00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.

2
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford, joined by my trusted colleague Wes

3
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: hodkwits were coming to you here from our studios at

4
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: lambeau Field and West. I don't know what to say

5
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: other than when you think there isn't anything else that

6
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers can do, he goes and does what he

7
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: did on Sunday Night, twenty to nothing. Comes back from

8
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: a knee injury in the second half, three going into

9
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and he wills the Packers to triumph

10
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: over the Bears to open the Packers hundredth season in

11
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: front of a crazed crowd at lambeau Field. Pretty unforgettable night. Well,

12
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: here's what's funny, Mike. Between the two of us, we

13
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: probably have a full night's sleep together, maybe maybe eight hours.

14
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: Uh All last night when I was laying in bed,

15
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: and this morning when I was driving into work, I

16
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: knew we were doing unscripted. It was our first assignment

17
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: of the morning, and I sat here trying to think

18
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: of how in the heck am I going to find

19
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: the words to describe exactly what happened in the last

20
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: thirty minutes of that football game, as far as thirty

21
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: minutes on the clock. Um, Aaron Rodgers has done so

22
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: much throughout the course of his career, and you don't

23
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: want to speak in hyperbole because he defies hyperbole with

24
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: what he accomplishes on a weekend and week out basis.

25
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: But this was one of those finest hour kind of

26
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: moments for him. For the Packers to be in the

27
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: position they were seventeen to nothing a halftime, twenty to

28
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: nothing when he re enters the game, and for Rogers too,

29
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there was no room for error, There was

30
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: no room for a ball outside of the zone. And

31
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, four pitch walk. He had to be cerebral

32
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: and he had to be efficient right from the beginning.

33
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: And I thought Brian Bulaga made a really good point

34
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: in locker room that first drive when he was on

35
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: the field, it didn't matter if it was a field goal,

36
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: didn't matter if it was a touchdown. The Packers need

37
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: to score points. They did that with a Mason Crosby

38
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: field goal. And after that, you could just see the

39
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: wheels turning. You could see the momentum building and in

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: the end, another incredible, remarkable figure out what word you

41
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: want to put with it, Mike, but of monumental performance

42
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: by Aaron Rodgers and this opener. Yeah, he said after

43
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: the game he's going to have some more tests on

44
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: the knee. Injured the left knee when he was sacked

45
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. Carter to the locker room. Everybody

46
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: in Packer Land wondering has the whole season gone up

47
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: in smoke already? You know, you you fear the worst,

48
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: you hope for the best. And uh, you know he

49
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: jogged out of that tunnel after halftime, and you're like, okay.

50
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: You know, in my mind, I was saying, Okay, no

51
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: matter what happens tonight, at least it looks like he's okay.

52
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: So so that was a good sign. And then um,

53
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: and then for him to put on the performance he

54
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: did in the second half. A perfect passerrating is one

55
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: point three, right if you take his second half passing numbers.

56
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: Before that final play with two seconds left where he

57
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: just threw it out of bounds to kill the last

58
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: couple of seconds, he was five tenths of a point

59
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: from a perfect passer rating in the second half. The

60
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: the efficiency, the explosiveness of the offense with the yards

61
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: after the catch, the things that were happening, the throw

62
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: to Geronimo Allison for the first touchdown, which was really

63
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: when it felt that a comeback was possible. I mean,

64
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: you get that game to twenty to ten, was still

65
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: plenty of time left in the fourth quarter. Packers defense

66
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: was playing pretty well at that stage of the game.

67
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: You knew it was possible. That was really the jaw

68
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: dropping throw of of the moment or of the game,

69
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: but the rest of the performance to do what he

70
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: did on one leg, he couldn't move out of the pocket,

71
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: he had to throw on time. He shuffled around a

72
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: little bit when he when he needed to to create

73
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: a throwing lane here or there. And just hats off

74
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: to the Packers playmakers. They made plays on the offensive line,

75
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: boat up and got the job done. And here's the

76
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: biggest thing, Like I said this in two thousand and

77
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: fourteen as well, and I'm gonna say it right now.

