I am Mike Spofford, joined by 3 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: the one and only W. W. Hodkowitz. We're coming to 4 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: you here from our studios at lambeau Field, and certainly 5 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: happy Thanksgiving to all of our viewers and listeners out there. 6 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving to you Weston. Yeah, Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Mike. 7 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: A lot to be thankful for this year. I wish 8 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: circumstances are a little bit different. I wish you and 9 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: I were it was the old days. You and I'm 10 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 1: at a metal you know, table together, no masks, just 11 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: frolicking around. But this is the world we live in. 12 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: I'm happy to be here, happy to be healthy, and 13 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: happy for some Packers football this Sunday against Chicago Bears. Yeah. Well, 14 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: it will be Sunday Night Football primetime audience, the final 15 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: game of the big Thanksgiving weekend of all of the 16 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: football activity around the country lambou Field, seven pm Central 17 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: Time on Sunday night. And as we talked about on 18 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: our last show, There's Almo. You almost can't overstate the 19 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: importance of this game because while the Packers can try 20 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,199 Speaker 1: to take a three game lead in the NFC North 21 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: with five to play. The Bears are looking at trying 22 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: to get within one game with five games to play, 23 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: and the dynamic of this division race is going to 24 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: completely change depending on the result of Sunday night's games. 25 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: So as we get into this here, where does the 26 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: path to victory start for the Green Bay Packers to 27 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: get to eight and three? I mean, honestly, Mike, it's 28 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: probably as simple as just trying to keep the Bears 29 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: off the scoreboard. Uh. This season, the Chicago Bears, it's 30 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: been a grind for them to put up points. And 31 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: during their four game losing straight now I mean ten 32 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: points three against the Saints, seventeen against the Titans, thirteen 33 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: against Minnesota. Now, credit to them, their defense has kept 34 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: them in a lot of these things, but they just 35 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: haven't been able to produce points to come up with 36 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: victories in this season, only one game with more than thirty, 37 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: only two with more than twenty three. So for the 38 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, I really do believe this is it's 39 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: as simple as it can be. It you put up points, 40 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: you score early, you established momentum. No, it's not an 41 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: easy defense to do that against but if you get production, 42 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: it's ultimately going to be something that I don't think 43 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: the Bears, with the way that they're situated right now, 44 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: especially as the temperatures begin to dip here, they're not 45 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: really built for a shootout. Yeah, that's definitely not the 46 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: type of game that the Bears want to get into, 47 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: and certainly it would behoof the Packers to get off 48 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: to a strong start and put that Bears defense, Bears offense, 49 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: excuse me, behind the eight ball, I think defensively for 50 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: the Packers. I think this whole thing starts, and I 51 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: hate to use cliches, but it all starts with stopping 52 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: the run. And I have my reasons for for using 53 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: that cliche. In this particular matchup. The Chicago Bears have 54 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: lost four straight game aimes. They've had a chance to 55 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: catch their breath on their bye week and reassess and 56 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: look at everything and figure out how they're going to 57 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: move forward offensively. Specifically, now, as you and I are 58 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: taping this, we did cheat a little bit, taped it 59 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: a little early, so we don't know at this particular 60 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: moment whether the Bears are going with Mitch Dubiski or 61 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: Nick Foles, or who is going to be the quarterback. 62 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: But I think regardless of who the quarterback is for 63 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: Chicago on Sunday night, the Bears are going to come 64 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: into lambeau Field with a fierce commitment to run the 65 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: football to help out that quarterback. And here's the things. 66 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: This was the statistic I got off of Actually the 67 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears website, they're my counterpart. Their senior writer at 68 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: their website had his Tuesday afternoon chat. So I stalk 69 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: your Wednesday afternoon chat. You guys have a battle. Yeah, 70 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: we're we we bet we battle with our live chats 71 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: day after day. But I I stalked it a little 72 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: bit just to see what what Larry Meyer. Larry is 73 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: a great guy. I talked to him at the Combine, 74 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: you know, on an annual basis, and and see him 75 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: when we are traveling. But he he had a statistic 76 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: that really struck me. West and here it is. The 77 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: first three games of the season, the Chicago Bears averaged 78 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty