1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody, Welcome to another edition of Packers Unscripted from 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: Packers dot Com. I am Mike Spofford, joined by my 3 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: partner in crime, West Hodkowitz, were coming to you here 4 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: from our studios at lambeau Field and West. Have you 5 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: caught your breath yet? Thirty to eight the Packers pull 6 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: out a last second victory in San Francisco. With this one, 7 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: we might as well start with the finish. Thirty seven 8 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: seconds on the clock, no time Out's ball on Aaron Rodgers, 9 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: Davante Adams, Mason Crosby and some really good pass protection 10 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 1: get the job done for the Packers. Moments of greatness, 11 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: reveal themselves, you know, in those clutch moments, and it 12 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: it's just it's incredible. Coin back and looking at some 13 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: of the transcripts, you know from Kyle Shanahan in the 14 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: locker room for the forty niners thirty seven seconds left, 15 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: they knew there was too much time left on the clock. 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: Now that's not to say the green By Packers was 17 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: gonna go down, and at their own will put points 18 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: up against them, but that's way too much time to 19 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: give Aaron Rodgers to make something happen. And even with 20 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: no time out, even with no time Oh it's and 21 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: as Rogers said, and he's so eloquently put afterwards, you know, 22 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: he knew he needed to chunk plays to be able 23 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: to get downfield. They needed to get within the thirty 24 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: seven yard line there, basically to give Mason Crosby a 25 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: chance at this thing. And what are you gonna do. 26 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: You're gonna look towards Davante Adams, and you know, Adams 27 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: pretty much imposed his will on San Francisco in the 28 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: first half. A lot of injuries in their secondary, pretty 29 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: banged up. They were having a hard time, you know, 30 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: trying to defend against him. They eventually shifted to the 31 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: cover to look giving him a little bit more attention 32 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: in the second half. But on that final series, I mean, 33 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: they were content to try to find ways to play 34 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: a semi prevent defense. They still rushed for but they 35 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: put guys back and Aaron Rodgers went to work. Man. 36 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: I mean that first play, as he talked about later on, 37 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: something that they kind of even drew up in the 38 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: dirt at practice on Thursday, for you know, Adams to 39 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: come across and Roger to put that ball where he did, 40 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: just over the outstretched outstretched arms of Fred Almost, Fred Taylor, 41 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: Fred Warner, one of the best in the business inside 42 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: linebacker right now, to get those twenty five yards right 43 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: off the bat. Once they got to midfield, I think 44 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: everybody felt pretty good about their chances to be able 45 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: to at least give Mason Crosby a chance to hit 46 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: the game winner. Yeah, once the ball was on the fifty, 47 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: as Rogers said, he knew going into it, two chunk 48 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: plays is what you need. He got the first one. 49 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: The balls at midfield at that point, you know, I 50 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: mean Crosby's said afterward, his range was, you know, fifty 51 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: four to fifty six yards. Maybe you could push it 52 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 1: a little further if you absolutely had to, uh, one 53 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: more completion, one more chunky yardage there got that kicked 54 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: to fifty one, and you know that certainly well within 55 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: Crosby's range. I thought it was interesting that Adams right 56 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: after the game said that in some ways the fact 57 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: that there were no time outs might have worked to 58 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,559 Speaker 1: the Packers advantage because with no time outs, the Forts 59 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: were regarding the boundaries they were they were leaving the 60 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: middle of the field open, thinking that a couple of 61 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: completions in the middle of the field and the time 62 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: it would take to go up and spike the ball 63 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: that maybe the Packers wouldn't quite have enough, And it 64 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: turns out they did. They had three seconds to spare, 65 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: even with the one incomplete pass in between the two completions, 66 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: the two spikes, three seconds to spare, and uhum, and 67 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: the Packers get out of San Francisco with with an 68 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: incredibly uplifting victory. Um. You know, these two teams long 69 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: ways to go in this season, obviously, but these I 70 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: think are two teams we're gonna be talking about come 71 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: December when we're you know, looking at playoff picture and whatnot. 