1 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Packers Unscripted from 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: Packers dot Com. I am Mike Spofford, joined by my 3 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: trusted colleague West and Hodkowitz. We're coming to you here 4 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: once again from different locations at lambeau Field and Wes. 5 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: The Packers twenty twenty three mini camp has concluded. The 6 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: off season program for twenty twenty three is also done. 7 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: As you and I are recording this episode, the players 8 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: are out at a paintball activity, firing away and having 9 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: some fun. I wanted to get your thoughts though, as 10 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: far as wrapping up this offseason program. This entire twenty 11 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: twenty three season is going to be all about the 12 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: transition to Jordan Love. So I will just throw it 13 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: out there to you as an open ended question. What 14 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: were your impressions of Jordan Love based on what we 15 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 1: got to see in this offseason world? 16 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: Good work, strong work, and I felt, like, you know, 17 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 2: one of the things he touched on when he had 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: his last media availability with us was two biggest points 19 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 2: of emphasis. The first one on the field was the 20 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: throwing on the run. That was something that him and 21 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 2: Tom Clements Connor Lewis that entire room talked about going 22 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 2: into this offseason program, they wanted to be able to 23 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 2: test him a little bit more there. They did a 24 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 2: ton of drills in that area of the field early 25 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: in the camp and then obviously that kind of naturally 26 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 2: translates to what you know, the team period and seven 27 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 2: on seven as well. That was one area of Jordan 28 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 2: Love's game he felt like he really needed to grow 29 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 2: in this offseason. 30 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 3: They put the work into it. The other one is 31 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 3: more mental. 32 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: It's more from a leadership perspective, and that is the 33 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 2: responsibility that comes with being QB one and Jordan Love 34 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: now is officially the face of the franchise. It's just 35 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: it goes hand in hand. And I thought he hit 36 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: that out of the park this offseason. I mean since 37 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: the beginning of the off season program. Might many times 38 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: since the time that that trade happened with Aaron Rodgers. 39 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 2: How many times did Jordan Love speak three? Four times? 40 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: Yeah? 41 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 2: Uh. He is a guy that has that He's quieter, 42 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: but it's a quiet confidence about him. And I feel 43 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: like that's really going to translate and kind of hit 44 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: down to all those different levels of the offense. In 45 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: the entire locker room, there are going to be you know, 46 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: good days and bad days. There were a few more 47 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: interceptions I think this offseason program than maybe we'd seen 48 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: when during the. 49 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers era. 50 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: But I think it's also understanding, you know, getting those 51 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 2: reps in and trying to learn from him. And that's 52 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: going to be the biggest key for Jordan Love in 53 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three is what he learns from his first 54 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: year as a starting quarterback in the National Football League. 55 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, And what stood out to me the most this spring, 56 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: in addition to what you just mentioned, and as actually 57 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: something that you also wrote about in the Insider Inbox column, 58 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: I saw a young quarterback who was willing to cut 59 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: it loose. Yeah, you know, I mean I did. It 60 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: didn't feel to me watching the practices we got to 61 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: watch when they were and when the offense was in 62 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: eleven on eleven, when they were doing seven on seven, 63 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: the truly competitive stuff, even though it was without any 64 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: pads on. He wasn't holding back. You know, this wasn't 65 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: This wasn't Jordan Love. You know now that now that 66 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: it's his offense to run and he's QB one, that 67 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: he's suddenly just going to become check down Charlie and 68 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and and be hesitant to uh, 69 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: you know, to take his shots down the field to 70 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: let it rip. Now, we'll see what happens in training 71 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: camp when when it's eleven on eleven, when all the 72 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: guys are there, when the pads go on, and the 73 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: competitiveness of practice, you know, kind of cranks up and 74 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: gets to another notch. But I thought that's what exactly 75 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: he did, what exactly what he had to do this 76 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: spring in terms of in terms of not be afraid 77 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,119 Speaker 1: of anything, you know, take some chances and and uh 78 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: and challenge challenged himself as well as challenged the defense 79 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: down the field. I mean, yeah, there were some interceptions, 80 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: some things didn't go that well. That's what you look 81 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: at on the film. That's how you learn, that's how 82 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: you grow as a quarterback. And I thought the way 83 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: I thought the way he approached it, not saying with 84 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: a not saying with a careless attitude, but not being 85 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: too careful and just and just playing the game in 86 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: an aggressive manner. I liked what I saw on the 87 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: field in a spring. 