1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com. 2 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford, joined as always by my trusted 3 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: colleague West Hodkuits. We're coming to you here from our 4 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: studios at lambeau Field West. It is our Friday show, 5 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: our last show of the week, and I actually should 6 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: begin this show with a little programming note. With the 7 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: Packers going on their bye week after the Monday night 8 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: game against the San Francisco forty Niners, we are going 9 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: to go dark for about a week because West has 10 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: some time off, I have some time off, and instead 11 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: of having one of us sit here at the desk 12 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: and talk to the camera, we're just gonna take a 13 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: bit of a break and we will be back with 14 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: more Packers Unscripted after the bye weekend. So all of 15 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: that out of the way, West, there is a game 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: Monday night at lambeau Field Packers again, it's the forty 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: Niners and it's our Keys to Victory show. So where 18 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: do you want to start with this one? I'm gonna 19 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: go to something that we talked about it this week, 20 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: but I thought Kyle Shanahan had his conference call with 21 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: Packers reporters on Thursday and to be honest with you, Mike, 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: and and I've been doing this now for six seven, 23 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: eight years with these conference calls, it was probably one 24 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: of the best I think I've been a part of 25 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: in terms of an opposing coach. He hit it right 26 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: on the head. It comes down to takeaways, and it 27 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: comes down to giveaways and right now, that is what's 28 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: really hurting his football team. Now, it would be really easy, 29 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: as he said, you know, they look at the situation 30 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: they're in. They lose Jerick McKinnon, they lose Jimmy Garoppolo. 31 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: They don't know if they're gonna have that breeder this week. 32 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: But the fact is they have to protect the football 33 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: and they have not done a good job of that 34 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Minus eight and termin over 35 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: differential after that loss against Arizona played a big role 36 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: in then falling behind and and losing that game. And 37 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: on the same token, the Green Bay Packers, Mike McCarthy 38 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: talked about it all week. They have to do a 39 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: better job of protecting the football. It's the number one 40 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: thing in this matchup. Who is the team that wins 41 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: the turnover margin, wins the turnover battle. I think that's 42 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: a team that leaves landbou Field with the victory. Yeah. 43 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: I think that's what it comes down to as well, 44 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: based on what these two teams are now focusing on, 45 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: and with the Packers, it's not only protecting the football, 46 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: but it's finding some more ways to take the football away. 47 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: On defense, now, you can get yourself in trouble a 48 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: little bit. You know. I talked to Tremont Williams about 49 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: this the other day in the locker room, because I've 50 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: heard from over the years from guys like Nick Collins, 51 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: Charles Woodson, when a defense is not getting the turnovers 52 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 1: that it wants, you can have a tendency to try 53 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: to chase and make things happen, and that's where you 54 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: get in trouble. And I think Tremont Williams, a veteran 55 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: presence in that secondary, knows that you can't try to 56 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: force it with the turnovers, at least in terms of 57 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: interceptions and whatnot, because if if you blow your assignment 58 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: because you're chasing a place somewhere else, that can really 59 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: really get the defense in trouble. So you have to 60 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: be careful there. But that being said, he also talked about, 61 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, gang tackling to the ball, get to where 62 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: you're holding up that ball carrier, that receiver, and then 63 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: it in there and try to strip the ball out. 64 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: You know, the first guy who gets there can't try 65 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: to strip the ball out because that's how you miss tackles. 66 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: But it's it's a team effort here. And I'll be 67 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: curious to see just how the Packers sort of put 68 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: all of that focus and emphasis into practice on Monday night. Yeah, 69 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: and I'm glad you brought that up too, because again 70 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: the forty niners are dealing with the same thing. They 71 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: only have one interception this season. Uh And as you 72 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: know Kyle Shanahan was talking about, Yeah, they've they've given 73 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: the ball away too much, but they haven't gotten enough 74 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: takeaways to make up for it either. So uh, that 75 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 1: that is the big thing we heard it all these years. 