Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford. He is my trusted colleague west Hodkuits.
Speaker 1: We're coming to you here from our studios at lambeau
Speaker 1: Field West. It's almost your Packers Dolphins Sunday afternoon pm
Speaker 1: Central Time kick off and our last show of the week,
Speaker 1: and that always means keys to victory for the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. Where do you want to start with this one?
Speaker 1: I think it goes back to the takeaways and turn
Speaker 1: over margin. I know that comes up it seems like
Speaker 1: every week, and I know every week it seems like
Speaker 1: I say, well, this is the week it really matters.
Speaker 1: But I think if you look at the statistics and
Speaker 1: the statuets this week, it really shows how paramount it
Speaker 1: is the fact that the Dolphins biggest like victory this
Speaker 1: year for them has been their ability to take away
Speaker 1: the football. The fifteen interceptions. If you get beyond that,
Speaker 1: it's been kind of tough for them. They've had a
Speaker 1: hard time moving the ball consistently, whether it has been
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill or Brock Oswiler quarterback. Defensively, as you pointed
Speaker 1: out on our Final Thoughts video, They've given up yards
Speaker 1: there too, specifically against the runs. So they're big play production.
Speaker 1: Their ability to be five and four at this point
Speaker 1: of the year has been able to being able to
Speaker 1: take away the football. Packers have to make sure that
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. Yeah, they the statistic Dolphins have fifteen interceptions.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is only thrown one. We looked it up
Speaker 1: earlier today. It was against Buffalo, which was that Week four. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Buffalo against Week four was Rogers only interception this season.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I've kind of had the feeling all week
Speaker 1: that if Rogers continues to not throw the ball into
Speaker 1: Harm's way, which he's done a great job this year,
Speaker 1: and it's not as though teams have had a bunch
Speaker 1: of opportunities to intercept the ball on Aaron Rodgers. I
Speaker 1: like the Packers chances here because the Dolphins defense, you know,
Speaker 1: they rank really in the you know, the bottom third
Speaker 1: of the league essentially and in yardage, and you know,
Speaker 1: they they've had they've had some ups and downs in
Speaker 1: terms of points allowed. But quite frankly, was you know
Speaker 1: they would have lost, they would have been hung with
Speaker 1: a really bad loss against the New York Jets last
Speaker 1: week if not for a pick six um from their
Speaker 1: defense to pull out a thirteen to six victory. So
Speaker 1: I agree with you. It's not as though we're sitting
Speaker 1: here saying the Packers need to win the turnover battle
Speaker 1: three to nothing or something like that in order to
Speaker 1: win this game. But you can't let this Dolphins defense
Speaker 1: continue to feed on the turnover thing that has sort
Speaker 1: of been their spark to get to this point where
Speaker 1: they're five and four, even though they're playing with a
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. Yeah, and and that's really I think one
Speaker 1: of the things that they've been able to use to
Speaker 1: to get through that time is that if brock Oswather
Speaker 1: has done anything really well and these whatever this has
Speaker 1: been now four or five starts he's made, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: the fact that he has part at the football relatively
Speaker 1: well compared to you know what happened in Houston where
Speaker 1: he ultimately lost his job for that reason, and then
Speaker 1: you know that these short intervals of time he had
Speaker 1: with Cleveland and Denver. So I think this is gonna
Speaker 1: be really interesting also seen exactly what form, uh this
Speaker 1: secondary takes for the Dolphins. I mean, they said coming
Speaker 1: out of Miami this week Adam Gaze said, everything's resolve
Speaker 1: with Rashad Jones. Where they're gonna go with that. Are
Speaker 1: they're still gonna be trying to rotate through with Minca
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick or how they're gonna handle all those safeties, because
Speaker 1: it sounded like, and again as a non expert, I'm
Speaker 1: not a beat writer for them, it sounded like that
Speaker 1: was sort of the crux of this whole thing is
Speaker 1: they were trying to rotate guys and maybe Rashad Jones
Speaker 1: wasn't happy with that, whatever, But when he's on the field,
Speaker 1: he's a really dynamic football player, and I think he
Speaker 1: has two or three of those picks on the season,
Speaker 1: and as I mentioned earlier this week, a guy like
Speaker 1: Kiko Alonso has three picks. I mean, they have a
