Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford and he is the one and
Speaker 1: only West Hodkowits were coming to here from our studios
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field and West A lot to digest here
Speaker 1: on today's show, because just before coming in here and
Speaker 1: turning on the cameras, we heard from head coach Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy in his season ending news conference. It lasted I
Speaker 1: believe roughly thirty three minutes. Okay, that's uh. I've been
Speaker 1: here for all of McCarthy's coaching career and I can
Speaker 1: tell you that that is the longest season ending news
Speaker 1: conference he's ever had. It's a reflection, obviously, of all
Speaker 1: the change that's going on here at twelve sixty five
Speaker 1: Lombardi Avenue. UM, but an interesting, an interesting day in
Speaker 1: the lambeau Field oud ofitur. It certainly is Mike. I
Speaker 1: think last year McCarthy's final news conference, now mindy, there
Speaker 1: was basically no coaching changes that happened after last season
Speaker 1: was about twenty three minutes, nineteen minutes of questions from
Speaker 1: what I gathered. UH, this year, he had a very
Speaker 1: short intro, A lot of it were questions. Some of
Speaker 1: the things that came out of that, Beginning with Dom
Speaker 1: Caper's no longer the defensive coordinator. Scott McCurley and Mike Turkovac,
Speaker 1: the assistant linebackers coach in defensive line coach, respectively, both
Speaker 1: also have been parting ways at the organization. On the
Speaker 1: offensive side, Edgar Bennett situation still fluid, but the offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator position is going to look different. Alex Van pel
Speaker 1: choosing to let his contract run out now a free
Speaker 1: agent so he won't be back as the quarterbacks coach,
Speaker 1: and then also Tim McGarrigle, who was the defensive quality
Speaker 1: control coach, has also pursuing different opportunities. So for me,
Speaker 1: during my time on the beat, how this line's up,
Speaker 1: Mike the most changes other than you know, maybe the
Speaker 1: shuffling that they did in two thousand and fourteen, A
Speaker 1: lot of that was promotions, though it wasn't so much
Speaker 1: guys being you know, parting ways with the team. So
Speaker 1: very interested to see how the situation plays out now,
Speaker 1: but definitely offensive defensive coordinator positions are going to look
Speaker 1: different in two yeah, and certainly the biggest coaching shakeup
Speaker 1: since uh the the after the Packers last non playoff
Speaker 1: season in two thousand and eight, when the entire defensive
Speaker 1: coaching staff really except for one or two individuals, was replaced.
Speaker 1: And unlike that time nine years ago, I guess if
Speaker 1: I'm doing my math right, um, this time Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: isn't talking so much about defensive scheme. He you know,
Speaker 1: he really wanted to switch from that four three to
Speaker 1: the three four when he brought in Dom Caper's in
Speaker 1: early two thousand nine. This time he's not talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, scheme and numbers and this and that. It's
Speaker 1: about finding the right defensive coordinator that is is going
Speaker 1: to have the same vision for the type of defense
Speaker 1: that he wants to play, the style of defense he
Speaker 1: wants to play, the xs and ohs. The schematic part
Speaker 1: of it is secondary in a sense. And he did
Speaker 1: mention three internal candidates for the job, associated head coach
Speaker 1: Winston Moss, safety's coach Darren Perry, cornerbacks coach Joe Witt Jr.
Speaker 1: But he will also interview some external candidates for for
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. This is going to be a very interesting
Speaker 1: decision for Mike McCarthy. The first thing I want to
Speaker 1: start off with their mike is the scheme situation? Because
Speaker 1: you and I get the question all the time, well,
Speaker 1: is it the right time to move back to a
Speaker 1: four three? Nick Perry was asked about it in the
Speaker 1: final locker room as well, people, and it isn't any
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to single anybody out. We need to
Speaker 1: stop focusing so much on that. And it's not just
Speaker 1: in Green Bay, it's in the entire NFL. Base defenses
Speaker 1: are run about fifteen percent of the time right now,
Speaker 1: and even at that mike, if you watch the Packers
Speaker 1: very closely this past season, they had a three four
Speaker 1: base and they had a four three base variant where
Speaker 1: you had Clay Matthews or Kyler Facro playing off the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage as basically a traditional four three inside
Speaker 1: middle linebacker. So that is different. What is ultimately when
Speaker 1: you get to nickel and dime personnel. In most cases,
Speaker 1: if you're going even strength, you have four pass rushers
Speaker 1: going after the quarterback. Doesn't matter what your basic philosophy is,
Speaker 1: the one on one concept is your four maybe five.
