1 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Packers Unscripted from 2 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: Packers dot Com. I am Mike Spofford, joined as always 3 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: by my trusted colleague Weston Hodkoitz. We're coming to you 4 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: here from our studios at lambeau Field to review the 5 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: Packers thirty four to thirteen triumph over the Arizona Cardinals 6 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: on Sunday at lambeau Field. It improved Green Bay to 7 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: four and two. A lot of ground to cover as 8 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: far as this game is concerned, West, But I think 9 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: it starts with the fact that in his third game 10 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: back from the knee injury that cost him two games 11 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: earlier in the season, Jordan Love is starting once again 12 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: to look like the Jordan Love of late twenty twenty three. 13 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 2: Jordan Love look like Jordan Love on Sunday. 14 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that cerebral accurate so much on his footballs. 15 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 3: I mean, the play that just continually has been in 16 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 3: my memory bank since Sunday is the fourth down conversion 17 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 3: across the middle of the Christian Walk. Yeah, and it's 18 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 3: just there are just so few humans on planet Earth 19 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 3: that could make that throw, and Jordan Love did it 20 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 3: on a line and put it the only way that 21 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 3: is six foot four, you know, uber athletic receiver could 22 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 3: get the football, and for him to have I thought 23 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 3: this was such an interesting stat that Tom Fanning came 24 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: up with that back to back consecutive home games with 25 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 3: four plus touchdowns at lambeau Field, the first time that's 26 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 3: happened since nineteen ninety five with Brett Fahr, For him 27 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 3: to be to come out and be this dialed in 28 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: both with explosive plays and also with executing deep down 29 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 3: the field and scoring territory, I just felt like this game. 30 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 3: You could feel it in the locker room afterwards. 31 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: I'm sure you could. 32 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 3: You could feel it with Jordan too talking afterwards. It 33 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 3: just felt like the most complete game. Yes, they kind 34 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 3: of beat up the Tennessee Titans, but in terms of 35 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: just beginning, middle, and end with a few glimpse on 36 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 3: the radar in between, I thought the Packers in all 37 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 3: three phases and then basically every position group really showed out. 38 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you mentioned Love now back to back home 39 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: games with four touchdown passes. The other one was in 40 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: the loss to the Minnesota Vikings. But we saw in 41 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: the comeback in the second half there where where Love 42 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: was really starting to crank it up in this game, 43 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: completions to nine different receivers as the Packers kind of 44 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: got the band back together. At receiver. Watson was back 45 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: from his ankle injury, fortunately only missed only ended up 46 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: missing the one game Romeo Dobbs back from the one 47 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: game suspension, Watson not only catches the fourth and one 48 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: throw over the middle, but also a forty four yard 49 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: touchdown that was right on the heels of a long 50 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: punt return by Keishawn Nixon, and Romeo Dobbs in his return, 51 00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: catches two touchdowns. And I tell you, when Jordan Love 52 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: is spreading the ball around like this, I believe he 53 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,839 Speaker 1: targeted ten different pass catchers correct, nine different guys who 54 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: caught a pass in this game. It's it's when this 55 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: Packers offense is at its best. I don't you know, 56 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: there may not be there may not be the one 57 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 1: guy we're talking about, you know, where it's like, oh, 58 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: somebody had one hundred and twenty five yards or somebody 59 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: has twelve catches. That problem. That's going to happen, and 60 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: it has happened this year. But when this Packers offense 61 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: is at its best, that's not happening because the ball 62 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: is going to so many different people. 63 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: In this game. 64 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 3: I thought reiterated once again the importance of both Watson 65 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 3: and Dobbs on the field for the Packers. That's what 66 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: they do in how they add that recipe. Right, Let's 67 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 3: quickly just start back on Watson for a second. To 68 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 3: have three catches sixty eight yards, the forty four yard 69 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 3: touchdown passes you mentioned that came after the Keyshawn Nixon 70 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: punt return. That's going up against Buddha Baker. That's them 71 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: finding something that they felt that they could exploit against 72 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 3: the Arizona secondary. And I've watched that play as well 73 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 3: several times over and just the amount of velocity that 74 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: Aaron excuse me that Jordan loved and Aaron Rodgers, but 75 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 3: how much velocity Jordan put on that ball and then 76 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 3: Christian to come down with it, that is the number 77 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: nine X factor when he is on the field. Defenses 78 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 3: have to defend the Green Bay Packers differently. Turn it 79 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 3: over to Romeo Dobbs. Packers trying to move forward, Dobs 80 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: trying to move forward, what's the perfect way to do that? 81 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 3: Him coming up with three clutch catches at all at 82 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 3: different intervals in all at different points in the game. 83 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 3: The nineteen yard completion over the middle going up against 84 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 3: Max Melton being able to extend the pocket is just 85 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 3: there for days and days and days, and Jordan Love 86 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 3: is able to look for him downfield. 