Speaker 1: lot of guys and a lot of different body types
Speaker 1: that can make plays on the football and you have
Speaker 1: to be aware of that. Yeah, I think looking at
Speaker 1: this game from another perspective, I really think this game
Speaker 1: could come down to the running backs. You have Frank
Speaker 1: Gore on the Dolphins side with a partner in Kenyan Drake,
Speaker 1: and then the Packers obviously have Aaron Jones and Jamal
Speaker 1: Williams and looking at what I would consider the number
Speaker 1: one guys for each team. Frank Gore, I think, has
Speaker 1: really been kind of the backbone of this Miami offense
Speaker 1: since brock Oswiler particularly had to take over as the
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. And you know, I wrote a piece on
Speaker 1: it for our website this week. You know, Frank Gore's career,
Speaker 1: to me is is really really impressive and you can't
Speaker 1: have anything but the utmost respect for what he's done
Speaker 1: over fourteen years. He ranks fourth all time in the
Speaker 1: NFL in rushing yards. He's going to end up in
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame someday. He's had seven career games
Speaker 1: against the Green Bay Packers West if you include regular
Speaker 1: season and postseason, most of them with the forty nine
Speaker 1: is the one game two years ago with the Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 1: Frank or has seven rushing touchdowns and three yard games. Again,
Speaker 1: it's the Green Bay Packers over the years. With what
Speaker 1: he means to this Dolphins offense. Right now, the Packers
Speaker 1: can't really let him get going and do his thing,
Speaker 1: so to speak. I think you have to you have
Speaker 1: to make brock Osweiler be the guy that beats you there.
Speaker 1: You can't let them run the football and keep Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers off the field. Yeah. And you know who's a
Speaker 1: really good advocate for that, the Chicago Bears giving up
Speaker 1: a hundred yards. I mean, Frankore average six points, so
Speaker 1: he looked like he was twenty four year old franc
Speaker 1: Or in that football game. I mean, just and Drake
Speaker 1: had a pretty good game for for them against Chicago
Speaker 1: as well. He did. And then it was actually I
Speaker 1: think it was was a Gore that picked them up
Speaker 1: at the end there when Drake had the fumble, whatever
Speaker 1: the case may be. Here's the other side of this though, too.
Speaker 1: Frank Gore is thirty five. He has a fourteen year veteran.
Speaker 1: The last three games, he's not had a catch over
Speaker 1: nine yards or excuse me to carry over nine yards,
Speaker 1: averaging right in that three mid three range, little lower threes.
Speaker 1: The Packers need to make sure that that trend continues.
Speaker 1: I think we saw in that game two years ago
Speaker 1: against Indianapolis Colts, and I know the Packers were obviously
Speaker 1: ready for him, They've seen him number of times, but
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, I kind of counted Frank
Speaker 1: Gore out a little bit going into that matchup. I
Speaker 1: just wasn't sure a guy that thirty five years old,
Speaker 1: thirty three years old at that time, how effective he
Speaker 1: can be. And Frank Gore still showed in those first
Speaker 1: five yards how difficult he is to take down. When
Speaker 1: he gets a lane, he gets a block, how he
Speaker 1: executes on it. Now he doesn't have the game changing
Speaker 1: power anymore. If he gets to the second level, chances
Speaker 1: are he's not getting the third. But the fact of
Speaker 1: the matter is when you get back to this offense
Speaker 1: without Ryan Tannehill, it's been predicated on moving the ball
Speaker 1: consistently and then also having a potential home run threat
Speaker 1: there with Drake. This type of game, if it ends
Speaker 1: up being in the mid thirties, could be the kind
Speaker 1: of game that they want to get franc Or out there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And with regard to the flip side with the Packers
Speaker 1: and Aaron Jones, this Miami defense, as we said, kind
Speaker 1: of predicated on the interceptions there twenty eight in the
Speaker 1: league against the run West. I mean this game and
Speaker 1: we're talking about potentially cold weather, mid thirties temperatures. It's
Speaker 1: snowing outside right now is we're taping this episode. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if there will be snow on the ground
Speaker 1: comes Sunday afternoon. But Packers really need to be able
Speaker 1: to run the football in this game. I think they
Speaker 1: should be able to run the football against this Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense. And and let's face it, Aaron Jones, he
Speaker 1: had the first fumble of his career, his brief NFL
Speaker 1: career last week. It came at a critical time unfortunately,
Speaker 1: really was the turning point in the loss at New England.
