1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com. 2 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford. He is the one and only 3 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: west hod Kuitz. We're coming to you here from our 4 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,319 Speaker 1: studios at lambeau Field West. The Seattle Seahawks in a 5 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: few days will be on their way to Green Bay 6 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: to take on the Packers in the NFC Divisional playoffs 7 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: lambeau Field Sunday, five pm Central Time kickoff. And as 8 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: we get into our discussions of the Seahawks throughout the 9 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: course of the week, this is something I find really interesting. 10 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: The Seattle Seahawks in a very prosperous decade right for 11 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: the franchise. They've been known for an incredible home field advantage, 12 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: for a powerful running game, and for a stifling defense. 13 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: The two thousand nine Seattle Seahawks lost four games at home, 14 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: but they are eight and one on the road after 15 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: winning the wild card game on the road at Philadelphia. 16 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: Their top ranked running game that was built throughout the 17 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: course of this year has lost all of its top 18 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: running backs, and the defense that everybody comes to expect 19 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: is actually ranked in the bottom third of the league 20 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: in the regular season in both yards allowed and points allowed. 21 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: So this is not the classic Seattle Seahawks type of 22 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: team that we've come to expect, but yet here they 23 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: are just like the Packers, two wins away from a 24 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: trip to a Super Bowl. Yeah. I think I've always 25 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: said I feel like there's a lot of parallels between 26 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: Green Bay and Seattle. Uh, and it's been that way 27 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: for the last ten years. And I think that's probably 28 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: kind of an offshoot of John Snyder and his touches 29 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: on that franchise since two thousand nine. But also this year, 30 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: I think their response to adversity. When you look at 31 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: the final eight teams that are left in this playoff hunt, 32 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: these two teams are there because how they've responded to 33 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: having to overcome injuries and set back x and defeats 34 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: and and the CTL Seahawks. You know, Matt Lafleur said 35 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: it at the podium on on Monday, they are a 36 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: tough team. Now. I think the one constant binding this altogether, 37 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: the glue, so to speak. As Russell Wilson question, undoubtedly 38 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: one of the top five quarterbacks in the National Football League, 39 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: It's gonna be able to cover up some holes for you. 40 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: When they lost the running game, he became more fleet 41 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: of foot. They've had different players like you know, DK 42 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: Metcalf and certainly Tyler Lockett now for a number of 43 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 1: years has been a difference maker at receiver, and he's 44 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: found ways to make do with those pieces. And I 45 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: just think when you really break it all down, his 46 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 1: ability to extend plays, much like Aaron Rodgers, is such 47 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: a huge advantage for Seattle's offense, especially the way that 48 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: they're structured. Now, the question I wonder is they had 49 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: seventeen backfield carries last week for nineteen yards. That is 50 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: just you've never heard of that before with Seattle and 51 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: the way that they structure their offense, not to mention 52 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: that being successful in winning a playoff team those types 53 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: of numbers. So what I wonder is, if they can't 54 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: get Homer going, if they can't get Lynch going, how 55 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: far can this team go? Does the run end on Sunday? 56 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see, But certainly with Russell Wilson, 57 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: he always is going to give you a chance. Well, 58 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: it certainly seems that as this year is unfolded, the 59 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: Seahawks continue to put a greater and greater burden on 60 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson to make this work. There are times, and obviously, 61 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: since you and I cover the Packers and we're traveling 62 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: and everything else, we don't always get to sit down 63 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: and watch complete games of other teams. But the times 64 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: this year that I have watched the Seahawks for any 65 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: length of time, it seems that there are significant stretches 66 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: of games where when if they can't get the running 67 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: game going, where suddenly everything offensively is just off schedule 68 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: and improvised, and it's all on Russell to run around 69 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: and make something happen, either either scramble for the first 70 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: down or you know, get right over by the sideline 71 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: and then sly boom, he whips a past to Metcalff 72 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: or Lockett or somebody like that. A lot of the 73 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: off schedule stuff, and I think the Packers heading into 74 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: this matchup, he just you have to be prepared to 75 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: play defense for seven or eight or nine or ten 76 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: seconds on every play. It's just gonna be this, this 77 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: extended battle on every single snap to get a play 78 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: over with when Russell Wilson is doing what he's doing. 