1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: Hi everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com. 2 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford sitting next to my partner in crime, 3 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: West had Kuwitz. Were coming to you here from our 4 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: studios at lambeau Field and West. It's a Monday. The 5 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: Packers obviously did not play over the weekend. The message 6 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: from head coach Matt Lafleur as he dismissed his players 7 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: and coaches for a weekend off after a tough Thursday 8 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 1: night loss to the Philadelphia Eagles pretty simple in that 9 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: you have to turn the page. I believe the phrase 10 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: he used was hit the reset button, because as frustrating 11 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: as the loss was, you have chances by the goal line, 12 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: and you lose the turnover battle and all of these 13 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: other things that went into it. You have to hit 14 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: that reset button and move on because there's a lot 15 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: of football left to be played. Yeah, I thought, least 16 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, yesterday in particular showed you where the Packers 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: sit right now, three and one going into the second 18 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: quarter of the season. That's a pretty good position to 19 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: be in right now in the NFC. And it's tough 20 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: because you know, and I know fans get like this 21 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,279 Speaker 1: to have already started to answer some Insider Inbox questions 22 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: before we tape the show for what will be Tuesday's 23 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: Insider Inbox, and everyone's so reactionary, you know, wins and losses. 24 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: It's the greatest thing ever's the worst thing ever. The 25 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: thing that always surprises me is that, and I think 26 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: media myself is included in this very It's all about consistency, 27 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: right the entire season is you know, the best teams 28 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: that make the playoffs are the most consistent ones. It's 29 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: very difficult just to dominate every single week in this league. 30 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: It's not n c A football where if you're top 31 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: five team in the country, you're just expected to blow 32 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: everyone out. I mean, you had Baltimore looking like they're 33 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: just going to be world beaters and destroying everybody, and 34 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: then they go and have the performance that they did 35 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: against Cleveland, and Cleveland was the worst team in the world, 36 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: and now they're back at two and two. So from 37 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,559 Speaker 1: the Packers, you just have to look at everything at 38 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: a high macro level. Right now you're three and one. 39 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: You're gonna going into a tough environment in Dallas, no 40 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: question about that. But now the Cowboys are coming off 41 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: of a really close loss. So all those things, paired 42 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: together are what makes the league so great. And it's 43 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: also about showing which teams can weekend and week out, 44 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: you know, find the way to win, regardless of whether 45 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: everything goes correctly or not. Yeah, and shortly after we 46 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: get done taping this episode, the Packers will be hitting 47 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: the practice field for an unusual Monday practice, obviously the 48 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: players coming back from the weekend. It'll be a short 49 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: workout and getting ready for that Week five trip to Dallas. 50 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: As the week goes along, we will see what the 51 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: injury updates are with regards to Davante Adams and his toe, 52 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: and Brian Blaga and his shoulder, and Kevin King and 53 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: his growing Those are three prominent starters obviously in the 54 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: Packers lineup that we will see how the week unfolds 55 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: with them. But you said it was as I packed 56 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: up my things and went to bed last night after 57 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: kind of absorbing a day of NFL football, I think 58 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: what struck me because it applies to the Packers and 59 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: what happened on Thursday night against the Eagles. It's just 60 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: how hard it is to get to four and oh 61 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: in this league. I mean, you look at what happened? 62 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Rams give up fifty five points at home, 63 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: so they don't get to four. And oh, the New 64 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: England Patriots got all they could handle from the Buffalo 65 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: Bills and win by six, partly thanks to a blocked 66 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: punt for a touchdown and knocking the starting quarterback for 67 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: the Bills out of the game and the backup ends 68 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: up throwing an interception in the end zone. So New 69 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: England survives and gets to four. No, the Kansas City 70 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: Chiefs get all they can handle from the Detroit Lions. 