1 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Packers Unscripted from 2 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: Packers dot Com. I am Mike Spofford, joined as always 3 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: by my trusted colleague Weston Hadko it'z. We're coming to 4 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: you here from our studios at Lambeufield to look ahead 5 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: to Sunday. It is a noon kickoff between the Packers 6 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: and Buccaneers at Lambeufield and it's on CBS WES. It 7 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: was switched from Fox to CBS, so just so you're aware, 8 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: and so the folks out there don't automatically go to 9 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: Fox to look for the Packers in an NFC game. 10 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: In nineteen ninety seven, if I would have told you 11 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 2: the Packers are going to play the Buccaneers an NFC 12 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 2: Central game on CBS, you would have never believed me. 13 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't have believed you. But this is the 14 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: world in which we live. We'll take a look at 15 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: this Buccaneers club because you talk about a game that 16 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: is awfully big for both squads. Here in the middle 17 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: of December. Tampa Bay started the season two and zero yep, 18 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: then lost seven out of nine over the next two 19 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: and a half months. But now suddenly they've won two 20 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: in a row. They've gotten to six and seven. I 21 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: think most importantly is they are coming off of a 22 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: big road win in the NFC South. They went into Atlanta, 23 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: pulled out a win in the final thirty seconds or 24 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: so against the Falcons to create this three way tie 25 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: in the NFC South with the Falcons, Buccaneers, and Saints 26 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: all sitting at six and seven. So Tampa Bay got 27 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: the win it needed last week to be able to say, 28 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: all right, this division title is there for the taking 29 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: and the Packers are the next team in their way. 30 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: I think it was Kenny Clark in the locker room 31 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 2: on Wednesday night who was saying, I mean, this is 32 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: a big game for both teams. Yeah, very different reasons. Certainly, 33 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: you need every victory you can get and then figure 34 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: out from there whether or not that means wild card 35 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: or whether that in the Buccaneers case, community Vision title. 36 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: But I look at a lot of parallels between these 37 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: two squads because while Tampa is much more veteran lateen 38 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: than Green Bay is, they had to work through some things. 39 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: Mid season was not looking good at all, but they've 40 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 2: righted the ship a little bit. They've won some turnover 41 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: differential battles. I think Baker Mayfield Buy and Large has 42 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: played pretty well as of light, and Rashad White has 43 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: been getting going as well defensively. 44 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 3: There is a lot of parallels. 45 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 2: Between what the Bucks are going through and what Green 46 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 2: Bay is going through. 47 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: They are a herding unit. 48 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 2: If you saw neither team practiced on Wednesday, the Bucks 49 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 2: held a walk through. The Packers didn't even do anything. 50 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 2: They just didn't meetings. And if you look at the 51 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 2: injury reports you can tell why. Packers a lot of 52 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: things going on there. Tampa Bay, Vita Veya didn't practice, 53 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 2: Devin White would not have practiced, Carlton Davis didn't practice. 54 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 2: I mean, there are so many injuries on that side 55 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: of the ball for the Buccaneers. But be that as 56 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: May game will be played at noon Central start time 57 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: on Sunday, and one of these two teams is going 58 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 2: to have to come out on top. 59 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, And with regard to the Buccaneers, I mean, really 60 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: you can't overstate how big that win was for them 61 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: last week in Atlanta, because if they lose that game, 62 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: they are two games behind the Falcons in the division 63 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: with only four games left to play, so the division 64 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: title is practically out the window and then they would 65 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: also be at five and eight and on the outside 66 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: looking in at this whole mess of teams, you know, 67 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: seven and six, six and seven fighting for these wild 68 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: card spots. So just an enormous win for them. And 69 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: you know they got they got points in that game, 70 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: like from anywhere and any time they needed. I mean, 71 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, they got a pick six from Carlton Davis, 72 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: they got a safety from Antoine Winfield on a blitz, 73 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: and as I said, Baker Mayfield after the Falcons had 74 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: scored with about two and a half minutes to go, 75 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter got a touchdown, Baker Mayfield took, took the 76 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: Buccaneers the length of the field, they scored with about 77 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: thirty seconds left, and then made a tackle of Drake 78 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: London inside the five yard line on the final play 79 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: of the game to preserve that victory. Baker Mayfield West, 80 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: We've seen him before, and in fact, this will be 81 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: the third consecutive year we're going to see him in 82 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: lambeau Field. In December two years ago on Christmas, he 83 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: was the quarterback for the Browns. Last year in December 84 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: on a Monday night, he was sort of the emergency 85 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams. He had just been 86 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: signed off the street, you know, ten days before that, 87 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: it had played in a Thursday night game the previous week. 88 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: Now he's with the Buccaneers, and you know, this is 89 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: a guy who's who's seen it all and done that. 90 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: He's been in playoff pushes before, he's won a playoff 91 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: game as the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns. You're not 92 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: gonna get anything past Baker Mayfield in terms of in 93 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: terms of surprising him with anything necessarily, but he is 94 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: a quarterback who can be pressured into a mistake here there. 