1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Packers Unscripted social 2 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: distancing style for Packers dot Com. I and Mike Spofford, 3 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: joined as always by my trusted colleague Wes Hankou. It's 4 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: who has now removed his mask and is ready to 5 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: chat with us today Western it is the bye week 6 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers. They enter this by at 7 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: four and oh sitting on top of the NFC North. 8 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: I know we talked a lot in our last episode 9 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: about how the offense has been rolling the defense seems 10 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: to be showing some signs of progress. So here at 11 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: the break, I want to get your thoughts on what 12 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: we might refer to as the unsung heroes on this team. 13 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: Let's start on the offensive side. Is there somebody that 14 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: maybe we haven't talked about a whole heck of a 15 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: lot on this show, on the offensive side of the ball, 16 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: that you would consider an unsung hero in this four 17 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: no start, Yeah, Mike, I'm gonna go with Lucas Patrick 18 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: as the answer to that question. Now. For for a 19 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: number of reasons. One, Lucas started this season. I remember, 20 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: if you go back to August, we were having a 21 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: conversation with him about how he was making sure that 22 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: he was staying ready. He was wearing a COVID type 23 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: I think oakally face mask to make sure that you know, 24 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: he stayed healthy and was accountable in case they ended 25 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: up needing him as a sort of that inside backup 26 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: at the top three interior positions. Well, then, as it 27 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: turns out, because of the injuries at right tackle, he 28 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: starts the opener against Minnesota and then unfortunately the injury 29 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: to Lane Taylor and Lucas Patrick has become a starting 30 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: offensive lineman for the Green Bay Packers. And what I 31 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: really like about him is is he has a lot 32 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: of the same intangibles I think as t J. Lang 33 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: had during his running Green Bay. He's a very nice guy. 34 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you can sit down and have a really intelligent, 35 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: thoughtful conversation with Lucas Patrick. Obviously not right now, but 36 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: in general you can do that. And but once he's 37 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: on the field, man, there is just a mean streak 38 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: in him. And there's a couple of offensive line I 39 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: think Corey Lindsley was the one who mentioned it last week, 40 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: the way that he finishes plays. Uh, some defensive lineman 41 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: don't necessarily like it. It's caused him pushing and shoving 42 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: and practices the past few years of training camp, even 43 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: in Green Bay. But I think it just shows you 44 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: the type of approach that Lucas has and where he's 45 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: come from. He's a very humbled beginnings kind of kid. 46 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: He's self made through and through, whether it was his 47 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: education or now being in the National Football League, and 48 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: he plays with that edge to him. Uh, nobody is 49 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: his friend on the opposite side of the field. He 50 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: needs to, you know, continue to show that he deserves 51 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: this opportunity, and very quietly, Mike, in the first month, 52 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: this first month of the season, Lucas has become a 53 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: starting offensive lineman and that isn't gonna be changing anytime soon. 54 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: He looks like he's the starting right guard. Yeah, and 55 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: I am totally with you here. In terms of the 56 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: unsung heroes, I guess it's natural to look at the 57 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: offensive line, and I'm gonna go there as well. First, 58 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: I want to say, definitely a shout out to Addam Stenovich, 59 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: the offensive line coach, for all of the injuries that 60 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: the Packers have dealt with on the offensive line, the 61 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: shuffling around and everything that you mentioned, this unit has 62 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: held together. It is it has executed, it hasn't been 63 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: noticed who's playing in what spot, and that's a credit 64 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: to Stenovich and to assistant offensive line coach Luke Butkus. 65 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: So I definitely want to get that out there. But 66 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: I am with you as far as the offensive line. 67 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: And I'm going to mention the name of Corey Linsley, 68 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: and I know we have talked about him a little 69 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: bit on the show, so I'm probably breaking my own 70 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: rule a little bit in that respect, but I'll say this, 71 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: If Corey Lindsley is going to get to a Pro 72 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: Bowl at some point here in his career, man, you 73 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: would think it would be this year. The way this 74 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: has started, the way the Packers, the way the Packers 75 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: offense has gotten off to this start. It's ranked at 76 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: the top of the league, and so many categories. Corey 77 