1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: Hi everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com. 2 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford sitting next to the one and 3 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: only Wes Hodkuwitz. We're coming to you here from our 4 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: studios at lambeau Field West, our final show of the week. 5 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: It is Friday, but we need to condense things a 6 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: little bit because there's an injury update to go through 7 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: before we get to our usual end of week Keys 8 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: to Victory. So with regards to the Packers injury report, 9 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: it's lengthy. There are twenty guys listed on it. Now. 10 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: We'll see come late Saturday afternoon when the final designations 11 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: are made from Monday night's game how many of those 12 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: guys end up being removed from the injury report. But 13 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: some primary updates. First of all, Davante Adams on the 14 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: injury report not practicing, told reporters he's not sure when 15 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: he's going to be back. Jamal Williams is back at practice, 16 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: he's been cleared from the concussion protocol, and center Corey 17 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: Lindsley also in the concussion protocol, not fully cleared yet 18 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: but back at practice on a limited basis. So those 19 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: are some of the big names as to what's going on, 20 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: as well as a certain guy number twelve, Aaron Rodgers, 21 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: cropping up on the injury report with a knee injury. 22 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: There's been no indication that he's in any danger of 23 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: missing the game, but he is on the injury report 24 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: dealing with something in a knee. Yep. If you're dealing 25 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: with anything, you got to report it. So the Packers 26 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: certainly with taking it easy on Aaron Rodgers in their 27 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: first practice back, um, you know, having him sit out there. 28 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: Um you know, I should say said out, but just 29 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: being able to be cautious with it. Yeah. This week 30 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: is going to be interesting for Green Bay though, because 31 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: you look at Davante Adams and he was talking at 32 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: his locker and you a group that you were a 33 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: part of, you know, And as he points out, I mean, 34 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: he's dealing with the pretty significant injury right now and 35 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be back outer until he feels, 36 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: you know, just fine about it. And I thought one 37 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: of his big money lines was basically saying that you 38 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: can walk around your local store and you could play football. 39 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: They're two different things. And you did see Davante walking 40 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: around practice on Wednesday. But yeah, I mean I should 41 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: say on Thursday, but you know, you have to be 42 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: smart with it. The real nice thing, pleasant surprise, mind you, 43 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: is that Jamal Williams was back out there in a 44 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: full participant after being cleared from the concussion protocol two 45 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: weeks after the hit at Philadelphia. I was a part 46 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: of that media scrum. Jamal Williams basically said much ado 47 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: about nothing. He's ready to focus on football. He doesn't 48 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: care about talking about the hit. But going into this matchup, 49 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: if you don't have Davante Adams, but you have Jamal 50 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: Williams and Aaron Jones, that's a big, big plus for 51 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: this offense. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean you'd like to be 52 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: able to share some of that workload in the backfield. 53 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: Obviously Tray Carson spelled Aaron Jones a little bit, But 54 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, sixty five plays for 55 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: the Packers at Dallas, Aaron Jones touched the ball on 56 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: twenty six of them, and there was another targeted pass 57 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: that was incomplete. So that's twenty seven out of sixty 58 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,119 Speaker 1: five plays that essentially we're focused on Aaron Jones. That's 59 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: a pretty big workload for one day, and and a 60 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: difficult workload to sustain. Week after week after week in 61 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: such a long season. So you want to get Jamal 62 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: Williams back out there and start to maybe divide up 63 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: that load a little bit if you can. Yeah, definitely, 64 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: and especially considering the stretch that they're on. It doesn't 65 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: even have to necessarily be in this game against Detroit, 66 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: but you have Oakland after this at home on six days. 67 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: You then have two big road trips. You have a 68 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: game against Carolina next month before you can get to 69 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: your bye week. So you know, you want to be 70 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: able to not you know, have to push everyone, not 71 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: just Aaron Jones, push everyone to that extreme if you 72 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: don't have to Jamal Williams. You know, I wrote about 73 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: this on Packers dot Com. He actually was coming off 74 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: his best game of the season when he sort of 75 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: gave the offensive pick me up against Denver, went into 76 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: that that Philadelphia contest. So if he can you know, 77 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: get back into a rhythm here, I have no problems, questions, 78 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: concerns whatsoever about him in terms of the mentality of football. 