Speaker 1: I know he's put it in the right perspective. But
Speaker 1: if there's anybody on this Packers offense who's coming into
Speaker 1: Sunday's game with maybe a little bit of a little
Speaker 1: bit of anger, a little bit of edge to his game,
Speaker 1: you know, it's Aaron Jones. You know he wants a
Speaker 1: little bit of redemption for what happened on that first
Speaker 1: play of the fourth quarter last week. Yeah, Mike, and
Speaker 1: last week you asked me kind of put me on
Speaker 1: the spot a little bit. It came up an inbox
Speaker 1: as well. Could that be the week where Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: has a hundred yards? I said I didn't think so,
Speaker 1: but I also said I thought he'd be really important
Speaker 1: to that game. I think that he was. He absolutely
Speaker 1: was This is the kind of game though, where I
Speaker 1: think and if he doesn't have a hundred yards, I
Speaker 1: could still see him in Jamal Williams having a lot
Speaker 1: of production. I just think that that threat is there,
Speaker 1: and it's very real when you look at how they
Speaker 1: match up with the Dolphins and potentially as well Mike.
Speaker 1: You know, you go back to some of the more
Speaker 1: difficult stretches the Packers have gone through with their offense
Speaker 1: and trying to find efficiency. Home base a lot of times,
Speaker 1: while this is a structured pass offense, you know, on
Speaker 1: West Coast principles, home base a lot of times has
Speaker 1: been the run game. It's been the reset button. I
Speaker 1: think it could be like that in this game. I
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about the fumble last week. Aaron
Speaker 1: Jones said the same exact thing in his locker that
Speaker 1: he tweeted that he said to his coaches, he was
Speaker 1: accountable for it, he stepped up to it, he wants
Speaker 1: to be better from it. And I think one of
Speaker 1: the bigger positives was actually Ben Sermons saying it wasn't
Speaker 1: like it was a careless error that he made, or
Speaker 1: it wasn't some huge fundamental breakdown or something where he
Speaker 1: just he just exposed the football. It was it was
Speaker 1: it was a football play. The ball came out and he's,
Speaker 1: to Sherman's credit, he wasn't being on the complete So
Speaker 1: there's things you still and do with that juncture. But
Speaker 1: it almost takes the perfect punch out that Lawrence Guy
Speaker 1: delivered to be able to turn over the football there.
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones is gonna learn from that. He's going to
Speaker 1: get correct and I think he can still be a
Speaker 1: really important player for them down the stretch. I said
Speaker 1: it on inbox what Tuesday, microor Wednesday, The Packers are
Speaker 1: going to need him. He has to move forward. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he They are going to need him, and I think
Speaker 1: he could be very big in this ball game. Weather
Speaker 1: conditions here, wes what you know if it's mid thirties,
Speaker 1: a little chili. I don't know if there's going to
Speaker 1: be snow or not. But what do you how do
Speaker 1: you think that plays into this game? Really the first
Speaker 1: Chili game, although last Sunday night in New England wasn't
Speaker 1: exactly warm. I mean that was that was kind of
Speaker 1: chili as well. But um, but you are talking about
Speaker 1: a team from South Florida coming up to lambeau Field
Speaker 1: here in November for a game that frankly is going
Speaker 1: to be a little bit colder than you would expect
Speaker 1: for Week ten in the NFL. I actually be honest
Speaker 1: with you, Mike, this might be a controversial answer. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be that big of a deal,
Speaker 1: Okay in the re and I say that it actually
Speaker 1: goes off of something that Clay Matthews said in the
Speaker 1: locker room. Brock Osweiler played in even worse conditions in
Speaker 1: this in Green Bay two years ago when he was
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback for the Houston Texans. Texans lost that game,
Speaker 1: but Osweiler actually played relatively well thirty five for two
Speaker 1: and two and a touchdown. Uh. They just they just
Speaker 1: had some fundamental things that fell through and the Packers
Speaker 1: were able to execute when they needed to. That being
Speaker 1: said Frank Gore. While also a you know, a Dome
Speaker 1: West Coast type back, he's shown he can be in
Speaker 1: those elements and get production. I think the bigger thing