95 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: And the Packers have gotten their share of interceptions off 96 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: of him when he's played in this stadium. Yeah, I 97 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: believe it's five, right, five in those last two games. 98 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, So, I mean, Baker is undeniably an NFL starting quarterback. 99 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: It was good to see him get this opportunity with 100 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay this year because when he went in with 101 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: the Rams, and it's a. 102 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 3: Very unique coincidence that it worked out the way it did. 103 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 2: That he's played Green Bay as much as he has, 104 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 2: but just how everything unfolded with the Panthers, it just 105 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: it didn't feel right, and I think I view this 106 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 2: opportunity now that he has with Tampa's more of the 107 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: get right, comeback, second chance after obviously Cleveland win a 108 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 2: much different direction, and he can make all the throws. 109 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 3: He was a number one overall pick for a reason. 110 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 3: He's a gamer. 111 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: He's seen these moments now I think he's benefited from them, 112 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: and he's obviously built up a rapport with that receiving corps. 113 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 2: Chris Godwin's numbers aren't really there this season, but Mike 114 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 2: Evans continues to perform and produce in a big way, 115 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: and he's also found a nice secondary option with White 116 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: as a pass catcher. So Packers still have their hands 117 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: in their work cutout for him. But you do look 118 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 2: at some of the things that has happened with Mayfield 119 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: in the past. He is going to give you a 120 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 2: couple chances throughout the course of the game. It really 121 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: comes down to whether or not the defense capitalize on it. 122 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you and you and I were talking before 123 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: we turn the cameras on here about Mike Evans, who 124 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: you know, the guy has He's been in the league 125 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: ten seasons, including this year. This is his tenth year. 126 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: He's had over a thousand yards receiving every single year. 127 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever played fewer than thirteen games 128 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: in a season. I mean, his durability has been impressive. 129 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: He's well over eleven thousand career career yards. Now excuse me, and. 130 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 3: It's hard to say. 131 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 1: He's I mean the I was asked an insider inbox, 132 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: so what do you do? What do you do to 133 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: slow down Mike Evans? And it's like, well, the guy's 134 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: got ten straight thousand yard seasons. If somebody had figured 135 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: out a way to slow him down, it would have 136 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: happened by now right. I mean, he's a To me, 137 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: what I've seen in the times that we've seen Mike 138 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: Evans against the Packers and in other times when I've 139 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: seen the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play, it just seems like, 140 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: whoever's quarterback is, you know, it was Tom Brady, now 141 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: it's Baker Mayfield, other guys previously. It seems to me 142 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: that the quarterback just waits for the opportunity when the 143 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: defense is in a call that leaves Mike Evans one 144 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: on one and then the ball is going that way 145 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: because it isn't. They aren't fifty to fifty balls with 146 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: him when it's one on one, it's more like eighty twenty. 147 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: He comes down with the ball more often than not, 148 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: and you can't double cover him every play. You can't 149 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: provide safety help on every single play. No defense can 150 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: really do that throughout the entire course of a game. 151 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: And he just always maximizes on his opportunities when he 152 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: gets a one on one chance. 153 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's kind of the more I think about it, 154 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: he's almost like the NFC's version of Keenan Allen. 155 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 3: Where I think. 