eight rushing yards per game and 79 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: they were three and oh. Since then, the Bears have 80 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: averaged fifty two rushing yards per game and they are 81 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: two and five now looking at the aggregate totals. That 82 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: means in the first three games, the Bears rushed for 83 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: over four hundred yards, and in their last seven games 84 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: they haven't even hit the four hundred yard mark on 85 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: the ground. I think if the Bears are looking to 86 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: reset and reassess and figure out how to get this 87 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,119 Speaker 1: offense going, it goes back to being committed to running 88 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: the ball. And I don't I don't know if it's 89 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: going to be Cordurell Patterson, if David Montgomery will be healthy, 90 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: if it's going to be the wide receivers taking handoffs, 91 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: whatever the case might be. But I think the Packers 92 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: have to be ready for the Bears to be strongly 93 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: committed to the run and this game, and that's where 94 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: it starts for the Packers. Yeah, and the right now, 95 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: I mean, there's still a whole week to play out here, 96 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: but it does look promising for Montgomery to potential to 97 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: be back for this game. That's sort of the reports 98 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: coming out of Chicago right now. But to get to 99 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: your previous point, that's been the big issue. It's not 100 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: that there's a difference between not having a running game 101 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: and not having a running back, and that's where the 102 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: Bears have been here since basically, well one, they lost 103 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: Cohen right away at the beginning of the season. That 104 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: was a big blow to their offense, and then not 105 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: having Montgomery due to this concussion. As you said, Cordorill 106 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: Patterson is handling a lot of the handoffs now, and 107 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: as fast as he is. It's a different game when 108 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: you're in the backfield and there's all those bodies as 109 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: opposed to when you're in the open field and you 110 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: can create we'll talk about keys to victory here. He's 111 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: certainly among them, but he's just not a natural running back, 112 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: although if you go back, he did hurt the Packers 113 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: a little bit during his time out of the backfield 114 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: in New England. So David Montgomery here, as you and 115 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: I have said for basically the last two and a 116 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: half years, this is the guy that they need to 117 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: lean on. He needs to be the man. They made 118 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: so many decisions, including last year with Mike Davis cutting 119 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: him midseason, to commit to Montgomery. If he's back on 120 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: the field, this game changes a lot because, as you 121 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: pointed out with those statistics, it hasn't even been a 122 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: situation where they can't run the ball. They just haven't 123 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: really even seemed to have it in their d n 124 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: A offensively without him on the field, still a lot 125 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: of weapons to worry about, regardless of who the quarterback is. 126 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: Allen Robinson is one of the most underrated receivers in 127 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: the National Football League. He can hurt you. I think 128 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: Cole Clement has had some big moments this year. He 129 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: can hurt you. But that backfield, if Montgomery's back there, 130 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: that's where my eyes are at for. Find Mike mc 131 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: patton and this Packers defensive line. Yeah, and the Packers 132 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 1: on on the run defense side of things. We've just seen. 133 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: We've seen so much up and down with it. The 134 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: first half against Jacksonville, James Robinson looks like he's running wild. 135 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: Then the second half against Jacksonville, the Packers clamped down. 136 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: Robinson doesn't get a whole lot. Jonathan Taylor doesn't get 137 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: much at all the first half for the Colts this 138 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: past Sunday. Then in the second half, the Colts run 139 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: game gets cranked up and and the Packers are on 140 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: their heels and suddenly can't stop the run again. It's 141 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: it's been this up and down, this up and down thing, 142 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: and you know the Bears. The Bears are looking at 143 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: that film. They they're going they're going to try to 144 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: figure out a way to get this ground game going 145 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: and the and the Packers need to get some some 146 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: measure of steadiness and consistency with their run defense. Because 147 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: whoever the quarterback is for Chicago, I think it's probably 148 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: going to be True Whisky, but we'll just have to 149 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: see for sure. Whoever the quarterback is for Chicago, the 150 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: Packers have to put the game in that person's hands. 151 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: And if it is True Whisky, you have to be 152 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: aware of the scrambling and the running around and whatnot 153 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: more so than anybody else. But that's that's who the Packer. 