78
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: This these examples, when you go back to the final

79
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: stretch of fourteen and what he did on Sunday night,

80
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: are why Aaron Rodgers could potentially play well into his

81
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: forties if if the health thing works out, Because he's

82
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: going to be able to adapt his game. We've seen it.

83
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: They had to do it again last night. They bust

84
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: out more pistol formations in the second half. He has

85
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: to operate more in the pocket. It becomes probably a

86
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: little bit more of a traditional West Coast offense with

87
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: the quick throws underneath, in allowing as you mentioned his

88
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: receivers and we'll talk about them in a moment, to

89
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: make plays after the run. That was a big thing

90
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: in this game was the yards after the catch, and

91
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: when you look at Rogers, I think that that's why

92
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: when he gets to thirty and beyond, he's gonna be

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: able to have success. Alah, Tom Brady, because that arm

94
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: strength is gonna be there with him, and he knows

95
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: how to navigate in the pocket when he wants to.

96
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: Yes it ellimit will probably eliminate some of the free plays,

97
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: might eliminate some of the scrambled drill type stuff. But

98
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: as far as being in time and in sync with

99
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: the offense, there's no one better, and the offense needed

100
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: to get momentum built. I thought they did that with

101
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: Randall Cobbs. Some of the short stuff underneath. You know,

102
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: we talk about the you know, seventy five yard touchdown

103
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: pass here in a minute. But Randall Cobb had a

104
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: lot of really important catches underneath to keep the chains moving,

105
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: and they were able to do that consistently throughout that

106
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: second half. But for it going back to Aaron Rodgerson

107
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 1: being in his being, the ball being in in his hand,

108
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever seen anything better than

109
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: that in terms of what he was able to do

110
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: in the comeback. He was able to mount in spite

111
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: of I'm sure need that wasn't feeling too hot. Yeah,

112
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: I mean a couple of other things that certainly played

113
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: into this comeback. One was a bounce back, I guess

114
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: you could say. For the offensive line in the second

115
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: half compared to the first half, Khalil Mack was, you know,

116
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: a one man wrecking crew almost. He ended up playing

117
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: forty plus snaps in this game, which I think is

118
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: more than a lot of us anticipated, and uh Packers

119
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: really had a hard time with him in the first half.

120
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: When Deshaun Kaiser's in the game, he simply stripped the

121
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: ball away from him in the red zone when the

122
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: Packers were at least going to be able to kick

123
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: a field goal there and get on the scoreboard with

124
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: the score only ten nothing at the time, and then

125
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: the the pick six on you know, a somewhat careless

126
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: play and he's Mr Johnny on the spot. Not only

127
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: does he snag a short pass that uh um that

128
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: nobody would have been necessarily expecting, but then he weaves

129
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: his way and gets all the way into the end

130
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: zone for a touchdown to make it seventeen nothing in

131
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: the last minute of the first half. The Packers offensive

132
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: line give credit to Brian Bulaga justin McCrae. They both

133
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: had a couple of rough moments in the early going

134
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: of this game. But then in the second half when

135
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: the pocket had to be there for Rogers because he

136
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: couldn't run away from it, the pocket was there and

137
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: he's able to stand tall and make some throws. Yeah,

138
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: and that was just trusting your ninth year you know,

139
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: veteran right tackle. It wasn't like the Packers started packing

140
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: in you know, tackles and running backs to help out,

141
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, the edge with with Bolaga in box, tr

142
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, they pretty much told those guys, your assignment

143
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: is to block those guys one on one or do

144
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: your best job to do so. And they were up

145
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: to that challenge since the very beginning. As you mentioned,

146
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: there were some play specifically in that first half that

147
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: I know both Bolaga and McCrae wanted back, but for

148
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: them to be able to adjust the way they did,

149
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: and Bolaga talked about it, the technique he was working with,

150
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: what he was trying to do against Mac. He got

151
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: more comfortable with it in the second half and they

152
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: were able to, you know, kind of negate him during

153
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: that final stretch and and allow Rogers to get into

154
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: that rhythm. But I mean the thing I keep going

155
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: back to, and you addressed it early on. Mac played

156
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: the defensive snaps for the Chicago Bears for behind Leonard Floyd,

157
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: who had forty six as their top press rusher from

158
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: the linebacker position before Max acquisition, so um Matt Nage

159
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: and Vic Fanjiu had no problem putting them out there.