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: Linsley and Aaron Rodgers have been completely on the same page, 78 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: and Rogers has talked about it. With regards to the 79 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: protection calls, the adjustments that are made up front, all 80 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: of that communication falls on Corey Lindsley, and you know, 81 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: Rogers has talked about it. He's only been sacked three 82 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: times in four games, and he blames himself for for 83 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: two of those. So um, I think you know number 84 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: sixty three in the middle of it all here for 85 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: the Packers on the offensive line, and I totally agree 86 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: with you going with number sixty two. Lucas Patrick is 87 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: another guy in this discussion. What the Packers have done 88 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: up front, especially on the the interior, that offensive line 89 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: has been pretty impressive. Yeah, and and just a touch 90 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: on your your pick of Lindsley as well. Yeah, he's 91 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: a starter. Yeah, he's been entrenched, and certainly we have 92 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: talked about him. But I think this is a guy 93 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: that over the course of his six seven years has 94 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: really gone unappreciated, underappreciate, I should say in Green Bay. 95 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: You know, I go back to two thousand and fourteen, Mike, 96 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: and I kind of wrote about this last week in 97 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: the feature I did on him. You know, I remember 98 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: being at the Prescazette and this was the guy the 99 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: very modest expectations as a fifth round pick. JC Treder suffered. 100 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: I believe it was that knee injury right before the 101 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: start of the season, and and Corey had to start 102 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: that first game against Seattle without having taken any preseason 103 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: snaps with Aaron Rodgers very minimal, uh snaps with him 104 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: in practice during training camp, and here he is low 105 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: and behold as the starting week one center for Green Bay. 106 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: And he got a lot of praise those first two years, 107 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: and there was a lot of you know, pushing for 108 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: him to be and make a Pro Bowl and then 109 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: for whatever reason in sixteen seventeen eighteen, it got quiet again. 110 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: Now he has been a Pro Bowl alternate the past 111 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: two years. But I do think when you talk about 112 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: a guy that has really shown his stripes as a 113 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: leader and also just a really darn good offensive lineman, 114 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: a guy like Corey Lindsley, I don't think you can 115 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: really say enough about him. Yeah, I totally agree. Alright, 116 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, who's your unsung hero through 117 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: this four game winning streak? West, Yeah, there's a lot 118 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: of guys you could say here. Um, I'm gonna actually 119 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: kind of split this award a little bit. I'm gonna 120 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: give it to Tyler Lancaster and Kingsley Kikey and and 121 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: the reason I want to do that is because on 122 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: the other side of this, and obviously you were a 123 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: part of Kenny Clark's conference call on Saturday, and I 124 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,119 Speaker 1: had asked Kenny about this. One thing the Packers needed 125 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: to learn here earlier in the year is who are 126 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: they going to be able to count to make sure 127 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: that Kenny doesn't have to play of the snaps this year, 128 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: in this last three weeks. It is not the way 129 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: you want to do it. You do want to not 130 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: have you know, Kenny Clark available for you know, it 131 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: would be the last what fourteen quarters now he needs 132 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: to be on the field. He's a pro bowler and 133 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: he's a He's a guy that really does make that 134 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: defensive front work. He makes everybody's life easier. But the 135 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: one thing that this challenge the Green Bay Packers to 136 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: do was to find other guys on the defensive line 137 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: that are gonna be able to take some of the 138 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: pressure off Kenny when he does return. I think Lancaster 139 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: and Kiki have done that in entirely different ways. Lancaster 140 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: has basically been the nose tackle that one technique right 141 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: over the center here in the base packages, and he's 142 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: gotten better every single week. It hasn't always been perfect, 143 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: but I thought he's really put together two of his 144 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: better performances, maybe the best performances he's had in two 145 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: plus seasons with Green Bay. In back to back weeks here, 146 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: certainly the way he stood, he showed out and really 147 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: clogged up the middle of the field there for Todd 148 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: Gurley in that game against Atlanta. But then you look 149 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: at Kiki too. You know, there are a lot of 150 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: years here the last few seasons since Mike Daniels has 151 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: been gone, where it has to be Kenny Clark is 152 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: that one defensive lineman in the dime package. I think 153 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: Key has shown that he's up for that duty as well. 154 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: He obviously had a sack there two weeks ago and 155 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: then also contributed another out of the base package. He's 156 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: made a big jump this year in year two, and 157 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: he has sort of some of those Mike Daniels type qualities. 