Speaker 1: If you send a blitz, rushers need to beat those
Speaker 1: offensive linemen need to beat the running back in protection
Speaker 1: you need to get after the quarterback. And I think
Speaker 1: that's the one takeaway I really got from McCarthy looking
Speaker 1: at the vision for two thousand eighteen. With the defense,
Speaker 1: it's finding the right guys to make everything fit defensively
Speaker 1: and to really get the production that they felt they
Speaker 1: really had that first month of the season before things
Speaker 1: started to get away from them a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. You know, Mike McCarthy reference the season
Speaker 1: opener against Seattle. Now, granted, Seattle ended up not being
Speaker 1: a playoff team, just like the Packers ended up not
Speaker 1: being a playoff team, but that performance in Week one
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field, that's that's the type of defense that
Speaker 1: McCarthy envisions. He got it established at the start of
Speaker 1: but now it's a matter of having that the roster makeup,
Speaker 1: the way the players are developed, especially young players developed
Speaker 1: all of that to be able to carry it through
Speaker 1: for an entire season, to be able to continue to
Speaker 1: play that way. And uh, and that's that's really his
Speaker 1: goal and his vision for the upcoming season. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it isn't as you said, it's not just the defense
Speaker 1: either offensively that there's some soul searching they need to do.
Speaker 1: As well trying to to find a way to bounce
Speaker 1: back from this. Certainly they lost the kingpin, they lost
Speaker 1: the biggest piece to this equation for Aaron with Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers for the better part of ten games last season. Uh,
Speaker 1: that is going to be something that makes everything difficult.
Speaker 1: But it's how do the other pieces independent of that
Speaker 1: come together, which I think is one of the reasons
Speaker 1: he said, when you're looking at the offensive coordinator spot
Speaker 1: in Green Bay, it's unique because he he mentioned he's
Speaker 1: going to continue to call plays here in this offense,
Speaker 1: so that coordinator spot is really the guy that's going
Speaker 1: to be facilitating those those positions coming together, the overall
Speaker 1: concepts of a defense, this scheme that has to fit too.
Speaker 1: So I think when you look at these two sides
Speaker 1: of the ball, and certainly there's a lot of things
Speaker 1: to be figured out. We only have the more abstract
Speaker 1: vision at this point. But it will be interesting when
Speaker 1: that staff does come together, when they start kind of
Speaker 1: formulating that game plan for two thousand and eighteen, how
Speaker 1: all these pieces are gonna align with that vision of
Speaker 1: what McCarthy wants his team to be going forward. And
Speaker 1: he said he doesn't have a timeline necessarily for when
Speaker 1: he's going to finalize his coaching staff. But I think
Speaker 1: we've seen in the past, you know, it takes it
Speaker 1: takes a few weeks to get all the pieces in
Speaker 1: place when you're making this many changes. But um, but
Speaker 1: he's going to He's going to take his time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you this much because I was
Speaker 1: covering prep sports back in two thousand and eight and
Speaker 1: two thousand night. How long do you remember how long
Speaker 1: that was from when Bob Sanders and that staff was
Speaker 1: let go to when they brought in Don Caper's I
Speaker 1: want to say it was about a month because I
Speaker 1: know that they got it all done. You get the
Speaker 1: coaching staff definitely set before everybody goes to the combine
Speaker 1: when you start meeting with the prospects, the college prospects
Speaker 1: and whatnot. So I would think, you know, either by
Speaker 1: the end of this month or shortly after the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: all I would have to believe he'll have his coaching
Speaker 1: staff finalized for twenty Yeah, and and again, as you said,
Speaker 1: there's no timeline on it. But it's just it is
Speaker 1: interesting because this is these these weeks, these days, this
Speaker 1: is where these decisions need to come together and what
Speaker 1: we'll see what the Packers look like. Yeah, well, plenty
Speaker 1: more to talk about from coach McCarthy. Season ending news
Speaker 1: conference back with more on Packer's Unscripted right after this,
