1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Packers Unscripted from 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: Packers dot com. I am Mike Spofford, joined as always 3 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: by my trusted colleague West Hodko. It's coming to you 4 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: here from our studios at lambeau Field and West. This 5 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: is the final week of the Packers off season program, 6 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: final week of O t a S. As a result, 7 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: this is also our final show. I guess you could 8 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: say of the off season. We will be back when 9 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: training camp rolls around. But wrapping up the off season 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: here this final week, veterans essentially excused from the on 11 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: field O t a work, So this week is one 12 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: that is very much focused on the young players on 13 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: this uh. This Packers ninety man roster and UH just 14 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: another opportunity for young guys to get their feet under them, 15 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: to learn the playbook a little bit more, to get 16 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: ready for we're training camp when they will be fighting 17 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: for those roster spots. Absolutely, and I want to talk 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: about Jordan's Love. I want to talk about Josh Meyers. 19 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: I want to talk about Eric Stokes and all these 20 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: young guys. I got a chance to get some reps 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: during these three days of O t S. But before 22 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: we get there. I want to talk about Aaron Jones 23 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: for a minute now. This is voluntary. Guys were excused. 24 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur even said it a couple of weeks ago, 25 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: if you participate in the virtual portion of this week, 26 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: you'll still get credit for being here. I believe that 27 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: was one of the things he mentioned. So Aaron Jones 28 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: was excused. And it's not that Aaron Jones is there, 29 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: he's making a statement. This is I just want to 30 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: offer this into evidence for exactly why the Green Bay 31 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: Packers made it such an emphasis to resign this young 32 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: man back in March. Because running backs it's a tough position, Mike, 33 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: it's tough to get paid, it's tough to last. But 34 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones is different. He's different as a playmaker on 35 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: the field, he's different as a guy in the locker room, 36 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: and for everything that he's been through this offseason. I 37 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: just thought it was very adding that that guy stuck 38 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: around finished this thing out. And as I said to 39 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: you even at one point in the practice, I mean, 40 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: if you ever wanted a better example of seeing one 41 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: guy just kind of being a notch above you know, 42 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: everyone else, it was kind of Aaron Jones out there, 43 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: the way he moves the plays, he makes a little 44 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: bit of a man among boys. He was just a 45 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: little delf there with all the rest of these young 46 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: guys on the roster. No offense to anyone paid running 47 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: backs in the league. Now he's dealing with a bunch 48 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: of guys who are rookies, first year players, and guys 49 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: trying to make this roster, and here's Aaron Jones out 50 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: there doing his thing. I just thought that was an 51 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: incredible testament to him. And again, for as difficult as 52 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: I know this offseat and has been for him these 53 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: last three months have been for him, just to see 54 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: him out there kind of brought a smile to my 55 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: face as you and I walked out on a Clark 56 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: hainkle Field on Tuesday. Yeah. Well, a couple of those 57 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: young guys that we'll talk about here, you and I 58 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: writing about them on Packers dot com this week. We'll 59 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: start with second round draft pick Josh Meyers at center. 60 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: And I know we talked about this a little bit 61 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: on an earlier show, but when you look at you 62 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: look at collectively everything we saw through the O T 63 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: A S, through minicamp, all of the reps that Josh 64 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: Myers took in, particularly in the eleven on eleven where 65 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: he was the center with the number one offensive line. 66 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: However it was constructed for that given day or that 67 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: given practice period. The number of times that he was 68 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: taking the snaps as the number one center, it sure 69 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: looks like they are going to give this young man 70 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: every opportunity to be the starting center on the offensive 71 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: line as a rookie. Do you get that. I'm not 72 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: saying anybody's handing him the job, but he's going to 73 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: be given He's going to be given the chance to 74 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: nail down this job as a rookie. That's the sense 75 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: I get. It's not even future tense, Mike, it's past tense. 76 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at how they use these six 77 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: practices that you and I were able to go and watch. Now. Obviously, 78 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: Elton Jenkins was there for the early Porsche the offseason 79 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: program was out of it the second half of it, 80 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: but Lucas Patrick, John Runnyan Jr. There are number of 81 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: guys that could have factored into that center spot. The 82 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers made it a point that Josh Myers 83 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: is going to take these reps. It reminds me of 84 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: the same exact thing they did with j C. Tread Or, 85 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: you know, and some of these other guys where they 86 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: drafted them and there they committed them to that position. 