87 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: That was a full five seconds from snap to throw. 88 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: Five seconds and Love was absolutely perfectly protected to allow 89 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: that nineteen yard throw over the middle of Romeo. 90 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 3: And then you look at the first touchdown play, Love 91 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 3: sees something he likes over there, throws the out to 92 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 3: rome Rome finds his way inside the pylon the way 93 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 3: that everybody gravitated towards him, the hugs, the celebrations. You know, 94 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 3: some people had asked an insider inbox like, well, Rome 95 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: didn't show a lot of emotion. That's Romeo Dobbs, folks. Yeah, 96 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: that's the way he's been the last two and a 97 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 3: half years. It has nothing to do with what happened 98 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: last week. And then him also finding the way in 99 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 3: the end zone late hun. It just a remarkable play 100 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 3: from Jordan Love against a terrible look for a quarterback 101 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 3: where you're seeing in all out blitz out of cover zero. 102 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 3: He hoists that ball up for his receiver in one 103 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 3: on one matchup, trusting Dobbs to make a player at 104 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: least make sure the ball doesn't get picked off. Dobbs 105 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 3: does more than that. He spins the end zone, gets 106 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: two touchdowns, his second two touchdown game of his career, 107 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 3: and as we learned afterwards, Jyry Alexander actually told him 108 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 3: beforehand that it was going to happen, and it manifested 109 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 3: itself on Schame Day. 110 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, that second Dobbs touchdown, that was a seven man 111 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: pressure that the Cardinals sent. Packers only had six into block, 112 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: so somebody was going to be free. But then in 113 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: the back end it's four on four because football is 114 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: a numbers game at the end of the day. So 115 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: you know, Love knew that Dobbs would be one on 116 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: one on the outside. The defender Sean Murphy Bunning, who 117 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: had an interception earlier when bow Melton had slipped on 118 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: that route. Murphy Bunning just he had his back turn 119 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: the whole time. He never found the football. I'm not 120 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: even sure he really knew it was coming, which is 121 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: a credit to Dobbs because he didn't give away the 122 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: fact that he was that the ball was coming his way. 123 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: A really good play there on the ground Packers rack 124 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: up one hundred and seventy nine rushing yards in this game. Now, 125 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: through six games, the Green Bay Packers have over one 126 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: thousand rushing yards. Do you know the last time that happened? 127 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: The Packers were over a thousand rushing yards in six games? 128 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 3: I do, because I rode that I read the notes. Okay, 129 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 3: by all means, feel free to tell because it is impressive. 130 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, in nineteen sixty three. Yeah, back in the Lombardi era. 131 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty three was the year Paul Horning was suspended. 132 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: So but anyway, that's the last time the Packers had 133 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: over a thousand rushing yards through six games. But what 134 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: I liked the most about this one, and it's similar 135 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: to what was going on in the passing game, the 136 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: Packers are showing the variety of ways in which they 137 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: want to and like to run the football. You have 138 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: the one two punch in the backfield with Jacobs and Wilson, 139 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: and both guys were certainly very productive in this game. 140 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: But then you mix in, you mix in the end rounds, 141 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: whether it's Jaden Reed or Bo Melton, and you know, 142 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: stretching the defense laterally to then also be able to 143 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: hit them up the middle with runs the mixture that's 144 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: going on, and then to you know, ultimately pile up 145 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy nine rushing yards. A lot of 146 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: those late in the game. You're just you know, you 147 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: got the lead, you've got the ball, you're trying to 148 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: kill the clock. The Cardinals know you're running the ball, 149 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: and the Packers were able to just were able to 150 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: run it and grind the clock down. This type of 151 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: balanced offense. Again, it's against the Cardinals team that you know, 152 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: they lost some players mid game to injuries, and you know, 153 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: things really didn't go their way. But I'd liked the 154 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: way the Packers just they were balanced in this game, 155 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: running and passing, and they just they stayed in control. 