1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: Hi everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com. 2 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford, sitting alongside my partner in crime, 3 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: West Hodkowits were coming to you here from our studios 4 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: at Lambo Field. West were another day closer to the 5 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: big Week sixteen Monday night football showdown at us Bank 6 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: Stadium between the Packers and the Vikings that will be 7 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: in prime time obviously Monday night. As I I was 8 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: thinking about this game before we turned on the cameras 9 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: to start the show, all these different matchups started going 10 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: through my This is this Packers Vikings showdown as a 11 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: game of matchups. There's going to be some really intriguing 12 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: one on one type of battles to keep an eye on. 13 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: So let's just work our way through some of them. 14 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: What's the first one that comes to mind for you? 15 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: So there's a couple, right, and I think we're gonna 16 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: probably take some time here and go through all of 17 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: them throughout this show. But I would be remiss my tendencies. 18 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: I want to say Stefan Diggs, right, But I think 19 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 1: we gotta go back and we gotta remember that Week 20 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: two game and remember some of the storylines that came 21 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: out of that Kenny Clark ate Garrett Bradberry's lunch in 22 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: that game. That was a big reason for the disruption 23 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: they were able to cause and being able to get 24 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins off his spot. Now, Bradberry is a rookie, 25 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: he's matched, he's matured, he's gone through this whole season, 26 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: so he's in a different place now, I think than 27 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: he was in Week two when he was playing his 28 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: first road game. So seeing how that matchup plays out, 29 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: because you've got Kenny Clark now who's playing some of 30 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: his best football the year, going up against Bradberry, who's 31 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: settled in with I think an offensive line that people 32 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: generally would consider to be improved from Minnesota this season. 33 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: I think that's just one little thing in terms of, like, 34 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: if you're talking about the follow up to that Week 35 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: two game, that's gonna be one to track, but I 36 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: would be I mean, it is Stefan Diggs, how the 37 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: Packers want to defend him, What exactly the utilization is 38 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: going to be of him in this fence from Minnesota. 39 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: You talked about it on yesterday's show. I mean the 40 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: effect he's had, how successful he's been, and just the 41 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: day one to today, consistency of his production has been 42 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: a real problem. It's been one of the reasons too, 43 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: that Kirk Cousins has been able to get into this 44 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: groove after both of them worked through a few things 45 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: earlier this season. Yeah. I know neither you nor I 46 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: is in the defensive meeting game planning room here, but 47 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna toss this out there. We know it's 48 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs and Adam Theland, and we know there's Jairo, Alexander, 49 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: Kevin King, and Tremont Williams as the top three cornerbacks 50 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: for the Packers in this mix, do you think Mike 51 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: Petton wants to match up, you know, match guys one 52 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: on one and and travel around or do you think 53 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: he wants to keep guys on certain sides and see 54 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: where it falls so that Alexander will get snaps against 55 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: both of those guys, for example? Do you have any 56 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: gut feeling as to how this might go? I have, 57 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: So I call it select matching, right, because I think 58 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: you could take jayre and I think something that I 59 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: really would like to see them do this final stretch 60 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: of the season is really match him up with guys. 61 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: So whether it not it's digs, whether or not it's 62 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 1: Gola day, and then certainly whatever happens in a potential 63 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: playoff run here. But at the same time, I think 64 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: with when theels in the slot, I'm fine with Tremont 65 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: Williams being the guy, maybe covered him with some help 66 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: over the top gian here. I just I've said this 67 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: a couple of times now, Mike, but I just think 68 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: he's graduated to a role now where he can handle 69 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: just being on a star receiver and being accountable to 70 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: that assignment where he doesn't need the extra helper attention, 71 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: and that's so valuable in this league. I think Sam 72 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: Shields when he was at the peak of his power, 73 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: probably two thousand fourteen, that's where he was really good, right. 