156 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: It is, that's exactly what I said. 157 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 3: Did you really I haven't even had a chance to 158 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 3: read it. 159 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, you hadn't. You hadn't, And that's exactly what I said. 160 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: He's he's like Keenan Allen and that he just keeps 161 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: putting up numbers and producing, and yet not a whole 162 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: lot of people talk about how good this guy is well, 163 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: and I. 164 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 2: Think a big reason for that is because it ended 165 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: up taking him six years to make a playoff. Yeah, 166 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: and unfortunately, kind of like Alan, we're missing a really good, 167 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: potential Hall of Fame career just because we're not putting 168 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: enough spotlight on the guy. Yeah, he's almost like an 169 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: early Elbert Poolholtz box Score. My friend Scott Vince's the 170 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 2: one that gave me this analogy where it's like when 171 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: you look at the back of a trading card, it's 172 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 2: just perfect. There's no injury season, there's no hey, he 173 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 2: had fifteen catches as a rookie. No, it's just it's 174 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: all production from the day he walked in the door. 175 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: Yep. 176 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 2: And certainly he's a player. And I love these guys 177 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 2: because they're becoming fewer and farer between. But a guy 178 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 2: that has been with one franchise, he won a Super 179 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: Bowl with that franchise, and despite a litany of differ 180 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 2: from quarterbacks throwing him the football, he's done. It doesn't 181 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 2: matter if it was Josh McCown or Tom Brady. He's 182 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 2: been able to accomplish a lot in this league. And 183 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 2: I actually have to take some ownership of this as well, 184 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: because I overlooked him and I paid the price in 185 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: my fantasy league this year because I had to make 186 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 2: a decision. I don't know if it was the fifth 187 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: or sixth round. I made a decision between him and 188 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: Chris Godwin. I drafted Chris Godwin. That didn't work out 189 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: so hot for me because I thought maybe slot receiver 190 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: type beck of vibes, he'll joe with Baker Mayfield. No, 191 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 2: the guy has been and will continue to be Mike 192 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 2: Evans and six foot five, two hundred and thirty pounds. 193 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 2: I mean, for all the respect we gave Megatron throughout 194 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 2: his career, I feel like in a lot of ways 195 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: we definitely haven't given Evans enough flowers of his own. 196 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and you mentioned Rashad White earlier as well, 197 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: and he has been a producer as far as the 198 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: receiving yards out of the backfield for this Buccaneers offense. 199 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: But the other thing you have to look at right 200 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: now with what's going on with this Tampa Bay offense 201 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: is how White is run the ball. For the season, 202 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers are ranked twenty ninth in the league in 203 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: rushing offense. Honestly, that doesn't mean anything at all, because 204 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: if you just look at the last three games, Rashad 205 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: White has two hundred and eighty six yards of four 206 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: point eight average yards per carry over the last three games. 207 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: Two of the last three he's hit one hundred yards rushing. 208 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: That's not that they are no longer the twenty ninth 209 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: ranked rushing offense in the league. What they've done recently 210 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: is what they're hanging their hat on offensively, and with 211 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: the Packers coming off of another rough game defending the run, 212 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: they've got to shore that up because you can't let 213 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay come in here and control time of possession 214 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: and control the game with the running back, because then 215 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: it gets a lot harder to get after Baker Mayfield. 216 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Tampa's one of these rare teams in this 217 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: day and age where they just feature one bellcow back 218 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 2: in a lot of ways. They did it with Leonard 219 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 2: Fournette before this as well, and White has been the guy. 220 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: I don't think anybody else has over three hundred rushing 221 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: on the season. I think he's pretty much been the 222 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 2: dude for them. And now four of his all four 223 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: of his games with over twenty carries have come in 224 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 2: the last six weeks. 225 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 3: Again, it just. 226 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: Reemphasizes that they're continuing to feed them the ball and 227 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 2: they're getting better returns out of that. A capable back. 228 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 2: I think everybody felt like this year, you know, everyone 229 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 2: understood he was going to be RB one for them, 230 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 2: and he gives them some versatility, gives Baker mayfield some 231 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,599 Speaker 2: different options in which to use them. But at the 232 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 2: end of the day, even though they've made this switch 233 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,599 Speaker 2: from Bruce Aerons now to what Todd Bowles is the 234 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: head coach and now they have a new offensive coordinator 235 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 2: now as well, they still kind of stuck to a 236 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 2: very similar blueprint for how they want to structure their 237 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 2: offense and as of late, it's been very successful. 