1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.

2
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford sitting alongside my colleague West Hodkwitz.

3
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: Hope you all had a very merry Christmas. And West,

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: we are back here in our studios at lambeau Field

5
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: to discuss the Packers Saturday Night sixteen and nothing lost

6
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Vikings. And I guess another one of

7
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: these games that you just chalk up to a frustrating

8
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: sequence of events in a frustrating season, because, uh, the

9
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: game was kind of there for the taking. Minnesota's offense

10
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: was not lighting up the scoreboard by any means, but

11
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: the Packers some misfires by Brett Hunley, some good throws

12
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: by Brett Hunley that we're not hauled in in some

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: crucial situations by his receivers, and when it was all

14
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: said and done, the Packers unfortunately suffered their second shutout

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: loss at home. Yeah. I think, Mike, as I went

16
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: back and watched this game, it goes back to something

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: you and I have talked about numerous times throughout the

18
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: course this year, that getting on that same page, it

19
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: just seemed like when Bret Hunley made the throws his

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: receivers didn't come through, and then when his receivers got separation,

21
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: there were opportunities. Bred Hunley didn't put the ball where

22
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: it needed to be. Uh that that isn't a recipe

23
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: for success, and those missed opportunities really ultimately, especially against

24
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: a defense like this and an offense that, while it

25
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: wasn't explosive on Saturday night in the Minnesota Vikings, didn't

26
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: turn the ball over, it's gonna be tough to overcome

27
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: all that. I just think when when the Packers look

28
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: back on this in some ways, and you and I

29
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: even said it during the in the press box on

30
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: Saturday night, and it really did remind you that Baltimore game,

31
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: where there was an opportunity the defense put them in

32
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: a position to win that football game. In the offense,

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: while it drove the ball at times, wasn't consistent enough

34
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: and didn't make didn't take enough advantage of those red

35
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: zone oportunities. And what I thought was different about the

36
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: Baltimore game is I thought against the Ravens, the Packers

37
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: offense frankly looked rather helpless at times, and this particular

38
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: game against Minnesota, I thought the Packers just didn't help themselves,

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: because the the most frustrating thing about the drop passes

40
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: when Brett Hunley did make a good throw is a

41
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: lot of them were on third downs. They were to

42
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: move the chains to keep drives going. Pretty much all

43
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: of the drop passes, I believe, if if I'm recalling

44
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: all of them, they would have at a minimum gained

45
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: a first down. They these weren't you know, little sideways

46
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: checkdowns where guys are dropping things and things are looking sloppy,

47
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: but you don't really know if those plays are going

48
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: to get anywhere. These drop passes were for first downs,

49
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: to keep drives going, to get the quarterback some confidence,

50
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: to get him in a rhythm. And it just never

51
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: really came together. And and the killer mistake that Hunley

52
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: made was the one at the end of the first

53
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: half the it's attend to nothing game. The Packers are driving,

54
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: you have a tremendous opportunity to get it to ten

55
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: seven at half time, or a minimum tend to three.

56
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: It's third and three from about the fifteen yard line,

57
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: you're in the red zone and Harrison Smith picks him

58
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: off on a pass over the middle that Hunley knows

59
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: he never should have thrown it. He locked onto Kendrick's

60
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: the tight end early kind of stared him down a

61
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: little bit, and and Harrison Smith is is going to

62
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: read that and make the play, and he made Hunley

63
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: pay for it. Yeah, And I think this is the

64
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: most frustrating thing because when you as far as the

65
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: Packers are concerned, because if you do look at the game,

66
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: there were a lot of positives. The offensive line played

67
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: really well, the defense kept them in this thing. It's

68
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: just in the areas where the Packers needed players to

69
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: step up, it just didn't happen. And as you said,

70
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: there Harrison Smith another example of of a Pro Bowl

71
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: type player, although he isn't currently at safety, making big

72
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: plays when his defense needed in the most Viking shot

73
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: out of the gate. I mean they got out, they

74
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: got out there, they made the big plays. They got

75
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: the big defensive pass interference penalty for thirty nine yards,

76
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: were capitalized on that to put points on the board,