156 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: It felt like, other than the one play where bow 157 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: Melton slips and the ball ends up getting intercepted by 158 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: the defender wasn't even guarding bow Melton on that play 159 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: in particular. Other than that, it just felt like when 160 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: the Packers offense was on the field in this game, 161 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,559 Speaker 1: it was in control of the game. 162 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 3: And as you point out there, you know Cardinals are 163 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 3: going through some stuff right now, but the Packers beat 164 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 3: them by twenty one points. Yeah, they controlled this game. 165 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 3: They got out to that twenty four to nothing lead, 166 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 3: the defense once again shut the door in the second half. 167 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: That's what you want to see to bring it back 168 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 3: to the ground game really quickly. This was a vintage 169 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 3: Matt Lafleur performance. It almost reminded me of the Tyler 170 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 3: Irvin days in terms of how many different guys got 171 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 3: involved in the run game and being able to use 172 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 3: some of the misdirection, use some of the prestat Motion 173 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 3: tweeted it during the game too. Yeah, Bow unfortunately had 174 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 3: the one slip on the slant. But I thought this 175 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 3: game for all as much as we talked about Bow 176 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 3: and Max Melton all last week, and rightfully so, this 177 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 3: game really did illustrate the value of Bow Melton to 178 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 3: this offense because he not only is the next guy 179 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 3: up in some ways as the downfield speedy option to 180 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 3: Christian Watson, his shiftiness in his versatility is also a 181 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: compliment to Jayden Reid and being able to orbit and 182 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 3: being able to do some of the pre snap stuff, 183 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 3: being able to take a hand off and make some 184 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 3: yards out of it. That's a very useful tool to 185 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 3: have in your toolbox, especially as you wade through the 186 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 3: course of a season. Unfortunately, Dantavian Wis goes down with 187 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 3: the shoulder injury. But we've seen this time and time 188 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 3: again how there always is another receiver available, just like 189 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: how Wicks was available when Watson and Dobbs were not there. 190 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 3: So this is going to be I think another reminder 191 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 3: to everybody that you can't defend the Green Bay Packers 192 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 3: one specific way, not with this many weapons. Yeah. 193 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: Absolutely well, and on the defensive side of the ball, 194 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: it's also worth talking about a pretty solid game there 195 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: as well. The defense got off to a really strong start. 196 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: I believe on Arizona's first four possessions they had one 197 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: first down. 198 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 2: Yep, they went three and out three three. 199 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: And out three times and the and the other was 200 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: just one first down and they punted. So a really 201 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: strong start there, and that helped the Packers build that 202 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: twenty four to nothing lead. Kind of the you know, 203 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: that forty four yard touchdown to Watson was kind of 204 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: the go for the throat call, but yep, Matt Lafleur, 205 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: it's seventeen to nothing. You get the long punt return 206 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: after the offsetting penalties and nullified the fumble, you get 207 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: the long punt return from Nixon and it's bang, take 208 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: the shot play, you know, touchdown in the end zone. 209 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: Am again twenty four to nothing. The Cardinals did rally. 210 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: They got a touchdown, the interception off of the slant 211 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: slip then set up a field goal, and then on 212 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: the other side of halftime, the Cardinals got another field goal, 213 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: so they got it to twenty four to thirteen. But 214 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: I think it's worth pointing out that both after the 215 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: interception at the end of the first half and on 216 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: the opening drive of the third quarter, the Packers defense 217 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: stood tall when it had to and didn't let either 218 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: of those drives reach the end zone, right, Because if this, 219 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: if this game gets to, you know, twenty four to 220 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: seventeen or twenty four to twenty one as opposed to 221 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: twenty four to thirteen, it looks a heck of a 222 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: lot different, correct, And I thought I thought on those 223 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: on those back to back drives the end of the 224 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: end of the second quarter start of the third quarter, 225 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 1: where the Packers defense held the Cardinals to a field goal. 226 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: During that stretch when when they were starting to find 227 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: something moving the ball trade McBride was doing some things 228 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: in the passing game with Murray over the middle. That 229 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: was a key stretch in this game for the Packers 230 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: to stay in control. 231 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 2: This is nuts to me. 232 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever seen this much symmetry in 233 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 3: a Packers game before. In terms of just looking at 234 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 3: the possession chart. This is for the Arizona Cardinals punt, punt, punt, punt, touchdown, 235 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 3: field goal, field goal, fumble, fumblefo fumble. 236 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 2: That's how they lost the ball. Incredible. 