158 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: He's not the biggest defensive lineman in the world, but 159 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: he's powerful and he's playing with more power this year. 160 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: I think Kiki and Lancaster two unsung guys that are 161 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: gonna make the packer's job a lot easier here as 162 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: a season wears on on the d line. Yeah, I 163 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: couldn't agree more. And in fact, you stole my thunder 164 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: a little bit with regards to Tyler Lancaster. But you 165 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: knew your western I should have anticipated that you knew 166 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: you were doing that. Anyway, I'll say this though, too, 167 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: just to follow up on that, Mike Petton. It wasn't. 168 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: It wasn't a big blown up comment by any means. 169 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: But last week after the New Orleans game, when Mike 170 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: Petton met with the media, he slipped a line into 171 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: one of his answers about the defensive line and he said, 172 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: Tyler Lancaster did like right around a hundred percent when 173 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: they when they graded the snaps from the Saints game. 174 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: So that prompted me like, huh, I wonder what that's 175 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: all about. So now after the Falcons game, I've taken 176 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: a look at the the defensive film. After I did 177 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: my what you might have Missed on za Darius Smith, 178 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: which is posted on Packers dot Com, I went back 179 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: and looked at everything from Tyler Lancaster in the Falcons game. 180 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: So I'm actually gonna put together another What you Might 181 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: Have Missed next week since we don't have a new 182 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: game to look at. But I'm telling you, Tyler Lancaster's 183 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: film from the Atlanta game really really is impressive and 184 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: uh and I'm excited to put that together, So keep 185 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: an eye out for that early next week to throw 186 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: another name out there West in this unsung hero category. 187 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: On the defensive side, I'm going to say Adrian Amos 188 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: and I know on our last show I talked about 189 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: that great play he made coming over knocking the ball 190 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: out of Calvin Ridley's hands, you know, at the goal 191 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: line when the Falcons are trying to score on that 192 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: fourth and tent play. But here's the here's the thing 193 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: with with Amos, It's it's not so much the splash 194 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: plays like that that that really get noticed. How often 195 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: have you seen in these four games, even with the 196 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: times the defense has had its struggles, how often have 197 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: you seen a miscommunication on an assignment on who's covering 198 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: who and who's supposed to be where. That hasn't really 199 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: happened on defense thus far. And I credit Adrian Amos 200 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: a lot for that. He's the communicator in the back end. 201 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: He's the one who's you know, relaying the checks and 202 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: calls to the corners and and the other defensive backs 203 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: who are out there. I think Amos has done a 204 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: really really solid job now that he's in his second 205 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: year of of Mike Patton's defense, and I know, hey, 206 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: everybody on this defense has missed a tackle here and there. 207 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: I know we saw Amos took a bad angle on 208 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: the one run by Kamara in New Orleans that got 209 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: out of the gate, you know, Okay, so that happens. 210 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: From a communication standpoint, I really think Adrian Amos has 211 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: been a very, very valuable player in Patton's defense. Yeah, 212 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: to throw one more out there too, Mike, almost as 213 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: an honorable mentioned And I probably should have done this, 214 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: gentleman instead, So you could have still had Tyler Lancaster upted. 215 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: It's unscripted. There's no preproduction meeting anymore, especially during the 216 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: COVID era, So right, we don't we can't get together 217 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: and do that kind of You can always text, I guess, 218 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: but I mean you know that that is no. Hey, 219 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 1: let's throw this one out there to Chris Barnes. Now, Now, 220 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: Barnes did suffer a shoulder injury. You hope for his 221 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 1: sake he's gonna be okay coming out of this. But 222 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: you know, Barnes is a guy, Mike. You know, for 223 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: a number of years here, the Packers have really struggled 224 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: to fill that rung linebacker spot. It was a spot 225 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: that you know, really Jake Ryan held down pretty well 226 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: for the better part of