Speaker 1: Yeah, Hi everyone. Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford, joined alongside my trusted colleague West Hodkuits.
Speaker 1: We're coming to you here from our studios at lambeau
Speaker 1: Field and West. It's a short week, which means that
Speaker 1: Packers Eagles on Thursday night football is almost here already
Speaker 1: it's Wednesday, and that means we're already to our Keys
Speaker 1: to Victory show because the game is on the horizon.
Speaker 1: I don't know where you want to start with this one,
Speaker 1: Packers offense, Packers defense. What's it gonna take to win
Speaker 1: this one and get to four? And oh well, let's
Speaker 1: actually go off of what you wrote last night on
Speaker 1: Packers dot Com. As we're taping the show Wednesday. You
Speaker 1: wrote Tuesday night about this offense and Aaron Rodgers feeling
Speaker 1: like this is time, you know, to get the is clicking.
Speaker 1: You're getting to that fourth, that fourth game of the
Speaker 1: regular season, unmost at preseason that and you want to
Speaker 1: be able to finally get into a rhythm. They want
Speaker 1: to get Davante Adams more opportunities. You've seen flashes of it.
Speaker 1: I think throughout these first three games, and I honestly
Speaker 1: think you've seen a lot of progress too, but finding momentum.
Speaker 1: And the reason I say that specifically with this game
Speaker 1: is because there does appear to be an opportunity with
Speaker 1: this Philadelphia passing defense right now. Ronald Darby has the
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. They are really beat up in the secondary.
Speaker 1: So while they are very stout against the run, and
Speaker 1: you know the way their penetration works, it is going
Speaker 1: to be difficult to get things going that way. I
Speaker 1: think there is a real chance in this game for
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in the passing game to get into some rhythm. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't like to declare a game on a short
Speaker 1: week is any kind of a barometer for anything, because
Speaker 1: these quick turnarounds and everything, you just never know what's
Speaker 1: going to happen in a Thursday night game. But I
Speaker 1: agree with you that there is potentially an opera tunity
Speaker 1: here for the passing game. Because the Eagles are banged
Speaker 1: up on defense. Their defensive front only has two sacks
Speaker 1: thus far, they are ranked near the bottom of the
Speaker 1: league and passing yards allowed. If there's a game for
Speaker 1: this Packers offense to hit on some explosive plays in
Speaker 1: the passing game, and really try to generate some momentum
Speaker 1: here with Aaron Rodgers and Matt Lafleur's offense. I think
Speaker 1: I think this is the one, even though I hesitate
Speaker 1: to say that because you just played a game a
Speaker 1: couple of days ago and you just physically it's always
Speaker 1: hard to say just where the players are going to
Speaker 1: be on a Thursday night game. Absolutely, and and not
Speaker 1: that you can never draw any parallels between three years
Speaker 1: ago and today. But one of my big guys for
Speaker 1: this matchup, I think is Davante Adams. I mean, he
Speaker 1: had sort of his coming out party against the Eagles
Speaker 1: and during that run the table in two thousand sixteen
Speaker 1: where it's like, Okay, this guy that Monday night game
Speaker 1: in Philly that started that run, Yeah, this guy is
Speaker 1: going to be one of the league's elite. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's going to be a cut above. I mean, you
Speaker 1: go back to that game. Five catch is a hundred
Speaker 1: and thirteen yards, two touchdowns, and that was one of
Speaker 1: you know, that was a defense that was on the
Speaker 1: precipice of being really special. Now they're a bit older
Speaker 1: now when you look at the Eagles, there was one
Speaker 1: stat I was looking at I think they have something
Speaker 1: like is it nine or ten guys that are above
Speaker 1: twenty nine years old or something like that on that defense,
Speaker 1: And you know there is something to be said for that.
Speaker 1: You can win with a veteran scheme, but you know
Speaker 1: a lot of times that means a tick slower. So
Speaker 1: I just a lot has been made this past week
Speaker 1: in particular about Adams and his touches and his catches
Speaker 1: and all that, you know, targets. The realistic thing is is,
Speaker 1: you know last year he did have a hundred and
Speaker 1: eleven catches. I don't think you can always just be anticipating,
Speaker 1: anticipating a guy's gonna dominate that much offensively, because it
Speaker 1: is a chess game. I mean, there's going to be
Speaker 1: counters to that. We're seeing some that early this season.