74 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: I mean they could they could take him and they 75 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: could put him against Calvin Johnson. They could just have 76 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: him matchups against specific receivers and he'd be just fine. Yeah. 77 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: Al Harris was a similar guy sort of in the 78 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: previous generation of the Packers defense. You might say, I 79 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: just think it'll be really interesting to see because theeling 80 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: is back from his injuries, missed a bunch of time 81 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup with hamstring issue, but 82 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: with Digs and Feeland both on the field and with 83 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: with how the Packers are going to match up there, 84 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: I do think I think Alexander obviously has risen to 85 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: a level. As you say that that puts him in 86 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: a little bit different category than maybe the Packers have 87 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: had at cornerback over the last couple of years. And 88 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: and that's a that's a nice piece for a defensive 89 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: coordinator to have, and especially at his young age. Mike, 90 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: you talked about l Harris. L Harris was in the 91 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: league for four or five years before he became an 92 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: entrenched starter. Sam Shields was in the league for three 93 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: or four years before he became an in trench starter. 94 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: We're talking about three year old young man that has 95 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: been thrown into that and really does not back down 96 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: from it. He's a heads up player, he's a smart player. 97 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: He plays with his instincts and that's what completes him. 98 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: It isn't that he's just fast and quick and you know, athletic. 99 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: It's what JayR does during the week and in the 100 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: classroom that has allowed him to become the player that 101 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: he's going to be. Because he's on a really solid 102 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: upward trajectory right now to being a lead. Yeah. Well, 103 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: obviously you mentioned one of the matchups in the trenches, 104 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: Kenny Clark against Garrett Bradberry. I think the other one 105 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: or ones that people are certainly going to be talking about. 106 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: We mentioned Daniel Hunter quite a bit on the show yesterday, 107 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,559 Speaker 1: Hunter against Blaga on one edge, Everson Griffin against David 108 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: Baktier on the other edge. And these are matchups that 109 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: are really really key for the Packers in this game 110 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: because the Packers offensive tackles you're on the road, the 111 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: tackles are the guys furthest away from the ball sort 112 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: of on the island where those those edge rushers have 113 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: that advantage with the crowd noise and the silent count 114 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: by the offense all that kind of stuff. So this 115 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: becomes a huge task. And we've seen it West, I 116 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: mean so many times, and not just the Packers, but 117 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: anytime the Minnesota Vikings play at home. If if those 118 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: edge rushers start to take control of the game, they 119 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: get they get the sacks and sometimes it's sack fumbles, 120 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: and they just they can just completely stymy and offense 121 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: with what they can do off the edges, and the 122 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: Packers have of their three time All Pro and now 123 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: Pro bowler David Battier against the snubbed Brian blaga Um. 124 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: This is just a really really big game for both 125 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: of those guys, it is, and that's one of the 126 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: reasons why. And you talked about it on the show, 127 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: and you wrote about inbox and I made a headline 128 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: out of it an Inbox the the NFC man that 129 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: NFC North just doesn't really get a lot of respect, 130 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: and I never understood that. As much as I'm sure 131 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: fans like to beat up on each other about the 132 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: Vikings and Bears and Lions, NFC North has been pretty 133 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: darned good for the past decade, and there's been more 134 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: often than not there's been a wild card team that's 135 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: come out of this division in some cases too. I mean, 136 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: that's just the way this thing plays out. And with 137 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: that has come a lot of really good pass rushures 138 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: because when Aaron Rodgers is a predominant player in your division, 139 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: you have to be able to pressure. The Bears did 140 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: that with Khalil Mack and this these bevy of pass 141 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: rushers that the Vikings have had over the last ten 142 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: to fifteen years, it really speaks to that. So for 143 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: Brian Bouloga to be consistently facing off against that caliber 144 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: of opponent. Yeah, I don't want to get back into 145 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: why he got snubbed and all that. We've discussed that enough. 