76 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: Darren Perry used to talk about it too. You have 77 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: to be you know, fundamental, You have to trust your 78 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: technique and make the plays when they're available to you 79 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: and not you know, leave your your place on the 80 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: field just to you know, seek glory. So uh, I've 81 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: seen exactly how that shuffles out. Is gonna be really 82 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: interesting to watch. And then conversely for the Packers defense, 83 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: I mean, the stats don't line Mike. Last week they 84 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: had for all four their outside rushers were not able 85 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback, and they got a change 86 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: that this week. C J. Beathard has two fumbles lost, 87 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: he's had four interceptions. You can there is an opportunity 88 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: there if you can get some pressure on him. We 89 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: talked about it last week with Matthew Stafford. The type 90 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: of quarterback he is, you need to keep his feet hot. 91 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: They were not able to do that. He was able 92 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: to make enough plays. Now you look at this matchup 93 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: with San Francisco, it's going to be imperative for them 94 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: to rush that play cock because they are a very 95 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: unconventional offense with how they use their tight end, how 96 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: they use their fullback, and they're going to continue to 97 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: do things a little bit unusual with all the other 98 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: injuries that they've occurred at their other skill positions. Yeah, 99 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: when you talk about turnovers, the way you create bad 100 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: throws in this league is with pressure, with disrupting the quarterback. Obviously, 101 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: the Packers had some issues earlier in the year with 102 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: the roughing the passer and all that. We don't need 103 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: to revisit that. But when you when you can get 104 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: when you can get the quarterback off the spot, when 105 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: you can hurry him, when you can disrupt his timing, 106 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: that's when the throws become errant. That's when a throw 107 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: goes behind the receiver or above a receipt you know, 108 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: too high, and then your defensive back is there with 109 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: a chance to get his hands on the ball and 110 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: make a play. So that's how these things are going 111 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: to happen. But in terms of maybe some more of 112 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: those fundamentals on defense, I see this one as you 113 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: have to find a way to contain George Kittle this 114 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: tight end for the San Francisco forty Niners. He leads 115 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: them in past receptions and yardage by a pretty significant margin. 116 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: Now they find different ways to get him the ball. 117 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: He's not just a middle scene guy at tight end. 118 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: He'll run corner routes, they'll run screens for him, They'll 119 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: run him anywhere on the field in order to get 120 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: him the ball. He's becoming a pretty dynamic playmaker for them. 121 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: I think if you can, if you can contain Kittle 122 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: in the passing game, I think Bethard might have some difficulty, 123 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: you know, finding a consistent rhythm with his offense because 124 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: I think he really relies on this title. I thought 125 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 1: this was probably one of the better questions I've received 126 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: this season. On Insider Inbox this week, somebody asking how 127 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: many players have entered the league. Uh, you know, it's 128 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: in the same draft class, the same Combo and Iowa 129 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: that they were being able to reunite with the San 130 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners. I didn't really think of many. The one, 131 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: I guess kind of came to mind was like Casey 132 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: Hayward in Sean Richardson, I guess, I mean, if you 133 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: really want to dig deep, Andy Malumba and Alex Gillette 134 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: came in the same class. Is there anyone that you 135 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: that you thought of when you're well with the Packers 136 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: and their Stanford guys Martinez and Murphy were drafted. Now, 137 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: that's different sides of the ball. That's one guy on defense, 138 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: one guy on offense. But yeah, it is. I mean, 139 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: there are a handful around the league. But I think 140 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: what's unique about this is that it's a quarterback pass catcher, 141 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: you know, quarterback tight end combination here that these guys 142 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: played together. They're they're doing exactly together what they did 143 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: in college, you know what they're doing now in the NFL. Yeah, 144 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: And it's just it's it's so interesting too because listen 145 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: to Kyle Shanahan talked. The thing that they really like 146 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: about Kittle is, Okay, you can look at his receiving 147 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: yards this year, you can look at his production last 148 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: year when he kind of jumped on the scene, but 149 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: it's what he does when he does not getting the ball. 150 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: They feel like he's a traditional, you know, blocker in 151 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: that position. He does all the little things you want 152 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: right out of the tight end. He seems like he's 153 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: on pace to become a real big playmaker in this league. 154 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: And certainly they have a familiar with with Bethard he 155 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: started i think five six games whatever it was last year. 156 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: He has that rapport with Kittle. It seems like he's 157 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: been able to generate that rapport with the with the 158 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: guys around him in that offensive front and seeing what 159 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: he can do to generate those opportunities against the Packers defense. 