about all along, is that the more 87 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: packages that you can throw at defenses, the more you 88 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: give them to prepare for. You could very easily come 89 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: out on one series with a two tight end look 90 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: with Louis Antanian, maybe even have Italian the background as 91 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: a fullback and really bring things in. Or you could 92 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: come back all the next series and have Robert I 93 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: should say, Trevor Davis and you know Mark quisveld Is 94 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: scantling out there and really threatened the second level of 95 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: the defense and third level the defense. So that's where 96 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: the Packers want to get this offense. It is a 97 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: work in progress, but I think when you listen to 98 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers words, Matt Lafleur's words, and certainly these tight ends, 99 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: there's optimism about what this thing is going to look 100 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: like when the Packers get it, you know, the way 101 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: they wanted to. Yeah, we certainly saw Jimmy Graham rowing 102 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: caution to the wind, you might say, with that hurdle 103 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: play on on the one reception and he's out there 104 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: battling with the finger injury, but made a couple of catches, 105 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: had the nice touchdown catch. Um to uh to get 106 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: the Packers on the board there in the first half 107 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: in Chicago. Another part of this offensive effort though, that 108 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: we need to talk about because obviously, at this time 109 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: last year when we were talking about the Bears, we 110 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: were talking about Khalil Mack and how he just completely 111 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: wrecked the entire first half of Week one at lambeau Field. 112 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: Mac had a couple of plays in this game. He's 113 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: gonna make his plays here and there, but we didn't 114 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: come out of Soldier Field on Thursday night and get 115 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: on that plane to come home. Um. Talking about this great, 116 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: huge impact that Khalil Mac had in this game, and 117 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: and hats off really to the Packers offensive tackles. Brian 118 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: Bulaga and David baktr Mac lined up, you know, across 119 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: almost anywhere throughout the game, but the Packers held the 120 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: big star in check and that was a big factor 121 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: in Uh. I know it wasn't a great night on offense, 122 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: but as we talked about, Packers didn't turn it over. 123 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers did get sacked a few times, but he 124 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: held onto the ball all that. Khalil Mack was not 125 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: a big factor in this game, and that was a 126 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: big factor in the Packers winning. Yeah, absolutely, Mike, And 127 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: and the thing with Mac is that, I mean you 128 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: see it, five tackles, one tackle for a loss, no 129 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: quarterback hits, no sacks. That's the way you wanted to 130 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: look because if you go back and look at last season, 131 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: it didn't so much happen against the Packers, but there 132 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: were games where Mac completely flipped it on its head 133 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: based on his play by himself. So to keep him 134 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: under control, I think is a big feather in the 135 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: cap of the tackles. And I want to talk about 136 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: quickly just a Brian bolog in particular, because when we 137 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: finally got through everything this weekend, got a chance to 138 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: go back and look at some of those plays. The 139 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: Bolaga is so consistent with how he approaches the game. 140 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: And you know, even keeled, he's been around this game 141 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: for a long time, the way he prepares himself, the 142 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: way he prepares his body, the plan that the Packers 143 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: had for him to get to Week one as healthy 144 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: as possible all the way through the spring and the summer, 145 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: the O T A S and in training camp. Everything 146 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: was planned out in terms of his his snaps, his workload, 147 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: his reps to get ready and stay healthy for week off. 148 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: And I really like that approach because last year, as 149 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: you and I have talked about, it was sort of like, Okay, 150 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: you're trying to get him healthy coming back from the 151 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: A c L, trying to get him some work at 152 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: the end of camp. This year a lot more balanced, 153 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: a lot more pace, And I just felt like that 154 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: performance against Mac and the fact that the Packers were 155 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: able to kind of keep him out of it for 156 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: the most part. It's a volatile defense. There's gonna be 157 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: other areas that are going to stress you, but Mac 158 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: can be the one that really tips everything in the 159 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: Bear's favor, and they didn't allow him to do that. 160 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: From the lagas perspective with where he's at his point 161 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: of his career, taking that approach his health everything to 162 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: have that kind of performance against Mac, right out of 163 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: the gate. I think really is going to be something 164 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: that can be a galvanizing moment for him as he 165 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: looks to now get back in his comfort zone after 166 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: really having to play catch up last season throughout September. Yeah, 167 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: I mean you just you turn on a few snaps 168 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: of the game film from Thursday night watching blog against 169 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: Mac and you can just see the difference in where 170 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: bolog is in Week one this year compared to last year, 171 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: when I mean he made quite frankly, a miraculous recovery 172 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: in terms of the timeline from the a c L injury. 