Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford, joined by my trusted colleague West
Speaker 1: hod Koitz, were coming to you here from our studios
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field and West. It's our Wednesday show, our
Speaker 1: middle of the week show, and that means a closer
Speaker 1: look at the Packers opponent. We started talking about the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears quite a bit on yesterday's show, but let's
Speaker 1: dive a little deeper because when when I look at this,
Speaker 1: the first thing that jumps out to me is what
Speaker 1: I like to call something that falls into the something's
Speaker 1: got to give category, And what I mean by that
Speaker 1: is Aaron Rodgers has thrown three d and six consecutive
Speaker 1: past attempts without without an interception, excuse me. And the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears lead the civilized world by a large margin
Speaker 1: with twenty five interceptions on the season, including seven from
Speaker 1: Kyle Fuller at corner and five from Eddie Jackson at safety.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be really really interesting here because if
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers can protect the ball, the Packers chances to
Speaker 1: win this game go up dramatically. If the Bears start
Speaker 1: taking it away, their chances rise dramatic, and I think
Speaker 1: it goes back to that old adage. You know, you
Speaker 1: get two takeaways a lot of times, it's going to
Speaker 1: translate into a win. And for the Packers, you know,
Speaker 1: last week, it was exactly what they needed. They got
Speaker 1: their two big takeaways, one late, but still help them
Speaker 1: put away the football game. Chicago Bears have been doing
Speaker 1: it all season long, Michael, and I mean you can
Speaker 1: look at their stats right now where they're at. I
Speaker 1: mean they have one, two, three, four or five, six, eight, nine, ten,
Speaker 1: eleven different guys with an interception. Prince of Mukamara. Gotta
Speaker 1: give credit to him too. He's kind of turned back
Speaker 1: the clock a little bit this season, been a really accountable,
Speaker 1: important piece of that defense. We learned yesterday. Looks like
Speaker 1: Bryce Callahan is gonna be out here with a foot injury,
Speaker 1: So that's a that's a ding right there as far
Speaker 1: as their nickel slot position. But I mean with what
Speaker 1: Kyle Fuller has done this season seven receptions, Eddie Jackson,
Speaker 1: I remember Eddie Jackson. I talked to him, was one
Speaker 1: of the only people at his podium at the NFL
Speaker 1: Scouting Combine talking to him and in his path from Alabama.
Speaker 1: Breaking his leg probably would have been in early maybe
Speaker 1: not a first round, definitely a second day pick had
Speaker 1: he not broken his leg. At the end of his
Speaker 1: his year at Alabama, he goes out for the draft,
Speaker 1: the Bears take him in the fourth round. Ha ha.
Speaker 1: Clinton Dicks was singing his praises as far as what
Speaker 1: this kid's potential is and now here he is with
Speaker 1: five interceptions this year to return for a touchdown, Yeah,
Speaker 1: something has to give. It's gonna be the you know,
Speaker 1: the security that Aaron Rodgers has had with the football
Speaker 1: this year against one of the league's top ball hawking defenses. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the foot injury to Bryce Callahan at their
Speaker 1: nickel position. And that's an interesting one here because as
Speaker 1: we see Sunday's game unfold, does that mean Randall Cobb
Speaker 1: in the slot becomes a big time key receiver here
Speaker 1: because he's going to have maybe the most favorable matchup.
Speaker 1: Or do the Packers move Davante Adams into the slot
Speaker 1: and then see how the Bears react. Are they going
Speaker 1: to have Kyle Fuller, for example, cover Davantae Adams even
Speaker 1: when he's in the slot. Are they going to take
Speaker 1: their chances with a backup nickel defender. There so kind
Speaker 1: of an interesting piece to this chess match because of
Speaker 1: this new injury to Callahan. Yeah, and if you do that,
Speaker 1: how do the Bears want to defend it? Do you
Speaker 1: want to have one of the safety is dropping down
Speaker 1: into the box, you know, covering a receiver out of
Speaker 1: the slot. All things We're gonna have to figure out.