72 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: Very much so because the weapons now for San Francisco 73 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: are more than just their running backs. I mean, you know, 74 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, he's going to be a problem here for 75 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: the NFL. I thought, George Kittle when he's healthy, it's 76 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: him and Travis Kelsey as far as one A, one 77 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: B for the best of that position. But what it 78 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: struck me the most about that final drive was the 79 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: psychology of it. And Rogers explain, you know, you can't 80 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: be looking for checkdowns there. That's that's bad. But they 81 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: also the way they bracketed. The sidelines were basically protecting 82 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: against allowing any pass in the middle field to get 83 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: to the sideline. So what does Green Bay do. Davante 84 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: Adams goes down the first time, gets the seventeen yards, 85 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: gets down again. Playing with a backup left tackle and 86 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: all these moving pieces, they managed to set their formation, 87 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: spiked the ball, and Mason Crosby, for what the ninth 88 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: time in his career now goes out there and drills 89 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: home a game winner. NOE got a little close for 90 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: comfort in terms of the pass rush or the you know, 91 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: the attempted block there by San Francisco. But be that 92 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: as it may, horseshoes and hand grenades, the Green Bay 93 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: Packers came out. They found a way to win this thing. 94 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: They had the way to the world on them in 95 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. So many different circumstances, some questionable officiating, 96 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: I mean, different variables, but more than anything, San Francisco 97 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: showed a never say die attitude and they came back 98 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: to put themselves in that ball game. But ultimately, Mike 99 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: I said it in Insider Inbox, you and I've talked 100 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: about this week, the Green Bay Packers were the better 101 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: football team and Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams were the 102 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: two best players on the field. That's what showed him 103 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 1: crunch time. Yeah, absolutely, the Packers. The Packers were the 104 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: better team on the field in this game for the 105 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: vast majority of I mean the fact that the forty 106 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: Niners never had the lead in the game until there 107 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: were thirty seven seconds left on the clock. That says 108 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: a lot. With the Packers playing on the road. We 109 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: had talked about it last week, how important it was, 110 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: Rogers had talked about it after the Detroit game La 111 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: Fleur as well, how important it was to get off 112 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: to a fast start. The Packers were able to do that, 113 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: getting out to a seventeen nothing lead in the second quarter. 114 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: The defense was playing really well, the offense was moving 115 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: the ball. The seventeen nothing could have been even better. Obviously, 116 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: the Packers had had a failed fourth and one in 117 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: the red zone there that that left points out there. 118 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: But they got off to the start that they needed 119 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: to and for the most part, really up until that 120 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: final drive by San Francisco, the Packers prevented the San 121 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: Francisco Amentum shifts because they were there. There were the shifts, 122 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: but they prevented them from becoming that that tsunami where 123 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: the other team just completely takes over and suddenly you're 124 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: you're totally on your heels and you can't figure out 125 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: how to how to stem the tide. That never really happened. 126 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: San Francisco give them credit. They put together Garoppolo puts 127 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: together the drive. The big play to Kittle was was 128 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: really the backbreaker for the Packer defense there and uh 129 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: and San Francisco gets into the end zone, but Aaron 130 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: Rodgers had just enough time to go the other way. 131 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: And in Rogers and Adams have already discussed them just 132 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: how how talented they are and to be able to 133 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: have that connection, being able to find a way to 134 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: win that football game, all the credit to them in 135 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: the world. When we saw we saw the back shoulder 136 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: throws early and then you see the balls over the 137 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: middle late in the game. I mean, when Aaron Rodgers 138 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: needs it, it's there's there's no secret you know who's 139 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: going to get the football. But I'm gonna mention this 140 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: because he'll be the last person to bring it up. 141 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: But I mean the game plan that Matt Laflour and 142 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: his coaches put together, and the way they coached that 143 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: football team. I thought, really shine through in this game. 144 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: Uh first and form do you look at you know 145 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: you have Yoshneimen making a spot start at left tackle. 146 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: I went back and did the math Mike. One thousand 147 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: and forty four days since the last time that young 148 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: man started in a meaningful regular season game. You have 149 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: to go back to, you know, his time at Virginia Tech, 150 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: and here he is protecting the blindside of the NFL's 151 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: reigning league MVP. Niman did an exemplary job in that game. 152 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: But it's also Matt Lafleur and his coaching staff being 153 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: really smart with their game plan right. They understood you 154 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: can't put the you can't put everything on this kid 155 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: against Nick Bosa. There were times where it needed to 156 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: be that, but Mercedes lewis best blocking tight end the 157 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: National Football League taken on Bosa sometimes even one on one. 158 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: Robert Tounyan had that chip block that made all the 159 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: raves on social media on Monday, where he was able 160 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: to get the pancake of Bosa down. That young offensive 161 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: line gives up one sack in this game and Rogers 162 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: gets the ball out quickly. It was your Quintus essential 163 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: team victory in the way they went about this thing 164 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: and the fact that they were able to establish the 165 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: momentum that they had despite the fact they were without 166 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: their top two offensive line. Yeah. Absolutely. You look at 167 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: and I mentioned this in a couple of different places 168 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: on our website. You look at that starting offensive line 169 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,239 Speaker 1: on Sunday night, the two rookies at center and right guard. 