87 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: And I just feel like, again, he's going to have 88 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: to earn this. We got to see what it looks 89 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: like when the pads go on. But from a mental 90 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: aptitude perspective, and just the way that he plays that position, 91 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: and coming from the program that he did, Josh Myers 92 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: seems to have what it takes from a pure on 93 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: paper perspective to be a year one starter. And the 94 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: fact that Green Bay had all these other options they 95 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: could have looked at for the center position, the fact 96 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: that they gave him that sort of acknowledgement. This offseason program, 97 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: I think speaks volumes about where they view him right 98 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: now and where they think he could be later this summer. Yeah, 99 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: when you when you watch the videos looking at Josh Meyers, 100 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: his his sessions with the media, We've had a couple 101 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: of them now. The way he talks about his game, 102 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: his coach, the way he wants to go about learning everything, 103 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: all the ins and outs of the offense, and and 104 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: just the way he handled himself and he carries himself. 105 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: You can see why the Packers like this guy and 106 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: why they invested a second round draft pick in him. 107 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: The other thing I will say is that again, nobody's 108 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: nobody's handing in the job. But if Josh Meyers through 109 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: training camp in the preseason can prove that he he 110 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: is the guy at center, that he can be the 111 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: guy to hold down that job, it really simplifies a 112 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: lot of things for the for the Packers. Because we've 113 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: talked about, Okay, guys like Elton Jenkins, Billy Turner, Lucas Patrick, 114 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: their versatility, their ability to play multiple positions has been 115 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: extremely valuable and will continue to be extremely valuable. But 116 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: if Josh Meyers can nail down the center position so 117 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: that Lucas Patrick doesn't have to focus as much attention 118 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: there and can focus on guard, Elton Jenkins doesn't have 119 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: to try to play every position, but maybe he's going 120 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: to fill in at left tackle if Boxer he's not back, 121 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: But also then you know he can focus on guard 122 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: and maybe left tackle. Billy Turner in that respect also 123 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: maybe gets to focus that much more of his attention 124 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: at right tackle, which, as we've talked about, he proved 125 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: last year of all the different spots he can play 126 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: and play well. Right tackle is probably his best fit 127 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: in his best spot, particularly in this offense and the 128 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: way it runs. If Josh Meyers can't be the guy, 129 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: the Packers will figure out a way. They will, But 130 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: it just feels like if he can be, things start 131 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: to simplify a lot on the offensive line. It it 132 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: reduces the number of options and combinations that you have 133 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: to consider, which I think is going to be helpful 134 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: for all those players as as valuable as they've been 135 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: with their versatility. Well, and a few things to this. 136 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: First and foremost relates to Myers. The fact that he 137 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: has been at center. That has opened the door for 138 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: how Green Bay has wanted to use the rest of 139 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: that offensive line. And what I mean by that isn't 140 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: just okay, here's this guy is gonna go there. This 141 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: guy's gonna go there. No, it's allowed it. So it's like, Okay, 142 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,239 Speaker 1: what are our different guard combinations that we want to try. 143 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: Who are the guys we want to run at the 144 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: tackle positions. Knowing that you may not have David Baktiari 145 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: in the early part of this season, could have him 146 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: guessing that's what he's planning to do, but you just 147 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: don't know until a guy gets cleared. So that's where 148 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: you saw Billy Turner at left tackle. You saw Elton 149 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: Jenkins at left tackle. The two guys that have basically 150 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: been pretty stationary where Myers at center and Lucas Patrick 151 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: at right guard, which is valuable for Lucas to a 152 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: guy that's still only really been entrenched as a one 153 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: year starter, just getting to learn one position after being 154 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: in a rover roll for a number of years. So 155 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: all that stuff is important. But seeing the rest of 156 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: this competition way out, Royce Newman getting some number one 157 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: snaps throughout the spring, Ben Braden kind of coming out 158 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: of nowhere for a lot of people being able to 159 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: get some work at left tackle after Elton Jenkins was missing. 