77
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: and after that really were held in checked for the

78
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: most part. But it just seemed like that little bit

79
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: of a hole was almost at times, I don't want

80
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: to say insurmountable, but the Packers just couldn't find that

81
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: play to put points on the board to get them

82
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: back within range again, had numerous opportunities to do so,

83
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: but just weren't able to capitalize on those. And I

84
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: think when the Packers go back and look at this thing,

85
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: is is Randall Cobbs said afterwards one of the most

86
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: frustrating UH performances he's been associated with, because I think

87
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: they understood how close they were to actually being able

88
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: to not only compete, but beat a team that likely

89
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: is gonna end up being, you know, a first round

90
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: by type of team in these playoffs. Yeah, the Vikings. Uh,

91
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: it felt to me like the Vikings never got nervous,

92
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: and that's because the Packers didn't do anything to make

93
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: them nervous. Even though for the bulk of the second

94
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: half it was only ten to nothing, then thirteen to nothing.

95
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: It's only a two score game. One touchdown cranks up

96
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: the pressure on the other team to respond, and the

97
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: Packers just never put the Vikings in a position to

98
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: do that. Now that being said, you look at the roster,

99
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: the game day roster, the actors are trying to beat

100
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: a playoff team with you don't have Clay Matthews, you

101
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: don't have Nick Perry, you don't have Davante Adams, you

102
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: don't have Damarus Randall. As the game goes on, you

103
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 1: lose Jordy Nelson, you lose Richard Rogers, you lose Jason

104
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: Spriggs at right tackle, so you're shuffling on the offensive

105
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: line again. So all sorts of things in that respect

106
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: were you know, an uphill climb for the Packers to

107
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: begin with. But the frustrating thing is the opportunities were

108
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: there and they just didn't see them. Yeah, and you

109
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: see guys, and we'll talk about this soon. We see

110
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: guys like Michael Clark step up, and I thought Jamal

111
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: Williams actually had a pretty decent day given what he

112
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: could out of the backfield. But Aaron Jones goes down

113
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: with another knee injury. Another injury there. I talked about

114
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: one of the my points of emphasis, one of my

115
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: keys in this game was getting both of those guys

116
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: upward of a dozen touches. They were able to accomplish

117
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: that with Williams, but Jones and his knee injury, they

118
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: didn't have that that, you know, that outside threat with

119
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 1: him and what he brings the table. And then losing

120
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson and Richard Rogers you're talking about two of

121
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: the most durable, accountable player is on the entire team. Um,

122
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: it's just and I saw a lot of people's comments

123
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: on Twitter throughout the course of the game too, it

124
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: was like, what next. Jason Spriggs goes out on the

125
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: first play. That looks like a pretty I mean, Mike

126
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: McCarthy said, it's a pretty significant injury. Unfortunately, you know,

127
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: talking to Justin McCrae afterwards, his entire week is focused

128
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: on replacing, likely replacing Jerry Evans at right guard. He

129
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: goes out to right tackle. I just think in some

130
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: ways it was kind of a microcosm of way that

131
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: this season has kind of gone from. Yeah, it was.

132
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: It was kind of a summary of of the entire seen.

133
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: But with that, we're going to throw it to a

134
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: break back with more on Packers Unscripted right after this.

135
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Packers Unscripted. Mike Spofford in this year,

136
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: West Hodkowits in that one and West. When you look

137
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: at the Packers defense here from said Urday night against

138
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, is certainly a respectable effort, holding Minnesota

139
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: to sixteen points, really to thirteen points when with the

140
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: final field goal being a turnover on downs that was

141
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: deep in uh in Green Bay territory for an easy

142
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: extra field goal from Minnesota. But um, this defensive this

143
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: young defensive lineman that we've been talking about a lot

144
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: this year, and I'm talking about the second year pro

145
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: Kenny Clark, former first round draft pick out of U C.

146
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: L A. I don't know how many times I've said it,

147
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: but I thought his season was over when he was

148
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: carded off the field with that ankle injury against Baltimore.

149
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: And not only did he come back, he's playing. He's

150
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: playing as well as any defensive lineman in the league.