Speaker 1: The important thing I think for the Packers as it's
Speaker 1: related to Adams specifically, probably over the last six games,
Speaker 1: is they've moved him around a lot, and he's been
Speaker 1: effective from a lot of different positions. I don't have
Speaker 1: all the stats and the splits as far as what
Speaker 1: is inside outside ratio has been in terms of catches
Speaker 1: this year, but I think the one thing he has
Speaker 1: definitely demonstrated in year five is he can do it all.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure when you look at Vic Fangio, he's
Speaker 1: been in this division for several years now, he's watched
Speaker 1: the maturation and development of Adams, seeing the cat and
Speaker 1: mouse game there. How he wants to possibly defend him
Speaker 1: in What that means depending on how much attention you
Speaker 1: give him, We're gonna have to wait and see. I
Speaker 1: don't know Honestly, maybe you do. You're more intelligent than
Speaker 1: I am. How Kyle Fuller has been exactly deployed this season,
Speaker 1: if he's played mostly outside, if they've moved him in
Speaker 1: in man situations, matching situations, all things we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to learn. At least I'm going to have to. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't say I've watched the Bears enough this year,
Speaker 1: and certainly not watching enough of the All twenty two
Speaker 1: type of film where you see exactly how a guy
Speaker 1: like Fuller is being deployed. But for everything that the
Speaker 1: Bears have done in the turnover category on defense this season,
Speaker 1: the transmission, so to speak, of this Bears defensive engine
Speaker 1: is that front uh seven, that front group and when
Speaker 1: you're talking, when you're talking Khalil Mack and a Keem Hicks,
Speaker 1: they've combined for sixteen sacks I believe it is on
Speaker 1: the season. But it's not just those sixteen sacks West,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the the constant disruption. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: how many forced fumbles the two of them have combined
Speaker 1: for they they seem to be pretty adept at getting
Speaker 1: the ball out. Is at nine six by Mac five
Speaker 1: or three by Hicks? Yeah, I mean this, uh, those
Speaker 1: two guys, and at this point we don't know exactly
Speaker 1: what the health status is. As we mentioned earlier in
Speaker 1: the week, as far as the Packers offensive line goes.
Speaker 1: But but Mac and Hicks boy that um, it's it's
Speaker 1: a tandem unlike any other, unlike any that the Packers
Speaker 1: have seen all years, since week one when Mac made
Speaker 1: his Bears debut. You know, and obviously I'm not privy
Speaker 1: to the conversations that the Bears have, but I can
Speaker 1: only imagine at some point Ryan Pace and Vic Fangio
Speaker 1: and that coaching staff sat down and figured out, Okay,
Speaker 1: what pieces do we need for this defense? Because Mike,
Speaker 1: if you go from what this unit looked like the
Speaker 1: day that Vic Fangio was hired onto John Fox's staff
Speaker 1: to what they look like today, it's pretty incredible. I
Speaker 1: actually got into a major fight with a fan and
Speaker 1: insider inbox recently. You had to edit it. Who was
Speaker 1: who was complaining to me about the Packers draft classes
Speaker 1: from two thousand and eleven to two thousand and fifteen.
Speaker 1: In addition to that being just a completely wide ranging,
Speaker 1: uh you know, scheme to be trying to figure out,
Speaker 1: you know, whether or not drafts were successful or unsuccessful
Speaker 1: based upon whether those players are still on the roster.
Speaker 1: I immediately threw that back in their face and I
Speaker 1: mentioned that, well, if you look at the Bears drafts
Speaker 1: during that time, Bears have like three guys left from
Speaker 1: those draft classes on the roster right now. I think
Speaker 1: the Packers had like eight or seven or something like that.
Speaker 1: Bears had some lean years where they were not getting productivity.
Speaker 1: In these last two and a half years for them
Speaker 1: have been so important because, yeah, you found your Kyle
Speaker 1: Fuller's who had to bounce back from an injury to
Speaker 1: to become the player he's become. You drafted ro Kuan Smith.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's going to be a player in
Speaker 1: this league for years to come. You had Danny Trevathan
Speaker 1: sign over from Denver. Now also you had Darrell Freeman
Speaker 1: that didn't work out. But they sort of did this
Speaker 1: paint splatter approach where we're just gonna throw resources. We
Speaker 1: have a ton of cap space, we're gonna see what sticks.
Speaker 1: Resigned some of our own guys, maybe trade for Khalil Mack.
Speaker 1: Have the room to be able to absorb that contract,
Speaker 1: and they're beginning to see the fruits of that labor.