71 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: They barely survive on a touchdown with twenty seconds left 72 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: to get to four. And oh, it's not an easy 73 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: thing to do. And as you said at the outset 74 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,119 Speaker 1: three and one at the quarter pool, there's absolutely nothing 75 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: wrong with that. And right now in the NFC, nobody 76 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: he has more than three victories. The only undefeated team 77 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: is the San Francisco forty Niners at three and oh 78 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 1: because they were on a bye week. Yeah, absolutely, and 79 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: and and we're gonna talk about some of these Sunday 80 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: games here in a minute. But I thought the Kansas 81 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: City game against Detroit showed you exactly where the bar 82 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: is and It's weird because Kansas City, that is not 83 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,799 Speaker 1: going to be a performance at Andy Reid and those 84 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: coaches are gonna put up as this is one of 85 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: our best that we've ever had. But in an environment 86 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: like Ford Field, you and I have been there how 87 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: many times now, Mike, when you get that energy, they 88 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: get that crowd excited. How difficult it is to pull 89 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: back in Patrick Mahomes. Despite the fact he didn't throw 90 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass in that game, only the fourth time 91 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: in his career that that's happened, they still found a 92 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: path to victory late. That's what it takes to be 93 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: a four oh team. And it's also underrated because it's 94 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: such a tough, bitter taste in your mode to end September. 95 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: But the Packers did a lot of solid things to 96 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: get to three and one at this point, defensively, offensively, 97 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: special teams. It's just it's trying to make sure that 98 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: you shore up the leaks that showed in that game 99 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: against Philadelphia get back on track now going into Dallas. Yeah, well, 100 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: looking at the NFC North, the Lions certainly having just 101 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: as many regrets about their home loss to Kansas City 102 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: as the Packers are with their home loss to the Eagles, 103 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: because the Lions had I mean, my goodness, they have 104 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: a touchdown overturned by replay, and then on the next 105 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: play it's a sack fumble and they lose the ball. 106 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: And then later on you have a running back who 107 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: coughs it up at the goal line and the Kansas 108 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: City Chiefs pick it up and run all the way 109 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: down in the field for a defensive touchdown. And at 110 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: the end of the day, the final score of that 111 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: game is thirty four to thirty in in favor of 112 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: Kansas City. And uh, the Lions are looking at this 113 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: same boy, they were. They were right there to get 114 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: to three oh and one and actually be on top 115 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: of the NFC North at the quarter pole with the 116 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: Packers and the Bears at three and one, with Chicago 117 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: knocking off Minnesota. Yeah, and and the Lions again shows 118 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: you how you really can't or predict anything week to 119 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: week in this league, not only from how tough they 120 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: played Kansas City. You give credit to them for that 121 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: they were to to oh and one. I think you know, 122 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: even if you didn't expect the Lions win the game, 123 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: you expected them to have a really good performance. But 124 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: they end up getting a rushing yards from Carrie on 125 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: Johnson after they really haven't been able to establish the 126 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: run very well during their first three victories. Kenny Gallady, 127 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: who was shut down completely a week before in a win, 128 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: well then he comes back and has two touchdowns, but 129 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: it's still, you know, again, it all boils back together 130 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: where you have to have a consistent performance, even though 131 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: they didn't have Darius Slay. The one thing that I 132 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: found peculiar and I mentioned this on Twitter, and I 133 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: don't know if Matt I didn't see if Mat Patricia 134 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: addressed it after the game. Detroit went with a lot 135 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: of prevent defense on that final series where Kansas City 136 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: ended up going down the field to not only you know, 137 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: take the you know, to tie the ball game up, 138 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: to take the lead at that point. Yeah, the fact 139 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: that they only needed a field goal to tie and 140 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: obviously a touchdown to win, it was it was an 141 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: interesting defensive sequence and maybe the you know, the absence 142 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: of Slay or whatever the case was, if that's if 143 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: that's what it was, I don't know. That was Wesson 144 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: don Hodkuwitz football in the back yard, give him five 145 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: seconds to make the throw and then you know eventually 146 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: you can rush. I mean they're going with a lot 147 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: of three man looks. There was one play I think 148 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: where they had a two man rush with two spies, 149 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: and you know, if you're playing to protect a seven 150 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: point lead, I get that, you know, if the field 151 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: goal doesn't matter. But I mean all Kansas City needed 152 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: was the field goal. And in credit to Patrick Mahomes too, 153 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: when finally Detroit ended up going with an even man rush, 154 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: they were able to collapse the pocket pocket pocket, and 155 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: Mahome came out and just made a phenomenal pass. Uh, 156 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: you know, against some pressure that he found the receivers 157 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: he needs to. We founded Travis Kelsey and that one 158 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: and it was enough to find the victory. Yeah. Well, 159 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: I think we're learning certainly through the first quarter of 160 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: the nineteen season, and we've been talking about it all along. 