151
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: If you were to vote, if you were to take

152
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: the All Pro vote based on based on the last

153
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: month of the regular season right now, Kenny Clark would

154
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: be at the top of everyone's list. This is what's

155
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: interesting to me, Mike, because I wrote about this after

156
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: the game, that the season he's had, and I think

157
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: as a whole we romanticize b J. Rogie's final stretch

158
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: of tooth in ten during that playoff run, and rightfully so.

159
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: He was a key player and one of the reasons

160
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: the Packers got to the Super Bowl. He had eleven

161
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: tackles in four sacks in the last month, that December

162
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: stretch of that season. Kenny Clark right now has twenty

163
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: one tackles in four and a half sacks right now

164
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: in the month of December. That's with one game yet

165
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: to play. By the way, this season has not gone

166
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: how the Packers want defensively. Not gonna sugarcoat that, not

167
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: gonna say anything that's untrue there. It hasn't worked out.

168
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: But to overlook what Kenny Clark has done in the

169
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: jump he's made in year two. Uh, you know, I

170
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: think it was Devon host who said this in the

171
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: locker room afterwards. I mean him and Mike Mike Daniels

172
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: there the salt and pepper this defense. They really are.

173
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: And I think when you look at a building plock

174
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: for where the Packers take this thing in two thousand eighteen,

175
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: it starts there. They didn't have Claim Matthews, they didn't

176
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: have Nick Perry, so you know what they needed more

177
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: out of their inside rushers. Those were the veterans. As

178
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: weird as it sounds, twenty two year old Kenny Clark

179
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: need to be a right yeah, and with two sacks

180
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: um the way he diagnosed that screen pass, that led

181
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: to his second one. This guy has the athleticism, he's

182
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: he can take on double teams, good run stopper. But

183
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: over this past month he's proven what Mike Turkovac and

184
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: a lot of these coaches I've known for some time.

185
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: He could be a disrupting pass rusher. Yeah, and Turgovac

186
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: was the one who said he'd been telling Clark, you know,

187
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: all of it was on film, especially with his pass rush,

188
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: that he was getting so close to quarterbacks, and Turkovac

189
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: was saying, just keep doing what you're doing and just

190
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: be patient. Yeah, early in the season that the statistics

191
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: weren't there in terms of the sacks. Well, now all

192
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: of that hard work, you know, doing what he's doing

193
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: is paying off, because for all of the sacks that

194
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: he missed, so to speak, he ends up getting one

195
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: just by running a quarterback out of bounds, you know,

196
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: not the fancy, highlight real type of thing, but it

197
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: counts as a sack because, as you said, he diagnoses

198
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: was screre passed. It was a really really good play

199
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: and he ends up getting the quarterback out of bounds

200
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage or one yard behind. However,

201
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: that that turn out to be, but it's a sack

202
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: and uh and he's for an interior lineman. He's racking

203
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: him up at a pretty alarming rate. Now, He's exactly

204
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: what you're looking for in defensive nose tackles in the

205
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: NFL in two thousand seventeen, going into two thousand eighteen,

206
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: you want to have, you know, a guy that can

207
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: stop the run, but he doesn't have to be three

208
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: pounds anymore. He can be three fifteen pounds and be

209
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: just completely country strong and being able to to really

210
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: dominate in the trenches. I mean, you look for those

211
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: guys that are just I don't want to say road

212
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: graders because that's a guard term, but just absolutely gritty

213
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: football players. Kenny Clark has been that since day one,

214
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: and he was only twenty years old when he entered

215
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: this league. He's become a guy that I think when

216
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: you look at the way his career trajectory is going,

217
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: is you're seeing the metamorphosis of a playmaker in a

218
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: well rounded three down football player. You saw the same

219
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: thing with Mike Daniels in year two. Daniels is a

220
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: little bit more situational at that time, but he had

221
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: those six and a half sacks that got into everybody's

222
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: radar this last month of the season, I think Kenny

223
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: Clark has followed that same path. And if you're looking again,

224
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: as I said, for for one of the things that

225
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: really point to when you go into two thousand eighteen

226
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: for what could be a strength of this defense, I