146 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: But the fact that the Packers can go into a 147 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: game like this and they do it twice a year 148 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: against Minnesota and always feel okay about their chances, that's 149 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: a really testament. That's a big testament to him and 150 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: David baktr and the rest of that offensive line for 151 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: being able to make sure that their quarterback is protective. Yeah. 152 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to revisit all the Pro Bowl thing, 153 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: the whole Pro Bowl thing, either, but I will throw 154 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: this out there because it just occurred to me maybe 155 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: Brian Bolaga didn't get any recognition in the whole Pro 156 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: Bowl thing because he hasn't signed a new contract for 157 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: five years. He's in the last year of a five 158 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: year extension, so there haven't been any headlines out there 159 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: about Brian Bolagga getting paid all this money. You know, 160 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: I just I just think maybe that was part of it, 161 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: and that's not his fault by any means. And you 162 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: know how this goes in terms of recognition and and 163 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: and how names and numbers and all that become attached 164 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: to certain guys. And he signed his most recent contract 165 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: heading into and he's in the final year of that 166 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: deal right now. That's just that's just the way it is. 167 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: This is what's disappointing though, Mike, right, because like it's 168 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: one thing for to be like all the fans they 169 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: don't know what they're talking about, and they voted. If 170 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: you look at the Packers, they had the fourth most 171 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: votes among teams in the NFL. Uh And you know 172 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: a lot of their players were well represented. I think 173 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: Brian Blaga for a certain amount of time was up 174 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: there on the tackle fan voting too. So a third 175 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: of the other vote is coaches and the other third 176 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: is players. Like are they that detached from this that 177 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: they can't pick up on those sort of things. I 178 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: don't know. The question was asked an inset or inbox 179 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 1: about if you put more weight into All Pro or 180 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. I always say All Pro, no question, because 181 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: I know the people. It's a much more elite group. 182 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: There are fewer selections, and it's uh, it's not it's 183 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: not just a voting popularity type of thing amongst amongst 184 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: fans and fellow players and stuff. I mean, these are 185 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: the these are the Associated Press writers who cover this 186 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: league year after year after year, and they take this 187 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: stuff serious. Absolutely take the responsibility very serious. I don't 188 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: want to talk on this turn here, but I know 189 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: a lot of the guys that do this, you know, 190 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: in Green Bay and in other places. I mean, they 191 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: go around and they're talking to players about particular pass 192 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: rushers in offensive lineman. They're trying to get into the 193 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: nitty gritty details. They work hard to make sure that 194 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: those things have the credibility to it. But who deserves it. 195 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, there is a Pro 196 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: Bowl game. That's where the attention is, that's where the 197 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: eyes are. And unfortunately, you know, sometimes the popularity sort 198 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 1: of sways what I think maybe is sometimes the really 199 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: deserving guys. But it is what it is, all right. Well, 200 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: a little bit of sponsored business here.

Cousin Subs we 204 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: believe in better. Okay, another matchup? I want to throw 205 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: your way, because I think this is a really interesting one, 206 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: and for me, it's Aaron Jones against Eric Kennerys. And 207 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: the reason I say that is because we've seen teams 208 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: when Aaron Jones is split out in the slot or 209 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: split out why to potentially be a pass receiver running 210 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: routes and whatnot, we've seen teams take different approaches. The 211 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs got burned by trying to cover him 212 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: with a linebacker, and the Packers ended up winning that 213 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: game in large part because of what Aaron Jones did 214 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: as a receiver. Other teams have have decided to put 215 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: a cornerback on him has which has taken away some 216 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: of those routes. The Minnesota Vikings have one of the best, 217 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: if not the best cover linebacker in the league right 218 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: now in Kendricks, and I don't think they're gonna mess 219 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: around at all with asking some cornerback to cover Aaron 220 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: Jones as a past receiver. It's going to be Eric Kendricks. 221 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: And if the Packers want Jones to be involved in 222 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: the passing game, that's a matchup Jones has to win. Yeah, 223 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: the only modification that the Vikings can make here and 224 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: it's because they are the Minnesota Vikings that are as 225 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: deep as they are with their secondaries, they could potentially 226 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: put a safety on him just because of how deep 227 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: they are if they're in some of their sub packages. 