Speaker 1: in this is gonna be not necessarily how the Dolphins
Speaker 1: react to the elements. It's gonna be more who's protecting
Speaker 1: the football and are you exposing it? Due to the elements. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, your hands start getting a little colder, the
Speaker 1: ball starts getting a little harder. You know, your fundamentals
Speaker 1: are challenged a little bit in that just from the
Speaker 1: the air temperature alone. So I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: really important for the Packers specific fickally to be able
Speaker 1: to what if there is an advantage there to be gained,
Speaker 1: whether it's practicing outdoors, whatever it is, to make sure
Speaker 1: you take advantage of that. Because the Packers are three
Speaker 1: oh and one right now at home, this is an
Speaker 1: opportunity to be able to get some momentum back against
Speaker 1: a team that doesn't normally play in these conditions. I
Speaker 1: just don't know if it's ultimately gonna be something that
Speaker 1: turns the tie to the game. Yeah. I think another
Speaker 1: thing we need to certainly touch on before the end
Speaker 1: of the week here is special teams for this matchup
Speaker 1: with the Dolphins. I I know I harped on at
Speaker 1: last week heading into the game against the Patriots, and
Speaker 1: we saw it. The game started with Cordorrell Patterson running
Speaker 1: a kickoff back to the thirty six yard line, A
Speaker 1: five yard offside penalty on the Packers tacked on and
Speaker 1: Tom Brady gets to start the game from the forty
Speaker 1: one yard line, you might as well kick the ball
Speaker 1: out of bounds, right, I mean, if you're gonna give
Speaker 1: it to him there, he only has to go fifty
Speaker 1: nine yards for the opening touchdown and the Patriots are
Speaker 1: up seven nothing. Then we see later in the game
Speaker 1: the roughing the kicker are roughing, the punter call fifteen
Speaker 1: yards automatic first down. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: that cost the pack There's twenty four yards of field
Speaker 1: position because they would have had the ball in the
Speaker 1: thirty one Instead, when the defense got another stop, they
Speaker 1: ended up with the ball in the seven yard line. Um.
Speaker 1: So those those types of things continue to to hurt
Speaker 1: the Packers on special teams, and they are facing a
Speaker 1: guy in this game. West Jachim By saying that right Grant,
Speaker 1: he has a return for a touchdown both off a
Speaker 1: punt and a kickoff this season. This is a guy
Speaker 1: who can impact the game and the Packers have to
Speaker 1: make sure he doesn't. Yeah, and here's the two other
Speaker 1: notes about that. The kickoff return out of his own
Speaker 1: end zone for a hundred and two yards. The punt
Speaker 1: return wasn't like this was some kind of thing where
Speaker 1: the guy was going out of his own end z
Speaker 1: on a punt seventy one yards back to the house.
Speaker 1: So ron Zook said it when he was meeting with
Speaker 1: the media on Thursday. Uh, this is a guy that
Speaker 1: you have to stay on the entire game because he
Speaker 1: has game breaking qualities in a time in which there
Speaker 1: aren't a lot of guys in those capacities with game
Speaker 1: breaking qualities. We know how kickoff returns to some extent
Speaker 1: have been neutralized, so to have a guy that can
Speaker 1: turn the tide, I think again, getting back to the
Speaker 1: original reason why the Dolphins are five and four going
Speaker 1: into this game, They've done really well in situational football,
Speaker 1: whether it is the takeaways or whether it is the
Speaker 1: returns or being able just to move the chains. There
Speaker 1: isn't an aspect of their team where you go, man,
Speaker 1: this is this is we gotta shut this down and
Speaker 1: we're gonna be fine. No, there's a lot of things
Speaker 1: that you have to stay up on tune about. Grant
Speaker 1: had a tremendous career. I believe it was Texas Tech. Yeah,
Speaker 1: six round pick two years ago. A diminutive type receiver
Speaker 1: five ft seven that's basically a big guy but boy,
Speaker 1: he can run. It's basically was Hod quiz but uh no,
Speaker 1: but I mean he just he has a lot of
Speaker 1: physical gifts and and it's worked out here the last
Speaker 1: couple of seasons for the Dolphins and maybe this is
Speaker 1: the area west as we've been trying to decide, you know,
Speaker 1: is the weather going to have an impact on this?