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Packers Unscripted. Mike Spofford in this chair,
Speaker 1: Wes Hodkowits and that one. And what's another topic that
Speaker 1: came up with Coach McCarthy in the media auditorium speaking
Speaker 1: with reporters the new GM higher, which we talked about
Speaker 1: a lot on previous shows this week, McCarthy said he's
Speaker 1: uh involved in the process to a certain extent that
Speaker 1: we didn't go into into the details. The main gist
Speaker 1: of what he said, though, is acknowledging essentially that, um,
Speaker 1: he wants to have a similar type of partnership relationship,
Speaker 1: the same type of fit that that he felt with
Speaker 1: Ted Thompson over a very successful twelve year run. But
Speaker 1: but if that fit isn't there, he doesn't expect or
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't have the expectation that that new GM
Speaker 1: is going to necessarily keep him as the head coach,
Speaker 1: you know. And and here's the thing. I thought it
Speaker 1: was such a mature statement from McCarty looking at this
Speaker 1: because it is you have to understand the realities of
Speaker 1: this world, and it's that different people are gonna have
Speaker 1: different philosophies, are gonna have different thoughts, and just to
Speaker 1: think that, well, you hire one guy, everything will be
Speaker 1: you know, unicorns and rainbows, it doesn't always work like that.
Speaker 1: His his biggest statement, I thought going up there, whether
Speaker 1: it was talking about the coaching staff, whether I was
Speaker 1: talking about the GM, every aspect of the football team
Speaker 1: with the goal of being a championship surrounded by the
Speaker 1: idea of fit. So he's involved to a certain extent,
Speaker 1: he said with this, but ultimately it is Mark Murphy's search.
Speaker 1: The questions about it have to be directed towards Mark
Speaker 1: Murphy in terms of who ultimately is going to be
Speaker 1: handling that role of general manager. But one of the
Speaker 1: reasons why him and Thompson worked so well is because
Speaker 1: they aligned in the idea of fit. Thompson was hired
Speaker 1: as GM, ends up a year later hiring McCarthy as
Speaker 1: his coach when I think a lot of other people
Speaker 1: in the NFL wouldn't have been glowing, you know about
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator that just went through the struggles that
Speaker 1: he did. In San Francisco. Thompson saw the big picture,
Speaker 1: he saw what he was as a developer, and they
Speaker 1: had this run of twelve seasons together. Now that you
Speaker 1: look towards the future, there's some really good in house
Speaker 1: candidates as far as this GM position is concerned. McCarthy
Speaker 1: didn't want to single out anyone specifically for obvious reasons,
Speaker 1: but there is there is value to that, and there's
Speaker 1: value to having that relationship and in understanding how all
Speaker 1: of that can come together when you have people that
Speaker 1: were raised in Thompson's personnel department in McCarthy obviously also
Speaker 1: seeing his career as a coach really flourished under Thompson's watch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and make no mistake about it, Mike McCarthy confirmed, as
Speaker 1: he said many times in the past, he feels he
Speaker 1: has the best job in the NFL. He absolutely loves
Speaker 1: coaching the Green Bay Packers. All the resources that are
Speaker 1: available to him as a head coach to develop a
Speaker 1: football team to go win football games. He loves it here.
Speaker 1: He wants to stay here. He's just acknowledging the reality
Speaker 1: that you know, if if there isn't a if there
Speaker 1: isn't a viable partnership with whoever the new GM is,
Speaker 1: that that's not going to be what's best for the
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. And just as Ted Thompson stepping aside
Speaker 1: when he has now was a move that wasn't the
Speaker 1: best interests of the Packers going forward. Mike McCarthy's acknowledging
Speaker 1: that these types of moves, you know, they could happen
Speaker 1: down the road. He's he's not necessarily counting on the
Speaker 1: fact that after twelve years as the head coach, that
Speaker 1: he's going to be the coach here for another Well,
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers really are an anomaly in the
Speaker 1: NFL right now. And the reason I say that is
Speaker 1: because you can look at lengthy coaching tenures in the NFL.
