1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Packers Unscripted from

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: Packers dot Com. I am Mike Spofford, joined by my

3
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: partner in crime at Weston Hodkowitz. We're coming to you

4
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: here from our studios at lambeau Field, getting ready for

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: a Sunday noon kickoff at lambeau Field. A rarity west

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: a noon kickoff at lambeau The New York Jets visiting

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: Green Bay to take on the Packers. The Jets coming

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: to Lambeau for the first time in eight years. Two

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,639
Speaker 1: thousand fourteen was the last time we saw the New

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 1: York Jets here. And when I look at this team,

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: it's a team that under Robert sala Is is starting

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: to build some momentum, gain some confidence. Robert sali is

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: trying to pull the pull the Jets as an organization

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: out of you know, sort of an extended period of

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: Dould rooms here. Um, some really rough times in in

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: recent years. And uh, they've got a young running back

17
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 1: by the name of Breece Hall out of Iowa State.

18
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: And uh, I tell you what this looks like about

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: as pure a dual threat running back in terms of

20
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: running the ball and catching passes for a young player

21
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: that Um, he's making that offense go well, and certainly

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: look at the place he made in that win over Miami.

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: Um that wheel route, he comes free down the sideline

24
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: seventy nine yards, comes a yard short of a touchdown

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: on it. Uh, just a salty, salty group. I mean that,

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: That's when I looked at this matchup. These uncommon opponents

27
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: are always difficult, Mike, because you don't really I mean,

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: like truly, we don't really talk a lot about you know,

29
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: the a f C East AFC North. Yeah, I mean

30
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: I haven't sat and watched like the New York Jets

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: play football game, you know. I mean usually if you know,

32
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: if I have a chance to watch a game that's

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: not uh, you know, that's obviously not the Packers. I'm

34
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: trying to either watch somebody from the NFC North or

35
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: somebody else in the NFC. So we just don't see

36
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: these teams. But it does look when you look on paper,

37
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: when you watch that game last week, it looks like

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: they are finally making that change, you know, with Michael

39
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: Floor as the offensive coordinator. They ran Michael Carter a

40
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: lot earlier in the season. It seems like that scale

41
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: starting to tip more now towards Hall that who is

42
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: I believe the top drafted running back in this year's draft,

43
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: very dynamic player and second round the second round pick,

44
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: I believe it was thirty six overall. You look at

45
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: the way they are structured offensively. They had the issue

46
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: the injury with Zach Wilson, Joe Flacco had a step

47
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: in for a few weeks. Wilson is now back behind

48
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: the controls and Mike. Honestly, I look at how they

49
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: are configured offensively. They have threats really everywhere. Garrett Wilson

50
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: got off to a fine start, has been a consistent

51
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: performer for them. Their leading receiver the tenth pick in

52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: this year's draft. Uh, you know a lot of dangerous

53
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: type of receivers that Green Bay is gonna have to

54
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: deal without a plethora of different positions. So uh, as

55
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: I said, this is a game that you cannot take

56
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: for granted because I think the Jets being at three

57
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: and two, the momentum has turned. You and I watched

58
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: those training camp practices last year against the Jets, and

59
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: they're definitely seemed to be kind of a dearth of

60
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: talent at that point in time. Their roster last year

61
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: when they came to Green Bay for the joint practices

62
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: versus what Robert Sala has two has on his roster

63
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: this year. It's like night and day. But but through

64
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: the draft, through trades Corey Davis, I mean, when you

65
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: look at all the talent that they've acquired, now the

66
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: key thing is going to be Zack Wilson and where

67
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: he is at in year two of his development. But

68
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: he has no shortage of weapons to turn to. There's

69
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: a lot of intriguing and players with this Jets roster. Yeah. Absolutely.

70
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: You mentioned Hall and Carter, the two guys in the backfield.

71
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: Um pass catching wise, they have six different players mixed

72
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: year obviously, backs, tight ends, receivers, six different players who

73
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: have at least sixteen receptions through the first five games

74
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: of the season. So whether it's been Joe Flacco or

75
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson, they haven't had any problem spreading the ball

76
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: round in that regard. Defensively, to statistics jump out at me.