238 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: Well on the defensive side of the ball. It's a 239 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: unit that in some ways has been tough to figure out. 240 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: And I know that they they've been dealing with injuries, 241 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, and that certainly plays into it. But 242 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: just looking at the statistics, they're twenty seventh in the 243 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: league in yards allowed, but only thirteenth in points allowed, 244 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: and a big reason for that is turnovers. The Tampa 245 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers are actually plus six internal over margin for 246 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: the year, which is not a number you would normally 247 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: see for a team that is six and seven. You know, 248 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: that is hovering around that five hundred mark. But it 249 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: is a defense that has taken the ball away. I 250 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: think that is what has helped keep points off the board, 251 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: even though they have surrendered a lot of yards. And 252 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: the other thing that really sticks out to me, Wes 253 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: is that from a pressure perspective, they have six different 254 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: guys on this defense that have four or more sacks 255 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: on the ear one of those being Antoine Winfield, who's 256 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: a nickelback slash safety slash do it all dB. And 257 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: when I talk about six guys with four plus sacks, 258 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: that doesn't include two of the biggest names on the 259 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: defense and Levante David and Devin White, who have three 260 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: and two sacks respectively. And I know those guys have 261 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: dealt with some injuries and missed some time, but my goodness, 262 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: six guys with four plus sacks, plus you still have 263 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: David and White if both of those guys are available 264 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: to play. 265 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 3: How exciting is Antoine Winfield as a football player? 266 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: Wow? 267 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 2: I mean when you look at this, Michael. I will 268 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 2: get to those inside backers here shortly. But Winfield is 269 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 2: a guy that in twenty twenty, when the Packers are 270 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 2: having that back and forth with Tampa was you just 271 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 2: sometimes you look at a rookie and you're like, this 272 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 2: is this is the guy and it's not just because 273 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 2: of what his name is. He has everything you look for. Yeah, 274 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 2: ninety seven tackles, which leads the team for them eleven 275 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 2: passes defense, he's picked off two of those, four force fumbles, 276 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 2: three fumble recoveries, and yeah, he's also added four sacks. 277 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: He's an all round playmaker. And as Bill Huber was 278 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 2: asking of Jordan Love in the locker room on Wednesday evening, 279 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 2: you know, you can't really even diagnose where he's going 280 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: to be at any given time. He's used kind of 281 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 2: in the same way that Charles Woodson was used near 282 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 2: the end of his run in Green Bay. 283 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 3: He's listed to safety, but you're going to see him 284 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 3: in the slot. They could blitz him. 285 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 2: They have depth in the secondary depending on what happens 286 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: with Ryan Neil here. 287 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 3: But he's a guy that is going to be everywhere. 288 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: He reminds me, frankly, and the Woodson thing is interesting 289 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: to me. He reminds me of Troy Paulamalu, except without 290 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: the size. He's not as big as Polamalu was and 291 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: obviously without the hair. 292 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 3: Yeah that part two, and maybe he just reminds you 293 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 3: of his dad too. 294 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: But when you talk about a guy who's lining up 295 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: everywhere and has a chance to make an impact defensively 296 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: from almost any spot on the field. That was Paula Malu. 297 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: That's why he's in the Hall of Fame. And Antoine 298 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: Winfield is still very young, long way to go, but man, 299 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: this guy can play. 300 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 3: First three four years in the league. It's incredible what 301 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 3: he's done. 302 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 2: And when you think of that star kind of defensive 303 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 2: back that you throw on a guy, he certainly fits 304 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: the bill. 305 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 3: Levonte David and Devin White though. 306 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: Those guys are I think the prototype, and they've been 307 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 2: the prototype for years. 308 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 3: Of how you want to develop a defense. 309 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 2: A veteran that is wise beyond his years but still 310 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 2: plays an exceptionally high level. In David, yeah, second on 311 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: the team and tackles. This season, I think he was 312 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 2: now up to thirty three ish around that area. Remarkable 313 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: the way he's been able to adjust his game. And 314 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 2: I remember three years ago saying, this guy that's not 315 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 2: getting enough love. He's been one of the top inside 316 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 2: backers in this league for years, but no one's given 317 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 2: him credit for it. He's definitely gotten his flowers now 318 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: at this point. Devin White, I think is dealing with 319 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 2: the foot injury right now. We'll have to see exactly 320 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 2: where he's at in this one, but is the number 321 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 2: two to that, and then via Vita via Veya is 322 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 2: one of the most exciting defensive linemen in this league. 323 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: He's been that way for a number of years. Just 324 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: a monstrous human being that also is incredibly athletic for 325 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 2: a guy his size. 326 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean how many how many teams have their 327 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: leading sack guy for the season be an interior defensive alignment. 328 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's he's a problem. I mean, 329 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: he's he's tough to handle. 