79 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: You know, he said he's going right back in there. 80 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: He's not changing his mindset at all. He's going to 81 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: play the same way he always does. And if you know, 82 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: Jamal Williams, I think everybody pretty much understands that, Um, 83 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: you know that's not a lie. Yeah. Well, let's stay 84 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball here, West as 85 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: we talk about keys to victory for Monday Night. In 86 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: this Packers Lions showdown Packers offense. What does it need 87 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: to do to come out victorious? Well, first off, they 88 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: need to be able to move the ball all four quarters. 89 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: You want to be able to eliminate the lulls. That's 90 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: been the one thing that through the first five games 91 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: of the season has kind of been missing for them. 92 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: They've gotten off to some great starts, which, if you 93 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: go in contrast the last few seasons, that was sort 94 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: of an issue for them. They would find their rhythm late, 95 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: but getting established early was of an issue. It was 96 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: a problem. Well, this year you come back and their 97 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: first scripted plays, their first few series drives, they've been explosive. 98 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: And it's been that way since Week one against Chicago. 99 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: So you know, if you're able too, I should say, 100 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: after they did get into the rhythm against Chicago, it 101 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: hasn't really been an issue. Sure, but if you're able to, 102 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, contour the offense and find different playmakers to 103 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: emerge here without Davante Adams. And again we'll let the 104 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: weekend take its course, but let's say you don't have them. 105 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: What was what they did so well in that game 106 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: against Dallas is it was Jimmy Graham making a clutch catch. 107 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: It was Robert toan you, although he's dealing with a hip, 108 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: making a really critical catch along the sidelines. It was 109 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: guys playing well in situational football that lifted the entire boat. 110 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: That's going to be the key in this one. I 111 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be Aaron Jones, It's gonna be Jamal Williams. 112 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: It's going to be all those auxiliary pieces coming together 113 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: if you don't have Davante Adams to really threaten and 114 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: stress and Detroit defense that has been pretty impressive here, 115 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: Mike through the first month of the season. Yeah, I mean, 116 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: I keep coming back to as far as the offense 117 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: of the Packers is concerned. What Matt Lafleur continues to 118 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: harp on, whether he's talking about it in a postgame 119 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: setting or in a midweek news conference, and that's third 120 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: down conversions the Packers right around percent for the season. 121 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: Pretty remarkable when you think about it that you can 122 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: be at thirty on third down through five games and 123 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: be four and one. That just tells you how many 124 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: other aspects of this team, how many things are going 125 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: well in order to make that happen. We've seen it 126 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: West when the Packers get into that rhythm offensively and 127 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: they're at their best, they're quite frankly, so far this year, 128 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: they've been avoiding third down entirely. They're having these drives 129 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: where they're only needing first down and second down and 130 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: they're moving the chains and they're not even getting into 131 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: third down situations. I think the biggest thing that sticks 132 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: out about the struggles on third down. I saw a 133 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: stat that I believe the Packers have had eight third 134 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: and sixteen plus situations through five games, and they're over 135 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: eight and those There aren't a lot of things in 136 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: the playbook that are going to be able to convert 137 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: third and sixteen unless you catch a break on a 138 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: defensive penalty or something like that. So eight third and 139 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: sixteen plus situations in five games is way too many, 140 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: and that's where La Fleur is focused. It's about getting 141 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: those third down on situations into into the more manageable 142 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: down and distance the six yards and under. You know 143 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: that kind of thing where then your percentage is obviously 144 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: going to go up and you're going to be able 145 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: to keep the ball and sustain those drives and avoid 146 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: the lulls that that seem to be happening when the 147 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: Packers aren't in the really quick rhythm thing where they're 148 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: not even getting the third down. So it's a matter 149 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: of smoothing all of that out, and I think the 150 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: Packers offense is going to get there eventually, but you know, 151 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: the sooner the better. Yeah, when you say the quick 152 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: rhythm stuff, you look at the conversions of Packers have 153 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: made during those series. It's second and three, that's third 154 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,119 Speaker 1: and two. It's being able to keep the chains very manageable. Um. Now, 155 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: that's a really extreme example. It's a good example with 156 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: the with the third and sixteen and plus, but even 157 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: third and ten. I mean, that's that's an unlikely to 158 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: convert play for most teams because the defenses are just 159 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: playing you for a third intense situation. Yeah, they're gonna 160 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: give you the short field, they're gonna give you the 161 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: short completion underneath, they're gonna come up and make the tackle. 