154 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: The Packers have to turn the Bears offense over to 155 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback and not let that running game control the tempo. 156 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: You know, we always talked about in the past, you know, 157 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: Aaron not Aaron Rodgers, but Brett Farve, if he would 158 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: have just come a little bit earlier to Green Bay 159 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: and if Sterling shar but it just lasted a little 160 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: bit longer, you know what that could have been like together. 161 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: Matt Nage never was able to cross paths with Matt Forte, 162 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: but my goodness, what a combo that would have been 163 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: when you think about the style of offense that Naggie 164 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: wants to run, and there have been needed to be 165 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: a lot of concessions for to kind of tailored to 166 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: the personnel in Chicago. But that's really the back that's 167 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: been missing from this team since he left five years ago. 168 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: Uh and and just the guy that can be a 169 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: he can be a bell cow, he can run between 170 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: the tackles, he can catch. I think Montgomery has a 171 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: lot of those trades, but he just doesn't seem to 172 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: have that final one where it's like, this is a 173 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: guy that you can just ride playing and play out 174 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: or he's still a young developing player who has had 175 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: some injury issues and hasn't hasn't really established that consistent 176 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: presence yet. He may get there, but he's not there yet. Yeah. 177 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: It's just it's I I because I was incredibly high 178 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: and I remember saying that to you. I'm like, when 179 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: they had to trade all those picks to get klil 180 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: Mac that draft I was I would have been totally 181 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: fine if David Montgomery was my first pick the third 182 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: round that year. But for you know, whatever reasons, injuries, 183 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: offensive structure, it hasn't happened yet, and the Packers have 184 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: to make sure on Sunday that it doesn't happen if 185 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: he is on the field. Yeah, alright, Well, before we 186 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: switch to the offensive side of the ball for green Bay, 187 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: here serious x M NFL radio channel is the only 188 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: radio outlet dedicated to the National Football League seven days 189 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: a week, three hundred sixty five days a year.

All right, on the 194 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball here for Green Bay, this 195 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: is this to me is the is the interesting statistic 196 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: going into it West. We know the Bears defense is good. 197 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: They don't give up a lot of points. Their first 198 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: in the league in third down defense. Packers are fourth 199 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: in the league and third down offense. That's an interesting 200 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: matchup here. But here's the thing. The Chicago Bears are 201 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: four in the league against the run. They're actually giving 202 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: up a hundred and fifth teen rushing yards per game, 203 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 1: which is slightly which about a yard per game more 204 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: than Green Bay. The Packers are actually ranked thirteenth against 205 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: the run for all of their ups and downs in 206 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: in that phase of things. I think the Packers, Matt 207 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: Lafleur in this offense needs to have a certain commitment 208 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: to the run here against the Chicago Bears defense, whether 209 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: it's Aaron Jones or Jamal Williams or whoever you want 210 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: to to to feature more. Packers have got to get 211 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: the ground game back. It's much like the Bears. The 212 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: Packers have to get their ground game back to where 213 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: it was in September in terms of the production for 214 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: this offense to uh to really be at at at 215 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: full steam and full strength for four quarters. And I 216 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: think the Packers will look to do that on Sunday night. Yeah, 217 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: And I think even if you listen to Matt Lafleur 218 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: coming out of that game and even sort of the 219 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: the tone of his voice here the last week or so, 220 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: they want to be more committed to the run. When 221 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: they were really offensively pushing the tempo earlier this season, 222 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: it was because they were running the ball well, specifically 223 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: with Aaron Jones. So the question here is going to 224 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: be finding the tempo right because to some extent, I 225 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: understand why they didn't run the ball more. Against Indianapolis, 226 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: they opened in a five receiver set. It was a 227 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: great call. They got one on one looks for Davante Adams. 