Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford sitting next to the one on
Speaker 1: only West Hodkowitz. Were coming to you here from our
Speaker 1: studios ed lambeau Field and we's one of the big
Speaker 1: topics here with regards to the Packers and the defense
Speaker 1: since the draft is where are the Packers going to
Speaker 1: get improvement in the pressure off the edge from the
Speaker 1: edge rushers Because they didn't draft one until the seventh
Speaker 1: round with Kendall Donnerson. There wasn't one signed in free agency,
Speaker 1: like with a Mod Brooks being brought in at the
Speaker 1: end of training camp last year. We haven't seen a
Speaker 1: move like that. One guy that uh the coaches have
Speaker 1: mentioned him GM Brian Goudacunst has mentioned him. The guy
Speaker 1: that is going to have a lot of eyes on
Speaker 1: him here is number ninety three, Reggie gil Albert. Um.
Speaker 1: I guess technically he's still a first year player in
Speaker 1: terms of service, but he's actually going to be going
Speaker 1: into his third year now in Green Bay. Tell us
Speaker 1: about Gilbert because his path to this point has been
Speaker 1: a bit unusual. I don't like to get into the
Speaker 1: whole hyperbo League game. I think I've said that numerous
Speaker 1: times over the years on this show. Um, but Reggie
Speaker 1: Gilbert has a chance, in my opinion, uh, to be
Speaker 1: one of, if not the best undrafted edge Russia that
Speaker 1: the Packers have had. And I don't say that lightly
Speaker 1: because there have been guys that have come in and
Speaker 1: made impacts. You know, you look at Frank Zambo, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Desmond Moses, Jaron Elliott, some guys that came
Speaker 1: in and in short intermediate spurts, Andy Maleomba, Yeah, that
Speaker 1: came in, made the roster, made their presence. Felt. The
Speaker 1: thing I like about Gilbert is this is year three,
Speaker 1: that was rookie Camp number three, and he had such
Speaker 1: a unique skill set coming out of Arizona, being a
Speaker 1: you know, hand in the dirt rusher, working inside as
Speaker 1: you know, that elephant type inside pass rusher on third
Speaker 1: down situations that he seemed to align with what the
Speaker 1: Packers like to do with their guys. It took time, uh,
Speaker 1: you know that first year he pushed a little bit,
Speaker 1: wasn't really in the conversation. Last year I thought he
Speaker 1: pushed more. But they had so many of those guys,
Speaker 1: uh that that were in that running and then they
Speaker 1: claimed Chris owed him off waivers from Atlanta. But at
Speaker 1: the end of last season he remained patient and he
Speaker 1: really bawled out those last two games. Now the hay
Speaker 1: is not in the barn for him. He needs another
Speaker 1: good summer here to put himself in conversation for a
Speaker 1: roster spot. If the Packers aren't going to go with
Speaker 1: a high pick on an edge rushing position, I think
Speaker 1: a guy like Reggie Gilbert looks at that and sees
Speaker 1: that this is my opportunity to not only get a
Speaker 1: chance at making the fifty three for the first time
Speaker 1: out of camp, but making an impact once he gets there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do think if the draft had fallen a little
Speaker 1: bit differently, I do think the Packers would have taken
Speaker 1: an edge rusher earlier than the seventh round. But that
Speaker 1: being said, the fact that they didn't it does speak
Speaker 1: a little bit to a vote of confidence they're giving
Speaker 1: to Reggie Gilbert and what they're seeing in his development here.
Speaker 1: His his transformation in a sense has been pretty remarkable,
Speaker 1: because you mentioned it. He was sort of an interior
Speaker 1: defensive lineman at times in college at Arizona. He's transitioned
Speaker 1: completely to outside linebacker. He's dropped about twenty pounds from
Speaker 1: the mid to high two seventies into the mid to
Speaker 1: high two fifties in order to play the position. Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy has talked about, you know, the change in his
Speaker 1: body and what he's done. I talked to him a
Speaker 1: little bit about it for for a story on our website.
Speaker 1: He really had to dedicate himself. He was kind of
Speaker 1: joking like, yeah, you know, I go back home out
Speaker 1: West and there's in and out Burger and all this
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, and you know, he really he had
Speaker 1: to stay dedicated to the to the plan that that
Speaker 1: the team's nutritionist, Adam Cores and had him on in
Speaker 1: order to uh, to remake the body a little bit
Speaker 1: and everything. There's a lot that's gone into this for him.