170 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: You had John Running at left guard as you just mentioned, Josh, 171 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: and I'man at left tackle. Those four guys, four fifths 172 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: of your offensive line collectively had five NFL starts to 173 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: their name heading into that game on Sunday night. Now 174 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: they have nine. They almost doubled it. They went from 175 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: five to nine. They all they all added another start, 176 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: but obviously nine, and it was his first for Running, 177 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: it was his second. For the two rookies that was 178 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: their third, having you know, with this being Week three 179 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: and then being starters in the opener this year. That 180 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: was pretty remarkable to me how that group held up 181 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: throughout the course of four quarters the way that it did. 182 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: But you also mentioned the game plan. Now I'm not 183 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: saying obviously that we haven't seen the Kers do this, 184 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: but the vast majority of the time on third down 185 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: it was shotgun, empty backfield, spread them out. And you 186 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: may say, well, aren't you leaving you know, isn't that 187 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: leaving the offensive line vulnerable? No, that was a That 188 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: was a plan on third down to get the ball 189 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: out of Rogers hands. He was gonna have as many 190 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: targets as possible. He was going to scan the field 191 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: before the snap, and he was gonna know where he 192 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: was going to not leave him vulnerable to that third 193 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: down pass rush of a Nick Bosa or an Eric 194 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: Armstead or a d Ford or a blitzing Fred Warner, 195 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: whatever the case might be. That was the plan. I 196 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: I can probably count on three fingers or less the 197 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: number of times on third down that the Packers did 198 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: not empty the backfield and go shotgun. The plan was 199 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: clear about getting the ball out of Rogers hands in 200 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: those potential pass rush situations, and for the most part, 201 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: the way the Packers were moving the ball, it was 202 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: it was hard to argue with the results. Yeah, and 203 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: and exactly and being able also early on, you know, 204 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: I felt like getting off to a fast start. We'll 205 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: talk about the defense here momentarily, but to get off 206 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: to the fast start that they did getting out of 207 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: the gate. Rogers talked about it afterwards. He's been so 208 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: reiterating how much he wanted them to get off, you know, 209 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: the energy, to come out the right way. They did 210 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: that in this game. And you know they haven't broken 211 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: a seventy yard run yet this season, but a j. 212 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: Dillon and Aaron Jones combining carries for a hundred yards 213 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: just really clean, consistent production and being able to do 214 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: it against that front. I think that allowed those offensive 215 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: linemen to get comfortable. I thought you really saw Josh 216 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: Meyers athleticism in this game and his ability to get 217 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: to the second level. I think, as I've continued to 218 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: say on this broadcast, Billy Turner is one of the 219 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: most underrated players on this team. And the fact is 220 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: he's been a really stable presence at right tackle since 221 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: they put him their last season. Yeah, we sure didn't 222 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: hear much from de Ford on Sunday night, and that 223 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: was that was Turner's assignment. And yes there were some 224 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: chips on on that side as well, but obviously the 225 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: chipping was mostly focused at left tackle with Nieman and 226 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: and Uh and Turner. Turner was a country not heard 227 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: from and that worked out perfectly. And that's exactly what 228 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: you're looking for. When you decide we're going to take 229 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: this one spot that's vacant, and we're gonna put a 230 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: young player in there that's never started an NFL game. 231 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: You don't want to have to worry about the right 232 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: side there. And I thought Turner held up his end 233 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: of the bargain. But I'll just close on this. In 234 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: regards of the offense, for Davante Adams, with all the 235 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: attention he's received to have twenty five catches, the most 236 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: catches and franchise history through the first three games of 237 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: the season, to have three receiving yards already, have you know, 238 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: come back from a nasty, nasty, vicious hit from Jimmy 239 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: Ward that should have been a helmet to helmet to 240 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: do all that and get back on the field and 241 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: clumb up with two huge catches for forty two yards 242 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: in the clutch. Davante Adams, as we continue to see Mike, 243 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: it's so fun when you can watch a guy ascend 244 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,599 Speaker 1: to a certain level, but watching him now sustain and 245 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: elevate from that level and all pro level has been 246 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: a really treat. Has there been a really big treat? Yeah, 247 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: no question about it, Absolutely no question about it. Some 248 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: shoutouts to our sponsors.