Speaker 1: That being said, I'm very intrigued what the Packers could
Speaker 1: do with him moving forward, how you move him around.
Speaker 1: We've seen him in the slot already, we saw him
Speaker 1: in the backfield once. I just think we're getting really
Speaker 1: close here to one of those big Davantae Adam breakout games.
Speaker 1: Even fifteen catches hud ninety yards, that's nothing to you know,
Speaker 1: bat your eye at. I mean that's still on pace
Speaker 1: for seventy or whatever it is for the season over
Speaker 1: a thousand yards. But I just feel like that big
Speaker 1: Davantae Adams game is coming and this could be one
Speaker 1: that potentially him and Aaron Rodgers find it. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I looked up some stats with regards to Adams. He
Speaker 1: does not have does does not have a touchdown yet
Speaker 1: this season, and the last time he had gone three
Speaker 1: straight games without a touchdown catch you have to go
Speaker 1: all the way back to when he was when he
Speaker 1: was playing hurt. And actually the last time he's he
Speaker 1: had even gone back to back games without a touchdown catch,
Speaker 1: you have to go back to the first two games
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers missed in after the broken collar bone
Speaker 1: for him to even go to straight games without a touchdown.
Speaker 1: So I agree with you, maybe we're on the verge
Speaker 1: of a breakout here because Davantae Adams is just that
Speaker 1: good and you can't keep a player that good down
Speaker 1: for that long. The other thing I will say offensively
Speaker 1: with regards to this game is we had talked about
Speaker 1: in the Denver game, and Aaron Rodgers made a point
Speaker 1: of it, obviously about how well the offensive line played
Speaker 1: keeping him clean. He only took the one hit the
Speaker 1: whole game, no sacks all of that. As I mentioned before,
Speaker 1: this Philadelphia Eagles defensive front only has two sacks thus far.
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz their defensive coordinator. If there is a guy
Speaker 1: with a reputation as a gambler as a defensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: it's Jim Schwartz. And you combine that mentality with the
Speaker 1: fact that the Eagles are coming into lambeau Field at
Speaker 1: one and two, desperate almost in a sense, to at
Speaker 1: least get to the five mark at the quarter pole
Speaker 1: this season. To win this game and get to two
Speaker 1: and two. Jim Schwartz might be taking some chances in
Speaker 1: this game, and that puts a big premium on the
Speaker 1: Packers offensive line to figure out where the blitzer are
Speaker 1: coming from, to pick things up, and to have as
Speaker 1: solid a game in front of Aaron Rodgers as they
Speaker 1: had last week. It's an excellent point, Mike, because what's
Speaker 1: the number one thing A lot of defensive coordinators are
Speaker 1: prone to do when they're beat up in the second
Speaker 1: are or maybe they don't have the depth that they
Speaker 1: want their start throwing more of the kitchen sinks at
Speaker 1: offensive fronts. This could definitely be that type of thing, especially,
Speaker 1: I mean it is sort of a chicken and an egg,
Speaker 1: and it is a dangerous proposition, you know, to be
Speaker 1: going with five, six and even occasionally a seven man
Speaker 1: blitz front. You can't live in those packages, but they
Speaker 1: can give you problems in the interim. So and with
Speaker 1: as much as the package have struggled on third downs
Speaker 1: that you know Jim Schwartz might be looking at third
Speaker 1: down says, Hey, these are the opportunities not just to
Speaker 1: get stops, but to make the plays that can change
Speaker 1: the game. I just think he might be coming into
Speaker 1: this game with that type of mental Yeah. And it's
Speaker 1: interesting too because that type of mentality, there is a
Speaker 1: CounterPunch to that as well. Right you start sending more guys,
Speaker 1: maybe that frees up Davantie Adams in one on one.
Speaker 1: You can see what Marquez Velde, Scantling and two of
Speaker 1: these first three games can do downfield when he gets
Speaker 1: one on one coverage and gets behind a secondary, he
Speaker 1: gets behind a safety. Uh. Danny Vitality I talked about
Speaker 1: it in on our Three Things video with John and Larry.