88 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, I said it from the beginning. 89 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: Micah, I feel like there is he there's more of 90 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: a gunslinger element to how he plays the game of football. Absolutely, 91 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 2: I think you're going to see that a little bit more, 92 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: probably with love than he did with Rogers. 93 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 3: You have to curtail that. 94 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: But of all the criticisms because the originally reason it 95 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: came up in inboxes, people saying, well, he's not one 96 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 2: to throw down field. Well, one, you don't know that 97 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: you've seen him, you've barely seen him play quarterback. I 98 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 2: know that for a fact. But two, he is more 99 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: than willing to put the ball downfield. That is not 100 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 2: a trepidation whatsoever. That play he had Mike in Tuesday's 101 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: practice where it's a seven on seven drill. You know 102 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: they're inside the Donal Hudson Center, so they're being careful. 103 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 2: Nobody who was wanting to get hurt here thirty nine 104 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: days away from the start of training camp. But that 105 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: throw he had to Christian Watson, his arm strength, the 106 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: trajectory of the ball, Christian Watson's speed, and his ability 107 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: to catch it and stride and go downfield. That was 108 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: one of the best pass and catches I've seen in 109 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 2: my time covering the Green Bay Packers in a in 110 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: an you know, offseason practice period, regardless of who the 111 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: quarterback is. The kid has all the intangibles of a 112 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: first round pick. It's going to be understanding the riggers 113 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 2: and the day to day and everything that's involved with it. 114 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,119 Speaker 2: Because this isn't a boxing fight, you know, it isn't 115 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: It isn't going to be one of these things where 116 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: you got to go play once and then lkac again 117 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: in three months. Yeah, it's gonna have to do it 118 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: every single week starting in July. So hopefully it gets 119 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 2: a chance to reset here these next five six weeks, 120 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 2: come back fresh for training camp because Mike, when they 121 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 2: report back and the calendar starts to count down to 122 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: that first preseason game, you know, that's when things really 123 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 2: get real. 124 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Matt Lafleur even said it in his 125 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: his final address to the media before that second mini 126 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: can't practice that that when training camp rolls around, it's 127 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: it's go time. There's there's no there's no holding back, 128 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: I mean, and that's one of the things that's a 129 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: it's a big transition for the rookies where you know, 130 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: OTAs is kind of learning and and it's like, okay, 131 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: you know, you make a mistake. We'll talk about it. 132 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: Let's you know, let's work our way through it. In 133 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: training camp. You know, when they're eleven on eleven, they're 134 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: running play after play after play. It's it's a it's 135 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: it's a fast paced, competitive, get ready for the season, uh, 136 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: you know, type of environment. And uh you know, Jordan 137 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: Love has obviously been through that before, not as not 138 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: as QB one, and he did it, you know, at 139 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: least in this uh this mini camp setting. We did 140 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: see as we had talked about on our previous show, 141 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: Jay r Alexander Rasul Douglas who had not been it 142 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: participate aiding in the voluntary ot as they were here 143 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: as the starting cornerbacks in mini camp. It made for 144 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: some uh I guess you'd say some any anytime Ja 145 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: or Alexander, Jay or Alexander and Rasul Douglas are both 146 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: on the field, there's going to be energy and spirit 147 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: to a practice. You're going to hear a lot of 148 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: barking and chirping, and that's just the way they go 149 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: about it. And uh so it was you could definitely 150 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: feel their presence was back on the field. But that's 151 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: also that was also important stuff, particularly in the seven 152 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: on sevens for for Jordan Love to uh, to challenge himself, 153 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: to challenge the defense, to to challenge his receivers to 154 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: go to go make some plays against those guys before 155 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: U before training camp gets here, and uh and it 156 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: gets a lot more serious in terms of preparing for 157 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: the season. 158 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. 159 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: I thought it was one of those, uh sort of 160 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: litmus tests, those barometers for where a young quarterback. 161 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 3: Needs to be. And I thought, you know, there was 162 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 3: going to be some battles there. 