Speaker 1: And then, as it turned out, at the end of
Speaker 1: last season, Nick Perry needed had to miss some time
Speaker 1: there with some injuries. At the end, he finally got
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be on the active roster and then
Speaker 1: wasn't just on the active roster, but was in the
Speaker 1: game and then that entire I believe it was a
Speaker 1: Saturday night game Week sixteen, against Minnesota, it was like
Speaker 1: he was spending the whole game in the Vikings backfield.
Speaker 1: I mean he he was. It was instant impact and
Speaker 1: and then he went on to get his first NFL
Speaker 1: sack the following week in Detroit in the finale. So
Speaker 1: flashes of what perhaps is to come. But as you said,
Speaker 1: the hey is not in the bar and there's more
Speaker 1: development to go here. But definitely a promising guy to
Speaker 1: keep an eye. And here's the thing. He has played
Speaker 1: in two NFL games. I'm not trying to put this
Speaker 1: guy in Canton or anything like that. I just think
Speaker 1: it's important to remember this is not a new guy
Speaker 1: on the block. He was waiting for that opportunity. He
Speaker 1: finally got it. And I think from the Packers perspective,
Speaker 1: you have to be intrigued and touching on your other
Speaker 1: point earlier, Mike, the Packers could have easily the first
Speaker 1: and second round using outside linebacker draft pick on an
Speaker 1: outside edge rusher. It was obviously in the cards, it
Speaker 1: was in the conversation you and I really speculated a
Speaker 1: lot about it in the day's leading up. But no
Speaker 1: matter what or where they picked a guy, whether it
Speaker 1: was at number fourteen or in the seventh round, like
Speaker 1: Kendall Donnerson. They needed this current group behind Nick Perry
Speaker 1: and Clay Matthews to take a jump. That's where they're
Speaker 1: going to get the biggest impact, regardless of what they
Speaker 1: did going into two thousand and eighteen. So I look
Speaker 1: at Reggie Gilbert, I look at Vince Bagel now coming
Speaker 1: back from both of those foot surgeries. Even a guy
Speaker 1: like Kyler Fackrel still trying to, you know, fill out
Speaker 1: his talent in that body. It's gonna be interesting to
Speaker 1: watch even a guy like Chris Odom, you know, now
Speaker 1: with the full off season in this program to see
Speaker 1: what he offers. But as far as Gilbert's concerned, I
Speaker 1: think what he proved at the end of last season
Speaker 1: was that he should have been in that conversation for
Speaker 1: a roster spot to begin with because of what he
Speaker 1: put out on the field. And I think that's something
Speaker 1: Packers are really gonna have to consider this summer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a player whose arrow is definitely still pointing up. With that,
Speaker 1: we will go to a break back with more on
Speaker 1: Packers Unscripted right after this. H Welcome back to Packers Unscripted.
Speaker 1: Mike Spofford in this chair. Wes Hodkowits in that one
Speaker 1: in West. A lot of times on this show, we
Speaker 1: talk about the perseverance of players, and those paths can
Speaker 1: take many different directions in terms of what players have
Speaker 1: to overcome through their careers to get to a certain spot,
Speaker 1: to get to the NFL, or to get to a
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, or whatever the case might be. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if I've ever seen or heard a story of
Speaker 1: perseverance quite like that of the Packers new long snapper
Speaker 1: and seventh round draft pick Hunter Bradley, because every time
Speaker 1: I hear his name, all I can think of is
Speaker 1: one thing. Three A c l S. You've been working
Speaker 1: on a story on our website. You've talked to some people,
Speaker 1: including Hunter his father. What more do you know about
Speaker 1: this story? Because it's awfully intriguing it is, and the
Speaker 1: the hardest part of this is, you know, Hunters the
Speaker 1: only son of a football coach. He has a sister,
Speaker 1: but I mean growing up his dad, who was a
Speaker 1: long snapper and offensive lineman at Delta State, Michael Uh.
Speaker 1: They grew up football together every Friday night. Michael has
Speaker 1: been on assistant football coach Uh in their community in
Speaker 1: Collierville for twenty five years, so every Friday night Hunter
Speaker 1: was at his games and then ended up playing for
Speaker 1: him once he got to high school. It was a
Speaker 1: phenomenal tight end, terrific athlete, really good in baseball, but
Speaker 1: long snapping was just always something he did along the way,
Speaker 1: but tight end was the position he thought he was
Speaker 1: going to be able to get to the next level.