Yeah, 257 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: Stephen is Yeah, he's becoming a big Cousin Subs TWEE 258 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: did me a nice little photo, because maybe that's what 259 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: the things should be. Like, Hey, if you tweet your 260 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 1: your cousin's food at me, I'll give you a show 261 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: dout on in script it don't give any any ideas well. 262 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: On the defensive side of the ball in this game 263 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: for the Packers, it was it was a strong start 264 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: an incredibly athletic interception by j R. Alexander on the 265 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: deep ball to George Kittle. Unfortunately, the Packers did not 266 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: turn that turnover in into points and really west. The 267 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: unfortunate thing with the way the defense was playing was 268 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: that that long kickoff return was allowed right before halftime 269 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: because then the forty Niners only had about thirty yards 270 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: to go. They were able to get in the end zone. 271 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: UM and still probably shouldn't have if because I think 272 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: I agree with Matt Lafleur. I think it was intentional 273 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: grounding on Jimmy Garoppolo. I think he was going to 274 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: throw an interception in the end zone if he actually 275 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: tried to throw it, and so he spiked the ball 276 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: into the ground. That aside, the Packers were on their 277 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: way to a first half shutout, which would have actually 278 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: been a four quarter shutout. Going back to the second 279 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: half of the Monday night game against the Lions, and uh, 280 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: and you know, this is a defense that obviously knows 281 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: the Darius Smith lost Chris Barnes to a concussion in 282 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: the game along the way Kevin King they find out 283 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: he's ill, and and uh is out for the game. 284 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: UM on game day, and uh and I thought the defense. 285 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: I know the final drive was frustrating to a lot 286 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: of fans. I get it, but that's also the way 287 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: this the way this thing can work in the NFL. 288 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: I thought this Packer defense two, in my eyes, took 289 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: a big step forward from where it was the first 290 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: two weeks of the season. It did, and especially from 291 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: the standpoint of it needed to start fast. I think 292 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: that was the thing I talked about. They needed to 293 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: set the temple. They need to stop the run. In 294 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: San Francisco, a team that ran all over him two 295 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: years ago could not run the football against him in 296 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: this game that frankly kind of gave up on it, 297 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: even though they weren't. They weren't. They were never out 298 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: of the Packers were leading the whole time, but they 299 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: were never It was never a completely abandoned the run 300 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: situation for an offense, yet San Francisco just never wanted 301 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: to commit to it at all. So you look at 302 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: the scoreboard, then I understand that that's the ultimate indicator 303 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: of where things are at. But that's the reason why 304 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: Green Bay was able to start pinning its ears back. 305 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: Gets four sacks in this game after really struggling to 306 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: get pressure the first few weeks. I thought Preston Smith 307 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: had his best game of the season, looked like a 308 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: stud throughout a lot of pressure uh, Kenny Clark was 309 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: a man possessed and made one of the biggest players 310 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: in the game by forcing what ended up being I mean, 311 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: the game turn really into trying to judge what Jimmy 312 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: Garoppolo's passes were doing, you know, And it was funny 313 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: to hear Garoppolo talk after the game about, yeah, you 314 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: know that was kind of on the refs with my 315 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: pass at the fumble unless and maybe someone can't explain 316 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: it to me, but I grew up underneath the understanding 317 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: that if it's a pass that goes backwards, no matter 318 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: which if it goes in directly or if it goes 319 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: it's it's a fumble. Yeah. The only time it's not 320 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: is if if if it comes out of his hand 321 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: forward and the defense bats it backwards, then it's a 322 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: forward pass to quite frankly, was I think Garoppolo on 323 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: the play that he fumbled in the fourth quarter, I 324 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: think he was trying to do the same thing that 325 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: he did at the end of the first half. He 326 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: was trying to basically just spike the ball and get 327 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: rid of it to avoid the sec Well, that time 328 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: it cost him because his shoulder got turned, the ball 329 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: went backwards and it was alive and Deveandre Campbell