Speaker 1: I don't want to disrespect Mitchell Trobisky at all and
Speaker 1: what they're doing offensively, but in so many ways, Mike,
Speaker 1: this really does remind me of that two thousand one
Speaker 1: Bears team, where they have a suffocating defense and an
Speaker 1: offense that's going to get them as far as they
Speaker 1: need to go. If you go back, Mike, over the
Speaker 1: last ten fifteen years, that's been the blueprint for the
Speaker 1: Bears when they've made runs. They've never had this completely
Speaker 1: unstoppable offense. It's always been based around being able to
Speaker 1: score more points than the other team. And this year,
Speaker 1: this defense has allowed them to do that. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: and I don't want to get too far off the
Speaker 1: track here in the conversation, but I think what we're
Speaker 1: seeing here as the regular season winds down two teams
Speaker 1: in particular in the NFC, the Chicago Bears and the
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. What these two teams are doing offensively now,
Speaker 1: I think Russell Wilson has a little bit more explosiveness
Speaker 1: in that Seahawks offense than Drabinsky does with the Bears,
Speaker 1: but the Seahawks also are focused on running the football.
Speaker 1: We're seeing what is essentially developing as the counter to
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Saints and this explosive offenses. So
Speaker 1: whether the Bears, the Bears are just one victory or
Speaker 1: one Minnesota loss away from clinching the NFC North of
Speaker 1: being a division champ in the playoffs and the Seahawks,
Speaker 1: Seahawks obviously have the inside inside track on that first
Speaker 1: wild card spot. So we're gonna see these matchups in
Speaker 1: the postseasons in in one way or another. As far
Speaker 1: as these defenses and what they've built over the years,
Speaker 1: over over the course of the year, versus these explosive offense.
Speaker 1: I kind of like that where you had the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: It's like the Boston Mike sid kind of coming out
Speaker 1: a little bit like voice cracks. It's exciting to talk about. No,
Speaker 1: I mean the fact that you and I even discussed
Speaker 1: we started this, this breakdown of the Bears with the defense.
Speaker 1: Every week, we always talked about the offense. It just
Speaker 1: tells you what they bring to the table and what
Speaker 1: they present. And before I'm sure there's a scattered amount
Speaker 1: of people out there are still like, well, why didn't
Speaker 1: the Packers trade for Khalil Mack. I've said this since
Speaker 1: day one. I give Ryan Pays a lot of credit.
Speaker 1: He he put his hat out there, he said, this
Speaker 1: is going to be the move, This is gonna be
Speaker 1: probably what sinks or swims my time here as the GM,
Speaker 1: It's worked out great for them. They also had the
Speaker 1: cap room to be able to make him the highest
Speaker 1: paid pass Russia in the NFL. You got to tip
Speaker 1: your cap in some of those instances because I think
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio's defense was close. I think Mac has put
Speaker 1: them over the top. And even with that Mike you
Speaker 1: see it make a guy like a Cheam Hicks better.
Speaker 1: I mean Hicks. His stats are going to jump off
Speaker 1: the page. He has forty seven tackles in six sacks.
Speaker 1: But if you watch him operate within that defense and
Speaker 1: how those two guys play off each other at that
Speaker 1: front level of the trenches, it fits them really well. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I want to get back to what you were just
Speaker 1: talking about with GM Ryan pace in the moves he's made,
Speaker 1: But I need to take care of a little bit
Speaker 1: of business here. The powerful noise canceling technology that helps
Speaker 1: NFL coaches block out eight and screaming fans can get
Speaker 1: you closer to the music. You love learn more at
Speaker 1: www dot bos dot com, Slash Packers Bows the official
Speaker 1: headphones of the Green Bay Packers, and at homer Here
Speaker 1: in the stands. We all know that Green Bay fans
Speaker 1: give it their all and that takes a lot of energy.
Speaker 1: So grab a warm bowl of Campbell's Chunky Soup. It's
Speaker 1: meaty goodness fuels the greatness of Packers fans everywhere. Try
Speaker 1: the delicious classic chicken noodle soup. Just visit your local
Speaker 1: supermarket and asked for Campbell's Chunky Sup Official sup partner
Speaker 1: of the Green Bay Packers. Okay, returning to the discussion
Speaker 1: of Ryan Pace, you said how much he kind of
Speaker 1: stuck his neck out there on the Khalil Mac move.