Speaker 1: I felt like that twenty seven yard wheel route We
Speaker 1: all laughed about the fact that it was a couple
Speaker 1: inches shy the end zone, but I thought that was
Speaker 1: really important to put on film because now inside linebackers
Speaker 1: and safeties have to be cognizant of where he is
Speaker 1: when he's trickling out of the backfield. You had Jamal
Speaker 1: Williams coming underneath. I get what the stats are with
Speaker 1: the Packers offense right now, but I just I do
Speaker 1: like that they've shown these different facets of it, and
Speaker 1: these are all the things that when Schwartz devises his
Speaker 1: game plan that he's going to have to take into
Speaker 1: account for exactly how he wants to attack this offense. YEA,
Speaker 1: all right, Well, before we move on to the Packers defense,
Speaker 1: a little bit of sponsor business. Select Cousin Subs locations
Speaker 1: are now offering delivery. Whether you're ordering catering or your
Speaker 1: favorite sub, They're delivering right to you when you order
Speaker 1: online at Cousin Subs dot Com. Cousin Subs. We believe
Speaker 1: in better okay, defensively here for the Packers west um
Speaker 1: eight takeaways twelve sacks in the first three games by
Speaker 1: Mike Patton's crew. If you can keep up that kind
Speaker 1: of a pace. And that's saying a lot. But if
Speaker 1: you can keep up that kind of a pace, boy,
Speaker 1: that that goes a long way to chalking up victors. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, if you end up leading the league and
Speaker 1: takeaways and your second and sacks and in third and
Speaker 1: points allow, our second points allowed, that is going to
Speaker 1: go a long way and winning ball games. But this
Speaker 1: is what is really important there. They're two big components
Speaker 1: to this. For the defense, they have to stay healthy.
Speaker 1: It has to stay healthy. I mean, the way that
Speaker 1: they're performing right now, this has a real opportunity for
Speaker 1: to be a special unit. I mean I wrote about
Speaker 1: it earlier this week. We didn't really have a chance
Speaker 1: to talk about it because it didn't really come up.
Speaker 1: But you know, I put in my my locker room
Speaker 1: report on Sunday about you know, everything just has gone
Speaker 1: right for these guys, right, and everybody's so happy. But
Speaker 1: it wasn't always that way, right. I Mean you heard
Speaker 1: a lot of things that Aaron Rodgers said throughout the
Speaker 1: preseason in training camp, and then they go into Baltimore
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson and the Ravens kind of run over
Speaker 1: them a little bit, and the veterans on that team
Speaker 1: not one particular player, Basically a veteran from each group
Speaker 1: pulled those guys together. They flew back from Baltimore at
Speaker 1: three o'clock in the morning, sat down here at Lambeu
Speaker 1: Field and reviewed the film the twenty two snaps that
Speaker 1: they played because they all wanted to communicate what each
Speaker 1: other was thinking when they missed the tackle or Mr Reid.
Speaker 1: There's just so much synergy with this defense right now
Speaker 1: that you know, you heard the story about Zadarius taking
Speaker 1: out the starting the entire defense for dinner last week,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't just about going and hey, I'm a captain,
Speaker 1: I gotta lead. It was you know, we're gonna go
Speaker 1: talk football, We're gonna put up a projector and watch
Speaker 1: Thursday night football. We're gonna just, you know, try to
Speaker 1: get to know each other better. If you keep those
Speaker 1: pieces healthy, Mike, I just think that you're gonna have
Speaker 1: ebbs and flows to a season. But the most impressive
Speaker 1: thing to me right now, when I see Zadarius Smith,
Speaker 1: when I see Preston Smith, when I see Adrian Name
Speaker 1: is these guys aren't looking for stats to validate contracts.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if they get a sack. Or not.
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter if they getting interception or not. The way
Speaker 1: that they're performing is making the defense better. Now the
Speaker 1: stats are the end product of that. But I just
Speaker 1: when I see these guys playing, thought that, oh they
Speaker 1: need to go get a sack to to do It's
Speaker 1: what they're doing every single play to affect the play.