160
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: They wanted to get him out there. And you could

161
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: see that that was the tide that the Packers kind

162
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: of had to weather a little bit in that first

163
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: half because that was for everything that Aaron Rodgers did

164
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: for the Packers in the second half with giving them

165
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: a spark, Khalil Mac was that for Chicago both with

166
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: what he did on the field, and I think just

167
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: from a swagger standpoint to oh, no question. So for

168
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: the Packers to be able to weather that and get

169
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: to where they got um pretty pretty dumb impressive. And

170
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: another thing I think that really stands out that you

171
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't have expected in terms of how this comeback happened

172
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: is twenty four points in the second half of the

173
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers and Jimmy Graham did not catch a

174
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: single pass. This was this was about the receivers. This

175
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 1: was about Randall, cob Geronimo, Allison, Davante Adams, lots of

176
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: yards after the catch. I thought the you know that

177
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: blitz pick up by Jamal Williams on Danny Trevathan which

178
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: then allowed the throw to Adams where he slips away

179
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: and then is able to run end ended up a

180
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: fifty one yard pass play and all sets up his

181
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: own touchdown later on another great yards after the catch

182
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: play where catches the pass in the red zone, does

183
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: a little start and stop and then as able to

184
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: get to the pylon. Those kinds of things you could

185
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: just you could just sense the momentum was building, the

186
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: things were happening for the Packers, and and these receivers.

187
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: There was the one possession Geronimo Allison what he got

188
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: thrown to three or four times, almost consecutively, three times

189
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: in a row. Yeah, yeah, in that that that one stretch,

190
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: and everybody, everybody that was called on to make a

191
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: play at at one given time or another made a play. Well,

192
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: what was really incredible about it is the three touchdown

193
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: producing drives. Basically all three of those drives belonged to

194
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: one receiver. The first one that was sort of the

195
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: spark was Jeronimo Allison. Geronimo Allison Michael had five catches

196
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: for sixty nine yards in this game. I believe four

197
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: for sixty seven. We're on that drive d including the

198
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: thirty nine yard touchdown pass, which is was that I'm

199
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: amazing throw from Rogers just looked effortless standing in the

200
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: pocket and throws it over Kyle Fuller. Their number one

201
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: being able to to, you know, connect with Geronimo Allison,

202
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: Allison jumping up into that number three role, Packers show

203
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: there's still very much gonna be a three receiver team.

204
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: He'd been on the field for most of the night,

205
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: and then you go to that next series, Davante Adams

206
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: gets a bulk of his five catches for eighty eight

207
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: yards on that including the long catch and run for

208
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: fifty one and then does it kind of again on

209
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 1: the touchdown pass, basically running that thing in for ten

210
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: yards after the short pass from Rogers. And then what

211
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: do you say about Randall Cobb? And I asked Davante

212
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: Adams about that afterwards. He said, that was vintage Randall Cobb.