227
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: think Kenny Clark is gonna be a guy that that's

228
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: going to get a lot of notice in the NFL

229
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: going forward. Yeah, you wonder now as as we look

230
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: ahead a little bit toen we saw what happened early

231
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: in the season with Mike Daniels and that tremendous game

232
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: he had against the Seattle Seahawks in Week one, and

233
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: then unfortunately Daniels had some injuries. But we've seen Mike

234
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: Daniels have to take on double teams and whatnot. The

235
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: film that Kenny Clark has put out there in the

236
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: last month, he's the guy who's going to be getting

237
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: the double teams in eighteen. And now that's something that

238
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: personally for him he's going to have to adjust to.

239
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: He's going to have to deal with. There's going to

240
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: be some frustrations and some growing pains through that part

241
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: of it. But then that's also something that his other

242
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: mates across the defensive front are going to have to

243
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: take advantage of, because is the one who's He's going

244
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: to have that target on his back now as offensive

245
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: coordinators prepared to face the Packers. And let's be honest, Mike,

246
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: any three four scheme, really any scheme in the NFL.

247
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: When you can get that pass rush from a nose

248
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: tackle three tech position, that's the cherry on top. You

249
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: need to be able to defend the run. You have

250
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: to be stout in that area. But the biggest playmakers

251
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: in this league are guys that can get disruption despite

252
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: the double team, being able to shed blocks and go

253
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: back and look at any of his games this year.

254
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: Show me any film where he's getting pushed backwards, even

255
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: on those double teams, he holds his ground. That's where

256
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: I brought in that strong comment. I mean, it's just

257
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: incredible to me for a guy that's that young competing

258
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: against some offensive lineman there's seven eight years older than him.

259
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: There there's a line of thinking out there that offensive

260
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: lineman don't hit their prime until years old because of

261
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: the strength that you develop over those years in the NFL.

262
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: And Kenny Clark is standing up to it. Yeah, definitely. Well,

263
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure we're gonna be talking about him a lot

264
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: in the episodes to come on Packers Unscripted, But for

265
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: now we'll toss to break back with more right after this,

266
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: m Welcome back to Packers Unscripted. Mike Spofford here, Wes

267
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: Hodkowitz over there, and West. We got a little bit

268
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: of a glimpse on Saturday night into what could be

269
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: some of the future for the Green Bay Packers, and

270
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about two players in particular, wide receiver Michael

271
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: Clark and outside linebacker Reggie Gilbert, both guys very recently

272
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: brought up from the practice squad to the active roster,

273
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: and then they get their first regular season NFL game

274
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: action against the Vikings. Uh, you can start with who

275
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: you want to, but both of these guys flashed a

276
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: little bit of ability. They did, Mike, and obviously the

277
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: result was not what the Packers wanted, but I actually

278
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: thought they did check a box here in terms of

279
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: getting their young guys playing time. Reggie Gilbert played forty

280
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: snaps Michael out of as. Nothing like doing that. Excuse me,

281
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: your first game, yeah, exactly, getting getting introduced, you know,

282
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: trial by fire, but I asked him that afterwards if

283
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: he had any inclination that he was going to play

284
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: as much as he did. Regie. This wasn't just second

285
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: half either. Reggie Gilbert was out there on like the

286
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: second defensive series. He was on the field. The Packers

287
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: really were counting on him in this football game, and

288
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: I thought, that's exactly what they need to do. It

289
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: goes back to a comment Jay Rone Elliott, who's you know,

290
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: no longer with the Packers, said to me back during

291
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: the offseason program, because we're talking a lot about you know,

292
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: different rookies and undrafted guys and you know players coming

293
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: off the practice squad that could make an impact, and

294
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: he said, don't sleep on Reggie Gilbert. This is a

295
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: guy that has a lot of ability. Made a huge

296
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: transition going from a four three defensive end defensive tackle

297
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: at the University of Arizona to a stand up three

298
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: four outside backer. Not an easy switch to make. Chris

299
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: Odom's found that out this year with his his his

300
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: move as well to that position, and I think you

301
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: saw his natural tools and assets to be able to

302
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: get some push those Kenny Clark sacks. He basically was

303
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: on on both of them all the we obviously wasn't

304
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: credited for him. This guy can play, and I think

305
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: as they go into this game against the Lions, I

306
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: really want to see more of them because there's a

307
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: lot of ability they're touching quickly. On Michael Clark, we've

308
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: seen at six ft seven the catch radius he has.