Speaker 1: If you keep those eleven guys you know on the
Speaker 1: field together, watch out. Yeah. Well, here's here's my question
Speaker 1: right now with regards to the Packers defense. And I'm
Speaker 1: not sure. I just don't know that much about Philadelphia's
Speaker 1: offense and where they are right now because of the
Speaker 1: injuries they've had at wide receiver and everything else. But
Speaker 1: the last two opponents the Packers have faced have run
Speaker 1: the ball pretty well. We saw Dalvin Cook with the
Speaker 1: seventy five yard touched on right and had about a
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yard game. Philip Lindsay and Royce Freeman
Speaker 1: combined for about a hundred and sixty yards rushing. Now,
Speaker 1: they didn't have any explosives. They ran the ball I
Speaker 1: think it was thirty six thirty eight times something like that.
Speaker 1: So they just kept grinding away at you know, four
Speaker 1: or five yards a crack what does the Packers defense
Speaker 1: need to do to not let the opposing team's ground game,
Speaker 1: you know, dictate things, maybe quite so much as what
Speaker 1: we've seen the last two You have to win up
Speaker 1: front and in the trenches. And I think this is
Speaker 1: the one thing that's been sort of the drawback here
Speaker 1: for Green Bay is that three man rush and dime
Speaker 1: packages has been exceptional. They're getting more pressure out of
Speaker 1: that package than any other time than I can remember.
Speaker 1: When they go four man rush. They can win with
Speaker 1: even fronts. You've seen some of the you know, the
Speaker 1: Saber metric kind of you know, next gen stats talking
Speaker 1: about how much the Packers are winning without having to
Speaker 1: send the blitzer. But the other thing, the other component
Speaker 1: about this is gap integrity, in making sure that you
Speaker 1: hold up, you know, your edges, and in not allowing
Speaker 1: guys to seep through. That was I thought, honestly against Minnesota,
Speaker 1: I thought they played pretty well. They gave up the
Speaker 1: seventy five yard but for the most part, I felt
Speaker 1: like they contained it. The one thing that was tough
Speaker 1: about that game against the Broncos is whether it was
Speaker 1: Freeman or whether it was Lindsay, they just were able
Speaker 1: to extend runs a yard or two more than you
Speaker 1: wanted them to. They didn't get those tackles for loss
Speaker 1: as much as they need to. They didn't get as
Speaker 1: many of those second and nine situations. Just always seem
Speaker 1: like they're sitting in second and six, third and five,
Speaker 1: and that makes it a little bit more difficult in
Speaker 1: terms of trying to stop them on third down. I
Speaker 1: think the key is being able to close that up.
Speaker 1: Now They've had some moving parts. You had b J.
Speaker 1: Goodson jumping in there now after he got you know,
Speaker 1: traded to Green Bay at the beginning of September. Uh. Certainly,
Speaker 1: you know Raven Green who I thought played exceptional in
Speaker 1: that game against Chicago, while he's out of the equation
Speaker 1: now for at least the next eight weeks depending on
Speaker 1: how that plays out for his ankle injury. So I
Speaker 1: just think if you get back to playing the run
Speaker 1: that these the way that they feel that they can
Speaker 1: play it, there is an opportunity here because Miles Sanders
Speaker 1: and Jordan Howard are off to a slow start too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was interesting. I went through the defensive film against
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos and it reinforced for me how much
Speaker 1: of a team effort run defense is in this league
Speaker 1: because when the Broncos were getting some I won't won't
Speaker 1: say explosive runs, but when they were getting those seven
Speaker 1: and eight yard runs, the ones you were talking about,
Speaker 1: they're going to move the chains, run yeah, the yard
Speaker 1: or too you know, farther than you want. It was
Speaker 1: it was just one guy. You know. It was one
Speaker 1: play where Dean Lowry maybe gets shoved out of his
Speaker 1: gap a little bit too far. There's one play where
Speaker 1: Kenny Clark gets double team and kind of gets spun
Speaker 1: around and then the running back runs right past him.
Speaker 1: You know, another play, maybe it's you know, maybe it's
Speaker 1: Blake Martinez or b J Goodson, you know, getting getting
Speaker 1: caught up in the wash, so to speak, in the
Speaker 1: middle of things. All it takes is one guy being
Speaker 1: not quite in the right position and then Lindsay and
Speaker 1: Freeman were taking advantage of that. They had the vision
Speaker 1: to see where it was and then boom they hit
Speaker 1: it and and you know they get an eight or
Speaker 1: a nine yard run or something like that. It just goes.