330 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's not it's not even like the Aaron 331 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: Donald thing where Donald's just going everywhere you're gonna find him. 332 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 2: But three two three, and he's gonna push your in two. 333 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: It is gonna be He's gonna be somewhere. He's gonna 334 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: be somewhere in there, and you've got to be ready 335 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: to handle him. 336 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 2: But to be honest with you, I haven't watched enough 337 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 2: Tampa this year to explain exactly why they've been so 338 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: far down the list in terms of their past defense. 339 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 2: I think they're third from the bottom of the league. 340 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 2: Their their run defense has been fine, but I mean, overall, 341 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 2: as you mentioned, the yards allowed this year are up there. 342 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: The teams have been able to move the ball on them. 343 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 2: But they've played well situationally and been able to keep 344 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: some teams off the board too. And when you look 345 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 2: at a team that again has gotten on a little 346 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 2: bit of a winning streak here late, a lot of 347 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 2: times it's going to come down to keeping the opposing 348 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 2: team out of the end zone. 349 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we'll get to our Keys to Victory in 350 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: just a second. I'll take care of a little bit 351 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: of sponsor business.

When I say what's it going 359 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: to take for the Packers to win this ballgame? What 360 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: is at the top of your list? 361 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to put on my Mike Spofford Week 362 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 2: fourteen hat and tell you that it's going to come 363 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 2: down to running the ball and stopping the run. We 364 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 2: know that the dangers that lurk there with this passing 365 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 2: offense of Tampa Bay. You can't allow them to get 366 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 2: into a rhythm and get white going and have to 367 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 2: defend them on both fronts. That is not a key 368 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 2: for victory defensive or offensively. I should say We're gonna 369 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 2: have to wait and see how this week unfolds for 370 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 2: Aaron Jones. I know he told Rob Reichel in the 371 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: locker room on Wednesday that he wasn't really expecting to 372 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 2: go Monday. It was more about trying to be ready 373 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 2: for this one. 374 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 3: Have to see. 375 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 2: He said, he's probably gonna practice on Thursday. We've shot 376 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: this before we go out there for practice, so we'll 377 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 2: have to check it out. AJ Dillon is dealing with 378 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: a thumb injury now. He was listed as a DMP 379 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 2: on Wednesday. Don't exactly know what his status is going 380 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 2: to be. He has yet to miss a game in 381 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 2: his career due to injury. He's only missed one because 382 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 2: only missed a couple because of COVID right back in 383 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 2: twenty twenty, so he's been a workhorse for them. But 384 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 2: if you get Aaron Jones back, that still gives you 385 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 2: one of your faces of the run game, independent of 386 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 2: what's going on with aj Dillon and ultimately Mike as 387 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 2: much as we're going to talk about Christian Watson and 388 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 2: these receivers and you're not sure what's gonna happen with 389 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 2: don Tavian Wicks with the ankle. You go back to 390 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 2: the original structure of this offense from week one, and 391 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 2: we talked about Aaron Jones, how this offense was going 392 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 2: to need him. It's taken a while. It's been an 393 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 2: inconsistent year and the injury front. I know, he's had 394 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 2: some fits and starts, looked great in the opener against 395 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,239 Speaker 2: the Bears, and then just hasn't been able to get 396 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 2: back into a rhythm again. You hope the hamstring is 397 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 2: behind him. You hope that we're getting close to the 398 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 2: need being behind him and the Packers can mount a 399 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 2: playoff push here with their Pro Bowl running back. 400 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm totally with you, you know, with regard 401 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: to the stop the run, run the ball thing again. 402 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: You know what you and I were talking about it 403 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: earlier this week after we got back from the game 404 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: in Jersey. And as much as you know Jaden Reid, 405 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: who fortunately doesn't have a concussion and is just dealing 406 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: with an ankle injury and sounds like potentially he's trending 407 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: to play, but most importantly does not have a concussion 408 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: was put in the concussion protocol, So that's good news 409 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: for this Packers receiving corps that certainly is banged up, 410 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: you know. But Reid had the sixteen yard touchdown run. 411 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: He had the twenty yard run on the end around 412 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: on the Packers first play of the second half. Late 413 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: in the first half, Patrick Taylor, I believe, busted off 414 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: a fourteen yard run. But the big thing that was 415 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: missing from the Packers running game was aj Dillon on 416 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: a just a traditional you know, not in a two 417 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: minute drill type of thing like it was with Taylor 418 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: at the end of the first half, but just traditional 419 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: running the ball, being able to being able to bust 420 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: one of those runs to turn into an explosive whether 421 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: it be fifteen