77
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: The most first is the interceptions in the secondary. They

78
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: have seven interceptions on the season, which is just one

79
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: off of the league lead. Eight is the most that

80
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: any team in the NFL has through the first five weeks,

81
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: but not only the seven interceptions, but six different guys

82
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: have at least one interception. They have one guy with

83
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: two and five other guys with one. And then as

84
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: far as that pass rush up front, and I mentioned

85
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: this in in our three Things video which we shot

86
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: shortly before we turned on the cameras. Here for unscripted

87
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: the last three games, this pass rush for the Jets

88
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: has piled up thirty two quarterback hits. Now for the season,

89
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: they have just ten sacks. But when you look a

90
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: little bit further into the numbers, that that it's kind

91
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: of misleading because thirty two quarterback hits over the last

92
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: three games, sixteen of them last week against the Miami Dolphins.

93
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: And yes, the Dolphins were dealing with the injuries backup

94
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and all of that um, but sixteen quarterback hits

95
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: in one game, seven of them from Carl Lawson all

96
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: by himself. This is this is a pass rush that

97
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: even if they're not piling up a bunch of sacks,

98
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: they can make life difficult for opposing quarterbacks. And past

99
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: protection is going to be a big key to this

100
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: game for Green Bay. The best coaches I'm talking about positions,

101
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: schematic in the league and even in college you see

102
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: that jump in year two. You're seeing it with Lance

103
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: Leopold right now at Kansas, right, guys that just mesh

104
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: what they have with a few new pieces, and then

105
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: then you start seeing the culture change, the chemistry come

106
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: and I think that's what you've seen in year two

107
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: here with Robert Sala. His defenses. When you go back

108
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: to his time in San Francisco, UM, they were almost

109
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: without equal And it's funny that all it took was

110
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: one year to start seeing the same thing from this unit.

111
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: Forty one quarterback hits this season. Yes, only ten sacks,

112
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: but forty one quarterback hits. We listened to Packers passing

113
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: game coordinator Slash defensive backs coach cornerbacks coach Jerry Gray

114
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: on Wednesday night talking about how you you know, the

115
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: good defense is marrying up the pass rush with the coverage.

116
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: Forty one quarterback pressures Mike seven interceptions right now on

117
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: the season, and eight one opposing quarterback pass or rating. Yes,

118
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: it might not just be about getting the sacks, but

119
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: seeing where that shows up in other areas for the

120
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: Jets has been very important. They also probably have one

121
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: of my favorite inside linebackers in the National Football League

122
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: and C. J. Mosley, I thought that was a really

123
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: savvy acquisition for them a couple of years ago. Again,

124
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: you look at their roster, there's not a whole lot

125
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: of household names, especially on the defensive side of the ball,

126
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: but as a unit, by and large, they're kind of

127
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: playing to that Robert Salas standard. Yeah, when you look

128
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: at what this the Jets team has done to get

129
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: to three and two at this point, what jumps out

130
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: at me the two road victories at Cleveland and at

131
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: pitts Burg. And I know those are two teams that

132
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, I have had some struggles and some ups

133
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: and downs, but the Jets were down double digits in

134
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of both of those road games. The

135
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: comeback against Cleveland was borderline miraculous, with the with the

136
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: on side kick and then Flacco leading another touchdown drive

137
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: after before the onside kick, they had hit a big

138
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: I think it was seventy five yard touchdown pass or

139
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: something like that. Then a couple of weeks later there

140
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh and they're down a couple of scores in

141
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and they and and uh and they

142
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: rallied and pulled it out. If the Packers, you know,

143
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: if things go really well for the Packers for three

144
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: three and a half quarters in green Bay has a

145
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: thirteen point lead with seven or eight minutes to go,

146
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: this Jets team is going to feel like they're you know, hey,

147
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: it's still anybody's game, because that that's the way they've

148
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: that's the way they played this year. They are not

149
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to get You're gonna have to get

150
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: three score lead on these guys in the fourth quarter,

151
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: um before you might start to break their spirit a

152
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: little bit, because they've proven they can come back on

153
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: the road. There they are, They're not they're not intimidated.