Speaker 1: He did the same thing with Mr Rubisky. He traded up,
Speaker 1: just trading up one spot, but it cost him a
Speaker 1: fair amount of draft capital trading up from the three
Speaker 1: spot to the two spot to draft Trubisky. And I
Speaker 1: was asked in Insider inbox about Okay, so, just how
Speaker 1: sustainable is this for the Bears? Uh? Because they're obviously
Speaker 1: they put together a good team. They're going to be
Speaker 1: in the playoffs this year. What's the what's the longevity
Speaker 1: of this potential competitive run for them, And I said
Speaker 1: it comes down to two things. One, Ryan Pace is
Speaker 1: going to have to start drafting better than a lot
Speaker 1: of other teams because the Bears don't have a first
Speaker 1: round draft pick now until the next two drafts, no
Speaker 1: first round picks because of the Mac trade. But the
Speaker 1: other thing that really is going to be potentially even
Speaker 1: the bigger piece to how long the Bears can sustain
Speaker 1: this is what is Mr Trubisky ceiling his development. He's
Speaker 1: only in his second season. He's got a lot of
Speaker 1: games under his belt for a second year quarterback. But
Speaker 1: if his arrow continues to point up and he continues
Speaker 1: to become the guy that Ryan Pace was so enamored
Speaker 1: with and so convinced was his guy that he made
Speaker 1: that trade to get up to number two in the
Speaker 1: draft in order to take him a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: then this can be a This can be sustained for
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. But as it is with any team
Speaker 1: in the NFL West, it hinge it hinges on the quarterback.
Speaker 1: The Bears right now have one who is not at
Speaker 1: his ceiling yet. The question is what is that ceiling? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a great question. It's the thing. If you have
Speaker 1: a quarterback under three or four years in the league,
Speaker 1: you're still trying to figure out I honestly, I think
Speaker 1: there's some teams. You look at Miami, it's been six
Speaker 1: years now, they're still trying to see what they have
Speaker 1: in Ryan Tanner. That's just the game you play if
Speaker 1: you don't have Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees and these
Speaker 1: guys that are just on their famous way to the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Trabinsky to me, you know, if you
Speaker 1: go back to Week one, Mike and we did our
Speaker 1: our preview ended up being the regular season premier. I
Speaker 1: was really hesitant about him to some regard. I still
Speaker 1: am someone hesitant about him. But the one thing I'll
Speaker 1: give him credit for, and I will also give Matt
Speaker 1: Naggie credit for, is he's playing a lot more free
Speaker 1: this season. Um. Now, that also goes with a you know,
Speaker 1: there's more interceptions this year. There's been some turnovers. I
Speaker 1: think he's tied for third right now in the NFL,
Speaker 1: tied for fourth with twelve picks the most last week, right, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean that was a rough showing, but yet they
Speaker 1: still did enough to to win that game fifteen to
Speaker 1: six Trubisky. I think the best thing that they did,
Speaker 1: and I can't get into all the what played into it,
Speaker 1: but the fact that Jordan Howard finally had a hundred
Speaker 1: yard game last week, his first performance of that nature
Speaker 1: this season. Tera Cohen has been his number one target
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. You can sign Allen Robinson, you
Speaker 1: can sign Taylor Gabriel, you can do all these different
Speaker 1: things as far as the perimeter weapons, but I think
Speaker 1: it's pretty obvious that his best friends right now or though,
Speaker 1: is his backfield. When they get how Weard going, when
Speaker 1: they get Cohen involved, good things happen for the Bears.