237 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, And if there was one thing too, this applies 238 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 3: to both sides of the ball. For Matt Lafleur, his coordinators, 239 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 3: his coaches to go into the meeting room this week. 240 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: This was also another example of what happens when you're 241 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 3: plus sixty yards on the penalty side of things. Packers 242 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 3: went from minus two thirty to twenty excuse me, minus 243 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 3: one twenty six on the season to minus sixty six 244 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 3: based on this game alone. It's the only game this 245 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 3: year where the Packers have been on the favorable sides 246 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: of the penalties, and. 247 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: The Cardinals had come in as one of the least 248 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: if not the least penalized team in the league. Maybe 249 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: kind of on the opposite end of things as far 250 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: as the Packers, but this one, this one did not 251 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: go their way. It started with Jordan Love drawing, drawing 252 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: several offside calls with the hard count and whatnot and 253 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: uh and yeah. Other than you know, a couple of instances, 254 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: you know, the personal fall on JayR Alexander obviously you'd 255 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: like to have back. But other than those couple of moments, 256 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: the Packers played a pretty clean game. 257 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 2: Which we still don't know what happened on. Yeah, we 258 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 2: don't know exactly what happened TV copy that to pick 259 00:12:59,120 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 2: it up. 260 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: There was no re played, no explanations, but there was 261 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: a flag thrown. All we know is that it was 262 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: announced is after the play was over. Oh yeah, so 263 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: it was not something that occurred. It was something that 264 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: occurred after the whistle. 265 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 2: But that's all we know. 266 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 3: But look at how this game ended too. I Mean, 267 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 3: this is what's been impressive about the Jeff Halfley defense 268 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 3: to this point, because yeah, there's gonna be moments where 269 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 3: you give up some yards, but the constant threat of 270 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 3: the takeaway is so important. And for them to have 271 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 3: Carl Brooks a force fumble and a fumble recovery, Evan Williams, 272 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: who by the week continues to show why he should 273 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 3: be in the lineup, why he is in the lineup, 274 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 3: punches a ball out Jyry Alexander recovers it, and then 275 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 3: you know, you finished that game with Kenny Clark diving 276 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 3: on a ball after a botched handoff. As cool as 277 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 3: it is to have fancy interceptions and forcing the ball 278 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 3: out and strip sacks, football is a hard game. Sometimes 279 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 3: guys just drop the football and you need to pick 280 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 3: it up. Yeah, and Kenny had the awareness to get 281 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 3: that one there, and they were able to shut the 282 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 3: door on this thing. The Xavier McKinney interception streak ended 283 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 3: at five, but it was so awesome, cool, mature listening 284 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 3: to him speak in the locker room afterwards about, Yeah, 285 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 3: that was a lot of fun. It sucks that it's over, 286 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 3: but the fact is is we want to win games. 287 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 3: We're here to win games. And he's like, if we win, 288 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 3: I'm the happiest man on earth. And not only did 289 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 3: they win, the defense continued this multiple game streak, now 290 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 3: up to six with multiple takeaways, the first time they've 291 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 3: started a season in that fashion since nineteen ninety six. 292 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 3: And everyone else knows how that went. 293 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: Seventeen takeaways for the defense through six games. Last year, 294 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: through seventeen regular season games, the Packers had eighteen takeaways. 295 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: You were six games into the season and you have 296 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: almost matched your takeaway total from a year ago. It 297 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: goes back to the old coaching adage, which Mike McCarthy 298 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: was the first one I heard it from, and he 299 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: said it quite a bit. In coaching, you get what 300 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: you emphasis, and this particular defensive staff defensive approach, it's 301 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: not just paying lip service to how important turnovers are. 302 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: They are coached to go after the ball. They try 303 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: to punch it out. I mean the punch out by 304 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: Evan Williams is the perfect example. That is not just 305 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: rallying to the ball to help your teammates. That is 306 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: rallying to the ball, seeing that your teammates have the 307 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: play under control, find the ball and go after it. 308 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: That's what these guys are being coached to do so. 309 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: And then you combine that with the vision based play 310 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: of the secondary led by McKinney with all of his interceptions. 311 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: That's how you keep taking the football away. Now, there's 312 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: probably going to be a dry spell here at some 313 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: point because teams are going to teams are going to 314 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: go into a game with the Green Bay Packers saying, hey, 315 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: we have to protect the football costs because that's how 316 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: these guys are winning games. They're winning games by taking 317 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: it away. So then the Packers will have to have 318 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: their answers and have to have their counters when when 319 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: teams do that. But if you get teams that focused 320 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: on having to protect the football, it's probably going to 321 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: take something else away from their aggression or their dynamism 322 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: or whatever it is that they're trying to bring to 323 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: the table that day. So my point is this defense 324 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: is being coached to play this way, they emphasize it 325 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: every single day, and they're getting the results on the field. 