163 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 2: I thought you saw, you know, Ji Alexander as as 164 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: Love talked about, he kind of baited into one in 165 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 2: the two minute drill being able to get that pickoff 166 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 2: of him. But that big pass to Christian Watson that 167 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: that was over Alexander as. 168 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: Well, who says zone defense never works, right, that was 169 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: that was a that was a zone call and Job 170 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,559 Speaker 1: baited him into the into the kind of that honey 171 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: hole throw down the sideline and then boom interception and 172 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: that that ends the two minute drill. And that's those 173 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: are the kind of plays that that guy's like number 174 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: twenty three can make. 175 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. 176 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: And I also like that going back to Tuesday's practice 177 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 2: inside the dun Hudson Center, you know that that red 178 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: zone period where the defense is winning that drill one 179 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 2: after another. Right, they're within the first you know what, 180 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 2: ten to fifteen yards of the end zone. But then 181 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: Love just throws an absolute dime on kind of a 182 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 2: corner fade to Romeo Dobbs. Dobbs makes a phenomenal catch 183 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: on the play that was over jyr Alexander's coverage too, 184 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 2: so ragged it dragged. 185 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: His feet kept his feet in bounds on that one too, 186 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: right in the corner. 187 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: Yep, Yeah, I mean in that kind of look, Mike, 188 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 2: I mean credit to Corey Ballentine and and you know Schamar, 189 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 2: John Charles and all these young corners that have been 190 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 2: in here. Keishawn Nixon was here for a lot of 191 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 2: these practices too, But the game's different when it's a 192 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: two time All Pro out there. And I feel like 193 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: that's really strong work for Love to get now as 194 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 2: he prepares to see that type of look every single 195 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: day of August. 196 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it. Well, a couple other topics 197 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: I want to get to here, But first a little 198 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: bit of sponsored business. Serious XM NFL Radio delivers hard 199 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: hitting analysis and up to the minute NFL news that 200 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: true football fanatics need twenty four to seven three sixty five, 201 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: and at Cousin Subs, we have something for everyone like 202 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: our Wisconsin Cheese Kurds, mac and Cheese, golden fries, and 203 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: creamy shakes, all paired with your favorite sub or sub 204 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: in a bowl. Cousin Subs fifty years of better. All right, Well, 205 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: one item that we had talked about on our last 206 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: show in terms of previewing Mini Camp actually did come 207 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: to fruition, and that we got to see rookie sixth 208 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: round draft pick and kicker Anders Carlson in a couple 209 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: of field goal periods here during Mini camp. One was 210 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: inside the Hudson Center on Tuesday with all the rain outside. 211 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: Another was on Wednesday when the players are back out 212 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: on Nichkie Field. And the first thing I'll say about 213 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: Andres Carlson is leg strength is not a problem. Exactly 214 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: why he is a kicker who was drafted, not one, 215 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 1: not one who ended up going the undrafted route. The 216 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: young man has a big leg. 217 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 2: You know. It was funny, Mike, because we talked all 218 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 2: off season program, when are we going to see Andrews Carlson? 219 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 2: When are we going to see Andres Carlson kick because 220 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 2: they've just been something. It's one thing I like actually 221 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 2: that Bisacci does is it's very procedural. Right. I've seen 222 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 2: them take take more reps at field goal kicks without 223 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 2: actually kicking the ball than any other time in my 224 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: ten years covering this team. I mean, he does it religiously, 225 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: making sure guys know they're blocking assignment, making sure you 226 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 2: see what the snap looks like, the hole looks like that, 227 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: everything else is there other than the kick, because ultimately, 228 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 2: you do want to keep these guys healthy and you 229 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 2: want to keep the you know, kicking and punting legs strong. 230 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 2: That being said, we got to see Anders Carlson kick 231 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 2: a lot of field goals on Tuesday and Wednesday. 232 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 3: On Tuesday, he's booming these things, but. 233 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 2: They're inside the Don Judson Center, so you're kind of like, okay, 234 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 2: you know what is it? This is perfect conditions, no issues. Well, 235 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 2: then he goes out to the practice field on Wednesday. 