162 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: Usually in those situations you either need a defensive penalty 163 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: or somebody just flat out missing a tackle in order 164 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: to be able to convert in those third and double 165 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: digit types. So that's why so often when they talk 166 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: about third down efficiency, and it's true it is third 167 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: down efficiency, but realistically it's more first and second down efficiency. 168 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: You know, how you're able to get you know, maybe 169 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: a four yard carry off the bat, a six yard catch. 170 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: That's what made James Jones great in my opinion, all 171 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: those years with those stop routes as he would run. 172 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: You know that he was always good for eight to 173 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: ten yards on those plays at critical points in football games. 174 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: So this is where I think Jimmy Graham can really 175 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: help them in the long term. You know, you've seen 176 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: him kind of get going here the last two weeks, 177 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: over hundred yards in these two games together. You know, 178 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: maybe in Marcedes Lewis. He looks so much better in 179 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: this offense this year with how they're able to integrate him. 180 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: He's not a sixth offensive lineman anymore. He's a real 181 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: threat to be able to, you know, move the ball. 182 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: And honestly, Mike, this is where I think you're really 183 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: seeing the superstar tendencies of Aaron Jones, because last week's 184 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: game wasn't just about you know, he had a hundred 185 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: and eighty two total yards, hundred and seven of that 186 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: were rushing. He had seventy plus yards catching the ball, 187 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: a career high seven catches. They really used him more 188 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: through these five games as a pass catcher. Then I 189 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: really remember him being designed as a route runner during 190 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: his entire time in the last two seasons. It isn't 191 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 1: just screen passes, it's put it's flanking him out wide 192 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: and actually being okay, throwing it to him if he 193 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: comes on a crosser. That's where I think defensive defensive 194 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: coordinators now really have their eye on him and what 195 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: he could potentially present in The more attention he draws, 196 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: and something I talked to him vote in the locker 197 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: room after last week's game, the more options it's going 198 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: to open up your Marquez Valdes, Scantlings and the other 199 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: real big threats in his offense. Yeah, well, it comes 200 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: down to, as you said, with the first and second down, 201 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: it's about avoiding the negative plays. It's about avoiding the penalties. 202 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: You know, Packer's offensive line. If there's one thing that's 203 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: been a little bit of a bugaboo, so to speak, 204 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,359 Speaker 1: the last few games. It's been it's been some untimely penalties. 205 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: Um Since the opening game against Chicago when the Bears 206 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: had five sacks, Rodgers has only been sacked five times 207 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: since then in the last four games. In one of 208 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: those was even a give up intentional type of sack 209 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. The way that play unfolded, So if 210 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: you can avoid the negative plays and avoid the penalties, 211 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: then those third downs end up being much more management. 212 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: And getting back to my original point when you asked 213 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: me about the key to this victory in this game, 214 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: the four quartered attack, I just feel like Detroit. While 215 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: they do have good playmakers on that defense, especially if 216 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: Darius Slay is able to go, they have given up 217 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: yards this year. I mean the twenty fifth right now 218 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: in the league in total yards. I think they're twenty 219 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: one against the run. Teams have had been able to 220 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: have success moving the ball, and when you can move 221 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: the ball the way that Green Bay does and have 222 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: protect the football the way they have, that's when you 223 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: talk about third down efficiency and things of that nature. 224 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: That's why you're four and one at this juncture because 225 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: you've consistently made enough plays and protected the football that 226 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: you know, not every stat has to be league leading. 227 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: You can find ways to win. And that's I think 228 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: been the number one character of this team here through 229 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: this first month of the year. Yeah, all right, well 230 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 1: quickly here, West, before we shift gears to the defensive 231 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: side of the ball.