Speaker 1: Definitely the kickoffs, it could be harder to get touchbacks,
Speaker 1: and the temperatures in the mid thirties, you don't know
Speaker 1: how it's going to affect the punting game and a
Speaker 1: return a return man like this going against you, as
Speaker 1: as Tremont Williams likes to say, you gotta be on
Speaker 1: your peas and huge. Yeah, maybe they should have kept
Speaker 1: around Drew Kayser this week, right, that was the whole
Speaker 1: thing last week, And well maybe he's in there for
Speaker 1: kickoffs to avoid patters. There were so many strange story
Speaker 1: There were a lot of There are a lot of
Speaker 1: theories as to as to what was going on there
Speaker 1: with actual that ended quickly, but to original point, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is I think a big game for
Speaker 1: Mason Crosby. Uh and and then runs book and deciding Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, Crosby has kicked in these conditions. He knows
Speaker 1: what he needs to do. But I think it's probably
Speaker 1: gonna be more about the strategy that goes behind. You know,
Speaker 1: where you're trying to place the ball, what you're trying
Speaker 1: to do with it, Because I don't know, Mike, at
Speaker 1: thirty four thirty five degree weather, how much you can
Speaker 1: just count on being able to kick it out of
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone every time. And even
Speaker 1: if you do, this is the kind of guy like
Speaker 1: Patterson who might still test you. Well. You'd like to
Speaker 1: see at some point here the Packers really start to
Speaker 1: give their offense some better field position. You look at
Speaker 1: these last two games West, not including the possession the
Speaker 1: Packers started at the one yard line after the goal
Speaker 1: line stand, not including that one. The last two weeks,
Speaker 1: the Packers have had four pos sessions starting inside their
Speaker 1: own ten yard line. One of those was the drive
Speaker 1: that ended with the Aaron Jones fumble. That drive was
Speaker 1: actually about sixty yards that they drove. But when you're
Speaker 1: starting on your own seven, yeah, the fumble happens at
Speaker 1: the yard line and uh, and you don't get any
Speaker 1: points out. I'm glad you brought that up, because that's
Speaker 1: the old Dom Caper's theory. They're about, you know, if
Speaker 1: you don't give up the big plays and you don't
Speaker 1: have big penalties against you, when you force an offense
Speaker 1: to go the full length of the field, there's going
Speaker 1: to be more opportunities there to be able to get
Speaker 1: that takeaway in the Patriots case turned out to be
Speaker 1: a very critical one in that game. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: well before we go here, West, let's take a quick
Speaker 1: look at what's going on around the NFL this week.
Speaker 1: And the Minnesota Vikings are on there by, so they
Speaker 1: will sit uh where they are, which is five three
Speaker 1: and one if I have that correct. Um. The other
Speaker 1: game in the NFC North the Bears against the Lions.
Speaker 1: It is in Chicago. Here's an interesting thing, West, Sun
Speaker 1: is November eleven, correct, correct. Thanksgiving is November twenty two,
Speaker 1: So that's a total of twelve days. The Lions and
Speaker 1: the Bears are playing each other twice in a span
Speaker 1: of twelve days because they're playing this Sunday in Chicago
Speaker 1: and then on Thanksgiving in Detroit, and the Bears have
Speaker 1: a Sunday night football game against the Minnesota Vikings in between.
Speaker 1: You talk about the you know, a key stretch of
Speaker 1: your season for Chicago. They're five and three, They're right there.
Speaker 1: They've got three consecutive division games here in a span
Speaker 1: of twelve days, two of them against the same team.
Speaker 1: This is this is going to be big for Chicago
Speaker 1: to announce whether they're really in this thing or whether
Speaker 1: they're still kind of on the fringes. Yeah, and if
Speaker 1: I know Adam Gaze, the whole theory down there. At
Speaker 1: least what they've been saying is that they won't say
Speaker 1: the P word right there. They're not talking about playoffs.
Speaker 1: But you get two wins over Detroit, now you're starting
Speaker 1: to put yourself in the conversation. You get a win
Speaker 1: over Minnesota add into that, well, then you've announced yourself
Speaker 1: to the party. So uh, this is a critical stretch
Speaker 1: for them, a critical stretch for the entire NFC North,
Speaker 1: just seeing how this is all going to shuffle out.