160 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: That's gonna be where this sort of fire is flamed 161 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: throughout training camp and trying to figure out what the 162 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: best combination of five is going to be. Because, as 163 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: you and I have said since the day we wrote 164 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: our position by position series going into the draft, even 165 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: before Josh Myers is a member this roster, Green Bay 166 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: has a lot of ways they can go on this 167 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: offensive line. In the more guys that can get pegged 168 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: into certain spots that starts to clear that picture up 169 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: now for the two thou season. Yeah, I think that's 170 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: gonna be something definitely to watch in training camp quickly. 171 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: Here West Serious x M NFL Radio delivers hard hitting 172 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: analysis and up to the minute NFL news that true 173 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: football fanatics need. Seven three turning our attention here to 174 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: first round draft pick Eric Stokes, and UM, just to 175 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: let everybody know, there is a story on Josh Myers 176 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: that is on Packers dot com. There's also one on 177 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: Eric Stokes written by you. I did the Myers when 178 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: you did the Stokes one on Packers dot com. We've 179 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: talked a bit about Stokes already and UM, but some 180 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: of the angle that you took with regard to your 181 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: story I thought was interesting because when you look at 182 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: the whole picture here, you know the athletic ability, all 183 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: of the all those physical traits that Eric Stokes is 184 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: bringing into his young career in the NFL. And then 185 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: for a three day minicamp last week, he gets to 186 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: work side by side with Jayar Alexander, one of the 187 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: best cornerbacks in this game and a guy who was 188 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: a rookie and a very young player, not that long ago, right, 189 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: and then combine that with the fact that his position 190 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: coaches Jerry Gray, a former Pro Bowl player himself and 191 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: then a longtime coach in the NFL who has coached 192 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: a number of Pro Bowl and All Pro defensive backs 193 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: through a rather distinguished coaching career. Eric Stokes couldn't ask 194 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: for a better situation almost when. And that's not to 195 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: take anything away from, you know, from Kevin King and 196 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: Shannon Sullivan and what those guys are going to bring 197 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: to this secondary. I'm not discounting that at all. But 198 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: in terms of a young guy learning the ropes and 199 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: figuring it out and finding his role in this defense whatever, 200 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: that's going to be his rookie year. To to have 201 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: Alexander on one shoulder, so to speak, and Jerry Gray 202 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: on the other, it's it's a perfect setup. Yeah, And 203 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: Shamar John Charles is in the same spot right now, 204 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: to the fifth round pick on Appalachian State. Apple Acchian State. 205 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: I always mess that up, well, depending on who you 206 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: talked to, a mess set up. But the thing about 207 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: when you look at everything with Stokes is he jumps 208 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: off the page. You know, the way he broke out 209 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: in his true junior year, the forty time that he 210 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: registered all of those things made him a first round pick. 211 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: It's it's just it does you know in the size 212 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: and all that. But I think what I witnessed the 213 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: most during this offseason program was one the value of 214 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: this for young players. Uh you can even just tell 215 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: the way that he's talking. I mean, yeah, there's a 216 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: long way for Stokes to go. There's a lot of 217 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: information that has to go osmosis from Jerry Gray passing 218 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: it down to his first round pick here, but just 219 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: listening to the way Gray talked about it and listening 220 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: to the lessons that Stokes has already learned, because yeah, 221 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: you're not tackling, Yeah you're not doing all those type 222 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: of things, but understanding what you're seeing on the field 223 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: in a blink of an eye, with how fast the 224 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: pieces are moving out there. In translating that to what 225 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: how you react to a play, that's the step man. 226 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: That's where a guy goes from playing with his athleticism 227 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: and his natural talent wixed with you know, some fledgening 228 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: cornerback skills at the college level to doing what your 229 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: Alexander has done now in the national Football League, And 230 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: I think that's what I like the most about Stokes 231 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: and and listen to him talk and the enthusiasm and 232 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: the energy, even getting you know, sometimes jumping over a 233 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: word or two because he's so excited about you know 234 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: what he's saying. I just get the feeling. You can 235 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: tell why the Packers when they sat down with this guy, 236 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: when Jerry Gray had the conversations with this guy in 237 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: the pre draft process, why they liked him so much. 238 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: Now you talked about the way this lines up in 239 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: the secondary, this is picture perfect. He has Alexander and 240 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: Great to learn from, but he also has Kevin King 241 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: and Shandon Sullivan and you know Will Redman. In the dime. 242 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: There's all these guys, Josh Jackson returning as well. There's 243 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: these guys competing for playing time. So it's not like 244 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: Green Bay's just saying, Okay, Stokes, you have to be 245 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: a first your starter. You're gonna be starting on the perimeter. 