Speaker 1: His goal for so long, like so many kids growing
Speaker 1: up in the southern portion of the United States, Southeastern
Speaker 1: portion of the United States, wanted to play in the
Speaker 1: SEC and he started getting recruited by Dan Mullen in
Speaker 1: Mississippi State. The interest started to pipe up, and then
Speaker 1: right before two days his senior year, he pops the
Speaker 1: first A c L and that was just demoralizing one
Speaker 1: that the kid didn't get to play senior season high
Speaker 1: school for the football team. He was gonna be everything.
Speaker 1: He was gonna be tight end, he was gonna be fullback,
Speaker 1: He was a really good defensive end. He played basically
Speaker 1: every play of the game, and now he's gone. Um.
Speaker 1: But the thing that I think, talking to his dad, Mike,
Speaker 1: he mentioned is that even after he tore the A
Speaker 1: c L and then he ends up getting the preferred
Speaker 1: walk on deal in Mississippi State instead of the actual scholarship.
Speaker 1: He was up at five o'clock every morning, He did
Speaker 1: all of his PT all of his rehab before school
Speaker 1: at seven to make sure that he was doing everything
Speaker 1: he could to get back on the right track. He
Speaker 1: goes to Mississippi State, tears the left a c L.
Speaker 1: Then what happened with the right one? Is he actually
Speaker 1: at that time when he had done in high school,
Speaker 1: they were still using cadaver uh, you know, a c
Speaker 1: L tendons at that point. History has shown that's not
Speaker 1: really great for an athlete you want to do graphs,
Speaker 1: So then they redid that. Just a long path he's
Speaker 1: been on, but really inspirational from the standpoint of this
Speaker 1: is not a guy who had a scholarship. He was
Speaker 1: paying his way through college and then, as it turns out,
Speaker 1: now getting a chance to be drafted in the NFL
Speaker 1: as the only long snapper taken in this year's class. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he'll be competing with Zach Trainer, who is the
Speaker 1: other long snap around the Packers roster. Here at this
Speaker 1: stage of the offseason. We'll see how that competition shakes
Speaker 1: out through O T A s, which begin next week.
Speaker 1: And then into a into training camp this summer. But
Speaker 1: going back to something that Bradley mentioned in his conference
Speaker 1: call with the Green Bay Media when he was first drafted, Um,
Speaker 1: I forget if it was after the second or the
Speaker 1: third a c L or what was it after the
Speaker 1: third one? The timeline where he's he's h he's in
Speaker 1: the training room at Mississippi State and uh and a
Speaker 1: player comes by, one of the star players on the team.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't say who it was, but just looked at
Speaker 1: him and said, you know, what are you still doing here?
Speaker 1: Like basically, you know, you've all you've been is hurt you.
Speaker 1: You've been basically useless, Like get out of here, and
Speaker 1: you know, leave this to the rest of us. And uh,
Speaker 1: he just kind of swallowed it, brushed it off, and
Speaker 1: uh and lo and behold, look he got drafted. Well.
Speaker 1: And it's something too. This isn't a kid that goes
Speaker 1: home and cries to his mom and dad. Talking to Mike,
Speaker 1: he said he never even Hunter never even mentioned to
Speaker 1: his parents that that incident had happened until way down
Speaker 1: the road. Uh. The thing that is interesting there was
Speaker 1: sort of the serendipitous sort of fate to this whole
Speaker 1: situation though, because one of the things that became clear,
Speaker 1: they certainly were very intrigued in Mississippi State. Dan Mullen
Speaker 1: was with his athleticism and his ability to play tight end,
Speaker 1: but there always was this underlying thinking that he could
Speaker 1: play snapper, and they wanted him at some point to
Speaker 1: play snapper for them. So once that last a c
Speaker 1: L happened, he went home with his dad. They started snapping.
Speaker 1: His dad credits Chris Bono, who's in a special assistant
Speaker 1: Mississippi State, the former Cowboys kicker, for for really helping
Speaker 1: him um and harnessing his technique. And as I don't
Speaker 1: want to say his fortune would have it because it's
Speaker 1: terrible for the guy in front of him, but the
Speaker 1: long snapper before him ends up tearing his a c L.
Speaker 1: That's what gave Hunter the chance to get on the field.