236 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 2: In Mike, there was one period where they're doing some 237 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: seven on seven work, but Carlson is practicing the operation 238 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 2: right in front of us, and he is kicking probably 239 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 2: seven eight feet in front of us. And I use 240 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 2: this as my insider inbox headline, I mean, the ball 241 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: just torpedoes off his foot. Yeah, you know again, I'm 242 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 2: not going to put this guy in the Packers Hall 243 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 2: of Fame. We got a long way to go. We 244 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 2: got to see what the field goal accuracy looks like. 245 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 2: But from a pure fundamental standpoint, after hearing Rich Basacci 246 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 2: and Brian Gudikuntzen all these guys talk about this young 247 00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 2: man's leg strength, Holy moly, Anders Carlson has a foot 248 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: on him, and it would Lastly, I'll just quickly say 249 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 2: I was talking to Colby Wooden, his teammate at Auburn, who, 250 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 2: by the way, I didn't know this until he mentioned it. 251 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: They also were locker mats within one of each other 252 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 2: at Auburn, too, so very familiar feeling for both of 253 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: those guys being next to each other in Green Bay. 254 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: But he said, yeah, I mean, the thing you got 255 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 2: to understand about Durors he kept calling him Durres, is 256 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 2: that you know the amount of athletic ability that this 257 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: young man has mixed with his work ethic and how 258 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 2: much him and his brother really live, breathe and eat kicking. 259 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 2: It gives him a really solid chance now to be 260 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: able to follow in Daniel's footsteps in the NFL. And 261 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 2: B I think the type of you know, kicking prodigy 262 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: that a lot of people predicted him to be when 263 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: he succeeded him at Auburn. 264 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, And what really caught my eye and watching him 265 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: with the field goals and we saw him I believe 266 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: in the two practices. In terms of charting it, he 267 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: made eleven out of twelve from several distances from extra 268 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: point distance all the way to fifty plus on a 269 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: couple of those kicks. What really caught my eye was, 270 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: particularly on the long distance kicks, that it looks pretty 271 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: effortless with him. It's not it's not like it's not 272 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: like you're seeing this, uh you know this big wind 273 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: up and and like you know, maximum effort and you know, 274 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: a grunt when he kicks the ball or anything like that. 275 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's whether he's kicking, whether he's kicking a 276 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: thirty three yard extra pointer or a fifty three yard 277 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: field goal, it looks, uh, it looks pretty easy in 278 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: that that you know that that leg doesn't look like 279 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: there's a whole lot of effort going into it. And uh, 280 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: just from from the appearances it was. It was impressive 281 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: to watch, as you said, everything with regard to accuracy 282 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: and kicking in lambeau Field. When the winds start to 283 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: swirl in November and December and all that, he's gonna 284 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: have a lot of stuff to work through, just like 285 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: just like any young player making that transition. But but boy, 286 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: you can certainly see why the Packers were high on 287 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: him as a prospect despite you know, looking strictly statistically 288 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: at some of his numbers from Auburn that you know, 289 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: the the the percentages and whatnot didn't necessarily jump off 290 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: the page. And you know, there was some injury history there. 291 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: This was a prospect that the Packers really really like 292 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: and we got to see why they like it. 293 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 3: Well, that was one thing I talked with wood In 294 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 3: about too. 295 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: It would be more of a concern, I think if 296 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 2: it was okay structurally, this kid's you know, he's kicking 297 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: his back out. 298 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 3: He's kicking his leg. It's the freak injuries that happened there. 299 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 2: I mean, trying to recover an onside kicked, hearing your 300 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: ACL that's just bad luck, right, and then spending your 301 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 2: senior year trying to kick while having a knee brace 302 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 2: on your plant leg. I mean, just things that kickers 303 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 2: are not necessarily used to or really natural to them. 304 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 3: But as you said, Mike, and it. 305 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 2: Is it's worth bears repeating the fact that he does 306 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: it so effortlessly. 307 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 3: What does that matter? Why is that such a big deal? 308 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 2: Because the more you got a strain to kick that ball, 309 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: the more likely it is you're gonna mishit it. You're 310 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 2: gonna lose that accuracy piece. When you are able to 311 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: be free flowing, in natural with your kicking motion, that's 312 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 2: how you get it right down the pipe. That's one 313 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 2: thing I learned from Mason Crosby. When everything else lines up, 314 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 2: the distance and power takes care of itself. I mean, 315 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 2: obviously there's a Justin Tucker's in the world. I'm sure 316 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 2: can probably just kick it from anywhere on the field 317 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 2: and make it well. 318 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: You see guys like Justin Tucker, they make that extra 319 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: effort when he's trying a sixty six yard or whatever. 320 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: But when it's you know, fifty five or fifty eight 321 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: yards and in anywhere in there, you know Justin Justin 322 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: Tucker doesn't look like he's trying all that hard either. 