154
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: And uh the way they played these comebacks on the road,

155
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: they sort of have played with nothing to lose, and

156
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: and uh um, the Packers are going to have to

157
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: be ready um again, unless unless green Bay can get

158
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: up like twenty points on them or something like that.

159
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,559
Speaker 1: The Packers are gonna have to be ready to play

160
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: sixty minutes again. Which has been the biggest issue for

161
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: this Packers team is putting together a full sixty minutes

162
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: to put somebody away. Yeah, because last week they start

163
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: so fast. Other weeks it's been kind of a slow start,

164
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: and they've come together in the second half. It is

165
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: about stitching those four quarters together. The two areas that

166
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: I look at this matchup for green Bay that are

167
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: going to be essential. The first one is basically just

168
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: taking last week's what we appeared to be the keys

169
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: to victory and honestly just putting them through the xerox

170
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: and restarting the whole process. Much better receivers, much better weapons,

171
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: as I said that Wilson's going to have, but you

172
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: have to get after Zack Wilson. Uh still two starts,

173
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: He's had only one touchdown against two interceptions. He's been

174
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: sacked three times. Joe Flacco is sacked nine times before that,

175
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: twelve sacks on the season. This is a big moment

176
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: for Rashawn Gary Kenny Clark. You look at the left

177
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: tackle situation. They lost Uh Beckton right at the beginning

178
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: of the season. Dwayne Brown is signed. He injures his

179
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: shoulder immediately, so that he's out. Now he's back, you

180
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: have to be able to get some opportunities there. The

181
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: secondary for green Bay, We've talked about the dearth of interceptions,

182
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: the lack of interceptions, so far Jr. Alexander's only one

183
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: right now from week two off ad justin fields. You

184
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: have to find ways of tone of a football. I

185
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: feel like this is a good opponent. But in order

186
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: to do that, it goes back to Hall, It goes

187
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: back to making sure that Michael Carter doesn't get going.

188
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: You have to be able to stop the run. If

189
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: you accomplish those two things and allow your offense to

190
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: to manage this game, maybe get the running game going more,

191
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: it is a very winnable game. But if you don't

192
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: check those boxes. I look at the Jets a lot

193
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: like I looked at like at the Giants. I mean

194
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: it is a team on the come up that doesn't

195
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: have anything to lose. Yeah. Absolutely, And we talked on

196
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: our last show about how you know, we'll be watching

197
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: from the press box defensively for the Packers to try

198
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: to see. Is that is that pre snap urgency, that

199
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: efficiency to get to get to your spots, to study

200
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: the formation and what the offense is doing, and then

201
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: and then to be able to react and not um

202
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: react and potentially attack, not not to be that half

203
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: step slow because you didn't quite you know, get to

204
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: your spot just in time. Or you're trying to make

205
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: a last second adjustment, but then the ball is snapped

206
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: because that adjustment should have been made two or three

207
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: seconds prior to that. So all of those things will

208
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: be interesting to watch. With regard to the Packers defense offensively,

209
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like from a key to

210
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: victory standpoint, it's the same conversation that we had after

211
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: the lost to Minnesota when the Packers are coming back

212
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: home and we're going to face the Chicago Bears, and

213
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: we talked about the offense getting back to working through

214
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: the running backs through Aaron Jones and a J. Dillon. However, however,

215
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: whatever it takes to get them, to get them the

216
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: ball in whatever, in whatever fashion you want to get

217
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: them too. But I think if this, if this offense

218
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: does what it did against Chicago back in Week two

219
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: and resets and really works through those two running backs

220
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: thirty three and twenty eight, this you're you're back at home.