four seasons, and Ryan was 227 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: kind of an underrated player in that regard. People's you know, 228 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,719 Speaker 1: sometimes there isn't that appreciation if you're not a three 229 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: down linebacker. There's not that appreciation for what those guys 230 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: do on the early downs. I think Chris Barnes is 231 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: reminding everyone so far with what he's done through the 232 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: first month of the season exactly how effective that position 233 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: can be when played properly. And he came relatively out 234 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: of nowhere. This is a guy that I wrote a 235 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: story on him during the offseason program, and and certainly 236 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: he had his credentials he played at u c l A. 237 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: But I'd be lying if I told you that one 238 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: of the main reasons I pursued it was because he 239 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: was Jordan's Love's teammate in high school. And here he comes. 240 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: He was a credential four star athlete when he went 241 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: to U c l A. For whatever reason, kind of 242 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: flew under the radar in the draft process, hurt by 243 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: the fact he didn't have a pro day. The Green 244 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: Bay Packers snatch him up, and here he is Week 245 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: one ends up playing with the defense this past week 246 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: ends up sharing the communication helmet duties with Ty Summers 247 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: when Christian Kirksey now is on injured reserve. This is 248 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: a guy, Mike, that he isn't just a thumper. He's 249 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: not just a guy that's gonna get down the ball here. 250 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 1: He can make open field tackles. He's showing some stuff 251 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: in coverage Green Bay Packers, Mike. Over the years, obviously 252 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: you and I have talked at nauseum about the undrafted 253 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: free agent process and the college free agency and how 254 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: important that is to building a fifty three man roster. 255 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: Chris Barnes, very quietly, for a guy that did start 256 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: the season on the practice squad, has been a really 257 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: sharp addition for this defense here in the early going. Yeah, 258 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: and we've actually heard from a few of our insider 259 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: inbox readers out on the West Coast to have mentioned 260 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: that Barnes wasn't necessarily a totally healthy linebacker as he 261 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: finished up his career at U c l A. And 262 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: that may have been part of the reason he did 263 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: fly under the radar and go undrafted, not just because 264 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, he didn't have a Pro day and whatnot. 265 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: He might not have had, you know, all that the 266 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: best of his film might not have been what um, 267 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: you know, scouts and and and other folks were looking at. 268 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: So the Packers look like they um, you know, they 269 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: scored another undrafted gem there with regard to Barnes um quickly, 270 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of sponsored business here.

All right, we was before we take a 278 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: break here for the bye weekend. The Packers will not 279 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: be playing in Week five obviously in the NFL, but 280 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: there are some other interesting games to keep an eye on. 281 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: First and foremost Thursday Night Football, the Chicago Bears against 282 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So here you're talking about the team. 283 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: The Packers are going to play Tampa Bay coming right 284 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: out of the by and the team that as of 285 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: now looks like the Packers biggest challenger for the NFC 286 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: North title in the three and one Chicago Bears. How 287 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: do you see this one shaping up on Thursday Night football? Yeah, 288 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: if the Packers had their druthers here, I think they'd 289 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: be hoping for a tie, really demoralizing, depressing, uh tie 290 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: in which neither team plays particularly well. Uh No, I 291 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: mean this is gonna be a good little battle, and 292 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: really seeing how the Bears bounce back is going to 293 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: be the biggest really indicator I think of where their 294 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: season is heading Tampa Bay. It's really funny, Mike, for 295 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: as many issues as they had a year ago, and 296 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: certainly Jay Ms Winston's interception streak at the end of 297 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: the year got a lot of attention, kind of overshadowed 298 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: the fact they had a pretty darn good defense and 299 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: a lot of playmakers on that side of the ball. 300 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: How exactly does Nick Foles bounce back from kind of 301 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: a downtrodden performance. That's gonna be huge. And then also, Mike, 302 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: father time still cannot locate Tom Brady, and there were 303 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: some you know, ups and downs early on and people 304 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: are wondering what he's gonna look like at age forty three. Well, 305 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: last week he looked like Tom Brady and he looked 306 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: like he's having a lot of fun doing it. So 307 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: I'm I've said it from the beginning, Mike. If you 308 