323 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's where this all comes together and we'll 324 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 2: have to see how this thing looks in training camp. 325 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 2: But I think it's really interesting that the rookies, you 326 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: know that the Packers drafted there. How funny is it 327 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 2: that here we are going into training camp now and 328 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: that's the only other spe that's the only specialist position 329 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: where the Packers don't have multiple guys at it's Anders 330 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 2: Carl and the Packers are going to be looking for 331 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 2: him to win that job this summer. 332 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, one last topic before we sign off for 333 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: the off season. We did get to hear after Wednesday's 334 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: practice from Rashawn Gary, the fifth year outside linebacker, first 335 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: comments to the media since injuring his knee the torn 336 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: acl at Detroit last November, and the story on the website. 337 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: I wrote a quick story after the interview on Wednesday 338 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: after that after the practice, he's not making any promises 339 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: in terms of a timeline. He was asked, you know, hey, 340 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: can you be back for week one? How about training camp? 341 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: You know where things at? And he just said multiple times, 342 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: I'll be ready when I'll be ready. But what I 343 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: took from that it was more of it was more 344 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: of how he said it and the attitude that he 345 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: was carrying and answering those questions. He sounded very upbeat 346 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: and positive. He likes the track that he he is on. 347 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: And if there's one thing we know about Rashon Gary, 348 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: it's that if there is anything he can do in 349 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: terms of his rehab, if there's anything the medical staff 350 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: is going to let him do to try to get 351 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: his work his way back any faster, he is going 352 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: to do it because he's an absolutely relentless worker. And 353 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: it sounds like, you know, things are pointing in a 354 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: positive direction in terms of his return at some point, 355 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: hopefully early in the twenty twenty three season. 356 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 2: I don't know, Mike if I've ever seen someone who 357 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 2: seems to enjoy the grind more than Rashon Gary. 358 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 3: Now. 359 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 2: I'm sure he doesn't want to be having to go 360 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 2: through a rehab right now, but when you talk about workouts, 361 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: when you talk about going the extra mile, when you 362 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 2: talk about practice, this young man gives it as all 363 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 2: Mike and I have been. There was a moment after 364 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 2: he got done with this presser. His scrum was on 365 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 2: one side, I was over at Jordan Love on the 366 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 2: other and I'm looking at him as he's walking back, 367 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 2: you know, getting all other things together. And I'm like, dude, 368 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 2: if I didn't know any better, I would think that 369 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 2: Rashaun Gary is perfectly fine and in the best shape 370 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 2: of his life. I mean, that's how he looks right now. 371 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 2: He doesn't look like a guy that's rehabbing an ACL. 372 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 2: He looks like a guy that's ready for week one. 373 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 2: Don't go running away with that. It's still going to 374 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 2: take time. You need to make sure that the ACL 375 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 2: is strong and everything. But the guys you can tell Mike, 376 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: he has not taken a day off. If there's something 377 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 2: that he's allowed to do, something that he's cleared and 378 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 2: greenlit to do, he is going to do those activities. 379 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 2: Oh and then, by the way, spent a lot of 380 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 2: time here this offseason was around all these young guys. 381 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 2: Kingsley and Igbari is learning from that, Lucas van Ess 382 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 2: is learning from that, every single young guy in there, Mike, 383 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 2: much like with Preston Smith, Rashawn Gary has been that 384 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 2: guiding light in that force. And if you have a teammate, 385 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 2: a star, a leader like him that is putting in 386 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 2: all that effort and we don't know when he's going 387 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 2: to be back to the field. 388 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 3: Well, how much does that motivate. 389 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 2: You when you're the one they're going to be counting 390 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 2: on until Rashawn is back, until number fifty two is 391 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 2: running through that tunnel again. I just think it raises 392 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 2: the awareness and heightens the energy and urgency of everybody 393 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 2: on that defensive side of the ball because Mike, as 394 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 2: we've heard all these guys talk about Preston Smith, jyr Alexander, 395 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: Darnell Savage, Kenny Clark, everybody talked about all last season 396 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 2: didn't fully meet their expectations and where they. 397 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 3: Want to see this thing go. 398 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 2: Now in twenty twenty three, when Gary gets back, he 399 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 2: is going to be hell fire in Brimstone trying to 400 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 2: take down the opposing quarterback. And I think everybody else 401 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 2: that understands, Okay, this is the work that Rashawn's putting in. 402 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 2: While I'm healthy and I'm ready to go, I have 403 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 2: to make sure that I'm playing to that standard as well. 404 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it. And oh also, in the 405 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: midst of all the rehab and everything else, he found 406 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: time to finish up his class work and get his 407 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: degree from the University of Michigan. He graduated in ann 408 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: Arbor at the end of April. So congratulations to Rashaun 409 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: gary on that that was a promise he had made 410 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: to his mother when he left school early, entered entered 411 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 1: the NFL draft with with some you know, time in 412 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: college still left to go. So congrats to him there. 