213
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: That's the reason why he's here and that's why he

214
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: continues to make plays. Yes, he was. He was kind

215
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: of the guy that was helping move the chains early

216
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: on some eight nine yard passes and then out of

217
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: nowhere like usual, He's right where he needs to be

218
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: at the moment he needs to be there. Rogers puts

219
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: the ball again, just probably the best pack, the passing

220
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: through all night and turn of the pinpoint accuracy of

221
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: it through traffic, and then once that ball arrived, nobody

222
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: behind him and Cob said he'd never seen anything quite

223
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: like it. Yeah, that that was That was one of

224
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: the really special moments in the game. Because we get

225
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: asked a lot of times, you know, what's it like

226
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: watching the game from the press box. You know, how

227
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: how much do you hear the crowd. You know, how

228
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: much does that that, you know, influencer or impact what

229
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: you're how you're processing what you're seeing out there. And

230
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: the moment that Cobb caught that pass and spun around

231
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: and obviously from you know, the bird's eye view, I

232
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: don't know how exactly it looked on television, but from

233
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: the bird's eye view, you could see all this open

234
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: space and there was there was almost like a stunned

235
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: excitement to the roar of the crowd when he took off.

236
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't just starting to roar because it was going

237
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: to be a good play. It was like, holy cow, like,

238
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: look at all of that open space. And I'm not

239
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: sure what exactly happened on the Bears defense on that play.

240
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: They've certainly got ill a lot of regrets in terms

241
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: of some of these yards after the catch plays that

242
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: the Packers had. But uh um, but boy, what a moment.

243
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Aaron Rodgers takes the field with what was it,

244
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: two thirty nine on the clock, and you're like, okay,

245
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: no time outs, but you got the two minute warning,

246
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: you know, plenty of time for Rogers. Packers are in

247
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: the end zone before the two minute warning. I don't

248
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: think anybody thought that was coming. And you talk so much,

249
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: Mike during the off season program during training camp about

250
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: those important reps that those teams get. I don't think

251
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: there was a better example of it than that second

252
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: half of what all that work means, because all three

253
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: of those receivers said it. I think Mike McCarthy mentioned

254
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: it too. They didn't know that Aaron Rodgers is gonna

255
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: be the quarterback in the second half. Everybody was getting

256
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: ready to rally behind Shaun Kaiser and try to get

257
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: some points on the board. But low and behold like

258
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: everybody else, Rogers emerges from the tunnel. And then that

259
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: was the fun part about this night too, is that

260
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: seeing the crowd come alive when they start to notice

261
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: that twelve is actually out there. Oh and now twelve

262
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: is actually jogging. Uh. That was I mean that that ovation.

263
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't think it was just because it probably wasn't

264
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: as many people in the Bowl at that time coming

265
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: back from you know, whatever you do during halftime, but

266
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: it was basically right there with two thousand fourteen in

267
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: him coming back against Detroit with the calf just incredible,

268
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: and that spark, whether it was offense, defense, he did

269
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: special teams. I think everybody took something from that. Yeah, well,

270
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about the defensive

271
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: side and uh and that the role in the comeback.

272
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: But a little sponsored business here first at home or

273
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: here in the stands. We all know that Green Bay

274
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: fans give it their all and that takes a lot

275
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: of energy. So grab a warm bowl of Campbell's Chunky Soup.

276
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: It's meaty goodness fuels the greatness of Packers fans everywhere.

277
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: Try the delicious classic chicken noodle soup. Just visit your

278
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: local supermarket and ask for Campbell's Chunky Soup. Official sup

279
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: partner of the Green Bay Packers. Okay, West defensive side

280
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: of the ball. Bears come out, march right down the field.

281
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: On their first possession, you can tell it's, you know,

282
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: the scripted plays, all that kind of stuff. They're shifting around,

283
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: doing lots of motion, a lot of misdirection and everything.

284
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: They go right down and score a touchdown. But after that,

285
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I know there are always some plays that

286
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: you wish, you know, a tackle here there, whatever, But

287
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: I thought the Packers defense played pretty darn well. You know,

288
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard is no slouch. Of a running back Alan Robinson,

289
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel, this whole new receiving corps for the Bears,

290
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: and Um for the Packers defense to only give up

291
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: three field goals the rest of the way after the

292
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: opening touchdown because the Chicago got seven points on the

293
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: pick six by mac Um. I thought it was I

294
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: thought it was a solid performance. And certainly the back

295
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: to back three and outs in the second half when

296
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: the Packers were mounting the comeback, you know that that