West, I'm not sure what you think, 236 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: but I'm starting on this one with keeping Matthew Stafford 237 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: from getting into a rhythm. And I'll say that, you know, 238 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: we haven't had one of those tried and true SPAFF 239 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 1: stats and info segments for a while. All Right, I've 240 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: got one of Yeah, I've got a whole Yeah, I've 241 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: I've got a whole bunch of them here for you. 242 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: All right, Okay, the Detroit Lions have beaten the Packers 243 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: four consecutive games. They've swept the last two season series 244 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: in seventeen and eighteen. The first time the Lions have 245 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: swept back to back season series from the Packers since 246 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: the early eighties eighty three seasons. So it's been a 247 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: long time since the Packers have been in this situation 248 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: in this rivalry, and the Lions have not won five 249 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: straight in this series since the pre Lombardi era of 250 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: the nineteen fifties. So um, the Packers certainly don't want 251 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: to tread into that territory. But getting back to the 252 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: here and now, these last four games, and I know 253 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: the Packers have been missing Aaron Rodgers, and I believe 254 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: three out of the four if I'm not mistaken, but 255 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford for the Lions Detroit has put up thirty 256 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: plus points in all four of the victories the last 257 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 1: two seasons. And here are Stafford's numbers, eighty out of twenty, 258 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: which is exactly two thirds, sixty six point seven thirty 259 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: three yards, nine touchdowns, no interceptions, a one two point 260 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: zero passerrating over these four Lions victories the last two seasons. 261 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: That's like off the charts good and the Packers cannot 262 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: let him get it into that type of rhythm and 263 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: have that type of game. Here's the other interesting thing. Too. Though. 264 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: West Matthew Stafford's first thirteen games, He's now played seventeen 265 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: games against the Packers. His first thirteen games against the Packers, 266 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: green Bay intercepted him nineteen times. Zero interceptions of Stafford 267 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: over the last four That's that's the trend the Packers 268 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: have to change in order to get this rivalry flip 269 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: back in the other direction. So if you ask me, 270 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: just very quickly, what's the first thing that comes to 271 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: mind in these last four losses the last two seasons, 272 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: it's been efficiency for Matthew Stafford. Absolutely, he's not been challenged. 273 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: And as much as we want to talk about Aaron 274 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: Rodgers and whether he did or didn't play in these games, 275 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: or who the head coach was, or what what the 276 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: scenario was going to be and what the implications were, 277 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: fact of the matter is Aaron Rodgers doesn't rush the passer. 278 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is not a boundary cornerback. He's not a safety, 279 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: he's not a linebacker. He's a quarterback. He would have 280 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: to go tip for tat with Stafford playing excellent football. 281 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: That's where I think the defense has to rise to 282 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: the occasion. And I'm really intrigued to see it, Mike, 283 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: because I think with Sadarius Smith and Preston Smith and 284 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: the pressure they've been generating, they're gonna be able to 285 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: get after Matthew Stafford more than he has been the 286 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: last two seasons. There were some sacks, but the pressure 287 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: wasn't consistent and not at all. And the more you 288 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: dial up the pressure, the more the opportunities open up 289 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: for themselves downfield. Now here's the number one question mark. 290 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: We talked so much about Davante Adams, and rightfully so, 291 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: but there are a lot of missing pieces here for 292 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: green Bay's defense in the secondary going into this game. 293 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: Raven Green They've already been without him. That pushes Adrian 294 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: Amos up into the box. Now you have Darnell Savage 295 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: missing some practice time with his ankle injury, so does 296 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: that push Amos back? You have Will Redmond stepping up, 297 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: but there's only one Will Redmond, so you need to 298 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: make some decisions there. The one real positive thing for 299 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: green Bay is that Kevin King was back on the 300 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: practice field on Thursday. A little bit of concern there 301 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: with him already dealing with the growing injury and then 302 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: dealing with the knee injury. The fact that he was 303 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: able to be out there is great. So if you 304 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: can have Alexander and King allow those guys to work 305 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: on islands in free up the safeties in the slot 306 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: cornerbacks a little bit more, that's going to be the 307 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: biggest key here, because, as we've been talking about for 308 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: the last three seasons now, this new Matt Stafford, the 309 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: one that's been able to have the success he's had, 310 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: it's because he spreads the football around and makes guys better. 