413 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: This is we've talked about it Wes on this show. 414 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: You know, on an annual basis, we've seen the progression 415 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: from a Shaun Garry a couple of sacks as a rookie, 416 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: handful of sacks his second year, approaches double digits his 417 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,719 Speaker 1: third year, and then he was going like gangbusters last year. 418 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: He had six sacks in the first eight games. And 419 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 1: it wasn't even just the sack numbers, but you know, 420 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: but just the pressures, the constant pressure on the quarterback, 421 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: the impact he was having on opposing quarterbacks. I think 422 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: he even had you know, there might have been at 423 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: least one one sack or something that was wiped out 424 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: by a penalty I think early in the season last year. 425 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: But he's on pace for double digits and who knows 426 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: what he would have had. But then the injury happens 427 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: in game number nine, halfway through the season in Detroit, 428 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: and suddenly it all comes to a screeching halt. But 429 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: you just get the you just get the sense that 430 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Rashaan Gary is gonna 431 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: make this, this ACL injury and the whole rehab and 432 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: recovery just a blip on the radar screen in terms 433 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: of in terms of where his career is going. And 434 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: and this Packers defense. I mean, Matt Lafleur even said, 435 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I'm sort of you know, looking out 436 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: of the corner of my eye every day at what's 437 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 1: going on with Rashaan Gary's rehab when he's off to 438 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: the side during practice. How's he looking, how's he doing? 439 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody wants to see this guy back in 440 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: full force, and we'll just have to see what the 441 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: ultimately what the timeline is. But this Packer's defense, all 442 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: of his teammates are going to be excited to get 443 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: him back on the field at some point this coming season. 444 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and not that Rashan Gary needs any extra motivation, 445 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: because I think the kid has that naturally ingrained in 446 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 2: him that has already been uploaded into his you know, 447 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 2: memory bank. But the fact is he is also going 448 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 2: to you know, he's entering a contract year. He's playing 449 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 2: on that fifty year option right now. When you were 450 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 2: talking about what might have been had he not got hurt, 451 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 2: you don't know what extensions look like. You don't know 452 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 2: what those guaranteed contract look like. Whenever he is cleared, 453 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 2: whenever he's good to go, he's playing for that next 454 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 2: contract too. So I just think there's so many things 455 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 2: go in the right direction for him, and whatever happens, 456 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about Rashawn Gary. You don't 457 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,719 Speaker 2: have to worry about what his motivation level is going 458 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 2: to be, like how he's going to approach things. The 459 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 2: kid is absolutely one hundred and ninety percent all ball 460 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,719 Speaker 2: and for the Green Bay Packers, they need him back. 461 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 3: They need that pass rush. 462 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 2: I think if he's able to get back here at 463 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: some point, I don't know when, first half the season, whenever. 464 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: You know, you think about the possibilities with Lucas Vannas, 465 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 2: you think of the possibilities with all those guys. There's 466 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 2: so many different things that Green Bay Packers can do 467 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 2: and it's right there for them. 468 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, it's it'll be something to watch when whenever 469 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: we do see Rashaun Gary get to get back on 470 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: the field. It's going to be a big story for 471 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: this team and a big lift for this twenty twenty 472 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: three Packers defense whenever that does happen. So with that, 473 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: we're going to call it a rap on this edition 474 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: of Packers Unscripted, which also puts a rap on the 475 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three off season. We will be back at 476 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: some point just prior to training camp to to preview 477 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: what will be coming up when when things hit full 478 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: speed in training camp in late July, and hopefully, Wes, 479 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: hopefully we won't be talking to each other, you know, 480 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: through a computer screen. Maybe we'll be both back in 481 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: the studio kind of with our old setup.