Speaker 1: There are some examples of it. There's lengthy general manager
Speaker 1: tenures in the NFL too. But the two establishments that
Speaker 1: have a longer tenure right now than McCarthy is Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick in the New England Patriots, and Belichick basically runs
Speaker 1: their personnel department too in Marvin Lewis in the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 1: In Marvin Lewis basically runs that entire organization as well
Speaker 1: with his coaches, So those everyone has a unique kind
Speaker 1: of viewpoint on how you go about building a franchise,
Speaker 1: building a football team, and sustaining that success. I think
Speaker 1: the only other real comparable is New Orleans what they've
Speaker 1: done with Mickey Loomis and in Sean Payton that has
Speaker 1: stayed together over the years, but it is in some
Speaker 1: ways it's uncharted territory what the Packers are going into.
Speaker 1: So McCarthy understands the realities of this and how things
Speaker 1: can play out. And again, it's gonna come down to
Speaker 1: seeing how what happens ultimately with Mark Murphy, what he
Speaker 1: decides to do for this organization, and then seeing from
Speaker 1: there how everything could fit together. Yeah, and Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: also talked about some of the things on the field
Speaker 1: in that obviously didn't go as planned. So we'll get
Speaker 1: to that after the breakback with more and Packers Unscripted.
Speaker 1: Right after this, Welcome back to Packers Unscripted. Mike Spofford here, West, Hodkuh,
Speaker 1: It's over there, West, Continuing our discussion of Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: season ending news conference. I want to start this segment
Speaker 1: with some comments we heard the other day from Packers
Speaker 1: safety ha Ha Clinton Dix in which he was expressing
Speaker 1: some frustration with things that were going on on the defense,
Speaker 1: particularly in regards to when the injury struck and you
Speaker 1: had to have young players filling in on defense and
Speaker 1: things weren't going well that Uh, the Packers didn't necessarily
Speaker 1: have really the options to replace those players to try
Speaker 1: to do something better, to try to improve what was
Speaker 1: going on out there. The options were limited. In a
Speaker 1: lot of cases it was young players who not for
Speaker 1: lack of talent, but for lack of experience. Really, we're
Speaker 1: not getting the job done. But yet then the only
Speaker 1: other options are guys with even less experience. Um. Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy addressed this a little bit too in terms of
Speaker 1: in terms of the makeup of the team. What do
Speaker 1: you make of of these comments that we're hearing, you know,
Speaker 1: ha ha. I thought it made such a great point.
Speaker 1: This goes back to Tuesday's final locker room. It was
Speaker 1: the first question he was asked in regards to Don
Speaker 1: Caper's being let go. Really supported Capers during that he
Speaker 1: started off with probably a minute long response, UM, thanking
Speaker 1: of for his time, saying that this is where I
Speaker 1: got my start, this is where I really got to
Speaker 1: get comfortable in an NFL defense. But one of the
Speaker 1: parallels he drew was his first season in two thousand fourteen,
Speaker 1: which was to for my money still probably aside from
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl team itself, the best team that the
Speaker 1: Packers have had probably under McCarthy. And I say that
Speaker 1: because of how well rounded they were on both sides
Speaker 1: of the ball. So that season they were incredibly healthy.
Speaker 1: But you look at the depth that they had and
Speaker 1: that they had for those years after. You know, in
Speaker 1: that in that two thousand twelve to fourteen stretch, you
Speaker 1: had guys that stepped in. You look at the outside
Speaker 1: backers when you had Mike Neil and Nick Perry jumping in. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, in developing when you had Eric Walden, Jared Bush, uh,
Speaker 1: a guy like Chris Banjo, Mica Hyde. Players that were
Speaker 1: maybe not quote unquote starters because of the depth depth positions,
Speaker 1: but they knew the defense and they knew it well,
Speaker 1: and when they got the opportunity to go in there,
Speaker 1: they were able to really flourish. And McCarthy addressed this too,
Speaker 1: about this this sort of in the middle of young,
Speaker 1: inexperienced players and veterans the Packers these last two seasons
Speaker 1: have really struggled to find someone in the middle of that.