311 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: That's how Detroit's winning and that's how they're the number 312 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: eight ranked our offense in the league at this point. Yeah, 313 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I just think this game for the Packers, 314 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: as much as we talked about everything on the offensive side, 315 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: I just really think it comes down to not letting 316 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: Stafford get into a rhythm and control the action at 317 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. And you know, the way he 318 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,359 Speaker 1: has performed against the Packers over these last couple of years, 319 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: that's what needs to That's what needs to change. And 320 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: as you said, he spreads the ball around. He's got 321 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: the weapons. Kenny Golladay I mentioned the other day his 322 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: twelve point eight yards per catch this season is a 323 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: little bit misleading because Golladay has had two games against 324 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: the Packers so far in his career, and he has 325 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: a sixty yard reception and a fifty four yard touchdown 326 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: against the Packers. He's a big play guy. Hockinson has 327 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: been added to that mix now at tight end the 328 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: draft pick. It looks like he's going to be back 329 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: from his concussion and most likely playing on Monday Night. 330 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: That's an interesting matchup as you talk about all those 331 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: defenders in the middle of the field as opposed to 332 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: those corners on the islands. How are the Packers going 333 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: to to match up there? We've seen, We've seen Matthew 334 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: Stafford the one that always sticks out to me, and 335 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: it also happens to happens to be a Monday night 336 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: game from two years ago in he was just lined 337 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: up in shotgun at lambeau Field and pointing his fingers, 338 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: you know, here and there. I mean, he knew absolutely everything. 339 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: He was in complete command of that entire game. And 340 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: this is a different defense, different coordinator, different personnel. Everything 341 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: about the Packers defense is so different now than it 342 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: was two years ago. And that's what I'm going to 343 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: be watching is how comfortable is Matthew Stafford going to 344 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: look against this defense compared to what we've seen the 345 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: last couple of years. Absolutely, Now, the one thing you 346 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: have a great statu it's incredible that it's been this 347 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: long since the Lines have had a stretch where they've 348 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: won five straight games over Green Bay. Yeah, you're trying 349 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: to avoid that part of that. You're trying to avoid 350 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: it exactly going into this matchup. But the thing that 351 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: stands out to me too, is there Mason Crosby field 352 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: goal away. You know, from having one of those wins. Absolutely, 353 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: there are things that Green Bay has done that they've 354 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: been still in these games. Now. Weeks seventeen last year, 355 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: I think that was somewhat anomaly. Everybody's bags were sort 356 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: of packed at that point. It was what it was, 357 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: and you didn't have Aaron Rodgers available. So yeah, and 358 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: the week's seventeen game in was was pretty ugly as well. Yeah, Yeah, 359 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: and that was the one in Detroit. But getting back 360 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: to just being in Green Bay, I mean, I think 361 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,719 Speaker 1: there's there are veterans on this team, guys that are 362 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: in their six seventh eighth NFL season that they went 363 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: years without losing to Detroit at home. You just got 364 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: to get back to that, So seeing what the crowd 365 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: environment is like, seeing you know, if you get off 366 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: to a fast start, how that changes the temple of 367 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 1: a football game. All those things are gonna be critical factors. 368 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: And you know, first and foremost too, I think you know, 369 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: you look at this matchup having Aaron Rodgers healthy relatively speaking, 370 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: and just being able to get the offense moving right 371 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: the bat with weapons that weren't there last season at 372 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: the end of the year, with like Aaron Jones, this 373 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: is a more dynamic, multifaceted team than just number twelve. 