79 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: And the fan asked me that insider inbox this week, 80 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: do I feel like they can keep up with Wilson 81 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: for sixty minutes. I actually do think they can for 82 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: whatever reason. When you look at Russell Wilson's career statistics. Now, 83 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: obviously he won the Film Mary Game, he won the 84 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: NFC Championship Game, but his numbers are not gaudy. Against 85 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: Green Bay, he's struggled. Now one of those games was 86 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: historically so, but still, I mean his he has the 87 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: lowest passer rating against Green Bay than any other team 88 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. And I think one thing 89 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: that Dom Capers did well, and even to a certain 90 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: extent last year, Mike Petton did well their ability to 91 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,559 Speaker 1: kind of keep eyes on him at all times, rush 92 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: from inside, contain the pocket. You want to make him 93 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: throw in that atmosphere and have him step up rather 94 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: than getting outside that the hashes and and really doing damage, 95 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: because that's when his feet can become a real problem. 96 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: What I like though about this, the way that this 97 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: defense is constructed is you have multiple guys that all 98 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: can play that spiral. It can be Kyler Facral, it 99 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: can be Zadarius Smith. You have a couple of safeties 100 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: and Adrian Amos and in Ibrahim Campbell that I think 101 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: are up for it. That's such a critical thing because 102 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: when you look and when the Packers had problems with 103 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: the read option in two thousand twelve and two thousand 104 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: and fourteen, they just didn't have a guy other than 105 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: maybe Clay Matthews that could really play that role. In Matthews, 106 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: you didn't want to take him out of the pass rush. 107 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: So I just think all of those variables are things 108 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: that are going to benefit them in this game because 109 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be one guy that's on him 110 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: for the entire game. Mike Petton can mix and match 111 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: depending on what he wants to do with his personnel packages. 112 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: And I've really, I've only believe, but the way they've 113 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: developed Darius Smith and how Kyler Facral has played a 114 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: very quiet but important role for this defense all year long, 115 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: that's going to give them a lot of flexibility that's 116 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: going to not allow the Seahawks to be able to 117 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: pinpoint one guy that they need to, you know, basically stop. Yeah. Well, 118 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: I wanted to get into some what what we perceive 119 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: as some of the key matchups in this game, kind 120 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: of like we did a couple of weeks ago with 121 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: the big game against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night 122 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: Football and as we're talking here is Mike Petton versus 123 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Is that the matchup that essentially defines this game? 124 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: Do you think I think it is? Up there? I 125 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: think it really is. I mean, when you look at 126 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: how Petton and the run that this defense has been 127 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: on now for the last five games, um that this 128 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: historic streak of holding teams underneath twenty points, twenty or 129 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 1: fewer points, being able to generate turnovers, you know, not? 130 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: You know they I feel like they've curtailed a lot 131 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: of those explosive plays that kind of bugged them in 132 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: the middle of the season. They're still not perfect. There's 133 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: still areas that they need to work on in certain 134 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: things that they need to change, But all things considered, 135 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: I think as a unit, as eleven people on the 136 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: field at one time, they're playing as well as they 137 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: have all season. So Russell Wilson's is going to challenge 138 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: that though right much like Aaron Rodgers will, He's going 139 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: to challenge your integrity. He's going to challenge what happens 140 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: once the pocket breaks down, once the play gets extended, 141 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: and how you respond to that. They haven't really seen 142 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: a guy like this this at this point of the 143 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: season maybe with the exception being Lamar Jackson, with that 144 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: being a preseason game. So I just think there's so 145 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: much history between these two teams, so much knowledge that 146 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: this defense is going to have of him. Obviously pett 147 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: and seen him a number of times as well. It's 148 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: gonna be a really intriguing matchup. But ultimately who wins 149 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: that particular chest match between Wilson and how Petton wants 150 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: to defend him that has such critical implications for this 151 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: game because of how much Brian Schottenheimer is running this 152 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: offense through Russell Wilson at this point in time. Yeah, 153 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: I think the other one people are going to have 154 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: their eye on certainly, and we'll see. With regards to 155 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: Seattle's running game, Pete Carroll has already mentioned he wants 156 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: to give the ball to Marshawn Lynch more that now 157 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: that Lynch has been back for a couple of games, 158 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: they may start trying to feed him and establish him more. 159 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: But DK Metcalf was the big individual star of that 160 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: wild card game against the Philadelphia Eagles, and this is 161 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: a young man, a young receiver, a rookie who has 162 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: really really come on strong. I think in the back 163 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: half of the season, certainly not looking or playing like 164 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: a rookie anymore. And I think it's an interesting decision 165 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: for Petton in terms of how to match up with him, 166 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: because from a size perspective, you have the six ft 167 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: three Kevin King, But by the same token, your best 168 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: pure cover guy is Jayyar Alexander, who from a size perspective, 169 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: is a little bit smaller. Obviously you can rotate around, 170 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: you know, clouds and safety help and and different things. 171 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see because I don't know what 172 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: ultimately Mike Petton is going to decide here. I'm very 173 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: curious to see how he decides to defend Dk Metcalf. 174 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: I am to be because not only DK Metcalf, but 175 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: you know Tyler Lockett in the slot. That's not a 176 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: position that Jagr Alexander typically is in either. That's what 177 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: Trumon Williams is. So how do you use number twenty 178 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: three against Seattle? That's a great question that they're gonna 179 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: have to answer. It was really fun listening to Trumon Williams. 180 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: In a tip of the cap to Tremont Williams, uh, 181 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: he said he had two minutes quick because he had 182 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: to go get a massage in at the end of 183 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: locker room on Monday. He's still stuck around for six 184 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: and a half. But near the end of that he 185 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: gave one of his best quotes I felt, because he 186 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: was asked by I believe it was Jim Mozarski from 187 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: The Journal Sentinel about you know, if he sees any 188 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: parallels between Metcalf and Calvin Johnson, and he's like, you know, 189 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: for as big as Metcalf is and he's big and 190 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: he's fast, Calvin Johnson was bigger. I mean, that just 191 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: gives you an idea of what kind of talent he 192 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: was and how difficult he was to defend. But at 193 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: the very end of that, he said, there are comparables 194 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: between those two guys, and I just think with Metcalf, 195 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: he's such a great story. I wrote this an inbox too. 196 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: He's a guy that I think I personally have always 197 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: kind of pushed for a little bit because I don't 198 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: know if I can remember a player with no off 199 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: the field issues, no character flaws. There wasn't any of 200 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: those type of questions that caused him to fall. It 201 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: was just this incredible scrutiny that was placed on his game, 202 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: and you know, maybe a little bit more sensitive to 203 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: this because I just did that Alan Lazard story three 204 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and Lazard talked about, you know, when you're 205 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: six five, the challenges of proving the teams that you 206 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: are a receiver and that you can be accountable there 207 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: and that you have the speed and you have the 208 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: speed to do it. And DK Metcalf who everybody said 209 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: couldn't run routes. They were showing these videos of all 210 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: this is an impressive route running, or he's not fast enough, 211 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: and here he is making a huge impact and is 212 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: a big reason why Seattle has made it to this 213 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: place in the playoffs. I'm excited to watch him play. 214 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see how the Packers match up with 215 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: him because I think when you look at the difference makers, 216 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: the playmakers with Seattle's offense for the first time in 217 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: a long time, it starts with the receiver position. It 218 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: starts with him. Yeah, well, when you look at some 219 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: matchups on the other side of the ball, Bobby Wagner, 220 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: kJ Wright, couple of linebackers who have been doing it 221 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: for a long time for Seattle. There, Bobby Wagner certainly 222 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: the you know, the heart and soul of of that 223 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: defense and has been so for a long time now. 224 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: The Packers are going to get Aaron Jones Jamal Williams 225 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: going in the running game. If they want to get 226 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: those running backs going in the passing game, It's about 227 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: finding way to get those linebackers blocked because because right 228 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: in Wagner, those two guys can you know, whatever it 229 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: is fifty three yards wide, is the field or whatever 230 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: the measurements, they can cover the whole thing sideline to sideline, 231 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: as the saying goes, and I think, uh, um, those 232 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: are the two guys the Packers have got to uh 233 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: They've got to get them blocked to get Jones and 234 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: Williams involved to the extent I think that Matt Lafleur 235 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: is gonna want to get them involved. Yeah, and you mentioned, 236 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, all the changes and how different this Seattle 237 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 1: team is from some of the ones we've seen in 238 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: the past. The one consistent factor throughout the two thousand 239 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: tens in the decades was just really high level caliber 240 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: play at middle linebacker. Certainly Wagner and right are a 241 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: big part of that reason. But what impresses me the 242 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: most when you look at Wagner's game is we're talking 243 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: about a guy that's now in his eighth NFL season. 