161 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,239 Speaker 1: But I think yester Day in a lot of ways 162 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: confirmed just how tough this NFC North is going to 163 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: be from start to finish this year. The Minnesota Vikings 164 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: going to Soldier Field, the Chicago Bears lose Mitchell Drabinsky, 165 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: they're starting quarterback on the opening drive of the game, 166 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: and the Chicago Bears defense just completely throttles Minnesota a 167 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: game that was sixteen to nothing until well into the 168 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: fourth quarter before Minnesota got on the board, a sixteen 169 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: to six final. An impressive victory. I don't care what 170 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: you want to say about how ugly it was. That 171 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: was an impressive victory by the Chicago Bears at home 172 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: against a division rival. And Minnesota now is trying to 173 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: figure out, you know, can they take their show on 174 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: the road, because they've been really impressive in two home 175 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,599 Speaker 1: victories and extremely underwhelming in two road losses, both to 176 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: division opponents. Yeah, Minnesota is definitely at a crossroads right 177 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: now because their defense, while still you know, good, it's 178 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: not to the level of where Chicago's at right now, 179 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: not at all. I also thought that, you know, you 180 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: look at the strip sack that Khalil mac had. The 181 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: first thing that crossed my mind is it's like, that's 182 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: why David bat makes the big bucks. That's why Brian 183 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: Bulag I thought, as I've said numerous times now, is 184 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: incredibly underrated. Riley Reef is not a nobody in this league. 185 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: I mean he's played for a long time, he's established 186 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: left tackle. I mean, that's the commitment that the Vikings 187 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: made to him when they signed him two years ago, 188 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: and Mac just made him look silly on that sack 189 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: of m Cousins. I thought that was interesting. I didn't 190 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 1: realize all the fumbles loss that Kirk Cousins has through 191 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: the course of his career. I saw something. It was 192 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: like twenty seven or something like that. Goodness, some kind 193 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 1: of hit and turnovers there. And the reason I say 194 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: Minnesota's at a crossroads because they gotta fair what kind 195 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: of team they are. I mean, Adam Feeland after the 196 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: game was talking about one in passing offense right now, 197 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: just having a difficult time getting that going. Dalvin Cook 198 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: has had some really good performances. He gets bottled up 199 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: in this one and then also misses a crucial past 200 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: protection late that you know resulted a negative yardage and 201 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: a negative play for the Vikings as well. So well 202 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: and the and the Bears do this defensively without Rokuwan Smith. 203 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: Nick Kwikowski steps in as a backup inside linebacker, and 204 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: you mentioned the past protection with Dalvin Cook. This is why, folks, 205 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: this is why we talk about how difficult it is 206 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: for running backs coming from the college game to learn 207 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: how to pass protect and pick up blitzes in the NFL, 208 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, a star running 209 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: back in college, maybe once or twice in his entire 210 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: college career, will he have to step up and block 211 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: a blitzing linebacker who's the caliber of an NFL player. 212 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: You get into the NFL, you have to do it 213 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: on a regular basis. And Dalvin Cook couldn't do it 214 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: against a backup linebacker. And there's nothing against Quitkowski, who's 215 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: played for the Bears for a number of years and 216 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: filled in admirably every time he's been asked to, but 217 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,359 Speaker 1: he's not a starter. And the one time he completely 218 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: whipped Dalvin Cook for a sack and the other going 219 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: around him, I mean to say, and the other time 220 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: he just bull rushed him right back into the quarterback 221 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: because couldn't set his feet and and uh and bow 222 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: up and make the block. It's tough duty, and that's 223 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: why we talk about it with young running backs coming 224 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: to the NFL. Coaches need to be able to trust 225 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: those guys to protect their quarterback against blitzing linebackers, and 226 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: it's not an easy thing to do. I just this 227 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: is the thing I always kind of love about fans too, 228 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: and this isn't anything against Dexter Williams. Aaron Jones had 229 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: to answer the same questions back in two thousand seventeen. Absolutely, 230 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: but fans are always like, why isn't Dexter Williams playing more? 231 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: Why didn Aaron Jones play more in two thousand seventeen. 