246 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: He's gonna have time to learn here. And as he 247 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: goes kind of climbed that depth chart. But in terms 248 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: of just low pressure, you know, high upside in terms 249 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: of what learning in an offseason program, I just think 250 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: it was set up for him perfectly. Yeah, I think 251 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: it's uh, he he's going to be He's going to 252 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: be one to watch in uh in training camp, just 253 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: you know, especially when I'm most curious. I think when 254 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: the pads go on. He he mentioned um, you know, 255 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: and you quoted him in the story talking about how 256 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: he's he's so much more accustomed to being a press 257 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: man corner. And so I'm very interested when the pads 258 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: go on because obviously all of the all of the 259 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: stuff through the spring is nonpadded, but when he when 260 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: he is actually jamming wide receivers at the line and 261 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: you know, the contact you know, ramps up a little 262 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: bit when you get to that stage of training camp. 263 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see just just how he looks, uh, 264 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: you know, because he's certainly shown to this point he 265 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: looks like he belongs. But then you also want to 266 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: see those guys take take the steps, take those strides 267 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: from what they do as a rookie in the spring 268 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: with all kinds of promise too then tow then what 269 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: they show when they're out there in eleven on eleven 270 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: with with all of the you know, all the big dogs, 271 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: and you could see why he was a press man 272 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: corner at Georgia with his size and his speed that 273 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: is tailor made for the sec and being able to 274 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: be physical the line of scrimmage but also have the 275 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: quickness and acceleration to make up for it. You know, 276 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: if a guy gets behind you at all, especially at 277 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: that level where quarterbacks probably aren't throwing balls on a 278 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: you know, a rope like you're gonna see at this level. 279 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: So it makes total sense, but you need more in 280 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: That was one of the big messages that Jerry Grace 281 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: said with the entire cornerback room last year was making 282 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: sure they understand zone man, press off. There's so many 283 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: different components that they have to master and we actually 284 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: really don't know what the big emphasis is going to 285 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: be yet with Joe Barry, Yeah what what this is 286 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: all gonna look like? But certainly, uh, those lessons and 287 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: being able to understand what's expected of him when he 288 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: isn't directly in a receiver's face, those are things that 289 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: are going to pay dividends down the road. Yeah. Well, 290 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: with all the focus on the young players on the 291 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: roster this last week here the offseason program, I want 292 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: to I want to toss a question at you, and 293 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll talk about this more when we come 294 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: back and get behind these microphones again during training camp. 295 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: But I'm just curious your thoughts on these young guys 296 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: that we know we're going to be fighting for roster 297 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: spots and whatnot based on what you saw this spring. 298 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: Are there guys that have sort of piqued your interest? 299 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: I'll call them the under the weeder guys and maybe 300 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: the fans, don't you know, they're not the household names, 301 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: not a lot of the guys that we've been talking about, 302 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: the draft picks and whatnot. But these under the radar 303 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: guys that you think are gonna be are gonna be 304 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: worth watching when training camp here rolls around. Yeah, Marv 305 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: is gonna love this from the production standpoint of overlaying 306 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: video with the Patrick Taylor's of the world here making 307 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: sure we have some of that available. But there are 308 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: there's there's probably a list of five or six guys 309 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: that have intrigued me. It starts with Patrick Taylor. This 310 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: guy is a he looks like James Starks, but with 311 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: probably twenty more pounds on his body. I mean, he's 312 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: just a full grown man. He's a guy that I 313 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: still think would have been a draft pick a year 314 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: ago had it not been for that List Frank or whatever. 315 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: He was dealing with with the foot that basically kept 316 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: him out for almost like a year and a half, 317 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: but he got back at the end of last season. 318 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: They you know, obviously they made the move with Mike Weber. 