Speaker 1: That's where the big emphasis, I think for Mike Petton
Speaker 1: and this defense has to be being able to show up,
Speaker 1: not allow, you know, Howard to be able to gush you,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of bleed you for yards, and keep
Speaker 1: Derek Cohen away from those big play opportunities. Because as
Speaker 1: much as we've talked about all those perimeter weapons and
Speaker 1: everything they added Anthony Miller through the draft, it's still
Speaker 1: about the tight end Trey Burton in those two running backs,
Speaker 1: and you've got to start there if you're gonna stop
Speaker 1: your Bisky. Yeah, and you mentioned Cohen is is the
Speaker 1: Bears leading receiver year in terms of yardage. But I
Speaker 1: would say the other thing that does make this Bears
Speaker 1: offense a little bit difficult, not only some of the
Speaker 1: creative motioning and this and that, and and a handful
Speaker 1: of trick plays that Matt Naggi has has run throughout
Speaker 1: the course of this season, but it's kind of an
Speaker 1: equal opportunity passing game. When you just look at the numbers,
Speaker 1: I believe it's five different guys with at least thirty
Speaker 1: receptions and four hundred yards essentially. Um. Those uh, five
Speaker 1: different guys with with those kind of numbers, And and
Speaker 1: you said it. You know, there's Cohen, there's the tight
Speaker 1: end Burton, you have Gabriel Robinson, and Anthony Miller the
Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver. We had talked last year the Bears
Speaker 1: had to do something at wide receiver because as a rookie,
Speaker 1: Trubisky really didn't have anybody to throw the ball too.
Speaker 1: They did that, They completely revamped their receiving corps. And
Speaker 1: as these guys have continued to to work in this
Speaker 1: offense and and understand what Naggie wants them to do,
Speaker 1: and and Traubinsky understanding what his role is. It's it's
Speaker 1: not an explosive offense, but it's not exactly easy to
Speaker 1: defend either because the ball can go to so many
Speaker 1: different guys. Yeah. Absolutely, And again not to keep throwing
Speaker 1: comparables back to two thousand one with Jim Miller and
Speaker 1: what the Bears did that season with Anthony Thomas, but
Speaker 1: there are I think some of those those direct correlations
Speaker 1: because it's not like they have a Pro Bowl all
Speaker 1: Pro type difference maker in this offense. But they get
Speaker 1: it done and they can win close games, and if
Speaker 1: you're going to win and make a playoff run, that's
Speaker 1: what you have to do. And to be quite honest
Speaker 1: with you, with Trubisky only being in his second year
Speaker 1: at twenty four years old, this is the trajectory you expected.
Speaker 1: You expected them to take a step, but probably still
Speaker 1: not to be on the cutting edge of a lot
Speaker 1: of this stuff. So they're doing it the right way
Speaker 1: in that regard. I think Anthony Miller and used to
Speaker 1: come is gonna be a real problem for the NFC North. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, Allen Robinson has been okay for the majority
Speaker 1: of this season. Taylor Garbriel has been a safety valve
Speaker 1: of sorts for him coming out of the slot. But
Speaker 1: but getting back to what I said originally, I just
Speaker 1: think that Howard and Cohen, the one thing that they
Speaker 1: were able to do last year when they didn't have
Speaker 1: those perimeter weapons as they were really able to establish
Speaker 1: them as there one to punch. That's your threat. That's
Speaker 1: where Trubisky is going to be his most comfortable, the
Speaker 1: fact that he's been using Cohen. And it's not like
Speaker 1: he's just getting six yard completions here either, sixty three catches,
Speaker 1: six seventy nine yards, four touchdowns, a long of seventy.
Speaker 1: He can make plays. So yeah, that it isn't exactly
Speaker 1: I think what Atlanta possesses in terms of just the
Speaker 1: across the board explosiveness, but there's enough there that if
Speaker 1: the Bears are suffocating you defensively, they're going to be
Speaker 1: able to get enough points to win. Yeah. And the
Speaker 1: one thing that I would say is the X factor
Speaker 1: with this Bears offense that you really have to pay
Speaker 1: attention to because there's certainly plenty of film on it
Speaker 1: to this point as we get into December, and that's
Speaker 1: the scrambling of Mistrud that's right too. Yes, absolutely, he's
Speaker 1: got I believe he's closing in on four hundred rushing
Speaker 1: yards on the season. I think he has three rushing
Speaker 1: touchdowns to go with his passing touchdowns. And like I said,
Speaker 1: I haven't watched a ton of Chicago Bears football this year,
Speaker 1: but when the Packers were on their bye week, I
Speaker 1: did sit and watch pretty much start to finish the
Speaker 1: Bears game against the Patriots. That was that Soldier field
Speaker 1: and Mr Rubisky just kept tucking the ball and running
Speaker 1: and I just kept waiting like, Okay, when is this
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick defense going to adjust and take away the
Speaker 1: scrambling Trubisky. Now, the Patriots eventually did win that game,
Speaker 1: but Trubisky with his scrambling was single handedly keeping the
Speaker 1: Bears in it and gave them a chance to win
Speaker 1: that game all the way up until the end. This guy,
Speaker 1: this guy is dangerous when he runs with the football.