228 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: But as we saw going back to the Mike McCarthy era, 229 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: that's a great aggressive mindset to have. But if that's 230 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 1: an incompletion, you're looking at second and ten, and then 231 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: you're looking at third and long. If you aren't able 232 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: to find either another pass or break a run, that's 233 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: where you start to play from behind a little bit. 234 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: I thought one of the things Green they did exceptionally 235 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 1: well during their four game winning streak to start the year, 236 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: was that there was such a good balance. But all 237 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: those past concepts sort of were predicated on what they 238 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: were establishing with the run. They've been up against it. 239 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones has been hurt. Tyler Irvin now is dealing 240 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: with a second injury. He had the risk now he 241 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: has a rib injury. They've had to really make all 242 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: these modifications. But I just go back to that tried 243 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: and true stat Mike. It's not fun. It's not some 244 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: like great PFF for sabor metric thing, But if you 245 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: look at the history here when Aaron Jones touches the 246 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: ball twenty or more times in a game, it turns 247 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: out pretty good for Green Bay and they just haven't 248 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: been able to get in that vicinity as of late. Yeah, 249 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: and I was looking up some numbers and I actually 250 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: uh wrote about that in the Wednesday Insider Inbox edition. 251 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones only had fourteen touches against the Indianapolis Colts. 252 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: So you wonder, like, why aren't the Packers giving them 253 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: ball more? Well, the Packers only ran fifty seven offensive 254 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: plays in the game. The two three and ounce in 255 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: the third quarter and combined with you know, the Colts 256 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: with the long drives and then you have the fumble 257 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: on the kickoffs so you lose a possession. There the 258 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: number of opportunities the package try to run on those 259 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: two three, Yeah, and and they did, they did exactly, 260 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: But overall, the number of opportunities are down. When we've 261 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: seen Aaron Jones getting the twenty plus touches per game, 262 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: the Packers are running, you know, well north of sixty 263 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: offensive plays total, They're up at six sixty eight, you know, 264 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: maybe even seventy plays. I think the first game of 265 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: the season against Minnesota, green Bay ran like seventy five 266 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: offensive plays. I mean, just think the difference between seventy 267 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: five plays in Week one and fifty seven plays last week. 268 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: It's a huge difference over the course of the game. 269 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: So it's it's all of it's all of that. It's 270 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: it's about getting it's about getting the offense, you know, 271 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: in in that consistent move the chain's mode to get 272 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones all those opportunities that you'd like him to get, 273 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: because you do want Aaron Jones to touch the ball 274 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: more than fourteen times in a game. Everybody would admit that, 275 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: you know exactly. And again it's one of these deals 276 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: where you just have to figure out exactly what's working 277 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: for you. I thought last week, even though green Bay 278 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: did come up short, Okay, that's the reintegration of al 279 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: Lazard in the offense. That's having Robert Tonyan and you know, 280 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: your main playmakers. I even made the comment during the 281 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: game that you know, after a game in which against 282 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville that they were swinging in Jowan Winfrey from 283 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: the practice squad. He played a half dozen plays. It 284 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: was more your standard four top four receivers. In this 285 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: game with Lizard Adams mvs. Obviously, and then e q 286 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: st Brown getting the twenty three yards screen. The biggest 287 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: question I have going into the month of December here is, Okay, 288 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: you've you've gotten this far. You've got Aaron Jones healthy, 289 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: Jamal Williams is doing fine. What does this look like? 290 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: What does the Matt Lafleur offense look like as you 291 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: move into the month of December. How much running are 292 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: we going to see? What are the allocations of snaps 293 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: going to look like? We always used to joke about 294 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: I personally, did you know Mike McCarthy had always have 295 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: this list of Okay, well we gotta get Eddie Lacey, 296 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: this mini carries, and James starts, this mini carries, and 297 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: Christian Michael this mini carries. I remember even seeing it 298 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: on the board. It never worked out that way, but 299 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: Mike had what he was aiming for, just seeing what 300 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: the preparation is and how that gets affected throughout the 301 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: course of the game. That I think that starts on Sunday. 