319 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: It's kind of a three man race right now for 320 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: that number three running back job, and he's fully entrenched 321 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: in that. The guy that I think probably heightened his 322 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: draft his stock in the off season program more than 323 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: anyone those Jowan Winfrey, who was a guy that was 324 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: on the practice squad for basically of last season, was 325 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: a pickup. Has some NFL experience before, but when you're 326 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: talking about slot receivers and guys who can do things 327 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: across the middle, Winfrey made a lot of impressive catches 328 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: this spring. I think he really helped his case. And 329 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: and just seeing some of these other guys on the 330 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: offensive line, I mean, we can't really derive a lot 331 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: of information, but seeing Simon Stepanek for the first time 332 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: in pads, uh not pads, but it's the first time 333 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: in a uniform after last year missing the entire year 334 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: with the torn a c L. Those first impressions are important, 335 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: and I just feel like with some of these guys 336 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: that the Packers kind of red shirted last year, seeing 337 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: which ones now can mount a push for a roster spot, 338 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be really compelling theater come August. Yeah. I 339 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: made a list of a few guys here as far 340 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: as this young player category, and both Patrick Taylor and 341 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: Juwan Winfrey were on it. And again we just talked about, 342 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: you know, with Eric Stokes and when the pads go on, 343 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: and and and the press coverage obviously it's sort of 344 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: almost goes without saying with regard to the running back 345 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: and getting into the preseason games like we've mentioned before, 346 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: but with a guy like Winfrey, that's also you want 347 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: to see when the pads go on, when it gets 348 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: more physical at the line of scrimmage, can he still 349 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: get open and be making the catches, making the plays 350 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: that he made during the spring, Right That's the that's 351 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 1: the next step that that these guys have to stake 352 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: to take. So he's certainly on my list. I'm gonna 353 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: throw one other one at you as far as a 354 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: young returning player, and we've talked about the competition that 355 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: there's going to be at the cornerback position, you know, 356 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: with Josh Jackson in the mix and and Eric Stokes 357 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: and Kudar Home in six round picks in recent years. 358 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: But Stanford Samuels undrafted, undrafted a year ago, he flashed, 359 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: you know, made a couple of plays here in uh 360 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: in this o t a mini camp um period of 361 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: time in the spring and uh and you know this 362 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: is this, this is a young man I think is uh, 363 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: He's he's going to have a spotlight on him, I 364 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: think even more so in the preseason games maybe than 365 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: than in practice. Obviously you've got to prove it in 366 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: practice to you know, to earn that playing time. But 367 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: but for a guy who for a guy who accomplished 368 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: what he accomplished in college and was kind of a 369 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: surprise to not get drafted. And then with all with 370 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: you know, all these young guys, you know, second year guys. 371 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: You could call him that that missed everything from a 372 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: rookie offseason standpoint and a rookie preseason standpoint because of 373 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: COVID and everything last year. These are the guys that 374 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: are going to be really interesting to watch. And Stanford 375 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: Samuel's at cornerback is on my list A couple of 376 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: things that I love that pick. Sanford Samuels was one 377 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: of my guys last year. I actually in my unofficial 378 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: fifty three, I actually had him on it last year. 379 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: I was really impressed by the camp he put together, 380 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: and I love his backstory. The one thing that hurt 381 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: him was the forty time and and that was something 382 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: that you know how that works at this league, Mike, 383 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: is that sometimes scouch latch onto height, wait forty bench reps, 384 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: and they don't let it go um and sometimes it 385 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: ends up being right. But in sometimes I think, as 386 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: I even wrote about Insider Inbox this week, they tend 387 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: to overthink things. Ben Braden's a guy that they kind 388 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: of overthought things with. No matter if Ben Braden becomes 389 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: a starting caliber NFL offensive lineman or not, I don't 390 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: think it matters. He already made it this far. He's 391 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: already been in the league this long. And this is 392 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: a guy that originally from NFL dot Com, got a 393 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: chance to be in an NFL training camp. They didn't 394 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: even say a chance to like try to make a roster. 