228 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: But that being said, at the end of the day, 229 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: if you have a coverage linebacker that you feel good about, 230 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: nine times out of ten, he's going to be the 231 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: guy going up against that running back because you feel 232 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: good that he's not going to get burned. So I'm 233 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: doing a Q and A right now for for eric 234 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: Um Smith over with the Vikings this week, and he 235 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: gave me five lists of questions and one of them 236 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: is which player on both sides of the ball are 237 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: you most excited to watch? And I make the kind 238 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: of comment of, well, you can just pick pick whoever 239 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: you want. On the Vikings defense. There's a lot of 240 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: the guys that are worth the price of admission and 241 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: guys we've been watching for a number of years. But 242 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: Eric Kendricks is one of my favorite guys in this league. 243 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: I loved him when he came out of college. I 244 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: think he brings a really unique, dynamic skill set to 245 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: that position and he's one of the future of that 246 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: position when you're talking about guys that can play three 247 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: downs and being as effective as he could still be 248 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: when operating in space and the coverage. So he's really 249 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: he's become again one of these guys in this defense 250 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: that I think you have to watch out for. And 251 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: the nice thing is that, again getting back to the 252 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: sequel to that week to matchup is well, Aaron Jones 253 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: is a lot more of a known commodity when it 254 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: comes to the passing games. So how does Mike Zimmer 255 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: want to attack that? How does Matt Lafleur want to 256 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: attack this? Are we going to see more to backpackages 257 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: again to kind throw them off? Are we're going to 258 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: see him motioning, you know, outside back to the backfield 259 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: to see exactly what you know, matchups they can win 260 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: from that perspective, There's a lot of questions going into this, 261 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: but no matter which way you slice it, it's gonna 262 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: be Kendricks and Jones that ultimately are gonna probably be 263 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: the ones that decide who ends up being the victor 264 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: in that In that battle, yeah, I think that's gonna 265 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: be a really interesting one, and certainly Kendricks will be 266 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: trying to plug holes, you know, in the box when 267 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones is taking handoffs as well, not just trying 268 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: to cover him as a receiver. Another question to throw 269 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: your way, who covers Davante Adams. You think they go 270 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: with Trey Waynes. I think it's going to be Waynes 271 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: because Xavier Rhodes has not had the season that we're 272 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: accustomed to seeing from Xavier Rhodes. I think they're gonna 273 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: put Trey Waynes on Adams and then just deal with 274 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 1: the other matchups as they come. That's probably right if 275 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: we talked a couple of days ago. It might have 276 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: even been yesterday. We've done a lot of shows this 277 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: week without locker room availability. But you know when I 278 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,239 Speaker 1: mentioned they aren't quite as dominant defensively as they've been Minnesota, 279 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: I think a part of that probably does fact during 280 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: the roads in the past defense, But Trey Waynes was 281 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: an investment too, and Waynes has kind of always had 282 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: to sit in the shadows a little bit there, even 283 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: though he did come in as heralded as he was. 284 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: When you have Xavier Rhodes there, it's gonna be tough 285 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: to really stand out. But I think he is probably 286 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: one of the future for them at that cornerback position. 287 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, that wouldn't surprise me at all. Now, the 288 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: real question is if the Packers keep showing the slant 289 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: in these slot looks with Davante Adams, how do teams 290 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: want to attack it? And exactly are you gonna travel 291 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: guys there? Are you gonna throw your nickel back on him? 292 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: That's something that we're gonna have to see. Because the 293 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: Packers didn't go out just flow blown, say this this week, 294 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 1: but then moving him to the slot and then getting 295 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: the match up against Scrin, you can see that was 296 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: something they just wanted to take advantage of that. That 297 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: was something I think one of the reasons you see 298 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: him have thirteen fourteen targets in this past week. Yeah. Well, 299 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers and Matt Lafleur both said that that 300 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: fourth downplay in the early stages of the Bears game 301 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: that was not designed to be a shot play for 302 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: the end zone, but Adams in the slot, they got 303 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: the matchup against Scrine and Aaron rod just let it rip. Yeah, 304 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: it was one on one without really any help over 305 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: the top. So it was a great, you know, you 306 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: know thing for them. I more than anything right now, Mike, 307 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: I think you're seeing Davante Adams find a stride again. 