Speaker 1: He thought he'd only be doing it one year. He
Speaker 1: ends up doing it for two and a half because
Speaker 1: of that injury, ends up getting the scholarship, you know,
Speaker 1: and his parents traveled to every game that he played
Speaker 1: in college just such an emotional I should say, every game,
Speaker 1: with about two or three maybe exception South Carolina. They
Speaker 1: missed because there was a football game Friday night and
Speaker 1: then they played at eleven the next morning in South Carolina.
Speaker 1: But whatever the case, maybe his kid's been through a
Speaker 1: lot and he's fought through it in the nice thing
Speaker 1: for him to put that injury history aside. He played
Speaker 1: those games at Mississippi State without incident after he made
Speaker 1: that transition to snapping. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see
Speaker 1: now as we go through the summer because it's been
Speaker 1: a few years now. The Packers have been looking for
Speaker 1: a long term replacement at long snapper for Brett Good,
Speaker 1: who has handled the duty, been the primary long snapper
Speaker 1: for about a decade now in Green Bay and done
Speaker 1: the job phenomenally. But when things haven't worked out with
Speaker 1: other guys, they have tried, whether whether because of performance
Speaker 1: or because of injury, whatever the case might be. Brett
Speaker 1: Good keeps coming back over these last couple of years
Speaker 1: and he is still available now. But the Packers have
Speaker 1: two long snappers in camp. They used a draft pick
Speaker 1: on one. Maybe this is the year that that they
Speaker 1: find potentially that long term replace. I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: let it play out. The nice thing too, as far
Speaker 1: as what Bradley gives you. He's tremendous in coverage. If
Speaker 1: you go back and watch some of his film. I mean,
Speaker 1: he made a lot of tackles at Mississippi State as well.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little different because now you know,
Speaker 1: the game changes for long snappers at the next level.
Speaker 1: But his athleticism is through the roof. Alright, with that,
Speaker 1: we're going to go to a breakback with more on
Speaker 1: Packers Unscripted right after this. Welcome back to Packers Unscripted.
Speaker 1: Mike Spofford right here, West Hodko wits over there. West.
Speaker 1: You mentioned earlier in the show you don't like to
Speaker 1: speak in hyperbole, and I don't like to either. But
Speaker 1: this weekend, yeah, this past weekend, we may have seen
Speaker 1: the birth of a new trend, certainly a social media trend.
Speaker 1: In the NFL. We saw a couple of Green Bay
Speaker 1: Packers walk across the stage getting their college degrees, and
Speaker 1: they were wearing their NFL jerseys, their Packard jerseys underneath
Speaker 1: the graduation gowns. And it made a pretty big splash socially,
Speaker 1: um across across the landscape with with football fans. I'm
Speaker 1: talking specifically about Aaron Jones, the running back from U
Speaker 1: TEP and first round draft pick Ji Year Alexander from
Speaker 1: Louisville UM. Alexander had his green number twenty three. Jones,
Speaker 1: I believe had the white number thirty three. But they
Speaker 1: were showing they were they were they were showing those
Speaker 1: off and uh And I think I think this is
Speaker 1: something that could catch on with NFL players who after
Speaker 1: they're drafted, or after they've been in the league a
Speaker 1: year or two, like Jones, go back to college and
Speaker 1: get their degrees. Maybe this is the new fashion trend here. Well,
Speaker 1: first and foremost, I love the fact that you look
Speaker 1: at Alexander wearing his jersey underneath his his you know,
Speaker 1: graduation goun He signed it to a signed jersey. I
Speaker 1: mean that that takes him swagger to do that. I
Speaker 1: know I've thrown that that we're out there a couple
Speaker 1: of times now to describe him. But he just has it.