221
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: This is this is another opportunity to to to go

222
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: through that reset with the offense and get back to

223
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: what you do best. And that's what I expect the

224
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: Packers to do on Sunday. I agree, and for Green Bay,

225
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: it does go back to can you perform in a

226
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: balanced way for sixty minutes, being able to control the

227
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: tempo of a game. Matt La floor. That has been

228
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: the hallmark for the last three years. Allowing your offense

229
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: to find itself and to build off that momentum and

230
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: sustaining it. There has been issues as far as coming

231
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: out of the gates finding that capturing it, but if

232
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: you're able to actually carry that through more times than not,

233
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,599
Speaker 1: the Packers have been a really good second half team.

234
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: You look at the Jets on the other hand, the Jets,

235
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: there is a huge disparity in the second half of

236
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: the Jets. They have three points in the third quarter

237
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: this year, they have fifty eight in the fourth. They

238
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: have come on in a lot of different ways. Now,

239
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: that probably indicates a lot of playing from behind, but

240
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: it also shows you it's a game team that is

241
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: not giving up on itself. I think I look at

242
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: this Packers offense. If you're able to get the two

243
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: backs going, I'm not going to say touch stat anymore,

244
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: but being able to make sure that the ball gets

245
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: in those guys hands and building off of that. That's

246
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: what Aaron Rodgers was kind of talking about two one

247
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: thing green Bay has really not been able to establish

248
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: for the first five games is allowing the big plays

249
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: explosive place to happen based on the constructs of the offense,

250
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: not from extending a play, not from a scoverage breakdown,

251
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: but literally being able to to meld some of those

252
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: things together. And I believe that's going to be the

253
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: key on this one, because again, if you allow that

254
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: defensive front to get pressure onto Rogers, if you allow

255
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: them to be able to get a couple of takeaways,

256
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: the minus three on the season is not it's not

257
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: a mirrage. That's what Green Bay is right now, and

258
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons why they've had a hard

259
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: time winning these games. Really on yeah, I mean really

260
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: for on both sides of the ball. For the Packers,

261
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: it's about it's about establishing a certain level of play.

262
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: We hear the players talk about on both sides of

263
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: the ball, talk about the standard, and it's about being

264
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: able to play. I mean, nobody's going to play the

265
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: perfect game or the perfectly consistent game, but it's about

266
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: being able to play to that standard, not just for

267
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, seven out of eleven possessions, but maybe more

268
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: like nine or ten out of eleven possessions, right, um

269
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: and uh and and to be able to reach that

270
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: standard um more often and on on a more consistent

271
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,520

281
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: in Week six? Yeah, I feel like it's also you

282
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: talked about the noon game, right, you talked about the

283
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: normalcy that green Bay is going to kind of feeld here.

284
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: I won't even mention this fact that you and I

285
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: are gonna have omelets on Sunday morning. I'm very excited

286
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: about that. It's been three years, bro, I know, like

287
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm excited for that, um, But no, the bigger issue

288
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: I think for Green Bay is going to be getting

289
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: back on its own clock. I feel like if you're

290
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: able to win this, it's a really difficult stretch coming

291
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: up for green Bay. You're going on the road for

292
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: three straight games, you come back home, You're taking on

293
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys team that has been really outperforming. I think

294
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: what people's expectations were for them after this Dak Prescott

295
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: interview or interview injury um and maybe also the interview

296
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: but um, and then also the Tennessee Titans Packers have

297
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: eight games here before we're talking about by right, So

298
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: still it's still it's still a long stretch before before

299
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: the players really get to rest and recuperate. But I

300
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: do look at this as an opportunity because green Bay

301
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: for the most part, actually got out of London in

302
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: pretty okay shape. You got to make sure Aaron Rodgers

303
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: thumbs chill, You gotta make sure that that's okay. You

304
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: do have the hamstring injury, Christian Watson, but otherwise I

305
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: think there was like five or six guys on the

306
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: injury report, which is great for green Bay standpoints. So

307
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: if you're able to pick up this win, if you're

308
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: able to get your body clocks back set before you

309
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: hit the road for Washington, which is a game green

310
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: Bay should be heavily favored in. I feel like that's

311
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: going to be sort of the thing that catapults you

312
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: into the second half of the season. But you need

313
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: to get you need to take care of business on

314
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Jets in order to do that. Yeah,

315
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: it's an interesting stretch here coming up for the Packers.