244 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: In this day and age, it is getting more and 245 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: more difficult to be a high impact player at middle 246 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: linebacker into your eighth, ninth, tenth season. It's just with 247 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: the speed of the position, the speed of the game. 248 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: There's just certain things that you see certain guys step 249 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: up in their first rookie contract and almost sort of 250 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: like a running back, they just can't sustain that level 251 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: play into their late twenties and thirty and the whole 252 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: proliferation of sub packages and everything else where. You know, 253 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: guys are always looking for a specialist to fill in 254 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: here or there and whatever. As you said, Bobby Wagner 255 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: is the constant. And when that Seattle defense, Yeah, when 256 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: you can defend the nickel or the past and a 257 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: true nickel, that's a real that's an advantage for a 258 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: defense right now with the way the game is structured. 259 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 1: But for Wagner to come back, him and you know, 260 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: Blake Martinez were right there with each other all year 261 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: long for the tackle lead in the NFL. Wagner ends 262 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: up getting it a hundred I just he is he's 263 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: a difference maker. And seeing how I wrote it an 264 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: inbox today, I just feel like this game has to 265 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: start on the ground for Green Bay. I threw out 266 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: those statistics. When you look at Aaron Jones and Jamal 267 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: Williams when they rush for a hundred yards, the Packers 268 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: are undefeated this season, they're six and oh, that number 269 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: becomes seven and oh, if you want to throw in 270 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones going for a hundred fifty nine receiving yards 271 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: against Kansas City, the offense when they produce the Packers win, 272 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: and seeing if they can penetrate that front and get 273 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: those middle linebackers moving to whether it is through the 274 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: pass or the run, that is just I think it's 275 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: such a huge task that the Packers need to accomplish 276 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: in this game for it to go the direction they 277 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: needed to. Yeah. Well, we also mentioned did jadeveon Clowney yesterday? 278 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: And I apologize I meant to look up before we 279 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: came in here, But is Clowney primarily going to be 280 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: over Brian Blaga or Yeah, that's sort of been the 281 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: way he lines up on their left side, right, Yeah, 282 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: it's really when he was in Houston, they just would 283 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: put him anywhere. Yeah, they moved him all over the place. 284 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: I drew those comparisons with the Dairy Smith. I mean, 285 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: you look at how much the Darius played off the 286 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage this year. It's pretty uh emblematic of 287 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: what Clowney did in Houston. He was really effective in 288 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: that role. But yeah, they were doing that in Houston 289 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: with Clowney and Watton Merciless and you know, and and 290 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: Shuffle and those guys around all the time. But he 291 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: seems to be a little bit more predominantly on one 292 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: side the defense has left the offense is right. I 293 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: think Bilaga is the one who's going to see the 294 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: Lions share of the work, so to speak, against Clowney 295 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: on Sundays. Yeah, Clowney is such a funny player because 296 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: if you look at him this year, thirteen start or 297 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: thirteen games, eleven starts, he only had three sex. He 298 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: actually had more forced fumbles than he did sacks this 299 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: year with four, also through an interception for a touchdown. 