recovered 330 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: it for Green Bay. It was funny too when you 331 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: mentioned the intentional grounding, and I don't disagree. I even 332 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: tweeted during the game, this, that's intentional grounding. But of all, 333 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: out of all the in my own eye botched calls 334 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: throughout that game, that was the one I at least 335 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: under stood the rationale for it because the referee said, well, 336 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: he was trying to throw it to Kittle. Fine, I 337 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: can understand that, but I want to get into the 338 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: call stuff. But between the catch that's a new head, 339 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: Between the defensive past interference on Eric Stokes, between the 340 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: hit on DeVante, there was so much about that game 341 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: that was ob to so that it just it goes 342 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: without saying. But that being said, the Packers defensively, the 343 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: reason they won this game is because of how they 344 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: played in the first half and how they were able 345 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: to keep San Francisco off the board allow themselves to 346 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: get off to a fast start. Yes, there was production late, Yes, 347 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: there were some injuries there. They lose Chris Barnes, they 348 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: had to adjust to that. But all that being said, 349 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: you know, I was really impressed by how this defense 350 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: has really picked itself up after a rough first six quarters. 351 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: No one's debating that, no one's denying that, but been 352 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: able to show more of what it's supposed to look 353 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: like despite the fact they don't have you know, Zadarius 354 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: Smith right now. So I thought that was a major 355 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: step forward. Yeah, absolutely, and quite frankly, the final drive, Yes, 356 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: the defense needs to rise up and get a stop 357 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: there with the score one. Unfortunately, it was a mistake 358 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: by the third safety and the dime Henry Black that 359 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: led to the ruptured play with with George Kittle thirty 360 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: nine yards on that play, Well, that's more than half 361 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 1: of the seventy five yards they they they had to defend. 362 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: And that's that's the one thing you can't do in 363 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: those late game you know, whether it's four minute, two 364 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: minute situations, is you can't give up those huge chunks 365 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: of yard as you have to give yourself the opportunities 366 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: down the field at the thirty five, at the forty five, 367 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: at the at the minus forty five, at the minus 368 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: forty to potentially get those stops and keep the other 369 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: team out of scoring range. The thirty nine yard played 370 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: a Kittle Suddenly the forty Niners went from needing seventy 371 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: five yards to get a touchdown to being in complete 372 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: command with plenty of time on the clock and everything 373 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: that they that they wanted to do. So that that's 374 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: that's the one thing. And the Packers the way that 375 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: the way the last game and a half had been going, 376 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: they were not giving up explore some plays. They just 377 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: gave one up at a bad time. Yeah, totally. And 378 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: and that's also the rich thing. It's kind of what 379 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: I find quizzical with his fans will always say, well, 380 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: why do they do this in two minutes? Well, sometimes 381 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: the way they play there too minute defenses because they 382 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: don't want to give up the big ruptured play that 383 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: not only allows a lot of production but doesn't drain 384 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: any time off the clock. That's that's ultimately the game 385 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: you're sort of playing there a little bit, but you know, overall, 386 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: you know, for to have as many moving pieces as 387 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: they've had, you know, jyr Alexander, as you said, as 388 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: incredible of an interception as you're gonna find a guy 389 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: going from the boundary position coming are there is absolutely 390 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: no way Jimmy Garoppolo thought that pass would be in 391 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: danger of getting picked off. He threw that deep down 392 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: the middle to Kittle, thinking either my great tight end 393 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: is gonna is gonna make this play or it's just 394 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: going to be an incomplete deep ball, and Alexander comes 395 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: swooping over and get that such an and yard return 396 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: out of it to Boot. So yeah, just a tremendous 397 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: play by jar. The point being with that is Alexander's interception, 398 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: the four sacks, the act that Devondra Campbell got yet 399 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: another takeaway this week, which was a fantastic development from 400 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: the inside backer position. The Packers are making plays defensively, 401 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: and that was the main thing in that first game 402 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: against New Orleans. They just couldn't generate positive plays for themselves. 