or twenty yards or something like that. 422 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: That didn't happen. Dylan was productive, but the Packers weren't 423 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: able to get any of those big runs, and it 424 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: just felt like because none of the traditional runs were 425 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: really keeping the Giants on their heels. Ye the play 426 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: action game wasn't you know, it didn't. It didn't get 427 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,239 Speaker 1: the def to react the way you want it to. 428 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: And that's a credit to the Giants. They were able 429 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: to do what they needed to do. But if you 430 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: can run the ball between the tackles and just get 431 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: one explosive one here, a ten yard run, here, a 432 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: twelve yard run there, it starts to put the defense 433 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: on their heels. And then and then Jordan Love with 434 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: the play action game where which is where I think 435 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: he is absolutely one at his best, is out of 436 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: play action. I think that's the key to getting this 437 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: offense back into a rhythm instead of you know, all 438 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: of kind of the fits and starts that we saw 439 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: on Monday night, which had followed up some really good 440 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: weeks of offensive football. 441 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't have any pro football focused stats 442 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 2: for you or some you know, deep introspective analytics, but 443 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 2: it just seems like when you have to go eleven 444 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 2: personnel out of shotgun it is third and nine, that 445 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 2: just has not been a successful way for Green Bay 446 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 2: to go about, you know, winning this season. There's been 447 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 2: some long conversions and there's been some times where Jordan 448 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 2: Love has made some exceptional throws, but a lot of 449 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 2: them seems to come off of things that they've built 450 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 2: and things that they can take. And you know, there's 451 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 2: some that Jordan even touched on when we were talking 452 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 2: to him on Wednesday about the end around and the 453 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 2: reversals and some of the things they were doing. 454 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 3: With Jayden Reid. 455 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,959 Speaker 2: Is that now that you put that on film, the 456 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 2: way that you can build off of that and build 457 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 2: packages that look the same but operate differently. That's the 458 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 2: key in the National Football League. 459 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 3: When you look at the. 460 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 2: Pony package that they did it for a time with 461 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 2: Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. It wasn't just okay, well 462 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 2: there's two running backs back there, who's getting it? It 463 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 2: was okay, now Jones is motioning out, who's following them? 464 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 2: What kind of coverage are they end? What kind of 465 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 2: information can Aaron Rodgers take from that same thing? Now 466 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 2: with some of this motion stuff, when you have guys 467 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 2: like Reid that are coming in motion. When it was 468 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 2: going well the last few weeks, I almost looked at 469 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 2: it as that was the one to running combination, was 470 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 2: what Reid's doing, stretching them horizontally and then north and 471 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 2: south with Aj Dillon. So again we'll have to take stock, 472 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 2: we'll have to see who's available, But certainly a huge 473 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 2: sigh of relief for the Packers that Reid didn't sustain 474 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 2: a concussion on the short week he can be in 475 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 2: the fold. He is dealing with an ankle injury limited 476 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 2: on Wednesday, but Green Bay needs them, especially depending on 477 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 2: what happens here with don Tavian Wicks. If he's unavailable, 478 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 2: that roster and that depth chart for the receiver position 479 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 2: certainly dwindles. 480 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, And the other thing you have to say when 481 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: you're coming off of a game where you turn the 482 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: ball over three times and you look at what Tampa 483 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: Bay has done defensively in terms of takeaways, you've got 484 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: to protect the football. You know, Jordan Love had done 485 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: a tremendous job of protecting the football for a good 486 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: stretch of games for quite a while, but had the 487 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: ball stripped from him on the read option run and 488 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: then you know, made a bad read, bad throw for 489 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: the pick. Those were on back to back possessions against 490 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: the Giants, and then obviously there was the turnover on 491 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: special teams with the muff punt. So you've got to 492 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: protect the ball and then you the formula for beating 493 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield in this league is pretty well known. It's 494 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: pretty standard. You have to force him into a mistake 495 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: or two because he does still have that gunslinger fatality. 