297
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: was getting Chicago's defense right back on the field and

298
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: you could see as the game war on that that

299
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: pass rush was getting tired. They you know, they didn't

300
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: have the energy that they had in the first half

301
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: when when the Packers offense was struggling, and and they

302
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: didn't have to play quite so many snaps. So it

303
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: all the there was this whole evolution to the game

304
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: and Uh and the Packers defense, I give him credit,

305
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: wasn't a perfect outing by any means, but they hung

306
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: tough and Uh and they got the stops when they

307
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: needed to. So basically, there was three things to this

308
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: Packers defense that really struck me. One, the resiliency to

309
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: come back after kind of getting punched in the mouth

310
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: a little bit on the first series, and then you know,

311
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit the second one too. Bears had

312
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: a hundred forty six total yards at that point. The

313
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: next eight series I wrote about this in our game

314
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: notes afterwards had a hundred forty eight for the rest

315
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: of the game. After that second series, the Packers went

316
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: out of sixth series five times did not allow a

317
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: first down, so either getting three notes or four notes

318
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: in that stretch. Blake Martinez mentioned it they were just

319
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: trying to do a little too much early on, and

320
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: I think you saw it. They opened up here. Here's

321
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: the thing that I think is gonna be the biggest

322
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: indicator for the Packers under Pett and there's going to

323
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: be unpredictability because I'll tell you this, and I think

324
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: this is I think this is a compliment. I couldn't

325
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: make out his packages. So if I can't make out

326
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: his packages looking for on the press box down at

327
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: the field, I don't know how Mitchell Robiski was able

328
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: to take care of it. My hunch is is that

329
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: they basically use Germaine Whitehead as the inside linebacker in

330
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: the nickel next to Blake Martinez. All of the Nitro Nickel.

331
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: But even then, like the dime packages and even some

332
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: of the base concepts, they were using three defensive linemen

333
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: in either of them in addition to two outside linebackers.

334
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: I think you even made a comment once it was

335
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: almost like a five one five front at times. I

336
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: think three three five at times, and they would send everybody.

337
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: You had cornerbacks coming off the week side three at

338
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: a time. I mean, you had guys dropping back in coverage.

339
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: Claim Matthews was dropping back in coverage. But what impressed

340
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: me the most about all that, getting back to what

341
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: the big narrative was all offseason to look more complicated

342
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: than it is. There weren't personnel issues for the Packers.

343
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: You didn't see any substitution, time outs or or penalties

344
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: from two twelve minut on the field. Claim Matthews came

345
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: close on one but got often time to be able

346
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: to end up getting a third down stop. It was

347
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: pretty impressive with all those defensive backs and all those

348
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: moving parts what they were able to do. And I

349
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: think you kind of have to tip your cap to

350
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: Blake Martinez too for being able to control all of

351
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: it on the field. Yeah, Well, we talk a lot

352
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: in this day and age in the NFL, with everything

353
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: so much geared towards offenses. On the defensive side, it

354
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: comes down to when you make your plays, and a

355
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: lot of times it's sometimes it's being able to make

356
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: up for the mistake of a teammate. And last night's

357
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: game was the perfect example of it. Kyle Fuller drops

358
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: the interception on the first play of the Packers game

359
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: winning touchdown drive that basically would have sealed the game.

360
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: I mean the Packers would have had virtually no chance

361
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: after that he drops it. Two plays later, there's a

362
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: huge breakdown and Cobb has a seventy five yard touchdown.

363
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: Then you flip it the other way to the Packers.

364
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: On Chicago's last drive, a huge mistake by Clay Matthews

365
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: roughing the passer on fourth and nine. It looks like

366
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: the game is over, but there's a flag. Matthews gets

367
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: called for at fifteen yards automatic first down puts the

368
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: Bears close to midfield. I don't think they were quite

369
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: all the way to midfield, but close to midfield where

370
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: they are really only twenty yards away. Then at that

371
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: point from a field goal to beat, and the Packers

372
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: defense makes up for the mistake of their teammate. They

373
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: get a four and out, Nick Perry with the sack

374
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: on fourth down that pops the ball loose, Kenny Clark recovers,

375
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: and um, you know it, just these games can hinge

376
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: on such small moments in a sense, but it those

377
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: small moments become big moments because of what happens around them.