403 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: And I just feel like, yes, there's gonna be times 404 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: where defenses or offenses get yardage, but the way you 405 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: can always neutralize that is by making plays defensively. And 406 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: I think you're seeing the studs, the athleticism in this 407 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: secondary and especially up front starting to reveal itself a 408 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: little bit. So I'm excited to see where they go 409 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: this week now going up against you know, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah, 410 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: for sure. Well, last thing before we go, We'll just 411 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: take a look at where things stand in the NFC 412 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: North after three games, the Packers are all lone in 413 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: first place at two and one. The Chicago Bears in 414 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings both one and two, having gotten there in 415 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: very different fashions. The Bears now they don't know who 416 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: their quarterback is going to be because of the injury situation. 417 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: They might end up going to Nick Foles. Here in 418 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: Week four, the Viking get a big win over the 419 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, and as we talked about with the Vikings 420 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: first two games, they were so close to winning both 421 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: of those. The Minnesota Vikings are like, you know, fractions 422 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: of inches from being a three and o team. Here, 423 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: um they are one and two with with with an 424 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: impressive win in the books, and the Detroit Lions oh 425 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: and three losing, losing in a way that just has 426 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: to be tremendous gut punch to to Dan Campbell in 427 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: trying to get his first win as an NFL head coach, 428 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: allowing the fourth and nineteen, the miss delayed game, the 429 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: sixty six yard record field goal that bounces off the crossbar, 430 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: Detroit oh and three, But but but an oh and three, 431 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: that's been a pretty darn competitive one. Yeah, and that's 432 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,479 Speaker 1: the thing Mike, with those a f C, you know, 433 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: crossover games, those are the times you have to see 434 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: the FC come through for you. So through the Packers. Yeah, 435 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: it sucks watching Detroit, which I think they're doing things 436 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: the right way. I think Dan Campbell is the right 437 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: voice for them right now. But you know, the Packers 438 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: have to be happy to see them come up with 439 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: an l they're It was incredible watching it developed. I 440 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: was watching the actual play as in real time and 441 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: my boss Duke Bober, who had the video the game 442 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: whatever you call that game station whatever ESPN has where 443 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: it has like the stat box score thing going on, 444 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: but they have the percentages on there for what the 445 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: outcome is, you know, the win probability. And to see 446 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: it go from Detroit Lions to Baltimore Ravens in just 447 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: a quick like real time refresh was jarring. And then 448 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: to hit that field go. I wrote this an inbox Mike. 449 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: Pound for pound. I'll debate people if they want to 450 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: talk about it, but Justin Tucker is the greatest pound 451 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: for pound kicker that I think we've ever seen this 452 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: league in terms of the pedigree coming into the league. 453 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: His power, his accuracy, and the fact that he does 454 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: come up in those clutch moments. The Baltimore Ravens know 455 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: what they have in Tuckers, the reason he is the 456 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: highest paid kicker in the league. But for him to 457 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: come in there sixty six yards that think shouldn't had 458 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: been close to the crossbar, let alone hitting it and 459 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: bouncing over, and to see that Detroit fans behind it 460 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: just in disbelief. It was kind of sounds amazing. I 461 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: think I think you were doing I think you were 462 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: doing pregame radio at the time. I was. I was 463 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 1: watching in the little conference room where where we watched 464 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: the um the game against San Francisco Sunday night. I 465 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: was watching the NBC pregame show, and when they showed 466 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: that highlight of Tucker's long kick, Drew Brees pointed out, 467 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: zeroing in on Tucker, how he actually did like a 468 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: little crow hop, like a like a baseball outfielder, does 469 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, and trying to throw out a guy at 470 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: home plate kind of thing. He did a little crow 471 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: hop with his footwork to get that much more into 472 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: that kick. And the fact that a guy can that, 473 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 1: a guy can do that, and the thing is dead 474 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: on accurate. I mean he hit the he hit the 475 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: crossbar at sixty six yards, but right in the middle 476 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: of the crossbar. I mean he was straight down the 477 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: middle with that kick, even adjusting his footwork and everything 478 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: to try to get a little bit more energy into it. 479 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: It looked like the guy is is what it looks Yeah, 480 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: the guy is. The guy is a phenomenal kicker. Had 481 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: the sixty one yard or in that same stadium, Ford Field, 482 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 1: to help out the Packers in when the Lions were 483 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: looking like they were going to win the NFC North 484 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: that year. And now he hits a sixty six yard 485 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: or at Ford Field. Just unbelievable. Yeah, pretty special moment. 486 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: But yeah, for the Green Bay Packers too. And one, 487 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: it's a good place to be right now in a 488 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: division where there's a there's a lot of teams working 489 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: through some early early season adversity right now. Yeah.