Speaker 1: It's not an easy thing to solve because I think
Speaker 1: injuries have really taken the biggest bite out of that.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's anybody's really fault per se that
Speaker 1: all this has happened, but it does lead to natural
Speaker 1: challenges that I think in some ways took the Packers
Speaker 1: from where they were that first month of the season
Speaker 1: defensively and ended up making it what the season you know,
Speaker 1: ultimately was. Yeah, and I think what we've seen over
Speaker 1: the years, Mike McCarthy talks about it, it's it's a
Speaker 1: it's the nature of the business in the NFL. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have your young players and you're gonna have your
Speaker 1: veteran players. But then as the season goes along, you
Speaker 1: see that gap close in terms of in terms of
Speaker 1: their ability, the young guys start to catch up. He
Speaker 1: felt that really last season in ten he was seeing
Speaker 1: the gap wasn't closing fast enough, and that's one of
Speaker 1: the reasons the Packers started four and six. Before you know,
Speaker 1: they picked it up and then obviously made that memorable
Speaker 1: run to the NFC Championship Game. This year. The gap
Speaker 1: seemed to be even larger and was was closing even
Speaker 1: more slowly. And obviously you lose Aaron Rodgers and that
Speaker 1: has an impact on on you know a lot of
Speaker 1: things and a lot of these issues that that we're
Speaker 1: talking about. But the uh, you've got to You've you
Speaker 1: have to do one of two things. You either have
Speaker 1: to have some more experienced players to be able to
Speaker 1: weather those injury storms when they happen, because they're going
Speaker 1: to happen, and they happen to everybody, or you have
Speaker 1: to be able to get the young players up to
Speaker 1: speed that much faster. And in the post two thousand
Speaker 1: eleven cb A environment, you know, Mike, the first half
Speaker 1: of Mike McCarthy's coaching career, the off season program was longer,
Speaker 1: They could work with players more, you know everything about
Speaker 1: those first and second year players. You've got to do
Speaker 1: so much more with them, especially the second year guys,
Speaker 1: you know, after they had put in their rookie seasons.
Speaker 1: That's not that's not how it's done anymore because there
Speaker 1: are so many more limitations on O t a s
Speaker 1: and offseason program dates and hours and and this and that,
Speaker 1: and I think we're seeing and Mike McCarthy says, it's
Speaker 1: really across the league. We're seeing the impact of that
Speaker 1: with young players having to be thrown into roles and
Speaker 1: playing too soon, playing over their heads, so to speak,
Speaker 1: and and teams are suffering for it. About this, Mike
Speaker 1: Packers drafted Kevin King in the first round last year,
Speaker 1: the first pick, sorry, ye overall? Okay, So he's unavailable
Speaker 1: for basically the entire off season program due to the
Speaker 1: college rules that left him back on the West Coast
Speaker 1: because Washington wasn't out of school yet. He comes into
Speaker 1: Green Bay, has the shoulder injury, plays through that ends
Speaker 1: up starting whatever it was, seven eight games despite not
Speaker 1: having that full off season to go off of. I
Speaker 1: think in some ways that was a good illustration of
Speaker 1: this inexperience and injury and how that can affect you.
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about this, but I just I think
Speaker 1: this is something that it's very interesting to see when
Speaker 1: you really get a chance to review what happened this
Speaker 1: past season, how much that really influenced, particularly on defense,
Speaker 1: how the Packers were able to play football. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about that after the breakback
Speaker 1: with moren Packers unscripted. Right after this Ye, Welcome back
Speaker 1: to Packers Unscripted Mike Spofford alongside West hodkowits West. Before
Speaker 1: we go, I want to continue what we were discussing
Speaker 1: in the previous segment about this gap between your veteran
Speaker 1: players and your younger players in terms of that on
Speaker 1: the field performance, because sixteen games is a long time.