316
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: And I know it's all about the Jets on Sunday,

317
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: but three of the next four games are noon kickoffs,

318
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: which is which is not the norm for this team.

319
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the Packers are almost always playing at you

320
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: know and and seven thirty and you know, Monday nights

321
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. Three of the next

322
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: four are noon Central Time kickoffs, with the the one

323
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: primetime game at Buffalo mixed in here over the next month.

324
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: So um be interesting to see just how the how

325
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: the team handles that. As far as Sunday goes Week

326
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: six in the NFL, two games in the early window

327
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: that will be going on at the same time as

328
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: Packers Jets that I think are are worth talking about briefly.

329
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: Minnesota is heading down to Miami. Obviously, Packers fans will

330
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: have their eye on that. The Vikings at four and one,

331
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: sitting on top of the NFC North right now. And

332
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: then Baltimore at the New York Giants a on a

333
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: f C versus NFC matchup there, the Giants coming off of, um,

334
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: you know, the biggest win for you know, so are

335
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: for Brian Dable as the new head coach, beating the

336
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: Packers over in London, and uh, and Baltimore coming off

337
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 1: of you know, last second walk off field goal by

338
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker to beat the defending a f C champ

339
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. I saw something, and I apologize I can't

340
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: remember the stat exactly, but I saw something about how

341
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: it's been some ridiculous amount of time since since Minnesota

342
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: won a game in Miami, like like that, they've they've been,

343
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, on some kind of drought now then maybe

344
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: something like that. But um, Vikings, you know, kind of

345
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: catching a break because it sounds it sounds like the

346
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: uh the Dolphins will be down to their third string

347
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: quarterback as they were last week. Um. I can't I

348
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: can't remember his name off the top of my head,

349
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: but but Tah and Teddy Bridgewater sounds like they're both

350
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: out for for this week, and and you know, the

351
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins did not We're not able to put up much

352
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: of a fight against the New York Jets. Um las week.

353
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: The Jets rolled up forty points and beat them by

354
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Um, but um Baltimore at the New York

355
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: Giants interesting in that, you know, as we talked about

356
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: with the NFC East on our last show, the Eagles

357
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: are five and oh, the Cowboys are four and one,

358
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: and the Giants are four and one. The Cowboys and

359
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: Eagles playing each other on Sunday Night Football. The Giants

360
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: playing at home against a tough Baltimore team with a

361
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: chance to to get to five and one and build

362
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: on their victory over the Packers. So some it'll it'll

363
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: some some interesting things going on with that NFC East

364
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: that has garnered so much attention here with those top

365
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: three teams have to such fast starts. Skyler Thompson, by

366
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: the ways, the third that's Thompson, Yeah remember him from

367
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: Kansas State. Uh yeah, I mean the NFC East. I mean,

368
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: it's been a recurring joke. I'm not gonna just reiterate it,

369
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: although maybe I will. I mean the fact that they

370
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: have been the division that I think everybody expected the

371
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: f C West to be just with how they've performed

372
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: year early on. Certainly, as you talked about the Giants

373
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: sort of you know, shooting over everybody's a very extremely

374
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: modest expectations for them Dallas, I think everybody was just

375
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: waiting for them to falter after they lost Dak And

376
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: as I've continued to say, Mike, I just I get

377
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: these vibes from Cooper Rush. He wasn't asked to do

378
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: a lot last week. I would say the cow the

379
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense definitely you know, won that game for them

380
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: against the Rams. That that Cowboys defense made Matthew Stafford's

381
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: life miserable, and that's that's all you need in this

382
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: league sometimes, I mean it it works out that way

383
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: and rushed it enough to help them win that game.

384
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: Philly is a team that has been you know, really

385
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: you know, athletic, versatile, deep, been incredibly impressive. For me though,

386
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: even though you know Thompson's gonna be in there, I

387
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: will be interested to see what the game plan is

388
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: that you know, Mike McDonald develops for that matchup with

389
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: the Vikings, because there are a lot of different aspects.