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: go back and play back, the unscripted is that you 309 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: and I did. I think in early August the Packers 310 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: Buccaneers game, that's the one I had circled on my 311 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: schedule all along, just because you don't get these type 312 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: of matchups very often. And and it added a new 313 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: layer with seeing Tom Brady once again for Green Bay. 314 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: But Bears started off, they won the games they're supposed 315 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: to win. Now they're seeing some real tough competition. Are 316 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: they the team that they felt they were? Well, what 317 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: you said about Brady is really interesting because after Week one, 318 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers have a big NFC South matchup against the 319 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. That's how they start their season. The 320 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: Saints get to win. Not that anybody was super surprised 321 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,479 Speaker 1: by that, but in this age of the instant analysis 322 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: and the snap judgment, everybody wants to write off Tom Brady. Oh, 323 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: it's not gonna work in Tampa Bay. You know Brady 324 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: is on the decline. Well, then what's he doing Less 325 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: than a month later, Yes, he throws a pick six 326 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: against the Chargers. That helps put his team in a 327 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: to seven hole. But he brings his team back from 328 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: that to seven hole with a vengeance against a pretty 329 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: darn good Chargers team that looks like they've got a 330 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback who's gonna be their guy of the future. 331 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: And uh and the Buccaneers end up winning that winning 332 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: that game against the Chargers, coming back from a seven 333 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: team point deficit. They're sitting at three and one, and 334 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: guess what, They're in first place in the NFC South 335 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: despite losing Week one to their division rival, the New 336 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. So and you said it with regard to 337 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: the Bears, this is all about Nick Foles and how 338 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: does he bounce back. He comes off the bench, leads 339 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: the big comeback against the Atlanta Falcons. Everybody in Chicago 340 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: is all fired up, all right, now they've got their quarterback. 341 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: And then the Indianapolis Colts completely shut down that Chicago 342 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: Bears offense and they lose at home. They're sitting at 343 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: three and one, and now they've they've got a big 344 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: game here with with Tampa Bay on a national stage 345 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: heading into Sunday. We talked on our last show about 346 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: Sunday Night football will be the Vikings and the Seahawks, 347 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: and that's obviously going to be a big game that 348 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: a lot of Packers fans will have their eye on. 349 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: So with the Bears playing on Thursday night, with the 350 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: Vikings playing on Sunday night, and with the Lions being 351 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: on the bye week along with the Packers, what do 352 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: you watch on Sunday afternoon? West Let's see something. Well, 353 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: depending on where exactly you are right now in our country, 354 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: the two big matchups. I have my eye on one 355 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: just because of following what has been going on in Atlanta. 356 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: How do they do against Carolina? Uh, you know these 357 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: things doesn't really have huge playoff implication Asians right now, 358 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: but this is probably the game where they have to 359 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: be able to find a way to win it, and 360 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: or there could be you know, maybe you're looking at 361 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: the type of changes that that Houston went through, but 362 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: also the Oakland Oh man, I caught myself there the 363 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: veas Mike my goodness against Kansas City, and obviously there's 364 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: been a lot of stuff in the media here about 365 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,959 Speaker 1: Kansas City. We'll see how the week plays out, but 366 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 1: you know, the Raiders are a team that they've done 367 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: good things, and they've had moments. Are they able to 368 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: sustain them? Because this is the biggest test for a 369 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: lot of time, a lot of years. They talked about 370 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: the rebuild, they talked about all these things. The moves 371 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: that they made this offseason weren't the type of moves 372 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: of rebuilding team makes. They were making a push here 373 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: two and two. They've had some eyes, they've had some lows, 374 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: and then Kansas City's Kansas City. This is a measuring 375 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: stick game, and especially in that division, these are the 376 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: type of matchups that you have to win if you're 377 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: really gonna compete for a playoff spot. Yeah, that will 378 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: be a big game out there in the f C West. 379 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,239 Speaker 1: I will throw another one at you, and it is 380 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 1: the Giants against the Cowboy Ways. And I bring that 381 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: one up for a couple of reasons, not only because 382 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: it's just interesting to follow what's going to be happening 383 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: here in Dallas with Mike McCarthy taking over there being 384 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: in his first season as head coach of the Cowboys. 