308 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: I know there's been some ups and downs for this 309 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: offense and then they're still trying to get some things 310 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: ironed out. But Davanta Adams is looking like Davante Adams again, 311 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: and you're gonna want to get him the ball as 312 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: often as possible, and how teams want to defend that. 313 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: Starting with the vikings here, that's gonna probably give you 314 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: a big indication of when are the opportunities going to 315 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: open up because as much as it can be about 316 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones and Davante Adams, and trust me, that's where 317 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: the ball has to run through here for the Packers. 318 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: If they're gonna be legitimate run, that's gonna be the 319 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: bread and butter of the offense, no doubt about it. 320 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: It's that attention that those two drive that are gonna 321 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: get Jake Kumber forty nine yard catch. It's going to 322 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: open up al lazard for opportunities. So this is it's 323 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: gonna be a really fascinating way to watch this thing 324 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: play out and seeing exactly with where the Packers offenses 325 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: in Week sixteen, how Mike Zimmer, one of the NFL's 326 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: brightest defensive minds wants to really match up with that. Well, 327 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: that's that's and that's the last matchup here I want 328 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: to get to because we've seen it over the years, 329 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: and what I'm talking about is Aaron Rodgers against Mike Zimmer. 330 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: Because whether you're talking about those double a gap looks 331 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: with Anthony Barr and Eric Kendricks, you know, lining up 332 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: on either side of the center, whether they're gonna blitz 333 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: or back off. Where Harrison Smith lines up, does he 334 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: come up to the line of scrimmage and then blitz 335 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: off the slot? Does he does he stay back and 336 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: help out um one of those other receiver matchups. These 337 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: guys Rogers against Zimmer, they've gone, they've gone against one another. 338 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: They they put their minds against one another many many 339 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: times here over the years. And but quite frankly, it's 340 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: been a while since maybe one matchup with these two 341 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: had this highest stage. Absolutely, yeah, it's been years in 342 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: that regard. And it is funny that you mentioned the 343 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: double a gap thing that you quickly pivoted to, you know, 344 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: some of the other looks that they can bring. To me, 345 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: that's the most dangerous thing about Zimmer's defense now in 346 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen. Is the variance of his of his 347 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: personnel packages and how you can move around those pieces. 348 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: Because to be honest, Mike, I mean he was on 349 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: the very cutting edge of the double a gap blitz. 350 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: But now you see that all the time. Yeah, against 351 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: the Giant, it's been a copycat league. I still think 352 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: the Vikings in terms of the way they disguise it 353 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: and the way they keep you guessing about it, they 354 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: execute it as well, if not better than anybody else. 355 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: But I think Harrison Smith is that is that extra 356 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: chess piece that that Mike Zimmer has. Sometimes Smith will 357 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: line up in the slot and he'll take the slot receiver. 358 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: Sometimes he'll line up in the slot and then boom, 359 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: he's coming on a blitz and then somebody else is 360 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: picking up the slot receiver. But does the quarterback see 361 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: it soon enough to get the ball out? I mean, 362 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: all those kinds of things that that that's that's where 363 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: Zimmer tries to get into get into a quarterbacks head. 364 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: And he has the athleticism at that inside linebacker middle 365 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: linebacker position to be able to move those guys around 366 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: and still defend the middle of the field the way 367 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: you want to be able to defend it. And that's 368 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: why the double A gap and some of the some 369 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: of the concepts that they run off that has been 370 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: so effective for so long for them in this league. 371 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: And I also got to mention, I mean, how Anthony 372 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: Barr has to be the happiest guy in the room 373 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: right that he ended up the saying to stick around 374 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: Minnesota rather than setting sales for New York and being 375 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: able to come back and have the year that he's 376 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: had and for that linebacking core to still be among 377 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 1: the league's best. Um. That's that's that's a formatable group 378 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: to be a part of. Yeah, one more before we 379 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: go here, because when when I said, okay, when I 380 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: said the phrase quarterbacks head, this one popped into my head. 381 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins six and fourteen in primetime games, oh and 382 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: eight on Monday night football? Is there a psychological component 383 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: to this at all? Do you think when the ball 384 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: kicks off on Monday Night? I don't. I don't think 385 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: so either. But you know it's going to be talked 386 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: about here all week and through the weekend until until 387 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: the game actually starts Monday night. And this is what's unfortunate. 