390
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: I still feel like with the Dolphins offense, that even

391
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: if you don't have necessarily your your starter the tour

392
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: that's available, you know, Jalen Waddle in, you know Tyreek

393
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: Hill can still find ways to get the ball in

394
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: their hands and make a defense pay well. And we

395
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: all know how how much things can change with backup

396
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: quarterbacks when they get the full week of preparation with

397
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: the game plan, as opposed to what happened to Skyler

398
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: Thompson last week where he was thrown into the game,

399
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: you know after the first series when Teddy Bridgewater was removed. So, um,

400
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: so you do expect Miami to Miami to look a

401
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: little different and potentially offensively look a little bit more

402
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: like themselves, just because um Thompson would be would be

403
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: handling you know, the practice rust for the full week

404
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: as opposed to doing the you know, cold coming in

405
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: off the bench kind of thing. Mike McDaniel, My apologies, Yeah, um,

406
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: I knew who you meant. Maybe they didn't um one

407
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: other one that's to talk about. I know it's it's

408
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: an a f C matchup, so it doesn't have any

409
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: direct implications on the packer. But late Sunday afternoon, after

410
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: the Packer game against the Jets has finished Buffalo at

411
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City in the a f C, and I believe

412
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: this is something like the fourth time in the past

413
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: twenty or twenty one months something like that that Buffalo

414
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: is playing at Arrowhead Stadium against the Chiefs. When you

415
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: combine regular season and postseason matchups, kind of crazy that there,

416
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,479
Speaker 1: um that they're in this uh. I mean, you know,

417
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: Packers have been there before, whether you're talking about San

418
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: Francisco or you know these other other places where where

419
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: it feels like you're getting sent there like every couple

420
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: of months to to play a game. But Buffalo at

421
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City a very a very interesting one in the

422
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: in the a f C. And you know two teams

423
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: that have met in the playoffs regularly, and who knows,

424
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: maybe they're headed for another playoff meeting as well. That's

425
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: stat that they had last weekend kind of like your

426
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: thing earlier. I'll probably watch this a little bit, but

427
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: that's stat about fourth quarter comebacks that Patrick Mahomes has

428
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: had now in his career, don't you see that? Like

429
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: I think he he has like a winning percentage when

430
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: his team is trailing by ten or more points in

431
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, like you think he's like twelve and

432
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: nine or something like that. I mean, it's crazy like

433
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: to be able to be that resourceful. I mean, certainly

434
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: you need a defense to be able to help you

435
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: out there, but it speaks volumes and I think, as

436
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: I said last year after that playoff game, I'm like,

437
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: this is going to be the Batman and Joker here

438
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: in the National Football League for the next ten years.

439
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: These guys are can continually see each other from the

440
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: same drash class. They're the two best players from that

441
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: draft class. Well, I guess you can throw the Lamar

442
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: Jackson thing in there too, but they're they're exceptional quarterbacks

443
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: and and the teams are going to be exciting to watch.

444
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: Um again one week won't be able to watch, but

445
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people be jazzed about it,

446
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: and I'd be remissed too. I mean, when you look

447
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: at the NFC North, just to mention, you know, Chicago

448
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: has a very winnable game against Washington, a Washington team

449
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: that is really reeling, you know, with questions about the

450
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: quarterback and whether or not Wentz is available, and even

451
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: if he is, if he is the guy there, like yeah,

452
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: Washington really struggle in big time right now. Those are

453
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: the type of games you need to win. And if

454
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: the Bears do that, they're at five. So there are

455
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: no easy layups in this league and in Green Bay.

456
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: From their perspective, this is one more reason why you

457
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: need to win on something and that's a Washington team

458
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: play playing the Bears on Thursday night football. Um, then

459
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, getting a little bit of a reprieve, a

460
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: little bit of extra rest before the Packers go out

461
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: to h to visit visit the nation's capital next week.

462
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: But it's all about the Jets this week. The Packers. Packers,

463
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: they they've they've got to get this one. Four and