326 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, and in those instances too, Mike, where you know 327 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 3: Xavier McKinney, I don't think he had very many opportunities 328 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 3: for an interception in this game. There were not many 329 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 3: times where Kyler Murray was really testing the top of 330 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 3: this defense, trying to make something happen big playwise with them. 331 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: And that's the other thing too, Right, Xavier McKinney gets 332 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: an interception in five straight games, all of them essentially 333 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: playing a center feel, a deep center field type of thing. 334 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: That's giving court, that's going to give quarterbacks things to 335 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: think about and whether they really want to test this guy. 336 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 3: And that's where for all those plays that happened in 337 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 3: that game, the one that was the most encourage to 338 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 3: me was the Kenny Clark fumble recovery at the end, 339 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 3: because one, it shut the door on it. We could 340 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 3: just all go home and have our pizza and write 341 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 3: our stories and gets it slate. But two, when the 342 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 3: opportunities aren't there, when the emphasis for the opposing team 343 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 3: is there, and if you have a team that just 344 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 3: does protect the ball very well, when there are chances 345 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 3: to get a takeaway when someone puts it in your 346 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 3: lap in that moment, in that millisecond, being able to execute, 347 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 3: and that's where I think last year the Packers came 348 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 3: up short a lot of the times. It's just it's 349 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 3: not easy. They're not trying to throw you the ball, 350 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 3: they're not trying to fumble the football. 351 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 2: But when those. 352 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 3: Opportunities are there in that millisecond of your life, you 353 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 3: have to find a way to come up with it. 354 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 3: This team has to this point. I think it does 355 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 3: go back to the emphasis and more than anything, Mike, 356 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 3: watch that game last night between Buffalo and New York. 357 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 3: How a sack that gets changed to a roughing the 358 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 3: passer call can change the landscape of things. How the 359 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 3: defense the game it's so tilted towards the offense. The 360 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 3: one thing that the defense can that in most cases 361 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 3: cannot be taken away from them is taking away the football, 362 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 3: and the Greemit Packers. 363 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 2: Have done that. 364 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 365 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: Absolutely a little bit of sponsor business here. West Sirius 366 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: XMNFL Radio delivers hard hitting analysis and up to the 367 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: NFL news that true football fanatics need twenty four to seven, 368 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: three sixty five.

Cousin Subs fifty plus 372 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: years of better. A few different things to talk about 373 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: as far as around the league through six weeks, but 374 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: we have to start with just where things are in 375 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: the NFC. North Minnesota was on its bye week. They're 376 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: sitting on top of the division at five and zero. 377 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions go into Dallas and put a whooping 378 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: on the Cowboys. The Lions are now four and one, 379 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: although they lost arguably their best defensive player for the 380 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: rest of the year to a horrific injury, and then 381 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: the Packers and the Bears both sitting at four and two. 382 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: So for the first time since the current divisional alignment 383 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: was established back in two thousand and two, with four 384 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: teams per division and eight divisions across the league, one 385 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: division has every team with at least four victories through 386 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: six weeks of the season. This has never happened before. 387 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: The NFC North is looking like it is loaded and 388 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: this is going to be This is going to be 389 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: some race for the division title because it goes it's 390 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: almost without argument at this point that the NFC North 391 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: is the best division in football. 392 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 2: I think so. 393 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 3: I think the proof is there with the strength of 394 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 3: victories that they've had so far. Yeah, the Chicago Bears 395 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 3: beat up on a very bad Jacksonville Jaguars team, But 396 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 3: if Bears are actually going to be decent, you need 397 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 3: to put up forty two points on that team. 398 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 2: You just have to. 399 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 3: Your quarterback needs to play with a four touchdown, one 400 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty passer rating against. 401 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 2: That type of opponent. 402 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: YEP. 403 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 3: The one thing I would like to know that I 404 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 3: don't know is Yes, this is a very impressive statistic. 405 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 3: First time twenty two years we've had a start where 406 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 3: a division has had all four teams with four wins. 407 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 2: In its first six weeks. 408 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 3: I would be interested to see how many times in 409 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 3: the last twenty two years a division has had all 410 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 3: four teams and two teams have played each other. 411 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: Once the Yeah, there's only been one division game in 412 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: the NFC North. It was Packers Vikings at Lambellfield, with 413 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: Minnesota obviously getting that win. 414 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 2: That's been it. 415 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: All the rest of the division games, all the head 416 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,479 Speaker 1: to heads in this division have yet to be played. 