173 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: We had talked about that that he was actually ready 174 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: to play week one, and to his credit, he did that. 175 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: But to go against Khalil Mack in Week one against 176 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: the Bears, he wasn't necessarily fully ready for that, and 177 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: he was absolutely ready for everything that Week one brought 178 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: this time and uh and Brian Bulaga, quite frankly is 179 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: is in a different place healthwise right now September twenty 180 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: nineteen than he was in September. And I think two, 181 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: when the years go on in time passes, people are 182 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: going to appreciate Brian blag a lot more than maybe 183 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: even they do today just for that reason. I mean, 184 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: I agree with you blink your eye like that. And 185 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: he's a ten year vet. He's a guy that's held down, 186 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: that is. And when you use a first round pick 187 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: on a tackle, what do you want to get out 188 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:04,599 Speaker 1: of it? You want to be able to have a 189 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: guy that you can plug there for ten years and 190 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: not worry about it. He's worked through some injuries, He's 191 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: fought through a lot. But I think you know, ultimately, 192 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: when this thing is all said and done and you 193 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: look at how many games he actually played in for 194 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 1: the Packers and what he played through, I just I 195 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: think his career is gonna hold up really well. And 196 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: the nice thing for the Packers perspective right now, this 197 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: is a guy who entered the league when he was 198 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: years old. You know, I think there's a lot of 199 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: faith that there's still a lot of tread on the 200 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: tire and this is a guy that could still be, uh, 201 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: you know, a big presence for them at that right 202 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: tackle spot. Well, it's interesting when you look at his 203 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: career because you talk about he has fought through some injuries. 204 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: Long time offensive tackles here like Mark Tauscher and Chad 205 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: Clifton they fought through their share of injuries as well. 206 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: You know, when you look at it in the big 207 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: picture of the grand scheme of things, a lot of 208 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: those guys have had similar careers in that what they've 209 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: had to fight through, but yet gotten themselves to steadily 210 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: play at a really, really high level to to help 211 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: this team. And when an offensive coordinator can trust his 212 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: offensive tackles, that's a that's just a big boost every 213 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: week going into that game planning meeting when he feels 214 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: comfortable with his guys on the end. Yeah, and it's 215 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: a dent injury rate at that position too. I know, 216 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: looking at the game, I was. I watched a lot 217 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: of games on sent on Sunday with us having that 218 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: opportunity to to kind of sit back and obviously not 219 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: work that day, and the one that stood out to 220 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: me was it was the Cleveland game. After it was 221 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: what Greg Robinson got ejected the left tackle for the Browns. Uh, 222 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: they had to move in their their backup tackle. I 223 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: forget his name, Lamb. The third or fourth play that 224 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: he's in the game, they end up getting giving up 225 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: a sack in the end zone. It's a safety against 226 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. The play ends with the the edge rusher 227 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: and Mayfield like collapsing on I believe his name was 228 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: lamb his ankle. And it's just funny to me that 229 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: that position, like sometimes guys get injury labels every single 230 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: it's almost like every single position, every single injury that 231 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: happens at that spot on the offensive line, it's almost 232 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: all always a freak kind of thing just because of 233 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: the randomness of it. So uh to be able to 234 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: have Bolaga there, and certainly with David Baxtr has done 235 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: now in the last six seasons, there's that's a difficult 236 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: thing to be able to accomplish. To have two pillars 237 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: like that in the teams that you see that. Do 238 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: you look at Dallas what they're doing right now, they're 239 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: they're the ones that usually are the ones playing meaningful 240 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: football in December and January. Yeah, well, you started talking 241 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: about week one, and I want to get to some 242 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: more reflections on the opening weekend of NFL football. But first, 243 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: select Cousin Subs locations are now offering delivery. Whether you're 244 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: ordering catering or your favorite sub, they're delivering right to 245 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: you when you order online at Cousin Subs dot Com. 246 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: Cousin subs we believe in better. All right, Well, we 247 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: will spend a good portion of the coming week talking 248 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: about the Minnesota Vikings West, but we certainly have to 249 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: mention here what they did in Week one at home 250 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: against the Atlanta Falcons and absolutely dominating performance against an 251 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: opponent many fields, a playoff contender in the NFC and 252 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: obviously a former m v P quarterback in Matt Ryan. 253 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: Minnesota looked darn good. It was funny. Uh. I didn't 254 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: even realize until the end of the game that Kirk 255 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:21,479 Speaker 1: Cousins had thrown tent pass. Okay, there's two different storylines 256 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: to this game. One, Minnesota still Minnesota, and it's a 257 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: team that they felt like the underachieved last year. But 258 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: they still have a lot of talent. Dalvin Cook like 259 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: he looks like he's going to be a problem for 260 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: the NFL for years to come, so long as he 261 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: stays healthy. The other thing, though, that I do have 262 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: to at least make mention of, there was a lot 263 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: of hope and optimism that things are going to be 264 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: different for Atlanta's defense this year. I don't know if 265 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: that's necessarily going to be the case, because this was 266 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: as rudimentary of a game is I think that you 267 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: could ask for In two thousand nineteen. You didn't have 268 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: to worry about the downfield pass from Kirk Cousins. They 269 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: made it abundantly clear, We're going to run it down 270 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: your throat. And it's not even like Delvin Cook had 271 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: one kerry for sixty yards. His longest was twenty two 272 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: and he had a five point three yards per carry clip. 273 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: They just could not stop him. And you know, Matt 274 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: Ryan had the two picks, the takeaways and things like that. 275 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: You know, when Minnesota and that Zimmer defense is clicking 276 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: the way it can look. I I think if you 277 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: asked me on Saturday night who I thought would win 278 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: this game, I thought it would be Minnesota. I did 279 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: not expect them to punch the Falcons in the mouth 280 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: the way they did. Yeah, I mean that it was. 281 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: It was a dominating performance by Minnesota and all three 282 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: phases their defense. As you said, they got the sacks 283 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: and the takeaways. I do think a couple of opportunities 284 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: where the Falcons had a chance to get back in there. 285 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan made some horrendous decisions from um from just 286 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: a for a veteran quarterback and accomplished quarterback to make 287 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: a couple of decisions he made there that that really 288 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: took his team out of the game. But the Vikings 289 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: also had a block punt on special teams. Obviously you 290 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: mentioned the running game with Dalvin Cook and Kirk uSens. 291 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: You know, barely broke a sweat with uh with only 292 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: having to throw ten passes. So three passes in the 293 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: second half. Yeah, well, I mean they were up twenty 294 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: or whatever. Was why would you why would you bother 295 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 1: throwing the ball and your running backs getting five yards 296 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: to carry? So um but um. But also if we 297 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: look at Week one in the NFC North, a really 298 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: interesting game out in Arizona with the Detroit Lions, it 299 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: was um, t J. Hockenson came on the scene. I 300 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: believe he set an NFL rookie record for a tight 301 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: end debut with a hundred and thirty some receiving yards 302 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: or whatever. So t J. Hockenson, you know, top ten 303 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: draft pick, he will definitely be a guy to watch 304 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: build like that's an NFL tight ends. Yeah, there's there. 