300 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: But as a number of pundits and analysts had pointed 301 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: out from that game against Philadelphia, I mean, you want 302 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: to talk about that defensive performance and why the Seahawks 303 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: were able to dominate the way they did and really 304 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: keep the Eagles out of the end zone. It starts 305 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: with Jadeveon Clowney. Now he will rush both sides. I mean, 306 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: they do still flip flop those guys. I think in 307 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: this day and age, you really it's difficult just to 308 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: key in at one spot because of the attention that 309 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: you know potentially the the offense is going to give you. 310 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: But all that being said, I feel like this final 311 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: stretch of the year, after he worked through some injuries, 312 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you're seeing a guy that that was the 313 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: first overall pick, that was maybe the most highly touted 314 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: defensive prospect entering the NFL since I don't know, maybe 315 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: going back to two thousand two with Mario Williams. There's 316 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: just so many people that were high on him. And 317 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: while he's never had like that nineteen sacks season, he's 318 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: just been a consistent performer and he doesn't in a 319 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: multitude of different ways. Packers have an very interesting week 320 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: they have to go through here with the offensive line. 321 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: They're kind of battling a little bit of an illness bug. 322 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: They were able to get Bloga back at practice on Monday. 323 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: He's still in the concussion protocol from what I understand, 324 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: but the fact that he's out there and with any setbacks, 325 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: you would hope that he'll be on the field on 326 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: Sunday because having him and David Baker in a game 327 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: like this, I mean you could as you tip your 328 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: captain Jared Valdier a very ad morble performance that he 329 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: had against the Lions. But box Tr and Bolag are 330 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: the reason why the Packers have made it to this 331 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: point of the season and being as effective as they've 332 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: been on the offensive line. Box Tr also welcoming in 333 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: a new left guard in in Elton Jenkins. At the 334 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: right guard, it's been Billy Turner moving in next to Bilaga. 335 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: The way that those guys have galvanized that offensive line, 336 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: it's been so critical that success. And if you're gonna 337 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: be able to hold up against this Seattle front, you're 338 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: gonna need those two on the field. Yeah. I couldn't 339 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: agree more certainly. There. I want to back up for 340 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: one second, though, because I neglected one thing with regards 341 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: to the Packers defense matching up against the Seattle offense. 342 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: We saw in the wild card game. The Seahawks upfront 343 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: offensively had a really, really hard time with Fletcher Cox 344 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, they're not the first offensive line 345 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: in the world to have a hard time with Fletcher 346 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: clock Cox. He does that to a lot of people. 347 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: But my question for you, Wes is seeing what number 348 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: ninety one for Philadelphia did in that wild hard game, 349 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: what do you think that means for say Kenny Clark 350 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: or for Zadarius Smith. With the way Mike Petton has 351 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: been moving him inside to attack on the interior at 352 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: certain times, what do you think what do you think 353 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: that means or or what might we be seeing come 354 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: Sunday in terms of that type of match up. Well, 355 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: and it depends, you know, if Mikeya Potti is going 356 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: to be able to play in this game. That's been 357 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: sort of the question mark. The veteran guard was not 358 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: available against the Eagles in the wild card round, but 359 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: some early reports were indicating even when he was ruled 360 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: out for the Eagles game that if the Seahawks advanced, 361 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: they were expecting him to be available for Round two. Yeah, 362 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: it was a big loss. Earlier this season, they lost 363 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: Justin Britt, who had settled in at their center spot 364 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: for the last few seasons. Joey Hunt I believe it 365 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: was a former four or six or seventh round pick 366 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: for them. Has been sort of like there, Lucas Patrick, 367 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: He's been in the you know, the practice squad and 368 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: on the roster for the past two years. He's been 369 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: the guy that's settled in there. But the film is 370 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: what it is, and there was a lot of disruption 371 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: that was caused by Fletcher Cox and what Philadelphia was 372 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: able to do in the middle. And I've always said, 373 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: if you want to know, not really a blueprint, because 374 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: anything can change it in any given week. But I 375 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: mean the history is when you can pressure Russell Wilson 376 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: from up front, not only does that make it more 377 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: difficult for him to escape the pocket, it doesn't allow 378 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: him to step into throws when he needs to make 379 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: them from the pocket. I really believe, Mike, this game 380 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: has to be about Kenny Clark, Dean Lowry and Zadarius Smith, 381 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: what kind of disruption they cause, and also how they're 382 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,479 Speaker 1: able to stay fundamentally sound in their rushes to not 383 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: get beat on the other side of that, because if 384 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: you do lose containment, Russell Wilson will go up the 385 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: middle of the field and he will burn you for 386 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: ten to fifteen yards at any given time. That is 387 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: going to be such a huge challenge I think for them. 388 