160 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: Is I think ultimately going to be what the forty 161 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: Niners are looking to accomplish in this game. The Packers 162 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: task is that, Okay, if you do have Kevin King available. 163 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: It looks like he's gonna be good to go despite 164 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: the chin injury. You have maybe potentially JayR Alexander back. 165 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: Sounds like the Packers are high on him. You know. 166 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: Bashad Brylan's practicing this week. Jermaine Whitehead came back this week. 167 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: He could be a really important piece to this If 168 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: you have all your weapons available in the secondary, that's 169 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: gonna be the easiest way for this Packers defense to 170 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: be able to come back. Kittle. Yeah. Well, the other 171 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: the other thing that I see as a big key 172 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: to this game, and really it applies to both sides 173 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: the ball for the Packers, and that's penalties. And we've 174 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: been talking about it during the week how the Packers 175 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: have been hurting themselves with penalty season West. You know, 176 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: you look at these two road losses, which are really 177 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: kind of the sore thumb type of games, you know 178 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: here for the Packers Washington and Detroit. In Washington, on 179 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, you had the one 180 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: drive with just kind of the slew of past interference 181 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: defensive holding where everybody's technique kind of went out the 182 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: window on one drive and just handed Washington, a whole 183 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: bunch of yards on the offensive side of the ball. 184 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: In that game, you had a bunch of penalties as 185 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: well that were affecting down and distance. The Packers sitting 186 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: in second and twenty and third longs and all that 187 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: because of penalties putting them behind the sticks. Then you 188 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: go to the Detroit game. The penalties on special teams 189 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: affected field position throughout that game. The Packers starting so 190 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: many drives at the twelve or the fifteen yard line 191 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: because of penalties on special things. One wiping out a 192 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: big long kickoff return that would have been a potential 193 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: momentum shift there for Green Bay. And then the penalties 194 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: on the defensive side. You had a face mask, you 195 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: had a taunting. You know, these fifteen yard chunks that 196 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: you're handing the other team with the yellow flags. If 197 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: the Packers can clean up the technique and just clean 198 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: up that part of their game, I think they make 199 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: their own lives so much easier because they're gonna make 200 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: life more difficult for their opponent. And here's the thing, Mike, 201 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: you know this, I know this. No team in the 202 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: history of the National Football League has ever gone a 203 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: season without a penalty. They happen. They're gonna catch some 204 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: bad breaks. Clay Matthews caught a brad break Lane Taylor 205 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: on his holding call, which to me still looks like 206 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: a pancake all those weeks ago. Was a bad break. 207 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: Those situations are going to happen. But it's the ones 208 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: that you can control. Taunting penalties to some extent, the 209 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: unnecessary roughness stuff to some extent, and there's a varying 210 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: degree of definition on that now. But but blocking in 211 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: the back on a party kickoff return, that's an avoidable penalty. 212 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: That that that's about discipline, and those kinds of things 213 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: can't continue to happen because putting Aaron Rodgers on the 214 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: thirty yard line versus putting them on the fifteen yard line, 215 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: the percentages of a scoring drive go way up. I mean, 216 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: it's it's like you know the Revolutionary War, right, Do 217 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: you want to have your cannon ball at the back 218 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: of the line. Do you want to have it out 219 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: in the front. Honestly, you want to have that thing 220 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: on the front. You want to make some noise. That's 221 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: the thing that Aaron Rodgers gives you. You can give 222 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: them feel position. We've seen it, Mike, you can go 223 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: back over the years since two thousand nine, at least 224 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: the times in which the Packers have gotten the ball 225 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers off a turnover on defense, How often 226 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: that equates two points? How often that equates to victory. 227 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: The same thing holds true on special teams. And you 228 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: look at the years like thirteen and fourteen, some of 229 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: the players that Micah Hyde made, some of the plays 230 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: that you know, uh, you know Trevor Davis made last year, 231 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 1: and these returns, time Montgomery has had his moments. Those 232 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: things all help your bottom line. So, yeah, it's something 233 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: you have to clean up. I know it's gonna be 234 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: heavy emphasis. Fundamentals are so important to this team, in 235 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: this franchise, So you would think that that's something that 236 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: the Packers are really heavily preaching this week as they 237 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: go into a game against the San fran Francisco forty Niners, 238 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: which I'm always hesitant to call anything I must win 239 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: in the first eight weeks of the season because of 240 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: two thousand and sixteen in particular, but it is a 241 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,599 Speaker 1: critical game at a critical time that could change the 242 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: narrative going into this bye week. Yeah, I agree with you. 243 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: I think this is this is as close to a 244 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: must win as you get in the middle of October, 245 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: just based on where the Packers are right now, the 246 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: way they've had their ups and downs, the way they're playing, 247 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: and then with what you have on the schedule coming 248 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: up after the bye week. Now, we heard from quarterback 249 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers after practice on Thursday, and he didn't make 250 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: any you know, grand run the Table pronouncements or anything 251 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: like that, but he did say he doesn't feel like 252 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: this team is that far off and and what he 253 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: feels and it's another thing that we've talked about that 254 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: everybody in the Packers locker room has talked about, is 255 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: getting past these slow starts and starting games faster. And 256 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: Rogers basically said something very similar to what he said 257 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: two years ago in the whole run the Table thing 258 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: late in is that if the offense gets off to 259 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: a faster start and can take a lead, can get 260 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: points on the board early, everything about the whole outlook 261 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: with the rest of the team changes. Then the offense 262 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: isn't playing from behind the defense. With the lead, You've 263 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: got Mike Petton and all of his different personnel combinations 264 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: and and potential blitz packages that you could send at 265 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Aaron Rodgers said, this offense needs to lead 266 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: from out in front. He's putting it on himself. He's 267 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: putting it on the offense to be the leading unit 268 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: of this team right from the get go on Monday Night, 269 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: and if they can get that accomplished, then that potentially 270 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: becomes the formula for how you try to win some 271 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: of these road games down the road. Yeah. He even 272 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: used the Brewers as an analogy with that, saying that 273 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: that's they're a great example of a team that just 274 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: let momentum carry then they built some up and they 275 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: got rolling. And that is one of the most powerful 276 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: elixers in this game, is if you can get you know, 277 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: momentum on your side and just get that inner confidence going. 278 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: The thing I really like. There's two things I liked 279 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: about one Rogers comments and also going back to what 280 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan talked about. First, starting with Rogers, He's right, 281 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: I wish we had more time that you and I 282 00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: could go back and look to see the when the 283 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: Packers get the ball in that first offensive possession, they 284 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: score and they get a first down, how often that 285 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: equates to points and how often that translates to victory, 286 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: because it just does seem like when they start fast, 287 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: everything hits on the right cylinders, the water on the 288 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: sideline taste sweeter, everybody's feeling better in the conditions just 289 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: seemed perfect for for a victory. But on the other 290 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: side of it, I thought Kyle Shanahan was just heat 291 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: praise on Mike Petton, saying that this guy is one 292 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: of the best defensive coordinators there is. They don't get 293 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: much better than him. And to be honest with you, Mike, 294 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: I know there's been some ups and downs here in 295 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: these first five six weeks, but as I mentioned earlier 296 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: this week, Packers right now are fourth in total defense. 297 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: You know that their second against the past. I mean, 298 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: they're doing things right despite not everyone always being available, 299 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: despite the pass rush not always getting home. There are 300 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: enough playmakers on that defense in enough you know, scheme 301 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: to allow them to to fully sort of reach their 302 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: potential that they've kept the Packers in these games, win loser, tie. 303 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: They haven't been just completely blown out of the water. 304 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: They've always had a chance until the very end, and 305 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: that is a credit to Mike Petton in the way 306 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: that the defense has responded to certain situations. Yeah, to me, 307 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: the defense has had really one rough stretch of the season, 308 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: and it was really from the start of about the 309 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: start of the fourth quarter of the Minnesota game through 310 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: the first half of the Washington game. Other than that, 311 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: you look at the point. You look at the points allowed, 312 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: the points in the opening game against the Chicago Bears. 