Speaker 1: The idea is that that gap closes and then you
Speaker 1: get a team playing its best football down the stretch,
Speaker 1: you make the playoffs, and you try to make that
Speaker 1: postseason run. That's the formula. That's that's how the Packers
Speaker 1: did it in two thousand and ten, That's how they
Speaker 1: almost did it in two thousand and fourteen. But without
Speaker 1: being uh, you know, armchair gms, or even you know,
Speaker 1: football coaches for that matter, whose responsibility is to coach
Speaker 1: these players and get them ready to play, how do
Speaker 1: you go about trying to close that gap so the
Speaker 1: Packers don't end up in these situations like we've seen
Speaker 1: the last couple of seasons. We'll just be clear. You know,
Speaker 1: Mark Murphy started this week, you know, interviewing candidates for
Speaker 1: the GM job. My phone still hasn't rain yet, so
Speaker 1: nobody's nobody's checking in with me. But um, to me,
Speaker 1: it comes down to three different things, Mike. The first
Speaker 1: thing is player acquisition. Packers have a lot of draft
Speaker 1: picks this year. I think that's gonna be eleven or
Speaker 1: twelve once this thing is all said and done with
Speaker 1: the compensatory picks. That's a starting point. You have free agency,
Speaker 1: both the free agents that you want to resign potentially
Speaker 1: and then guys you want to entertain outside. I mean,
Speaker 1: you look at you know what could potentially be out there.
Speaker 1: Those are all decisions that whoever sitting in a GM
Speaker 1: are ultimately gonna have to make to really set the
Speaker 1: course for how things are gonna go. And the third
Speaker 1: thing is the returning players that the Packers have. There
Speaker 1: was a lot of departures last year just because of
Speaker 1: how the situation worked, how contracts worked out. That was
Speaker 1: a big off season for a lot of expiring contracts
Speaker 1: and it impacted the leadership in the McCarthy acknowledged that absolutely,
Speaker 1: and that two thirteen draft man it bared a lot
Speaker 1: of fruit for the Packers and it just so happened
Speaker 1: at the same time they had some good veterans that
Speaker 1: were coming up at the same exact expiration. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: to me, I think you need to keep your fingers crossed.
Speaker 1: You have to, you have to hope for some luck
Speaker 1: on the injury front because I think that ultimately really
Speaker 1: took away when you look, especially at the secondary, what
Speaker 1: the Packers could do. But they got a lot of experience.
Speaker 1: These young guys on this roster this year. They need
Speaker 1: to make sure that they're able to parlay those experiences
Speaker 1: into a solid off season program and go into training
Speaker 1: camp a lot better for what they went through this season.
Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest key, because that's where your
Speaker 1: experience is coming from. Yeah, and I wonder from a
Speaker 1: roster makeup standpoint, and I'll reiterate what you said. My
Speaker 1: phone is not ringing for the interview. Mike Mark Murphy
Speaker 1: hasn't hasn't called me either. But you wonder when you
Speaker 1: talk about draft and develop, and Mike McCarthy said, that
Speaker 1: still needs to be the core of who the Packers
Speaker 1: are and what they do is draft and develop. But
Speaker 1: if you have too many young players, how much is
Speaker 1: the development uh stunted in a sense for lack of
Speaker 1: a better term, When you have too many of those
Speaker 1: young guys that you need to bring along. Does the
Speaker 1: roster need to have more balance? So there isn't there
Speaker 1: isn't that large of a gap between your veteran players
Speaker 1: and your younger players. I think there are some issues
Speaker 1: here in terms of roster construction, roster makeup that Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy would like to talk to the new general manager
Speaker 1: about and and see if they're on the same page
Speaker 1: to get back to that fit question. And we could
Speaker 1: finish a whole episode talking about this, but I think
Speaker 1: it is important when you look at that game against
Speaker 1: the Lions offense and defense, the number of young players
Speaker 1: that were playing at due to attrition, due to different situations,
Speaker 1: it was almost insurmountable, I think in some ways for
Speaker 1: what they had to handle. And I think sometimes when
Speaker 1: you see the results being what they were, it was
Speaker 1: a product of that. Yeah. Well, we'll be continuing these
Speaker 1: discussions for sure, but for now, that's a wrap on
Speaker 1: this edition of Packers Unscripted. Be sure to follow all
Speaker 1: of our continuing coverage of the team on Packers dot com.
Speaker 1: I'm on Twitter, he's at west Hod, I'm at Mike
Speaker 1: Spofford at Packers for the team account. Thanks for tuning in, everybody.
Speaker 1: We'll see you next time. H m hm