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: But when you see what Philadelphia did with Fletcher Cox, 389 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: who at this point in time, I put him right 390 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: up there with Kenny Clark, right put Kenny Clark up 391 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: there with Fletcher Cox, I should say I agree. I 392 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: just think there is a plan in a formula for 393 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: what Mike Petton can do to make life as difficult 394 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: as it possible for Russell Wilson in the middle of 395 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: the field. Okay, one last thing to throw at you 396 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: here before we go. I mentioned at the top of 397 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: the show the Seattle Seahawks eight and one on the 398 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: road this year, seven and one in the regular season, 399 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: they win the wild card game on the road. They've 400 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: got this whole road warrior mentality going. Packers are seven 401 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: and one at lambeau Field. The last eight Packers Seahawks 402 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: games and thirteen of the last fourteen Packers Seahawks games 403 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: have been won by the home team. Do you think 404 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: it means anything? Um, I think that the latter stat 405 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: does the home field advantage because I think both of 406 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: these teams historically, not just this season, have played well 407 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: to their home stadium. I mean, you can talk to 408 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: Mason Crosby about the advantages of a kicker knowing what 409 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: it's like to be in Lambeau and in the quarterback 410 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: of the defense, and when you get this crowd going 411 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: for meaningful games, what that does for this roster and 412 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: how difficult that can be for an opponent, and certainly 413 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: Century Link that goes without saying, so I understand the 414 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: challenge for both teams going into the other stadium. Now, 415 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: this might be the pessimist in me, but a lot 416 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: of people will look at the seven and one now 417 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: eight in one record for Seattle and they'll say, I 418 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: mean the road Warriors, and they are the proof is there. 419 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: But I always look at that as a disadvantage going 420 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: into this, much like I kind of looked at the 421 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: Packers going into US Bank. You know, it's kind of 422 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: disadvantage at times too. One Green Bay is a much 423 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: different place to play in with the weather. If it 424 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: can be in the twenties, if there's maybe a little 425 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: bit of snow, that's a game changer, especially for a 426 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: Seattle team that hasn't been able to consistently run the 427 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: ball since Chris Carson got hurt. But more importantly than that, 428 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: it's really difficult to go eight in one as a 429 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: road team. It's even more difficult to go nine in one. 430 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: So I think there's probably a glass half empty, half 431 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: full approach to how you got to view that number, 432 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: because sometimes while it does look like it's a team 433 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: that can handle that, there is another side of it 434 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: that says, this is a team that might be due 435 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: for a our performance on the road too. Well, there's 436 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: one thing we definitely do know about both of these teams, 437 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: and that is that they know how to win close games. 438 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: The Seattle Seahawks have won eleven games with a margin 439 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: of eight points or less this year. The Packers of 440 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: won eight of their victories with a margin of eight 441 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: points or less. So these teams they know what it 442 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: takes to win close games in the fourth quarter. And certainly, 443 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: if wild Card weekend was any indication we're gonna have 444 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: a four quarter game on our hands, it's gonna be 445 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: a dogfight. I don't see any other way around it. 446 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: We're always talking with John Coon about this in the 447 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: locker room when we're kind of like breaking down this 448 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: matchup and what you know, those exact numbers too, of 449 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: how colmony one score games these two teams have been in. 450 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't anticipated being a blow out either way. And 451 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: the thing that makes it the most captivating is the 452 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: one score games. I understand how those can go either 453 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: way depending on a play here there. You know, maybe 454 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: a lucky bounce, but there is something you learn about 455 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: yourself and there's a confidence in a swagger that comes 456 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: with it when you are on the winning end of that. 457 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: So many times, I think so too. A real argument 458 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: can be made these are the most forged teams in 459 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: the NFL when it comes to fourth quarter football and 460 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: seeing what that battle looks like as nightfalls on lambeau 461 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: Field on Sunday night, It's gonna be really exciting to watch. Yeah, 462 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: I think so, and we'll this is the topic I 463 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: think we'll revisit as the week goes along here, but 464 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: for now, we're going to call it a wrap on 465 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: this edition of Packers Unscripted.