395 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: They were saying a chance to be on a ninety 396 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: man roster and I think sometimes people latch onto certain 397 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: attributes about guys and they just hold them to that 398 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of guys to look at. But 399 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: Stanford Samuel's and then another guy I'll throw out there 400 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: too is kaban Into. Uh. You know, last year had 401 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: an unfortunate injury right at the beginning of the season, 402 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: kind of derailed any hope he had of being able 403 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: to play. Got to practice a little bit, but wasn't 404 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: able to be in any games. As former receiver from 405 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: Colorado State, I believe they have a really deep cornerback 406 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: room with Kadar Holman coming back from injury. He was 407 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: back during the training the off season program. You look 408 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: at it with Josh Jackson being in that competition, there's 409 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: so many ways that it can go and it's gonna 410 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: be really interesting see which of those young guys in 411 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: the cornerback room can kind of make a push uh 412 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: this training camp to get a roster spot, because inevitably, Mike, 413 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: every year it happens. Yeah, it does, it does. And 414 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: with with regard to how different everything was last year 415 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: through the off season and training camp, it's all it's 416 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: almost like this year there's there's this larger pool of 417 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: the potential surprise guys you know, to be competing for 418 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,239 Speaker 1: those spots on the fifty three and and you know, 419 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: realistically the sixty three, you know, with the with the 420 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: practice squad, harverd many players are going to be on 421 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: the practice squad? Is it going to be sixteen? Yeah? 422 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: That that's a That's another really interesting factor here, because 423 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: love it, because yeah, with the withe Man off season roster, 424 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: but fifty three and sixteen on the practice squad, you're 425 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: not you don't necessarily really now, some of them you're 426 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: going to get from elsewhere, right because your scouts have 427 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: uncertain guys that are going to be on the waiver 428 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: wire and whatnot. But you don't necessarily you don't You're 429 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: not necessarily gonna lose as many guys because of so 430 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: many opportunities to bring guys back to the practice. And 431 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: we could talk for two hours about all my reasons 432 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: why I love the changes they've made with the practice squad. 433 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: I've already talked about them in the past. But the 434 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: other thing, and I'll close on this, Mike, that Green 435 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: Bay had to figure out. I know there was a 436 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: lot of consternation, a lot of discussion about the quarterback situation, 437 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers not being here, Jordan's loved taking of the 438 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: teams that we saw. But one way or another, whether 439 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: or not twelve is back for training camp or not, 440 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: green Bay needs to find a number three quarterback or 441 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: could potentially be a number two quarterback. And I really 442 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: like in the span of basically six weeks, eight weeks, 443 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: two months, they acquired all these guys. Blake Bortles, you know, 444 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,239 Speaker 1: kind of you know, a guy that has experienced with 445 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett, has played at the game's highest level, has 446 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: been in an NFC championship game. They go and get 447 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: Kurt Ben Kurt, a guy that was on a practice 448 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: squad and injury reserve for three years with Atlanta learning 449 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: from you know, Matt shob and in Mattie Ice. And 450 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: then joke Jake Delagata Dolla Gala six ft seven. If 451 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: the guy would end up making a roster, would be 452 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: the second tallest quarterback in Packer's history, like in a 453 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: you know, a height race with three other guys to 454 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: be the second tallest quarterback in NFL history. So they've 455 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: acquired different types of talent. I thought quarterback is one 456 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: of those positions to that really emphasize what this time 457 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: of the year is all about because we haven't seen 458 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: it for a number years. Because you know who the 459 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: number one is gonna be, you know who the number 460 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: two is gonna be. But but just finding players in attributes, 461 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: in things that you like in guys. Not everybody's gonna 462 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: make it to camp, not everybody's gonna make it to 463 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: the first preseason game. But you have to cast a 464 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: wide net at these positions, the specialist positions as well 465 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: to figure out what you have to put together that 466 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: best fifty three and that best six team man practice 467 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: squad come September. Yeah, well, when we come back for 468 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: training camp, we will certainly be breaking down all the 469 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: position competitions the way we see them shaping up. We'll 470 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: preview those on the website leading up to training camp 471 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: with a with our second round of position by position 472 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: series that we do every year. One is pre draft, 473 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: one is pre training camp because you you know, you 474 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: really felt but yeah, absolutely, it's it's it's definitely been. Uh, 475 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: it's definitely been an interest interesting offseason here in Green Bay. 476 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: But with that, we're going to call it a wrap 477 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: on this edition of Packers Unscripted. Be sure to follow 478 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: all of our coverage of the team and all the 479 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: preview coverage leading up to training camp next month.