232 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: There's more to the position than just running the ball. 233 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: You have to be able to protect, pass protect, you 234 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: have to be able to be accountable on third downs. 235 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: You have to be able to go out and become 236 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: a pass catcher when you need to. And that's not 237 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: to say that Williams couldn't or Jones couldn't, but there 238 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: is equity built up in Jamal Williams and Aaron Jones 239 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: in his third season, even you know Danny Vitally there 240 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: in his fourth season to be in those roles, to 241 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: be in those situations, because you just can't risk it 242 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: in those moments. You need to have your most experience 243 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: or most accountable play years, your veteran players on the field. Now. 244 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: A lot of times what happens is injuries will occur, 245 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,719 Speaker 1: and then that's when a player gets thrown in the 246 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: spotlight and you really find out what they can do. 247 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: But until that moment arrives, it's very difficult to throw 248 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: someone out there that isn't ready for that moment, isn't 249 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: proven in that moment if you have the other options available. 250 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things that to be 251 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: honest with you, I think that the Vikings are kind 252 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: of learning this year where they don't have that Latavious Murray, 253 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: that that number two guy here in that spot where okay, 254 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: that's that's you know, a veteran that can step up 255 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: in that situation. Because their number two guy, Madison is 256 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: younger than than Dalvin Cooks. So yeah, they're you're you're 257 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: right there in a there in an interesting spot there. 258 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: And as as Theland said, I mean Adam Theland had 259 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: what one catch for six yards or two catches for 260 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: six two catches for six yards? Which one zero? He 261 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: had a catch for zero yards? Yeah, I mean, um, 262 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: the Vikings we talked about it. Mike Zimmer wants to 263 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: be able to run the football. He wants to be 264 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: a run oriented offense. But a game like yesterday just 265 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: shows you if you if you cannot protect the quarterback 266 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: and you cannot establish any kind of a passing game 267 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: in the NFL, it's very difficult to win. And also, 268 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: I gotta be remis if I didn't say this, Chase 269 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: Daniel really stepped up in that game. A terrible injury 270 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: early on from Mitchell true Bisky did not look good. 271 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: We'll see what exactly the m R S or whatnot 272 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: show with that. But the way that his uh, his 273 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: shoulder kind of you know, move there, Yeah, it wasn't 274 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: It was an awkward deal for sure. So but Chase 275 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: Daniel has been playing in this league for a long time. 276 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: I've always felt like he's sort of one of those 277 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: underrated kind of backup quarterbacks. He's kind of had chances 278 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: to be a starter, but not really right. I mean, 279 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: he went to Philadelphia, they paid him a lot of money, 280 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: but then they end up drafting Carson Wentz. They make 281 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 1: the moves that they did, and he ends up kind 282 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: of falling out their Kansas City Chiefs for a while. 283 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, if you're in that position 284 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: and you feel like you're just the quarterback, a consistent 285 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 1: quarterback away from being a contender, you can do a 286 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: lot worse than Chase Daniel. I thought he really showed 287 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: a lot in that game, especially considering Chicago still hasn't 288 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: been able to really get the running game going here, 289 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: even though they've been featuring David Montgomery the last few weeks. Yeah, 290 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: definitely a real quickly here. West Select Cousin Subs locations 291 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: are now offering delivery.

Okay, as the week goes on, we'll obviously 295 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: talk a lot more about the Dallas Cowboys, but I 296 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: do think we need to address what happened in the 297 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday Night football. The Cowboys 298 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: trying to get to four and oh and Ezekiel Elliott 299 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: is shut down. The Dallas Cowboys offense really has one 300 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: drive opening the third quarter where they go down and 301 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: get a touchdown. But the New Orleans Saints with Teddy Bridgewater, uh, 302 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: they post the victory without even scoring a touchdown. They 303 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: get four field goals and win the game twelve to ten. 304 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: This is one of those results West that obviously the 305 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: Saints are going to be waiting another four or five 306 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: games whatever it is to get Drew Brees back. But 307 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: this is one of those results the Saints beating the 308 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys at home with Bridgewater at quarterback, that we might 309 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: be looking back on in December when we're looking at 310 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: playoff positioning and everything else. This could be a really, 311 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: really keyball game in the whole mix well, and it 312 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: shows one thing we talked so often about quarterback play 313 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: and without a shadow of a doubt, the New Orleans 314 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: Saints are at their best when Drew Brees their quarterback. 