385 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: But here's the thing, West, if the Giants beat the Cowboys, 386 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: and if the Steelers beat the Eagles, which they would 387 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: be favored to do. And if the Rams beat Washington, 388 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: which they should be favored to do, through five weeks, 389 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: there will be every team in the NFC East will 390 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: only have one victory apiece. Like it's actually it's it's 391 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: not just possible, it's it's you know, there's there's a 392 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: legitimate chance of this happening here that after five weeks 393 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: every team, no, no, team in the NFC East will 394 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: have two victories. Now the Cowboys are the Cowboys have 395 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 1: the best chance to uh to change that narrative, get 396 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: their second victory against the Giants team that is struggling, 397 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: dealing with injuries and all that. But this, this story 398 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: with regard to the NFC East is not going away. Well. 399 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: And let's be honest about something here. I mean, for 400 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: whatever reason, I don't watch the Eagles enough week to 401 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: week to tell you exactly what has sort of hampered 402 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: them since they're Super Bowl win and why they've been 403 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: kind of hovering near that mark for so long now. 404 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: But Dallas was built to compete this year. They were 405 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: built to contend for a championship and and this is 406 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: gonna be the type of game that I think, well, 407 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: one obviously the division ramifications of it are huge, but 408 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: you gotta start picking some of these up, and you 409 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 1: can't just be because realistically, Mike, they're one on side 410 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: kick away from potentially being at own four at this point. 411 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: So that's gonna be that's gonna be absolutely critical. And 412 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: in looking at that division as a whole, they've already 413 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: made the announcement Dwayne Haskins not gonna be starting for Washington. 414 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: It's very interesting that the reports are right now that 415 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: Haskins won't even be active, So that means, for the 416 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: first time since his gruesome leg injury, Alex Smith will 417 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: be active in this game. So if things don't really 418 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: go well early on, could you be looking at Alex 419 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: Smith retaking the reins there in Washington. So many things 420 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: to figure out with that division, and unfortunately Mike, for 421 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: the better part now of what four years, basically since 422 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: almost Tom Coughlin was with the Giants, Uh, there's just 423 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: been this weird thing going on in that division where 424 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: nobody's really ever been a clear front runner and everybody's 425 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: kind of within striking distance of the lead. Yeah, it's 426 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting division to follow, regardless of regardless 427 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 1: of who ultimately emerges, because the way it works West 428 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: is whoever wins that division, however many wins it is, 429 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: they're not only in the playoffs, but they get the 430 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: host of playoff game. That's that that that is how 431 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: it works here. So so it'll be it'll be interesting 432 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: to follow that as the season goes along. Yeah, and 433 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: and just looking back to the Packers very quickly will 434 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: close on this. I mean, this is kind of a 435 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: huge week when you look at the way that this 436 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: shuffles out. You have Houston, who's gonna be coming up 437 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: on the schedule there oh and four going up against Jacksonville. 438 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: They just made their coaching change. We already talked about 439 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: the vikings and and them trying to get the you know, 440 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: their situation straightened out, going and facing a tough Seahawks 441 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: team on the road. And honestly, might keep an eye 442 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: too on that matchup between the San France score forty 443 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: Niners in Miami. That's almost kind of like the old 444 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: boxing match right where the contender, the champion, loses a 445 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: couple and then they get a tune up fight. It's 446 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,959 Speaker 1: kind of a tune up fight here for the forty Niners. 447 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: Can they still prove in a division that appears to 448 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: be pretty jam packed and Seattle is not allowing them 449 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: to stay within the race right now. Can they pick 450 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: up a win that they most definitely need with them 451 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: now within the radars for the Packers in the next 452 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: month or so, Yeah, no question about it. Well, with 453 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: that we will sign off on this edition of Packers Unscripted. 454 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: We should have follow all of our coverage of the 455 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: team this week through the bye weekend.