Speaker 1: The Packers having to go down to US Bank Stadium,
Speaker 1: uh in preparation, but then for that matchup at Soldier
Speaker 1: Field next month. So uh, it is a little bit
Speaker 1: different schedule in terms of how the division has worked
Speaker 1: out this year, but certainly from the Bears perspective. You've
Speaker 1: got to get this one. And if you're Manatrician the Lions,
Speaker 1: you're trying to keep yourselves in and there will be
Speaker 1: no better way to do it than to knock off,
Speaker 1: you know, the Bears right from the top. Yeah, an
Speaker 1: interesting cross conference game. There have been a lot of
Speaker 1: them this year, and we saw actually one of them
Speaker 1: on Thursday night with Carolina against Pittsburgh, which started out
Speaker 1: with a flurry of touchdowns and Pittsburgh kind of never
Speaker 1: stopped scoring. They're rolling up fifty two. I believe I
Speaker 1: heard that was the most points they've ever scored at
Speaker 1: hines Field since they opened, since they opened, that's correct,
Speaker 1: which also would probably make the most points that they've
Speaker 1: scored at Hinesfield, like through three and a half quarters.
Speaker 1: My god, I mean I watched basically that entire game
Speaker 1: and it was incredible to see if hey, by the way,
Speaker 1: just to go on a sidetrack, Greg Van Roten is
Speaker 1: a starting guard for the Panthers. Did you know that
Speaker 1: Greg Van Roten, the undrafted for the former Packer two
Speaker 1: thousand twelve is a starting guard for the Panthers. That
Speaker 1: was news to me. Wow, I didn't you can appreciate that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone else I did not know that.
Speaker 1: But the game I wanted to get to though, across
Speaker 1: conference is the Saints coming off of that big win
Speaker 1: last week in New Orleans against the Los Angeles Rams,
Speaker 1: the first team to beat the Rams. The Saints on
Speaker 1: a seven game winning streak now since losing in Week
Speaker 1: one to the Buccaneers. They're looking they're the team that
Speaker 1: has the spotlight on them now with their winning streak,
Speaker 1: with their record, the fact that they beat the Rams.
Speaker 1: They go on the road to play a Cincinnati Bengals
Speaker 1: team that has been a little bit up and down,
Speaker 1: but a Bengals team that fancies itself in the mix.
Speaker 1: Here West at five and the five and three um
Speaker 1: a big opportunity for the Bengals and one of these
Speaker 1: games that you know, can be tricky for the Saints
Speaker 1: when you're coming off of a really, really big home
Speaker 1: win and then you have to go on the road
Speaker 1: to play a team that's not too shabby. You missed
Speaker 1: the biggest storyline in this matchup, Mike. It's Drew Brees
Speaker 1: in that offense against one of the worst defenses we've
Speaker 1: seen in the modern era. Statistically right now, the Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Bengals are giving up yards, so this is gonna be
Speaker 1: really big. You know, the Bengals. One thing that they
Speaker 1: get they are able to play them on their own
Speaker 1: turf here, but they're gonna have to get some big
Speaker 1: stops or at least some takeaways. I mean, I was
Speaker 1: reading one of the things out of Cincinnati believe last week.
Speaker 1: I mean, they are on pace for a record amount
Speaker 1: of yards allowed, which has just never been the way
Speaker 1: of a Marvin Lewis team. So it's gonna be interesting
Speaker 1: to see how they match up now with the Saints
Speaker 1: team that has added Dez Bryant, has both of their
Speaker 1: running backs healthy, and you you know, obviously you look
Speaker 1: at what their receivers are already doing at this point.
Speaker 1: So I'm very interested to pay attention to it. We
Speaker 1: obviously won't be able to watch it, but I just
Speaker 1: think this game, unless they can figure out something in Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: this is a game that has shootout written all over it.
Speaker 1: It could be could be a fun one, and we'll
Speaker 1: see what the web there is like in Ohio with
Speaker 1: what's moving through the Midwest this weekend. Absolutely, this won't
Speaker 1: be in the Dome, so I mean, that definitely adds
Speaker 1: into it. It's just that it's incredible this year. I mean,
Speaker 1: the Bengals are five and three, but they've had to
Speaker 1: get yards and points to be able to stay there. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely, Well,
Speaker 1: we gotta call it a wrap on this edition of
Speaker 1: Packers Unscripted. Be sure to follow all of our coverage
Speaker 1: of the team and of Sunday's game from lambeau Field
Speaker 1: on Packers dot com. On Twitter, He's at west Hot
Speaker 1: I'm at Mike Spofford at Packers for the team account.
Speaker 1: Thanks for tuning in, everybody. We'll see you next time.