Speaker 1: He has that in factor, he has that confidence. Uh
Speaker 1: And and I'm impressive to him. I mean, you tipped
Speaker 1: your cap to him. He graduated in three years after
Speaker 1: being an early in role, after early rolling at Louisville,
Speaker 1: getting his criminal justice degree. As far as Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: is concerned, This is really emotional for him and his
Speaker 1: family because he completed his degree. I believe he was
Speaker 1: the last sibling of Elvin Sr. In Virgus his children
Speaker 1: to to get his degree. His brother Elvin Jr. Got
Speaker 1: it as a graduate, not a graduate, but as being
Speaker 1: a red shirt fifth year player at Tip. And when
Speaker 1: he declared, when Aaron declared early last year, made that
Speaker 1: commitment to his parents. I remember talking to his dad
Speaker 1: last year, but how important it was for him to
Speaker 1: go back to school eventually. I don't know if they
Speaker 1: planned on him doing it in a year, but for
Speaker 1: him to go back complete his degree, gets his degree
Speaker 1: in Multidisciplinary Studies uh and and now going back to
Speaker 1: focus on his NFL career pretty pretty emotional imagine for
Speaker 1: their family. Yeah. Well worked out conveniently for Jones. He
Speaker 1: was able to work with an advisor um at U
Speaker 1: TEP to essentially take the remainder of the classes that
Speaker 1: he needed. He was able to take them remotely through
Speaker 1: through u TEPS online system. Another um you know, another
Speaker 1: another way in which technology changes changes the game in
Speaker 1: some respects. But we also should mention ha Clinton Dix
Speaker 1: recently a week or two ago, he also walked across
Speaker 1: the stage at Alabama got his degree, something that he
Speaker 1: had been talking about, and we talked about his off
Speaker 1: the field stuff with getting the internship at the Brown
Speaker 1: County Courthouse and the work that he's been, you know,
Speaker 1: furthering his own studies in criminal justice while he's been
Speaker 1: while he's been here in Green Bay. And then also
Speaker 1: seventh roundraft pick Kendall Donnerson earned his degree from Southeast
Speaker 1: Missouri and graduated as well. Always good to see these guys,
Speaker 1: you know, taking um taking that step to finish things.
Speaker 1: I remember even talking to uh to Casey Hayward after
Speaker 1: he'd been in Green Bay for a year, had this
Speaker 1: great rookie season with the Packers, he went back to
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt and and finished up. So a lot of these
Speaker 1: guys they take it very seriously. Whether it's a promise
Speaker 1: they made to themselves, a promise they made to other
Speaker 1: family members, it's a big deal when when they do
Speaker 1: it and they know they've always got that in their
Speaker 1: back pocket no matter what happens with football. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: and the Randall Cobb going back two years ago to
Speaker 1: finish a Kentucky as well. Uh, the how Clinton dicksone
Speaker 1: is is special because it was something that how Clintics
Speaker 1: is gonna be really successful in the game of football.
Speaker 1: I think he, you know, if health provided, he's going
Speaker 1: to play for a long time in this league. And
Speaker 1: I just thought last year doing that story on him
Speaker 1: and his internship at the Brown County Courthouse, the fact
Speaker 1: that he was coming off in All Pro year. He
Speaker 1: was coming off his first Pro Bowl appearance, but it
Speaker 1: meant that much to him to finish off that degree,
Speaker 1: a promise that he made to his mom, he made
Speaker 1: to his friends, and obviously his coach, Nick Saban was
Speaker 1: very adamant too about him going back as soon as
Speaker 1: he completed or at least enrolled and declared early for
Speaker 1: the NFL draft. UM. So for him to get it
Speaker 1: done while he's in school, I think says a lot
Speaker 1: about him. Kendall Donnerson, I didn't get a chance to
Speaker 1: talk to him yet. We haven't had, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: the access at O t As. I remember hearing him
Speaker 1: speak at the rookie camp about how when he was
Speaker 1: going out, I was trying to get into college, academics
Speaker 1: were an issue for him. That's one of the reasons
Speaker 1: why he landed at Southeast Missouri UM so I have
Speaker 1: to imagine, just based on his Instagram and some of
Speaker 1: those things, that was very emotional for him and his
Speaker 1: family to be able to complete that degree and now
Speaker 1: have that in his back pocket as well as he
Speaker 1: tries to make the NFL dream come, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: With that, we're gonna go to another break back with
Speaker 1: moren Packers unscripted right after this Welcome Back to Packers
Speaker 1: Unscripted Mike Spofford joined by wes Hodkwits and West. There's
Speaker 1: some information we should get out there for fans because
Speaker 1: if you cannot wait until the start of training camp
Speaker 1: to get your Packers fixed and you want to see
Speaker 1: some of these players in person. The the upcoming schedule
Speaker 1: of o t a S, which stands for organized team activity.
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, I've been call him o t
Speaker 1: as for so long you forget what it actually means.