305 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: You can see why he was drafted as high as 306 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: he was. But the Detroit Lions four to six lead 307 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, they let it get away and 308 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: they end up in an overtime tie at twenty seven, 309 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray, the rookie quarterback for the Cardinals, bringing 310 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: his club all the way back. Um. You know, if 311 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: there is such a thing as a gut punch when 312 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: you tie a game, this is it. Because the Detroit 313 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: Lions had this game. I don't know. I I still 314 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: don't know how you really let it get away. You 315 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: want to know why? It's a big gut punch. Cliff 316 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: Kingsbury was walking to the post game like handshake with 317 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: Matt Patricia with a smile on his face after a tie. 318 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: The sense of relief and the fact that Arizona even 319 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: had a chance to win that game. They had the ball, 320 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: they were driving, they were able to get two first 321 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: downs and it stopped. They end up punting it with 322 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: a with a minute left and overtime. You know, and 323 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: did you see the last play and again they almost 324 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: got I mean Stafford almost thrills the pick on the sideline. 325 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: If I think it was Brock, maybe it was the 326 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: defensive back. If he hangs onto that and steps out 327 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: of bounds with four or five seconds left, they can 328 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: send out the kicker one play and win the game 329 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: in Detroit would have lost. I mean, it's just everything 330 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: that happened from really the beginning of the fourth quarter 331 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: to the end of that game was just was just 332 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: bizarre in a lot of ways. Other you know, but 333 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: it's it's funny, man. The years change, the offenses change, 334 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: things get different. But at the end of the day, 335 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: I mean, Detroit struggled to run the ball again, and 336 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, for his money, for the most part, other 337 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: than that throw late, made some nice throws throughout the game, 338 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: had a solid performance. But I can't think of too 339 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: many instances where one quarterback, oh, beats the other quarterback 340 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: by a thirty five passer rating and yet the other 341 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: quarterback was the one that had a chance to win 342 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: the game at the end. And it's just there was 343 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: just a little bit of a comedy of errors, not 344 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: being able to finish, not getting the drives when you 345 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: needed them. Well, I think this is this is an 346 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: absolute reflection of what the Detroit Lions have been looking 347 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: for for years, which is to find a running game. 348 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: Because if you have a twenty four to sixth lead 349 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter on the road, if you can 350 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: run the football with any effectiveness at all, you're gonna 351 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: close out that game. They haven't had a running game. 352 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: They still can't seem to find it. Carry on. Johnson 353 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: was looking like he would be the guy last year. 354 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: He really didn't do much for them yesterday when they 355 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: needed to be able to run the football. Stafford ended 356 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: up with nice numbers, good stats and everything. And as 357 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: you said, if you have a thirty point thirty five 358 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: point differential in the passer rating, that's a game you're 359 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 1: supposed to win. Absolutely and and to you know, a credit, 360 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: he got to give credit or credits due. Uh. Kyler 361 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: Murray had about as terrible disastrous of a first place 362 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: as you could for a rookie quarterback with those kind 363 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: of expectations. Shook it off. What did he do? He 364 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: found his two biggest weapons, David Johnson and Larry fitz Old. 365 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: Reliable in Johnson just when he's right, how dynamic he 366 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: can be with mixing in what he does as a 367 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: pass catcher. The I'm not you know, I'm not saying 368 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: these are two playoff teams or anything like that. But 369 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: if I'm Kyler Murray, certainly you wanted to finish that 370 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: last drive. You wanted to win that game for the Cardinals. 371 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: But the way he battled back I think speaks volumes 372 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: about a young quarterback and and what he needs to 373 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: do because it wasn't that he just was plays weren't 374 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: going as where he was playing poor. I mean, he's 375 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: getting balls deflected, the line of scrimmages, everything that you 376 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: think of, like as far as what you fear with 377 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: a shorter quarterback. And later on he just started to 378 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: find a way, he got comfortable, he made plays with 379 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: his feet and they were able to uh edge out 380 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: a tie. Yeah. Well, also in Week one you would 381 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: mentioned it briefly earlier the Cleveland Browns. I think if 382 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: there was one result in Week one that kind of 383 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: floored me, it was seeing that the Cleveland Browns at 384 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: home against the Tennessee Titans lost by thirty points. I 385 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: didn't see the game, but I went back and I 386 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: watched the highlights and you mentioned the safety that was 387 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: early on this g This is a fifteen to thirteen game, 388 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: like late third quarter, and then suddenly Tennessee hits a 389 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: screen pass that goes the distance seventy five yards for 390 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: a touchdown, and then Baker Mayfield gets intercepted on three 391 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: consecutive possessions in the fourth quarter. I mean, you talk, 392 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: you talk about a snowball going downhill that just wasn't 393 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: gonna stop. I mean this was this just turned ugly 394 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: for Cleveland. So I actually did I watched this entire 395 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: game um sick because I just was really curious to 396 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: see how the Browns are gonna look. Tony Romo kind 397 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: of pulled the Spofford in it where remember where you 398 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: were like, oh you had Jake Crumero. He hasn't dropped anything, 399 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: and then he like dropped something the very next like practice, 400 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: Romo was like crediting Mayfield, like, hey, you're behind right now. 401 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: But he's doing a great job of managing this game. 402 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: He's not making you know, he's being with the football. 403 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: And then I swear the words were barely even out 404 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: of his mouth. And it was the first pick, the 405 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: second pick, and the third pick. I will say this, 406 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: and and you know we have to see again where 407 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: all these chips fault. It's just weekly, it's week one. 408 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: It's it's one game for everybody, one loss, one win, 409 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: no matter how you slice it. Doug Rabel has the 410 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans looking good. That defense is legit uh and offensively, 411 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota still has his weak spots, but I don't 412 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: even know who the offensive coordinator is this year, but 413 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: they do such a good job of playing to his strength. 414 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,479 Speaker 1: With that offense and having Delaney Walker back, you can 415 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: see what kind of difference that makes. I think Derrick 416 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 1: Henry looked really solid. That screenplay, the blocking they had 417 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 1: downfield to spring him on that long connection, those are 418 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: the kind of things you need to do to win 419 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: games like this. They went into Cleveland, a lot of 420 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: buzz there and they brought him back down to Earth. 421 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: I think you got to tip your cap to the Titans. Yeah, 422 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: it's kind of a the slogan I think now in 423 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: Cleveland has hold the hype because this was this was 424 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: a hype team, and I admit i I I still 425 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: think Cleveland could be a playoff contender because it doesn't 426 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: you know, regardless of what the Ravens did against the 427 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins that a f C North is completely up 428 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,239 Speaker 1: for grabs. I mean, any anybody could anybody could take 429 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: that one. But any other impressions from Week one, Obviously, 430 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots defended their Super Bowl started, started 431 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: the defense of their Super Bowl title with an absolutely 432 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: dominating victory in primetime over the Pittsburgh Steel Yeah, it's 433 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: a big wake up call there in terms of the 434 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: Patriots are just gonna keep doing what the Patriots do. 435 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is so effective at running that offense, even 436 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: depending on what happens with Antonio Brown here, I think 437 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: that looks like a pretty complete offense to begin with. 438 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,959 Speaker 1: You without having Robbed Runkowski, pitts Burg has some questions 439 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: to answer there. I think, you know, Juju Smith Schuster, 440 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: without having Antonio Brown there, it's going to be a 441 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,959 Speaker 1: different game for him and he's gonna have to adapt 442 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: to that. Stefan Gilmour did a good job against him. 443 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: And also, just to throw this out there, it is 444 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins that house is burning down right now. 445 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: But the Baltimore Ravens, Mike, you and I saw a 446 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: little bit of that starting offense. Lamar Jackson is not 447 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: just st He's not standing there to run and hand 448 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: off the football. He will throw and he has a 449 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: phenomenal target, Hollywood Brown. Right now, the Ravens are going 450 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: to be fun to watch this season. Yeah, that's that's 451 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: a that's a dynamic quarterback that I'm not even sure 452 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: that we've seen. We really even started to scratch the surface. 453 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: So maybe what that offense is going to look like 454 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: as this season evolved, because Lamar Jackson is not a 455 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: rookie anymore, and he doesn't look like a rookie. And 456 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: what do you do, Mike, You go back to nineteen 457 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: thirty or nineteen forty two when cecil Isabelle was thrown 458 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: to Don Hudson. You run, you run, you run, You 459 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: keep getting that ground production and then you hit him 460 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: with a big play down field. The Ravens are doing 461 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: it as good as anyone right now. Well, with the 462 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: cecil isabel Don Hudson reference, we will call it there 463 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: on this edition of Packers Unscripted.