313 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: A lot of that was by turnovers the offense created. Uh, 314 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: the offense giving the ball away, same thing in Detroit, 315 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: the turnovers that gave the Lions short fields and opportunities 316 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: to score points. This this defense has played some pretty 317 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: darn good football, with the exception of I would say 318 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: four quarters the fourth quarter of the overtime in Minnesota 319 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: and the first two quarters in Washington. Now, you can't 320 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: fall back into another one of those ruts, you can. 321 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: You have to you have to build on what you 322 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: have to get done. Yeah, you have to build on 323 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: what the defense is on. And I think part of 324 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: Rogers point is they really will get an opportunity to 325 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: build on what they've done if the offense is leading 326 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: from the front and giving them a lead to work with, 327 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: especially into the second and third quarter. And let's be real, Mike, 328 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners. They just they aren't right 329 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: now the creme de la crema that division. The Packers 330 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: are gonna see it in about two and a half weeks. 331 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: Right now with the Los Angeles Rams, one of the 332 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: most high point, high scoring offenses in the league, You're 333 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: going up against a backup quarterback, likely a third string 334 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: running back depending on whether or not Braid is able 335 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: to play in a team that in essence has had 336 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: its share of ups and downs. If you're the Packers 337 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: and you're at home, you have to set the tone 338 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: with that. You have to defensively take this opportunity to 339 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: continue to build on that performance because there's a jugger 340 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: not waiting for you down the line. I'm not saying 341 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: you look past the San Francisco forty Niners, but you've 342 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: got to take care of business in this game because 343 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna need your best effort to go into the 344 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: l A Coliseum and come up with a win in 345 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: two weeks. Yeah, I agree with you totally there, Weston, 346 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: speaking of taking care our business, when we look at 347 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: what's going on elsewhere in the NFL. Here in Week six, 348 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: Packers and Vikings are tied at two two and one 349 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: for second place in the NFC North, behind the Chicago Bears, 350 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: who are three and one only have four games in 351 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: the books. They're coming off there by. Chicago an interesting game. 352 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: They're going down to Miami. Now Chicago is coming off 353 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: the by, they've got their rest. A couple of weeks ago, 354 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: Miami was three and one and lining up for a 355 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: game against the Patriots team that had lost a couple 356 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: of games, and everybody was wondering just where things were 357 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: headed in the NFC East. Well, the Patriots took care 358 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: of business against the Dolphins, and then the Dolphins went 359 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: to Cincinnati and kind of stunk up the field quite 360 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: frankly in giving one away to the Bengals. So now 361 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Miami is three and three and 362 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: they're fighting to to keep their season afloat in that 363 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: NFC East with the Patriots starting to catch fire a 364 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: little bit. An interesting game here with Chicago going down 365 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: to Miami. Obviously, Vikings, Vikings and Packers fans will be 366 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: rooting for Miami to hand Chicago a second law. Yeah, 367 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: they'll be cheering for Adam Gays in this one. The 368 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: other thing I enjoyed too, I'm kind of like Pavlov's dog. Now. 369 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: So when you're like, oh, it's time to care, I 370 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: thought were going into a sponsor read when you're like, oh, 371 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: we gotta talk about some business here, Like I was 372 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: just already zoned into that. But that being said, Friday's 373 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: I get to skip. Yeah, there's no sponsors, just business. Uh, 374 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: you're right. This is a really important game for Adam 375 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: Gaze and in the Dolphins, trying to show that, Okay, 376 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: we got off to a really strong start. We are 377 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: this team. It wasn't by coincidence, it wasn't by fluke. 378 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: But now they're taking on a Chicago Bears team that 379 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: the you know, there's kind of whistling a different tune 380 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: at this point and kind of feeling good about where 381 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: they're at sands the last thirty minutes of that game 382 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: against the Packers. So that's gonna be a big one here, 383 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: the Packers. The a FC really needs to help out 384 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: Green Bay a little bit here. When you look at 385 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: you know, Packers are gonna have a tough match up 386 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: with you know, New England and some other matchups. Obviously 387 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna get Miami at home. You're going into the 388 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: New York at the end of the season and winter, 389 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: so's it's a it's a very heavy second half of 390 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: the schedule for them. So yeah, if you can have 391 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: Miami come out there and maybe get a big win 392 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: over Chicago here you know, knocked them down a few pegs. 393 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: But personally, Mike, I mean this this where things stand 394 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: right now with Minnesota from here on out, I'm gonna 395 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: be really interested to watch because you know, now Arizona, 396 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: even though you know they still I think are in 397 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: most power rankings, are considered near the bottom. So were 398 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills when they went to the US Bank stadiums. 