Speaker 1: But the Packers have a handful of those practices that
Speaker 1: will be open to the public at UM I believe
Speaker 1: on Clark Kinkle Fields actually gonna okay typically nik Field, Yeah,
Speaker 1: behind uh behind the Don Hudson Center there and the
Speaker 1: dates to keep in mind May May thirty one, June four,
Speaker 1: and then also the mandatory minicamp from June twelfth to
Speaker 1: the four Those are all days that the packers will
Speaker 1: be on the practice field around midday. Hasn't been settled yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: eleven thirty for the O t A. So you know,
Speaker 1: if you're in the area, come on out to come
Speaker 1: on out to Nisky Field and and get a look
Speaker 1: at your Green May pack whether permitting, just to throw
Speaker 1: that out there, Yes, and there have been there have
Speaker 1: been some spring rains that have moved those practices inside
Speaker 1: in the past years, for sure. I was talking to
Speaker 1: one of my beat writing friends who shall remain nameless
Speaker 1: about this, and the nice thing is, I think probably
Speaker 1: the beat writers get more excited about when these dates
Speaker 1: come out than the actual fans to some extent, because
Speaker 1: we can start to plan our summers a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can figure out how I'm gonna take a day
Speaker 1: off here and get off here because because the practice
Speaker 1: is closed, I don't want to go when you need
Speaker 1: to be reporting back to Green Bay for training camp.
Speaker 1: But be that as it may. Yeah, in training camp
Speaker 1: starting July. Shareholders meetings is actually gonna be July now
Speaker 1: with them doing that at night. Yeah, first time, first time.
Speaker 1: The shareholders meeting will be at night, and it will
Speaker 1: be on the eve of the first practice of training camp.
Speaker 1: Quick turnaround from Mike Spofford and West Hogcoitz. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: off to see who ends up writing the story on
Speaker 1: deadline that night. But regardless, I think this is an
Speaker 1: exciting time getting a chance to you know, obviously, fans
Speaker 1: usually the dissipation for these things, the amount of people
Speaker 1: that turn out for them is always quite incredible. Uh.
Speaker 1: And from the packers perspective, this is it. This is
Speaker 1: as you we were talking about before, and this is
Speaker 1: where you have your final installs, you get ready for
Speaker 1: training camp, the final push for these rookies before they
Speaker 1: really are going to be thrown into the fire. So
Speaker 1: a very valuable asset for the packers and and now
Speaker 1: they know exactly when it's going to take place. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and just a just a tip for those who are
Speaker 1: maybe trying to plan a little spring outing to catch
Speaker 1: the packers. If you're looking at that mini camp June
Speaker 1: twelve to past experience would tell us that one of
Speaker 1: the last two days of that mini camp, either or
Speaker 1: the team is not going to have practice, They're going
Speaker 1: to have a team activity that will be often a
Speaker 1: private location not for public viewing. So if you're looking
Speaker 1: at the mini camp, just be aware that you're probably
Speaker 1: not going to see the packers all three of those days.
Speaker 1: You'll have an opportunity to potentially see them two out
Speaker 1: of the three. Your best bet is going to be
Speaker 1: on day one, June twelve and twelve to catch that
Speaker 1: because typically, um, let's say, the Kers would have that
Speaker 1: team building exercise in the middle day there. Um sometimes
Speaker 1: they end up dismissing the veterans for the last day,
Speaker 1: even though that practice is open to the public. So
Speaker 1: it's just one of those things. I know, one of
Speaker 1: the things I got to on inbox. Um. There will
Speaker 1: be no bike riding either. I know some people always
Speaker 1: ask about that spike riding. Spike riding is training camp
Speaker 1: only the players take their cars over to Nisky Field
Speaker 1: during O t A. If you want to turn out
Speaker 1: and bring your bike and wait for Mike Spofford at
Speaker 1: the gate, I'm not saying that he won't ride your bike.
Speaker 1: There's a possibility there, but if you're wanting an actual player,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a little bit more difficult to find. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that'll be that'll be a little tricky, but again uh um.
Speaker 1: The start of training camp will be July, with the
Speaker 1: shareholders meeting the night before on that on that Wednesday.
Speaker 1: It's going to be an interesting start to training camp
Speaker 1: this year, will be all right? With that, we've got
Speaker 1: to sign off on Packers Unscripted. Be sure to follow
Speaker 1: all of our coverage of the team on Packers dot
Speaker 1: com on Twitter. He's at west hot I'm at Mike
Speaker 1: Spofford at Packers for the team account. Thanks for tuning in, everybody.
Speaker 1: We'll see next time. M HM.