388 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: Mike for both sides. Is that Okay, if the Packers lose, well, 389 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: then you're the team that let Kirk Cousins beat you 390 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: on Monday Night football. Kirk Cousins has a eleven passer rating. 391 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is having a fine season season of his 392 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: career anomaly. Sorry, yeah, having a cold right now? Uh 393 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: that you know that that streaks gotta end? I mean, 394 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: did you just keep flipping the coin? Eventually it's going 395 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: to come up heads. The Packers just have to hope 396 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: it's going to happen in another year. But you know, 397 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: the bigger thing I actually think that is that not 398 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: enough people are talking about is probably people talk so 399 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: much about the Packers, right where's their marquee win? We 400 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: don't their prime time win? Have to beat Minnesota is 401 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: a team that has won a lot of games against 402 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: teams with below five records or at five. This is 403 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: actually their chance to make a statement against an eleven 404 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: and three Packers team. I think that's the storyline here, 405 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: is seeing, Okay, whatever people think about the Packers and 406 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: if they're underrated, overrated and rated whatever, this is a 407 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: really tough opponent for the Minnesota Vikings. How do they respond? 408 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: To that type of opponent because it isn't just Kirt Cousins. 409 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: Now more and more reports coming out signaling that Dalvin 410 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: Cook isn't potentially gonna be playing in this game. That 411 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: means it is going to be more on Cousin shoulders. 412 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: But there's a defense, there's receivers, there's special teams units 413 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: that have to be able to step up for them. 414 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: That's that's my biggest story. Can the Minnesota Makings be 415 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: able to reach that pinnacle? All right? You want to 416 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: wrap it on that. Yeah. I wanted to say one 417 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 1: of the things. Do you you check out the dope 418 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: sheet very often? Oh? Yeah, I look at it. A fascinating, 419 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: a fascinating little development that I don't know if it 420 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: was Natel Cassio or Tom Fanning or maybe it was 421 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: just the Lis dug up four punt returns of more 422 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: than ten yards so far for Tyler Irvin. His first 423 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 1: four all went for more than ten yards. First time 424 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: that's been accomplished since Derek Mays. The thing I wanted 425 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: to point out now that was such a better thing 426 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: to end on than this because I just want to 427 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,959 Speaker 1: talk about special teams. That's not that fun. Special teams 428 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: is going to be a difference maker in this game. 429 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: It's gonna be seen if Tyler Irvin can build on 430 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: his previous successes. It's going to be seeing if Dan 431 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: Bailey can continue this renaissance either that he's had after 432 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: the carousel of kickers that they went through Minnesota finally 433 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: ended up on him. Yeah, I just want didn't you 434 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: just win Special Teams Player of the Week? Third time 435 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: this year? Third time this year, Special Teams Player of 436 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: the Week. Yeah, accuracy this year. I honestly, as much 437 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: as we want to talk about Cousins and Rodgers and 438 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: the defense and the offense and all these different people, 439 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: special teams, special teams, special teams, special teams, when we 440 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: get back into this desk, there's one more show to 441 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: shoot this week, when we get back into this desk 442 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: on Tuesday morning, Special Teams. Yeah. And uh, just the 443 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: other thing to throw out too. When you talk about 444 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: big games Packers Cowboys Divisional playoff between Crosby's two field goals, 445 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: wasn't it Bailey that hit a fifty plus yard fifty 446 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: one yard or down in Dallas that tied it up 447 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: and then set up Crosby's second one to win San 448 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: Bailey is a good kicker. He's had some ups and 449 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: and some downs, but if you put him in a dome, 450 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna produce for you if you stick with him. Yeah, 451 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: the Vikings have all right. Well, I think we covered 452 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: a lot of ground today and tomorrow we will get 453 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: to actually our keys to victory and what we really 454 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: think the Packers have to do to win this one. 455 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: But for now, we are calling it a wrap on 456 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: this edition of Packers on Script.