315 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: But getting back to that, Mike Spofford, let's be a 316 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: real moment of the week. This game is completely different 317 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: if that's the two thousand fifteen two thousand fourteen New 318 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints defense. Absolutely the job that they did against 319 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott. I mean, eighteen carries for thirty five yards 320 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: along of six and also a force fumble that was incredible. 321 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: Jason Witten had a fumble in that game that was lost. 322 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: Jason Witten has like eight career fumbles in twenty years. 323 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: Got the ball punched out from behind just the way 324 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: that they had tacked the ball. I'm just so impressed. 325 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: I know mars Shawn Lattimore has been kind of hit 326 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: or miss at points this year. But I thought he 327 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: played a pretty solid game. They just made it really 328 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: difficult on the Cowboys. And the one thing I learned 329 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: from that performances and again this is going to be 330 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: super Oh tell me something I don't already know. If 331 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: you are able to contain Ezekiel Elliott, that is the 332 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: domino that sets off everything for the Cowboys. It sets 333 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: off Prescott's play action, it sets off the downfield passing game. 334 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: The more people that you have to get committing to 335 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: the run, the better chances that the Cowboys offense is 336 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: really going to expand they had a very difficult time 337 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: doing that because they just were unable to get Elliott going. 338 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: Prescott didn't really have any big plays and you know, 339 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: there was a dearth of touchdowns in this game. New 340 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints credited him the first time the Sean Payton 341 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: era win a football game without its scoring without scoring 342 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: a touchdown, and Teddy Bridgewater did exactly what he needed 343 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: to do with the weapons that he had to get 344 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: a victory. Yeah, this Saints team, to me is so 345 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: impressive what they're doing defensively and really their their history. 346 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, you go into that New Orleans Superdome 347 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: in a primetime game. I don't know what their winning 348 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 1: streak is or what their record is over the last 349 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, even when they were a seven and nine 350 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: team for those couple of years there. If you have 351 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: to play in the Superdome in prime time, that might 352 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: be the toughest road assignment in the NFL. They're they're 353 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: winning percentage in home night games is u is astounding. 354 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: And they did it again. And the Cowboys, who everybody 355 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: was questioning them because of their first three games, the 356 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: sch the schedule that they had beating the Giants before 357 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: the Giants turned it over to Daniel Jones at quarterback. 358 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: They beat the Redskins, who don't have any wins this year. 359 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: They beat the Dolphins, who don't have any wins yet 360 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: this year, so that everybody was criticizing the Cowboys, and 361 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are saying, Okay, we're gonna come out and 362 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: prove you know who we are. And then they go 363 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: into New Orleans and score only ten points and uh 364 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: and they're sitting at three and one just like the Packers, 365 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: which really sets up an intriguing matchup um at a 366 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: T and T Stadium on Sunday, a pair of three 367 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: and one teams that both feel like they should have 368 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: could have gotten to four and oh, but they didn't 369 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: do it. And now you're looking at the difference between 370 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: four and one or three and two for these two 371 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: ball clubs, and there's a massive hole potentially there for Dallas, 372 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: depending on what happens with Tyron Smith. Right at the 373 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: end of the game the game, Jerry Jones telling the 374 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: reporters and afterwards it's a high ankle spring. So we 375 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: have to see exactly how the week plays out with Smith. 