417 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: There is going to be one coming up this week 418 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: that we'll talk about probably on our next show. 419 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 2: Very Big one. 420 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 421 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 3: But that being said, I think you've seen all four 422 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 3: of these teams win in very different form and fashions. 423 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 3: I think the Packers had to weather some early adversity 424 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 3: with the Jordan Love situation. Peers like the train is 425 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 3: back on the tracks right now. I think four and 426 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 3: two we can say that. You see the Minnesota Vikings, 427 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 3: what they've done surprising everybody. Sam Darnell in this resurgence 428 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 3: that he's been part of the fact that some people 429 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 3: are even mentioning right now adding his name to the 430 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 3: MVP race with how he's performed out of the gate, 431 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 3: super impressive. They've signed a ton of players and it 432 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 3: seems to be working out for them. The Detroit Lions 433 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 3: the juggernaut, the team that everybody expected to perform well 434 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 3: doing what they're doing. Chicago Bears found a way past 435 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 3: a really bad Tennessee Titans team and early in the 436 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 3: season and now have found their stride. Look like kind 437 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 3: of like the Packers team of last year, where they 438 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 3: could potentially be improving throughout the course of the year 439 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 3: based on the young structure of that team. Sure, they're 440 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 3: all doing it different ways, man, but for the Packers, 441 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 3: none of that matters. For three more weeks. You have 442 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 3: these opponents starting this week against the Houston Texans, then 443 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 3: you have to worry about the Jacksonville Jacors. Then you 444 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 3: have the matchup with the Lions. So the fact that 445 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 3: we're going to get all the way to the buy here, 446 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 3: the Packers will have two of those games, and I think, 447 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 3: what is it Minnesota plays Detroit. I don't even know 448 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 3: if there's another individual matchup out of than that through 449 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 3: the first nine weeks. The only thing that Packers can 450 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 3: worry about right now is getting victories, and that continues 451 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 3: this week against Easton Texans, which we'll talk about on 452 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 3: Thursdays Packers on Script. 453 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, one last quick thought before we go. Shortly before 454 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: we turn the cameras on here, the news broke that 455 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: DeVante Adams was traded to the New York Jets. The 456 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: Jets losing another heartbreaker of a game for them on 457 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills. Their kicker missed 458 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: a couple of you know, clank the upright on a 459 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: couple of kicks, and Rogers throws interception late and and 460 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: Buffalo ends up escaping the meadowlands with a victory. But 461 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: then within apparently within a couple of hours, Davante Adams 462 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 1: was on a plane on a red eye flight from 463 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: the West Coast over to Florham. Is it called Fluorham 464 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: Park or whatever the wherever. 465 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 2: The Jets has been there. 466 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: But so DeVante Adams, Aaron Rodgers back together again. Any 467 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: quick thought I thought. 468 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 3: Was listening to Aaron's postgame press coom friends last night, 469 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 3: was kind of reading between the lines. Is the DeVante 470 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 3: Adams bat signal up in the air in Gotham City 471 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 3: was my thought, just the way he spoke about the 472 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 3: final sequence there with Mike Williams, and it appears that 473 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 3: he ran the wrong route supposed to be on the 474 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 3: red line and said he was running kind of a 475 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 3: skinny post and that was sort of the misconnection happened there. 476 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: And Williams was the guy on the back end of 477 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: the interception in London where at the end of the 478 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: game the Jets had a chance to beat the Minnesota 479 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: Vikings and Rogers is trying to throw back shoulder and 480 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: Williams doesn't read it, the ball gets picked by the 481 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: Vikings and Minnesota survives to get to five and zero. 482 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is the ultimate test man. To me, 483 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 3: this is kind of like when you check off all 484 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 3: the boxes and now we're at the final one and 485 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 3: can DeVante help them turn their season around? If there's 486 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 3: anything I do know, it would not surprise me at all. 487 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 3: For assuming the hamstring is good, it wouldn't surprise me 488 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 3: all for Devanta Adams to play next week and have 489 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 3: a one hundred yard game again, just based on the 490 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 3: synergy he has with Rogers and the muscle memory. 491 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 2: Those two guys have built, but this is the big 492 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 2: move now. 493 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 3: And it was also interesting too because I just don't 494 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 3: know how many teams we're going to be willing to 495 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 3: move assets to acquire at DeVante in that contract at 496 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 3: going on thirty two years old in December.