496 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: He's going to take his shots. He's going to take 497 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: his chances. But if he's taking that chance when he's 498 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: under pressure, when he's not comfortable, that's when maybe you 499 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: know that that cannon of an arm of his isn't 500 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: entirely accurate, you know what I'm saying. Like, if you 501 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: if he's sitting back there and he's and he's got 502 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: you know, he's got protection, and he's got time, and 503 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: he can scan the whole field and he takes his chance, 504 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: that's a much higher percentage play than when you can 505 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: you know, when you can pressure him, flush him out, 506 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: and then he still wants to try to make that 507 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: big play downfield, that's when potentially a mistake can come. 508 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: I think you have to force Mayfield into a mistake 509 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: or two in this game to help out a Packers 510 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: defense that has been struggling against the run. 511 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and back to back games now without an interception 512 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 2: for him and probably had his arguably his best game 513 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 2: of the year. Even though he only threw for one 514 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 2: touchdown against the Bears, three hundred and seventeen passing yards 515 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 2: which was a season high, and you know, he has 516 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 2: the weapons and he obviously knows how to utilize. He 517 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 2: came in last year with the Rams and he fit 518 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,959 Speaker 2: well into that culture. They had some big emotional moments, 519 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 2: but then after the season was like, no, I'm still 520 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 2: a starting quarterback. There was an opportunity in Tampa to 521 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: prove it Kyle Trast. They didn't want to go that direction. 522 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 2: It was Mayfield and he's trying to prove them right 523 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 2: here during the final four weeks of the season. 524 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, shifting gears to the NFC playoff picture. The 525 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: key games that are coming up this weekend obviously Packers 526 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: and Buccaneers, as we talked about, a big one for 527 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: both squads. A very interesting game on Saturday West because 528 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, now having made a quarterback change to 529 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: Nick Mullins replacing Josh Dobbs, they are traveling to Cincinnati 530 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: to play the Bengals. The Bengals who are right in 531 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: the mix of a crazy wildcard picture in the AFC 532 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: as well. It's one of those things, you know, Obviously, 533 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: any game, any game can go one of two ways. 534 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: But the impact of this game potentially on the whole 535 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: playoff race really is significant, because if the Vikings were 536 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: to lose on Saturday and they drop to seven and seven, 537 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: then all of these teams that are six and seven 538 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: in the NFC, whoever can get to seven and seven, 539 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: you're suddenly tied with them for essentially the last two spots. 540 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: Then it's not just you know, trying to squeeze into 541 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: the last one. Minnesota drops back to seven and seven 542 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: and a bunch of teams catch them, and you know it, 543 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: the picture looks completely different. The flip side is if 544 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: Minnesota wins this game and the Detroit Lions can't get 545 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: themselves back on track and they lose at home to 546 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: a Denver Broncos team that's been playing some pretty good 547 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: football over the last couple of months, suddenly Minnesota is 548 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: only a game back of the Lions, and then they're 549 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: playing the Lions twice in the last three weeks. A 550 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 1: win here by Minnesota and a loss by the Lions 551 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: could put Minnesota for all of their quarterback changes put 552 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: Minnesota in position to possibly win the NFC North again. 553 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 3: We'll talk about this during one of our offseason shows. 554 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,719 Speaker 2: But man, I really don't like how they've done this 555 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 2: with the divisional matchups. 556 00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 3: Like we're just talking about this with the jib. 557 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: I don't know how. I mean, what has happened? What's 558 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: happened here with Minnesota playing their last three games after 559 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: this trip to Cincinnati, their last three games go Detroit, 560 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: Green Bay, Detroit. I don't get that at all, Like, 561 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: how do you not play one of your division rivals 562 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: until Christmas? Like that just doesn't make any That just 563 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: doesn't so. 564 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 3: But be that as it may. 565 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 2: I could totally see why they would have scheduled Detroit 566 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 2: Minnesota for the finale. 567 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 3: It's just to have him two weeks before that is 568 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 3: so weird to make, but it is. 569 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: I agree. 570 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 2: Let's get back to the bones of this thing. Jake 571 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 2: Browning seventy five percent completion percentage looks like a player 572 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 2: right now for Cincinnati going up against the Minnesota defense that, 573 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 2: depending on which metric you look at, among the league's 574 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 2: best right now with what they're doing. 575 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 3: Brian Floores as coordinator. 576 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Browning is dealing with some kind of like 577 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: a forearm injury or something. 578 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 3: It doesn't. It doesn't. 579 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like it's going to keep him out 580 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: of this game based on the reports out of Cincinnati. 581 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: But he is not one hundred percent healthy. And as 582 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: you said, this Minnesota defense, certainly coming off of the shutout, 583 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: know out in Vegas against the Raiders, this Minnesota defense 584 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: under Brian Flores is really starting to hit its stride. 