399 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: So if Josh Schrosen leading that thing, can they get 400 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: David Johnson going all big questions? And certainly I do 401 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: think they have a defense that can compete. It's just 402 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: a question of what they're going to get offensively. Yeah. Well, 403 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: with with Arizona going into Minneapolis to face the Vikings, 404 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: I'll just say this, if, if, if the Vikings lose 405 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: this game, I will give up trying to figure out 406 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: anything about that team, because because let's face it, the 407 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: Vikings are better than the Buffalo Bills. And you know, 408 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: if there if there was a day where you know, 409 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: I mean, anybody can have a bad day. Maybe you 410 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: overlook an opponent. I don't like to say that too 411 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: much in the NFL because I really think that's overused 412 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: at times. But the Vikings are not going to get 413 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: caught by an underdog at home again. I just don't. 414 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: I just don't see that. Now, if the Cardinals do, 415 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: then the Vikings are going to be reeling a little 416 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: bit because they're gonna be like, what in the world 417 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: is going on here? Because because that US Bank Stadium 418 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: is supposed to be a pretty darn tough place to play. 419 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: It's been a tough place to play for the Packers 420 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: since it was built. But Minnesota looking at this as 421 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: well as okay, this, this is there. You know, they 422 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: beat the defending Super Bowl champions last week on the road. 423 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: Minnesota is not like, Okay, we get our next win, 424 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: we get above five hundred and here we go. We're 425 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: going to make our charge to defend the division type. Yeah, 426 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: it's one of these things that Minnesota loses. You kind 427 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: of are what you are at this point at two 428 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: three and one. I think another team we were talking 429 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: about Philadelphia last week, Well, they get a chance to 430 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: go up against the Giants and they take care of business. 431 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: They're back to three and three. I don't think anyone 432 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: has any illusions about, you know, them not being the 433 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: team that everybody thought they were. They just need to 434 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: get a victory. Minnesota is in the same you know 435 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: situation right now. In general, I think this is an 436 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: important week. I know it seems like a five weeks 437 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: before this, I've talked about you know, this importance and 438 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: pulling away and kind of getting out to a good 439 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: fast start. But you know, Kansas City against New England 440 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: is a big game. That was Pittsburgh's trying to rally back, 441 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, and go up against Cincinnati. Bengals are four 442 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 1: and one and they get the Steelers at home. That's 443 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: a that's a big game in the a f C North, 444 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: they're trying to lay siege to that division. And and 445 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: me personally, I think the game I'm most interested to 446 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: watch is Tampa Bay in Atlanta. Atlanta desperately needs a 447 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: victory right now, one one and four for the Falcons 448 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: through five games right to change the direction of their season. 449 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: In Tampa Bay, things have kind of gone south quick 450 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: after the first two games of this year, so it's 451 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: a really important week. But first and foremost the Green 452 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: Bay Packers Monday Night Football San Francisco forty niners with 453 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: the by on the horizon, I gotta do it, yeah, 454 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: real quick? What do you think about that? What everyone's 455 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: calling an a f C playoff preview there between the 456 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Patriots. What do you think they're It's 457 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: a big test in Foxborough. It's a big test because 458 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: the game changes. You know what it's like in Foxborough. 459 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: It's not I'm not trying to make sounds like it's 460 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: Century Link, but there's just a different feel there. You 461 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: and I both bet headsets will probably go out at 462 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: some point. Good um no, But Kansas City, man, they're 463 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: giving up points and they're scoring points. What's gonna give here? 464 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,479 Speaker 1: Is it going to be the forty one year old 465 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: you know, Tom Brady, five time Super Bowl champion? Or 466 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: is it gonna be this this enigma in what you 467 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: look at Patrick Mahomes has done earlier this season. It's 468 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: a really exciting matchup. Unfortunately, I don't know if I'm 469 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: gonna be able to watch it on Sunday evening, But 470 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: that being said, I'll be really interested to see what 471 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: the outcome is yeah, alright. Well, with that, we will 472 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: call it a wrap on this edition of Packers Unscripted 473 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: and remind you as well we will be off four 474 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: about a week, coming back after the Packers by weekend. 475 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: But with that. On Twitter, he's at West Hot I'm 476 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: at Mike Spofford at Packers for the team account. Thanks 477 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 1: for tuning in everybody. We will see you next time.