Speaker 1: It just goes to show how much of a collective
Speaker 1: effort run defense is. And you have that, you have
Speaker 1: that one little breakdown and suddenly another team can start
Speaker 1: to move the chains and control the tempo with the
Speaker 1: ground game. The other part of it, of course, is
Speaker 1: that because the Packers offense hasn't quite found its footing.
Speaker 1: If the Packers offense is doing what you're hoping that
Speaker 1: they can do through the second and third quarters of
Speaker 1: that game, then maybe the Broncos can't stick with the
Speaker 1: run quite as long to stay to stay in the game.
Speaker 1: I was sort of surprised how they did stick with it,
Speaker 1: though they did. They stuck with it the two scores
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. I was like, Okay, well now
Speaker 1: they're gonna they kept and they kept running it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: but the score is to ten in the third quarter,
Speaker 1: and they put together the long drive, they got the
Speaker 1: touchdown on the fourth and goal. They were still using
Speaker 1: the running game at that point. If you know, if
Speaker 1: the Packers offense does one more thing prior to that
Speaker 1: and maybe makes it a three score game in the
Speaker 1: second half, if you're up by seventeen instead of by fourteen,
Speaker 1: then that changes how the opposing offensive coordinator looks at
Speaker 1: things as well. So all all of this stuff goes
Speaker 1: hand in hand. But uh um, but really it just
Speaker 1: seemed like against the Broncos, if there was one guy
Speaker 1: who got shoved out of a gap or something, boom
Speaker 1: like that's where they hit it. And uh, um Packer.
Speaker 1: It's it's just every guy has to really be on
Speaker 1: top of his game when you're facing these good running Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I tipped my cab to you know, Tyler Lancaster
Speaker 1: and Fidel Brown and obviously the rotation they had going
Speaker 1: in with that bass. But I mean they did lose
Speaker 1: Montrevias Adams for that game with the shoulder. You're probably
Speaker 1: not going to get him back for this one. He's
Speaker 1: been estimated as a d MP this week, I think,
Speaker 1: and Trevius has played really well and I like him
Speaker 1: in that role because he's sort of a clog, you know,
Speaker 1: he's he clogged stuff. But yet either's some athleticism there too.
Speaker 1: Uh that that's I feel like very subtly, that's that's
Speaker 1: been a little bit of a loss there. So you're
Speaker 1: gonna need guys to step up in those moments. And
Speaker 1: the other thing is too, I mean, just get back
Speaker 1: to your fundamentals, right, I mean, it's the game tackling.
Speaker 1: It's not allowing guys to you know, break it along
Speaker 1: the sidelines when a guy gets out. Um. That was
Speaker 1: one of the things I did think that Denver did
Speaker 1: really well. It wasn't just the between the tackle stuff.
Speaker 1: They got guys open in space and made people miss.
Speaker 1: Now there's a guy on Philadelphia side that's thirty six
Speaker 1: years old and he's been doing this for a long
Speaker 1: time in Darren Sprawls that the Packers are well familiar with.
Speaker 1: And that's another player in this game I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna have to be cognizant of. I think you look
Speaker 1: at zach Ertz, he's off to a slower start than
Speaker 1: he was last year. But that's a big wind condition
Speaker 1: there for for Carson Wentz. So well, you're probably not
Speaker 1: going to see de Shan Jackson and el Shan Jeffrey
Speaker 1: is gonna be coming back. Um, so there will be
Speaker 1: that component to it. There are a lot of players
Speaker 1: that I feel I can still be dangerous for this
Speaker 1: Eagles offense, and with Carson Wentz behind the controls, you
Speaker 1: can overlook it. Yeah, all right, Well, before we go here, West,
Speaker 1: anybody who's kind of your behind the scenes potential unsung hero,
Speaker 1: the guy nobody's talking about in this matchup that maybe
Speaker 1: shows up and makes a big player does something big
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. I think Robert Tanian's right there, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna see exactly what happens with Jimmy Graham. He's
Speaker 1: dealing with a growing in a quad injury right now.
Speaker 1: Was estimated as a non participate Monday, was then upgraded
Speaker 1: to limited, so we'll see exactly where he is at.