302 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: I think you're facing a team that, yes, you said 303 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: they are giving up yards on the run, but I 304 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: think their tenth in the in the league when it 305 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: comes to average yards per carry. They hold up their 306 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: end of the bargain, but they're there to be had. 307 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: I think it's a great test for green Man. I 308 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: think it's something they need to do look at, specifically 309 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: as a running the game to be able to bounce 310 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: back after what some of the things that came upshot 311 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: against Indianapolis. Yeah, and not that we need to belabor 312 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: the belabor the point on third down because third down 313 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: is always important. But as I said, the Bears are 314 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: first in the league and third down defense percentage wise. 315 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: The Packers are fourth in the league and third down 316 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: offense percentage wise. They're going to be some critical, critical 317 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: third downs in this game on Sunday Night that that 318 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: will factor in. I want to just get your thoughts 319 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: on some other games on Sunday, since we get to 320 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: watch the bulk of the Sunday slate before the Packers 321 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: will kick off in the evening. Your thoughts on on 322 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: Carolina going to Minnesota. And I bring this up because 323 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: Carolina is a team the Packers will be playing in December. 324 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: That game has now been slated for Saturday night on 325 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: December nineteenth at lambeau Field. But if you ever if 326 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: you ever want an example of the NFL being a 327 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: week to week league. As we talk about. Two weeks ago, 328 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers gave up forty six points to the 329 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Seven days later, they shut out the 330 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions and one to zero. I don't know if 331 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: I've ever seen that from forty six points allowed to 332 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: zero from week to week. But my point is Carolina, 333 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: you don't really know what you're gonna get. And now 334 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: Minnesota is they're they're hanging by a thread here in 335 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: the NFC North because of that lost to the Dallas Cowboys. 336 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: That's just I gotta I have to comment on this. 337 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: That Panthers Lions game is the most bizarre thing I've 338 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: ever seen. It wasn't that crazy. With all due respect 339 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: to him. P J Walker from the XFL was starting 340 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: for the Panthers a quarterback. They don't have Teddy Bridgewater. 341 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what bridgewater status is for this week yet. 342 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: I do know it's kind of up in the area 343 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: yet with Christian because he's on my fantasy team and 344 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: it's currently killing me. But Minnesota, I think there's a 345 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: stat out there's something like the last five games they 346 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: only allowed one rushing touchdown, so regardless of whether or 347 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: not McCaffrey's on the field. Uh, this Vikings defense is 348 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: playing much better. But both of these teams are sitting 349 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: at four wins going into the month of December. One 350 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: of them for sure is not going to have more 351 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: than that as they march into that that month. So 352 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: this is sort of last call if you want to 353 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: make a playoff run here, if the Vikings want to 354 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: show that they're for real. It's so tough to win three, 355 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: four or five games a role in this league. You're 356 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: gonna have a let up at some point. Unfortunate for 357 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: Minnesota it happened against the Cowboys at home. But you 358 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: can have a chance to get one back against the 359 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: Panthers or you're gonna be looking really far up now 360 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: at this NFC North as you march into those last 361 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: four games. Yeah, no question about it. Um. Another interesting 362 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: one in the a f C. We saw the Colts 363 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 1: take on the Tennessee Titans on the Thursday night before 364 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: the Colts then took on the Packers. Well, now the 365 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: Tennessee Indianapolis rematches here already, these two teams playing each 366 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: other twice in a span of three weeks. The Colts 367 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: get the Titans at home. Both teams are tied with 368 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: the best record in the a f C South, um 369 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: so first place in in that division is on the line, 370 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: and both of these teams coming off of big wins, 371 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: both overtime wins. As a matter of fact, because the 372 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans beat the Baltimore Ravens in overtime on a 373 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry touchdown run. Just curious your thoughts on what 374 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: we're gonna see here in the a f C South 375 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: with these two heavyweights going at it. Well, I understand 376 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: as difficult as it was for the Packers to lose 377 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: that game, the real thing you have to understand from 378 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: the Colts perspective is they're heading into a meat grinder 379 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: here at the end of this season. Now again they 380 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: have to face the Tennessee Titans. They were able to 381 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: turn them back. Can you do it for the second 382 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: time in three weeks? You get them at home? But 383 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: after that you're taking out a Las Vegas Raiders team 384 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: that has really surprised a lot of people. They still 385 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: have a game in Pittsburgh coming up, and for whatever 386 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: reason with how this a f C got scheduled out 387 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: this year, uh, they face the Texans twice in three 388 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: weeks as well. So it's a bizarre schedule that they 389 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: have lined up extremely a f C self heavy. But 390 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: in terms of Tennessee, yeah, it's a competitive final stretch here. 391 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: You're gonna have Green Bay. You do have a Cleveland 392 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 1: team that's off to a pretty good start playing competitive football. 