378
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: And the Packers were the ones that took advantage of

379
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: those moments with the game on the line. And I'll

380
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: say this too, Mike, for them to be able to

381
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: bounce back from that personal foul, we we hear it

382
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: all the time. I know Dom Capers used to talk

383
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: about it too. If you have a personal foul on

384
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: the drive, I mean basically, there's a three times more

385
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: likely chance that they're going to score on that drive.

386
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: Not only of the Packers not give up any points,

387
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: they didn't give up another yard three more. In completions

388
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: from Mitchell Trobinski, I said, going into this thing, my

389
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: biggest thing I was looking for was going to be

390
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: the coverage units, was going to be what these cornerbacks

391
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: were like. I did not anticipate Josh Jackson becoming the

392
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: first Packers rookie to start a game at cornerback since

393
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: Sam Shield. I didn't anticipate that they were going to

394
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: run as many six defensive backpackages in every situation as

395
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: they did. But now that we've seen it, you're starting

396
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: to get a better understanding for why the Packers put

397
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: so many resources into the back end, why they wanted

398
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: Joe wit Jr. Overseeing that entire unit, because there is

399
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: a lot of synergy now. And just to throw one

400
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: more thing out there, I thought kentroll Bryce probably had

401
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: his best game as a Packer two on the back end,

402
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: made a lot of big plays, made a lot of

403
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: big open field tackles, including that one sack that ended

404
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: up being you know, for the out of bounce. I

405
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: just thought a lot of guys stepped up, particularly in

406
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: those last two and a half quarters. Yeah, well, quickly

407
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,959
Speaker 1: before we go, I just want to get your thoughts

408
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: on the rest of Week one in the NFL. What

409
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: what jumped out to you? I mean, for me that

410
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: that game down in New Orleans with the Tampa Bay

411
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: Buccaneers New Orleans Saints, no one saw that coming in

412
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: the NFC South, Ryan Fitzpatrick foreigner plus yards and four

413
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: touchdowns and the Saints, who I thought were was they.

414
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: I thought they were the best team in the NFL

415
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: in the postseason. Last year. They lose on a fluke

416
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. Now suddenly they're trying to figure out what's

417
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: wrong with their defense. Yeah, and you know who's not

418
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: Packers fans. My goodness, I got so many tweets that

419
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: day saying, yeah, who holds the Saints first round draft pick? Again?

420
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: A long way to go, people, But it's gonna be

421
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: funny watching all these Packer fans kind of be you know,

422
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: rail birds the rest of the year with the New

423
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints season. For me, it's it's the Browns. They

424
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: did technically end their losing streak, but they're still looking

425
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: for that win. But and it went viral, But I

426
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: make sure you saw that Cleveland Browns for best best

427
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: start since two thousand four zero zero. Hey, it's it's

428
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: not a loss. So yeah, well, they're still waiting for

429
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: all those refrigerators and the bars to open with all

430
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: the all the beer. I guess that, you know, the

431
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: tie doesn't quite doesn't quite count there. But the Vikings,

432
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: uh Vikings get a big win. Packers are going to

433
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: be playing them at lambau Field next week, the Kirk

434
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: Cousins era starts off right for Minnesota over the forty

435
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: In Minneapolis, it is the Kirk Cousins era, but it's

436
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: still the Minnesota Vikings defense, and they made some big

437
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: plays down the stretch to pull out that victory. And

438
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: it's going to be a really difficult task for the

439
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: Packers this week, no question about it. Yeah, we'll be

440
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,239
Speaker 1: talking about that Vikings defense quite a bit in the

441
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: coming days. With that, we will call it a wrap

442