Speaker 1: He's a good athlete. He's he's savvy and smart with
Speaker 1: where he runs and when he slides. And I think
Speaker 1: from the Packers point of view, defensive game plan wise,
Speaker 1: you don't want to rush Mitch Trubisky to sack him.
Speaker 1: You want to rush him to make him throw the ball,
Speaker 1: because if you try to go after the sacks, he
Speaker 1: will get away and he will burn you and move
Speaker 1: the chains with his legs. Yeah, it's incredible, and I'm
Speaker 1: glad you point that out because I was. I was
Speaker 1: meaning too about ten minutes ago when I forgot to
Speaker 1: bring this aspect up of his game, because I think
Speaker 1: that's when you look at the two running backs and
Speaker 1: what they do there. He's the counter to at He
Speaker 1: can check it down to Cohen, he can tuck it
Speaker 1: and scramble it, he can find a guy on the perimeter.
Speaker 1: There's all those different assets than he has available in
Speaker 1: his fingertips. In a credit to Trabisky, he seems to
Speaker 1: do a pretty good job of not panicking and being like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I got aboard the play and scramble. He looks at
Speaker 1: it much like Aaron Rodgers looks like at it is
Speaker 1: that if your guy's covered, you're the you're the hat,
Speaker 1: you're the unclaimed guy. You know, go and get your yards.
Speaker 1: And he's been able to do that. The Bears like
Speaker 1: that about him when they drafted him out of North Carolina.
Speaker 1: They saw that playmaking ability with him, and it's the
Speaker 1: thing that can really give you headaches for a defense
Speaker 1: as the game goes on. So how the Packers planned
Speaker 1: to attack that? Do you have someone spying him? What
Speaker 1: kind of concepts are you looking at all things that
Speaker 1: Mike Petton's gonna have on the table. But to your
Speaker 1: original point, rushing to contain him and keeping him in
Speaker 1: the pocket is going to be one of the big
Speaker 1: keys I think for the Packers to pull out a
Speaker 1: victory here. Yeah, I think if the Packers can contain
Speaker 1: that running game as you mentioned before, and not let
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard really kind of get rolling downhill, so to speak.
Speaker 1: You limit the explosive plays of Cohen, whether that's in
Speaker 1: the running game or the passing game, and you make
Speaker 1: Mits Rubinsky throw the ball. And if in December weather
Speaker 1: in Chicago, now I understand it's not going to be
Speaker 1: too awfully cold for the middle of December down there
Speaker 1: on Sunday, But if Mitch Drubisky is going to beat
Speaker 1: you with his arm, then you tip your cap to him,
Speaker 1: but you don't let him. Don't don't let him just
Speaker 1: bail himself out by running for first down. The Packers
Speaker 1: have to be smart with uh with how they rush him.
Speaker 1: And how they get pressure on him. And I think
Speaker 1: the big thing too is the pressure Mike. I mean
Speaker 1: you look at some of these matchups. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: for example, that Detroit game from a little over a
Speaker 1: month ago. Now, he threw for three five yards and
Speaker 1: three touchdowns and the Lions were only able to get
Speaker 1: to him once in that game. Uh. The Bears are
Speaker 1: banged up on their offensive line. They lost Kyle Long
Speaker 1: for the year that they've had to weather. I think
Speaker 1: Eric cushes out too, So I mean being able to
Speaker 1: generate some pressure against that front and make things uncomfortable
Speaker 1: for Rubinsky. Um, this is a big challenge for Mike Petton.
Speaker 1: As much as we're gonna talk about Joe Philbin and
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and to find ways to get to Vic
Speaker 1: Fangio's defense defensively, the Packers doing this same thing too,
Speaker 1: Trabiski and company is going to be really important. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well it's I think it's going to be a whale
Speaker 1: of a football game Packers Bears in December, with as
Speaker 1: much on the line as there is, it should be
Speaker 1: a fun one. But for now we're gonna call it
Speaker 1: a wrap on this edition of Packers unscripted. Be sure
Speaker 1: to follow all of our coverage of the team on