374 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: Now they can beat you in different ways. And I 375 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: think that's the X factor in this matchup for both 376 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 1: sides is which team is able to actually utilize their 377 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: full contingent, their full roster to be able to build 378 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: a victory because this is a critical game in October 379 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,959 Speaker 1: for the NFC North in the implications for the next 380 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: two months. Yeah, that's what I was going to get at. 381 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 1: We talked about it earlier in the week that this 382 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: is an opportunity for the Packers to get to three 383 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: and o in their division games at the midway point 384 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: of the division matchups. After this one, no more NFC 385 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: North matchups until the final three weeks of the season 386 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: when you play everybody for a second time. So the 387 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 1: way the schedule sets up is really interesting because there'll 388 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: be a big gap now between NFC North matchups. The 389 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: flip side of it is, this is the first division 390 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: game for Detroit here in the sixth week of the season. 391 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: Now it's only their fifth game because they've had their 392 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 1: bye week, but their schedule very different in that respect. 393 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: This is their first division contest, it's the third one 394 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: for the Packers. And if we look elsewhere at what's 395 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: going on around the league here in week six, the 396 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears are on their by coming off of their 397 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: trip to London, and the Minnesota Vikings have a big 398 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: NFC matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Obviously, lots of common 399 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: opponents and everything there that we're looking at, and uh, 400 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: and that will be one to to watch closely on 401 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: Sunday since no one can watch the Packers. Yeah, and 402 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: it's that was actually really interesting. I'm glad you mentioned 403 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: the parody there, you know, just with everybody kind of 404 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: seeing Philadelphia here earlier, that's sort of been the X. 405 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: That's the difference right now in this division is that 406 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: you know Philadelphia was able to you know, Detroit was 407 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: able to get past you know, some of these teams, 408 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: and you have Philadelphia and there and they're the ones 409 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: that were actually able to knock off the Packers. So um, yeah, 410 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: that that NFC East kind of you know series this year. 411 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: It's gonna be really interesting to watch because, yeah, you 412 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: have washing toon. The New York Giants are working through 413 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: some of their issues. But Dallas and Philly are two 414 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: tough teams on everybody's schedule. The Packers got through them already, 415 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: but and got through them at one and one. Obviously 416 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: had a chance a great chance to be too and 417 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: oh there, but you got through it at one on 418 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: one and uh. And now the Vikings are going to 419 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: play the first of their two against Philly and Dallas 420 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: this weekend. I'd be remissed before we enter Mike to 421 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: ask you what do you make of the schedule? Cork. 422 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of people insider inbox that 423 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: have talked a lot about this, the fact that Detroit's 424 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: coming off the by, Oakland will be coming off the by, 425 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: and then Kansas City with an extra mini by. Yeah, 426 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: coming off of a Thursday night game. Yeah, that it's 427 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: an interesting streak here. The Packers three games in a 428 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: row are going to be facing teams that will be 429 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: coming off of significant rest um, and you know, I 430 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: don't know what to I don't know what to make 431 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: of that. I guess the one thing the Packers have had, 432 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: if there's been something in their favorites that in playing 433 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: to Thursday night games, they've had a little bit of 434 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: a mini by or a mini rest weekend, you know, 435 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 1: heading into two of their games, and those ended up 436 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: both being victories over Minnesota and Dallas coming off of 437 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: Thursday night contests. So but yeah, it's it's weird how 438 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: how this fell that the Packers are going to be 439 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: facing three consecutive opponents on extra rest. I still think 440 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: if you give me the choice, though, I'd rather have 441 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: the Week of Love and By or whatever it is 442 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: rather than the Week four by that Detroit got set. Oh, 443 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: I totally agree. I think the schedule set up nicely 444 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: for the Packers from the standpoint of the week one 445 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: kickoff opener side that you have your Thursday night game 446 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: early in the season, and you get a little bit 447 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: of a mini by that weekend off, and then you're 448 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: full by is later in the year. I think that's 449 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: a pretty decent set up for Green Bay. So, regardless 450 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: of everything going on with the opponents of the Packers 451 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: are in good shape. But certainly big weekend for the 452 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: NFC North in more ways than one. And you know, 453 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: Chicago has questions to answer. Minnesota's worked through some stuff. 454 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: We'll see how it'll turn. Shuffles out. Yeah, well, and 455 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: you've got something to uh to show us I do well. 456 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: We Also this is again the NFL you know, critic 457 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: catch month for all types of cancer.