376 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: But Fleming was the one I think that stepped in 377 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: there at the end. That's the thing. I mean. Tyron 378 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: Smith is still at twenty years old, is still one 379 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: of the pre eminent left tackles in this game, and 380 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: for whatever reason he's unable to go or is severely 381 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: limited by that. That is going to be a big 382 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: question mark for Dallas going into this game. I know 383 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: Zadarius Smith and Preston Smith last week, they're disappointed they 384 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: didn't get to the house. But if Smith is, if 385 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: that's Smith isn't there for that, we had to deal 386 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: a lot of Smith's here this this week. That's going 387 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: to be problematic. Yeah, I mean, and uh, this is 388 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: one of those. And I know we'll talk about this 389 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: later in the week, but the type of game that 390 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: Elliott is coming off of, you have to believe that 391 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: the emphasis and practice for the Cowboys is gonna be 392 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: everything it takes to get Elliott going against the Packers. Certainly, 393 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: the Packers have shown their leaks in run defense, and 394 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: you said it earlier that Elliott and what he does 395 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: on the ground is, uh, you know, is the key 396 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: to open the door to everything else in this offense. 397 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: The passes to Cooper, the passes to Wit, and the 398 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: passes over the middle to Randall Cobb coming out of 399 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: the slot. All of that is predicated on on Elliott 400 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: getting defenses to pay so much attention to him in 401 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,959 Speaker 1: order to prevent him from controlling things. And that's the 402 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: type of game that the Cowboys are going to be 403 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: focused on getting back to with a Packers defense that 404 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: struggled to stop the run coming into Dallas. Yeah, definitely. 405 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: And Elliott, I mean you have to imagine he's going 406 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: to just be champing at the bit trying to come 407 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: back and have a solid performance after that. Um, the 408 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: other thing I want to mention too, and again we're 409 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: gonna get a chance to talk about the actual preview 410 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: later this week. But Elvin Kamara didn't have the type 411 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: of game that it's like, Okay, it's gonna jump off 412 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: the page. That was a quintessential Elvin Kamara game, but 413 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: he was effective enough where they needed him to be effective. 414 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: We'll have to see how this week shuffles out for 415 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: the Packers. Certainly, Jamal Williams ended up going to the 416 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: hospital was you know, scene overnight for observation, but had 417 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: a pretty funny little moment with the nurse saying that, 418 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: you know, she wanted to listen to his stomach, and 419 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones recounted this where he's like, you just want 420 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: to see you know, I don't even hungry I am 421 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: right now. However it was he said it in his 422 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: Jamal Williams voice. Um, you know, we're gonna have to 423 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: see what Jamal Williams availability is. But what God, regardless 424 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: of what his outlook is, I think Aaron Jones, potentially 425 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: Danny Vitally, those guys are going to be critical in 426 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: this matchup because Dallas's defense is pretty darn good to 427 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: Jay and Smith is an incredible inside linebacker in this league. 428 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: It's it's funny to me, Mike that we are now 429 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: at a point in time where Sean Lee is a 430 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: rotational player. I remember a time where Shaun Lee was 431 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: their only defensive player that like, if you brought him 432 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: up on a depth chart, that was the only guy 433 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: you looked at when Yeah, he scares me. Yeah, and 434 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: if he was injured and out of the game, you 435 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: felt like you could score thirty five points against the 436 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboy And that that is no longer the case. 437 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,719 Speaker 1: And they have vander esh I mean, they have so 438 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: many talented linebackers there regardless. Will see exactly what happens 439 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: with Jamal Williams. You hope for the best for him. 440 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: But whatever combination of running backs it is, it is 441 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: going to be critical for the Packers to be getting 442 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: those guys going against that defensive front. Yeah. And I 443 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: tell you just one quick thought that Alvin Kamara. That 444 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: guy is so slippery it's incredible. He is so he 445 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: is so tough to tackle. He's he's whether Drew Brees 446 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: quarterback in the Saints or not, Like, it is fun 447 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: to watch the Saints just for when that guy gets 448 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: the ball in his hands because he's something else. And someday, 449 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: if we're talking, you know, you and I are doing 450 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: this in twenty years or whatever, and he's going into Canton. 451 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be like Mike Spofford was the first one 452 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: to say, Alvin Kamara is going to be a player 453 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: in this league, man, and he has held something else. Yeah, 454 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: definitely underdrafted for what he has produced thus far in 455 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: his NFL career, but we gotta go, so with that, 456 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: we'll call it a wrap on this edition of Packers 457 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: on Script.