393 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: But you have to show that you're still the team 394 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: that everybody thought you were when they think everyone sort 395 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 1: of pegged them just to be able to turn back 396 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: the Colts two weeks ago and it didn't happen. So, uh, 397 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: seeing if they can not only Okay, they ran the 398 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: ball exceptionally well against some fifty four yards whatever they 399 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: finished with, but they couldn't throw with a darn Can 400 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: you get the passing game going? That's ultimately I think 401 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: it gonna be the biggest indicator whether or not they 402 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: can come out with a victory. Yeah. One other one 403 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on before we go 404 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: cross conference game here. Kansas City is at Tampa Bay. 405 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: The Buccaneers coming off of the Monday night loss to 406 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: the Rams. They're now two games back in the lost 407 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: column to the Saints in the NFC South. But they 408 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: have to face the one loss Kansas City Chiefs, who 409 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: other than that one time this year, they just seem 410 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: to pull out a game. Patrick Patrick Mahomes just seems 411 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: to be uh, seems to be the guy you want 412 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: with the ball in his hands at the end of 413 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: any game. Um, this is a big one. This is 414 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: a big one for Tampa Bay because if they lose it, 415 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: if they pick up their fifth loss, with the way 416 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints are playing and they have no 417 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: more games left against New Orleans, that division is almost over. 418 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: The division race is gonna be hard. Fortunately for them. 419 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: The NFC as as much of a toss up as 420 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: the a f C is right now for the top 421 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: nine spots right now in that conference, the NFC is 422 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: pretty much sorted itself out for the most part. If 423 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 1: the Packers would be able to beat the Bears on Sunday, 424 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you basically have your top seven teams here 425 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: heading into December, and it's pretty well defined. That being said, 426 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: you need to be able to win your division in 427 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: order to host a game. So, I mean this is 428 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: critical for Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers more than any other 429 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: team I think, and there's been a lot of them 430 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: just seem like they ebb and flow so drastically week 431 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: by week. They can have magnificent performances, they can have 432 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: massive letdowns. Well, now you're taking on not only a 433 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: team that is considered to be again a front runner 434 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl, but squad that's basically been beaten 435 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: once and I mean really hasn't been touched otherwise. So, uh, 436 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: seeing how they've responded, that's gonna be really interesting. And 437 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: also from the a f C perspective, whether it's this 438 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: game you have Pittsburgh gonna be taking on Baltimore again. 439 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is sitting at tennan o the quietest ten and oh, 440 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: I think I've ever really seen in the NFL. Uh, 441 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: this is a huge game in a lot of ways 442 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: for Kansas City as well, to show that there's still 443 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: very much in this thing and they want to get 444 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: that one single bye here in the f C plan. 445 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: The loan by at the at the top of the 446 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: playoffs standings and in each conference will certainly be an 447 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: interesting story as we get into December. But we gotta 448 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: say it to the Cleveland Browns if they can turn 449 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: back the one win Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, who are 450 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:53,719 Speaker 1: now going to be turning to Mike Glenn as their 451 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: starting quarterback. Cleveland assures itself a non losing season. A 452 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: lot of things happening, and it's looking like looking like 453 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: the Browns are gonna have a legitimate shot at the 454 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: playoffs here as long as they as long as they 455 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: can can take care of business against a team like 456 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: Jacksonville that I'm sure they believe they should beat. So well, 457 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving again, ready, thank you for tuning in everybody. 458 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: We will sign off on this edition of Packer's Own 459 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: Script and be sure to follow all of our coverage 460 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: of the team and everything from Sunday nights big game, 461 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,959 Speaker 1: Packers Bears at lambau Field.