585 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and looking quickly at Detroit there because you were 586 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 2: the one that actually brought it up to me. I mean, 587 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: Denver finds a way to beat Detroit at Ford Field. 588 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 2: They've suddenly swept the NFC North this year, and that's 589 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 2: where really their turnaround even began when you look at 590 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 2: the win. 591 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 3: That they had over Green Bay. 592 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 2: So obviously Packer fans for no reason other than just 593 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 2: to cheer against them, certainly a cheer against the Lions, 594 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 2: certainly big Denver fans this weekend. And then just quickly 595 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 2: I want to mention this as well. I mean, the 596 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 2: Bears are going to be taken on the Browns. Joe 597 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 2: Flacco has played relatively well. Certainly Cleveland's defense is what 598 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 2: they're hoping to ride here. That'll be a big test 599 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 2: for Justin Fields and everybody's kind of within lockstep of 600 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 2: one another. So each one of these games, I could 601 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 2: say this week is a big week, but I think, honestly, 602 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 2: like these next four weeks, we're going to keep saying 603 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 2: this just because of how close this positioning is entering 604 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 2: this final stretch of the season. 605 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and when you look at the other games that 606 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 1: that affect NFC wild Card picture, I'll just rattle them 607 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: off here, Wes, and I'll let you comment on what 608 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: you want to. But the Giants, who obviously just beat 609 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: the Packers, they go down to New Orleans to face 610 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: these six and seven Saints. Washington, coming off of a 611 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: bye week, will go visit the six and seven Rams, 612 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: and Washington has not been playing well. But maybe you know, 613 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: as Packer fans, you're gonna cheer for Washington here to 614 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: try to beat the Rams. Maybe the fact that they're 615 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: coming off a bye week they can get something straightened 616 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 1: out and compete with the Rams. Atlanta also now six 617 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: and seven after their loss to Tampa Bay last week, 618 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: they traveled to Carolina to face a Panthers team that 619 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: the Packers will be playing a week from now. And 620 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: then the I believe it's the Monday night game is 621 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: Philadelphia is at Seattle. Suddenly. The Eagles have lost two 622 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: in a row to very very good teams. But a 623 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: ten to one Eagles team is now ten and three 624 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: and in a fight for their lives for a division 625 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: titles so they don't get relegated to a wild card spot. 626 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: And the Seattle Seahawks sitting at six and seven. They've 627 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: had a very tough schedule and they've kind of hit 628 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: the skids a little bit lately, losing twice to their 629 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: division rivals San Francisco. I don't know what Seattle's quarterback 630 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: situation is, if Gino Smith is going to be back 631 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: for Monday Night or not, but a lot of eyeballs, 632 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: both in terms of the top of the conference and 633 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: the wild card picture will be on that Monday night 634 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: game with the Eagles against the Seahawks. 635 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 2: First time during the Pete Carroll John Schneider era that 636 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 2: Seattle has lost four straight games as well, so things 637 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 2: have been so it's. 638 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: Four in a row now for Yeah, I didn't realize 639 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: that it was up. 640 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, they lost to the Rams before facing forty nine 641 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 2: Ers Cowboys forty nine ers. Because again, these division games 642 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 2: have to be played within three weeks of each other. 643 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 2: But either way, I mean bringing it back to it, 644 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 2: and what we talked about on yesterday's show on Wednesday 645 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 2: show is that the Packers they didn't gain anything last week, 646 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 2: but they didn't really lose anything either, so. 647 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: They missed it. They missed an opportunity to put themselves 648 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: in a better position. But the bottom line is, you know, 649 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: all these teams are at six and seven and right 650 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: now six and seven is the seventh playoff spot. So 651 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: it's you just you, uh, It's it's like every we 652 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: say this a lot, but even more so this time 653 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: of year. It's like every week is just a one 654 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: game season. You got to go out and win the 655 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: game and then you take a look at where things 656 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: stand after that. It's all about going out and winning 657 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: your game, because that that's the one thing, that's the 658 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: one thing that you have control over everything else. In 659 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: this crazy nutty league where all sorts of wild stuff happens, 660 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: that it that's all gonna happen. There's nothing anybody can 661 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: do about. All you can do is go out and 662 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: play your own game. 663 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 2: And fans don't realize this type of stuff, but carenton 664 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 2: Valentine after the game, on on Monday Night.

You've not been 673 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 2: good on the road this year, but you're four and 674 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 2: two at home. They've won three in a row.