309
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: He's raw, he has a lot of room for growth yet,

310
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: but that diving catch I think really illustrates exactly what

311
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: he can bring to the table with just how much

312
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: of a catch radius he has to make a play. Yeah,

313
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: that was a heck of a diving catcher. I believe

314
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: it was for a nineteen yard game. Put the Packers

315
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: in Yeah, put the Packers in position to potentially get

316
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: some points there. We know unfortunately that didn't work out. Um,

317
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: but Clark had a couple of back shoulder opportunities to that.

318
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: You know, wasn't able to quite connect with Brett Hunley

319
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: on those are plays I'm sure he would like to

320
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: have back. They are pretty well thrown balls. I give

321
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: Hunley credit for putting the ball where it needed to

322
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: be and those are the learning opportunities though. That's the

323
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: next step now for Michael Clark. Because I'm sure he'd

324
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: like to get another opportunity. And as you said the

325
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: Detroit game, okay, here's your chance to follow it up,

326
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: you know. And Reggie Gilbert the same way, here's your

327
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: chance to follow it up and show that you can,

328
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, get some pass rush two games in a row.

329
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: It's not just about can you do it in one game,

330
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: it's can you can you perform that way on a

331
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: consistent basis. I think both of these guys, just by

332
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: what they've shown already, have put themselves in position to

333
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: make a serious run out of roster spot in. But

334
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: that's about as far as I'll go right now, because

335
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: we're just seeing maybe what they can do and and

336
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: doing it on a consistent basis game in and game

337
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: out in the NFL is another matter. And I know

338
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said during what would be as Christmas Eve

339
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: news conference that he's not in the business of preseason.

340
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: This isn't preseason football that you saved that time for

341
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: earlier in the summer. But the fact that these guys

342
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: have gotten on the field. They're on the fifty three there,

343
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster, which means they have to play.

344
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna get an opportunity to play. I just I

345
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: think if you're them, you have to be happy with

346
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: what you saw, even a guy like Lindsay Pipkins to

347
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: their undrafted rookie that they had make the roster this year. Yeah, cornerback,

348
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: he basically spelled Devon House in this game when House

349
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: had to come out because of what he was dealing

350
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: with throughout the contest. And I thought he made a

351
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: nice showing for himself as well. Without Damarius Randall being available,

352
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: was sort of the next man up at cornerback. I

353
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: mean Trevor Davis, Scott opportunities, Jeff Jani Scott opportunities. UM,

354
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: A lot of guys that I think people were clamoring

355
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: for in the inbox when we get comments and questions

356
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: were able to get out there on the field. Yeah.

357
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: And I think it says something you mentioned Mike McCarthy's

358
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: comment about this isn't this isn't preseason football. This is

359
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: going out there to try to win football games. The

360
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: fact that Michael Clark got the snaps that he did

361
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: and got the opportunities that he did tells you what

362
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: they think of him, because this this isn't just okay,

363
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: let's put him out there and see what he can do.

364
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: It's let's put him out there and try to win

365
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: a football game, and and that mentality, you know what

366
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: the coaches are looking for, what they see, what they

367
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: expect out of a guy like Michael Clark. They're putting

368
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: some pressure on him right now to perform, and as

369
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: you said, I'm very curious to see how he does

370
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: in Detroit next Yeah, and we're going to get the

371
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: injury report on Wednesday afternoon, so we'll see a exactly

372
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: where Jordy Nelson is and if Dabonti Adams has a

373
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: chance to play in this game. But if you're missing

374
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: those two vets, depending on how things shake out, and

375
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: also depending on what happens with Richard Rodgers at tight end,

376
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: there's gonna be even more opportunity for those young receivers

377
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: in this game. So that was a good building block,

378
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: but I think a lot of them, as you said,

379
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: contending for spots next year, you really need to finish strong. Yeah, definitely.