Speaker 1: But man, I just think the narrative changes a hundred
Speaker 1: You know, if you're able to catch that forty three
Speaker 1: yard or there, Tanian doesn't kind of you know, press
Speaker 1: the break a little bit and then close to the
Speaker 1: after looking for it. If you're able to keep that
Speaker 1: in stride, I think that would have been a really
Speaker 1: explosive play, not only for the offense, but for that
Speaker 1: tight end position group tany and there. I think there's
Speaker 1: gonna be opportunities for him in this game. I think
Speaker 1: the way that the defense is constructed with Schwartz, you
Speaker 1: can win in the middle of the field. So I
Speaker 1: guess if I had to pick one, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a hundred yards. You don't need a
Speaker 1: hundred yards, but I mean you get that twenty eight
Speaker 1: yard catch like he did a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 1: that can open up a drive that can make all
Speaker 1: the difference. Yeah, the guy I'm going to keep an
Speaker 1: eye on, and this one I think is Tremont Williams.
Speaker 1: And I say that for mainly this reason. Adrian am
Speaker 1: has had the pick in week one, Kevin King had
Speaker 1: the pick in week two, Darnell Savage has a pick
Speaker 1: in week three, and Jr. Alexander has the strip fumble recovery.
Speaker 1: So which guy who's playing a lot of snaps in
Speaker 1: the secondary? Whose turn is it? Right? It's Tremont Williams,
Speaker 1: So go, I'll go. I'll go with him. He's a
Speaker 1: he's a guy that, uh you know, he's such a
Speaker 1: glue guy in sense for for the secondary, and we
Speaker 1: haven't seen him make any big plays yet, and I
Speaker 1: just think, you know, maybe it's time for number thirty
Speaker 1: eight to show up. I do have to slightly disagree
Speaker 1: with I mean, the play against Allen Robinson was pretty,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't a takeaway, right, it wasn't a turn overplay.
Speaker 1: But yes, you're right, that play, that play in week
Speaker 1: one down the sideline against Chicago, that was a big
Speaker 1: time play by the veteran, not to correct you, but yeah,
Speaker 1: in terms of takeaways, he's still looking for that. The
Speaker 1: other thing I gotta just touch on really quickly here,
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz is a problem. And you know, not just
Speaker 1: for the Packers, for the NFL. You saw that last season.
Speaker 1: The guy, the guy's a matchup issue that needs to
Speaker 1: stay up on him. You know, Blake Martinez was talking.
Speaker 1: He saw plenty of him in college. So whether it's Martinez,
Speaker 1: whether it's Tremon, whether it's Adrian Amos or maybe even
Speaker 1: Josh Jackson as he's rotated in in the kind of
Speaker 1: a safety type role in the dime, whoever comes across
Speaker 1: his coverage has to stay up on their keys because
Speaker 1: it just he can hurt you in so many different ways.
Speaker 1: That was such a safety blanket, not only for Nick
Speaker 1: Foles and and Wentz, but you know, you just see
Speaker 1: how this offense flows when he's going. He cannot let
Speaker 1: him get his wind in his sales there to uh,
Speaker 1: you know, make a difference. Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 1: That's one of the matchups in this game that I'm
Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see just how Mike Petton decides
Speaker 1: to play that with Earth's who does he want to
Speaker 1: have primary responsibility on him. Is he going to keep
Speaker 1: changing it up in terms of whether it's a linebacker
Speaker 1: or safety or or how is he going to go
Speaker 1: about that there? Because that is that is one guy.
Speaker 1: Sprowls is obviously another one, But Art's is a guy
Speaker 1: who's who's one of those chess piece type of players
Speaker 1: in in the xs and ohs that that you got
Speaker 1: to find a You got to find an answer for him,
Speaker 1: even if it's not the same answer on every snap,
Speaker 1: you got to find an answer for With all due
Speaker 1: respect to Kyle Rudolph, Um, you know, they really haven't
Speaker 1: The Packers haven't seen like an elite type tight end
Speaker 1: yet they missed Trey Burton in week one. Rudolph is
Speaker 1: at that point in his career where he's not quite
Speaker 1: as explosive as a guy like Earth's and then you
Speaker 1: know Denver's working through the issues that they have at
Speaker 1: that spot. So I just think this is a new element,
Speaker 1: it's a new wrinkle, and I'm just curious to see
Speaker 1: how the Packers contend with it. Yeah, all right, Well,
Speaker 1: with that, we'll call it a wrap on this edition