380
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: With that, let's toss to a breakback with more and

381
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: Packers Unscripted right after this. Welcome back to Packers Unscripted.

382
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: Mike Spofford alongside Wes hod Kowitz and West to provide

383
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: a quick rundown on where the NFL playoff picture stands

384
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: here heading into Week seventeen, one game to go. In

385
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: the a f C, the division champions are all decided.

386
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: You have four teams fighting for two wild card spots.

387
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: The ray Evens, the Titans, the Chargers, and the Bills.

388
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: Baltimore and Tennessee are the ones who control it. If

389
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: they win, they get the two spots. Los Angeles Chargers

390
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: and Buffalo Bills looking to win and get some help

391
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: in order to get in. On the NFC side, it's

392
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: two teams fighting for one spot. It's the Atlanta Falcons

393
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: and the Seattle Seahawks. And the Falcons are the ones

394
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: in the driver's seat. If they can beat Carolina they

395
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: are in. The Seahawks looking to win and have the

396
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: Falcons lose in order for them to get in. What

397
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: do you think is going to happen? Well, first off,

398
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean the a f C, what a wide open

399
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: race this year. I think in some ways, um, you know,

400
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: the Packers shutout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Certainly we

401
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: always view that as a winnable game. But I think

402
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: not just us, I mean in general, I think people

403
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: need to show the Ravens a lot more respect. Their

404
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: defense is legit, and offensively, when they don't make mistakes,

405
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: they can win football games. I'm not saying they're the

406
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: most explosive team in the world, but I think a

407
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: lot of times people saying that was such a bad

408
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: loss for Green Bay. Baltimore is a good football team.

409
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: They've had a solid second half of the real coming

410
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: off of that bye week, which the Packer game here

411
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: at Lambeaux was their first game after there by, they

412
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: played pretty well. Since then, they finished strong and I

413
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: think they found their identity offensively. The fact that Tennessee

414
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: has a chance to win and in is incredible to me.

415
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: I said to this to you three weeks ago. I

416
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: couldn't believe they were eating four at one point, and

417
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: I hadn't been paying much attention because Jacksonville is getting

418
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: all the headlines and then they're sitting there eating for

419
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: When was the last time that division produced two playoff teams? Right?

420
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: But getting back to the NFC race really going to

421
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: be interesting to watch seeing Atlanta in Seattle after having

422
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: all these different scenarios with Green Bay in Dallas and

423
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: Detroit all looking in. It's pretty finite now and basically

424
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: who wins is who's in. And I think the interesting

425
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: thing in the NFC that you have to keep in

426
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: mind and a year like this where the Packers have

427
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: their playoff streak at eight years ended not going to

428
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: the postseason, whoever gets in between Atlanta and Seattle for

429
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: that last spot in the NFC is the only playoff

430
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: team from ten in the NFC that's going back. The

431
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: other five that are all in, they weren't in the

432
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: playoffs last year. This is a almost a complete turnover

433
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: in one year as far as NFC playoff team And

434
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: this is what life is like in the NFL for

435
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: teams that aren't the Green Bay Packers, the Pittsburgh Steelers,

436
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: in the New England Patriots. I think sometimes people really

437
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: overlook how difficult it is to make it one year

438
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: to the next. You have teams that rise, you have

439
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: teams at fall. That's the way things work in the

440
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: free agency era, and I think it's some ways with

441
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: eight straight playoff appearances, you sometimes get desensitized to that fact.

442
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: And interesting what the NFL did here for Week sevent

443
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: team No Sunday night game. Because of all of these

444
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: games that depend on this team winning they can get

445
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: in or this team needs them to lose, they wanted

446
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: those games played at the same time, both in the

447
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: a f C and in the NFC, so they decided

448
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: not to have a Sunday night football game for weeks seventeen,

449
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: so nobody gets a competitive advantage. Kind of an interesting decision,

450
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: a very interesting decision. We'll see how it plays out. Yeah,

451
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: a new way to do things. But with that we'll

452
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: call it a wrap on this edition of Packers Unscripted.

453
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,040
