1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com. 2 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford, sitting next to my trusted colleague 3 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: West Hodkuwitz. Were coming to you here from our studios 4 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: at lambeau Field. We are back from New Jersey, a 5 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: snowy and rainy New Jersey. About that fresh off at 6 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: victory for the Packers over the Giants, one of those 7 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 1: December football games that was fun to watch. I'm sure 8 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: it was a little bit fun to play in, but 9 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: also somewhat difficult to play and it was a challenging 10 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: weather day in East brother first, so this was really interesting. Afterwards, 11 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: Tremont Williams was talking with the media and he mentioned 12 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: for him, you know, thirty six years old, however long 13 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: he's playing this league now, he'd never been a part 14 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: of a game quite like that. In terms of you 15 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: and I were doing the periscope before the game. It's 16 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: sort of like hailing on us. It was rain, to hail, 17 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: back to rain, to snow, and then it ended in rain. 18 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: As we were leaving the stadium, it was like, yeah, 19 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: it was pouring in Jersey as week as we were 20 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: getting on the buses to go to the airport. But 21 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: it was also you know, it's a unique playing surface 22 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: though too right, because it's a turf field that it's 23 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: an outdoor turf field, so unlike Lambeau Field, if there's 24 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: snow that falls, it just stays there. They have to 25 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: shovel it off. And I mean, I actually got to 26 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: be thankful that they didn't get more snow because then 27 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: they would have really had problems. Um, but yeah, take 28 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: that all away. A very fun game to watch in 29 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: terms of adding an additional element to it to kind 30 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: of ramp up some of the excitement. Well, it wasn't 31 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: the prettiest victory by any means for the Packers, and 32 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: it was tight for a while. It was seventeen to 33 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: thirteen late into the third quarter, but the Packers got 34 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: the drive that they needed and uh, as I wrote 35 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: about in my postgame editorial on the plane coming back, 36 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of Aaron Rodgers magic that the 37 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: Packers needed to get that touched on drive seventeen to thirteen, 38 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: you need a fourth and ten conversion to Geronimo Allison 39 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: with Marcus Golden bearing down on Aaron Rodgers, he gets 40 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: to pass away for the completion and the first down 41 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: and then a first and goal at the one turns 42 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: into third and goal from the seventeen after a couple 43 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: of tackles for loss and a penalty in there, and 44 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers catches the Giants with twelve men on the field, 45 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: catches him in a substitution, gets the free play. Davante 46 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: Adams is open in the end zone, touchdown, and the 47 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: Packers are back up by two scores, and they were 48 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: in control the rest of the way. So this is 49 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: what you know. Sometimes we'll sit here and we'll talk 50 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: about an incredible throw. Aaron Rodgers made you think of 51 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: the Aaron Jones one earlier this season. You think of 52 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: Jake Kumero along the sideline, You think of all these 53 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: different moments that he's had. The reason that Geronimo Allison 54 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: place stands out to me, though it's not like he 55 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: made the world's greatest throw, but his vision and his 56 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: ability to see Allison come open in the middle of 57 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: the field a critical fourth and tent situation. The Packers 58 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: they actually were pretty good on third downs, and it 59 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: was because, you know, in some cases they did have 60 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: favorable down and distance. In other cases, Aaron Rodgers just 61 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: made it work. Uh. I think one of the DeVante 62 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: catches was in that they converted on a couple of 63 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: defensive pass interference penalties. But with the running game kind 64 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: of being held in check against the Giants, and the Giants, 65 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: if you watched the way those inside linebackers are playing, 66 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: they were selling out to stop the run, especially up 67 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: the middle. Yeah, that defensive front came as advertised against 68 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: the run. They shut down the run, but they didn't 69 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: get a whole lot of pressure on Rogers, and Rogers 70 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: was very well protected. The offensive line had a really 71 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: good day in past protection, but they did struggle to 72 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: generate some things up front and the running game. So 73 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: if you don't if the running game isn't consistently moving, 74 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: the pylon isn't consistently moving the sticks for you, you 75 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: have to be able to throw the ball. And although 76 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: it was not advantageous conditions for that, Rogers made at work. 77 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: Al Lazard comes out forty three yard catch right off 78 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: the beginning of the game. In Lazard had two of 79 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: those catches in this game, like both in the first quarter, 80 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: the ones where I say I always I call those 81 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: the you verse you catches where there he's completely wide 82 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: open It's like the Randall Cobb catch against the Bears 83 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: back in thirteen. Yeah, nobody's defending you. There is no 84 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: threat of imminent danger from a safety. You just have 85 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: to make the play in Lazard did that on the 86 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: forty three yarder. He also did on the thirty seven 87 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: yard touchdown, ends up resulting in his first hundred yard game. 88 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: I am so thankful. If there was anything that I 89 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: was so pleased about with this game, Davante Adams had 90 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, So we can throw out this terrible narrative about, oh, 91 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't have any touchdowns at all. Okay, Davante Adams has. 92 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: He has thirty se in his career. Now at this point, 93 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna score touchdowns. Just fill your columns 94 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: the way you need to fill them. But the time's 95 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 1: gonna end there that that that that's gonna go away. 96 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: Adams played well, Alison made. It was just those two catches, 97 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: but they were credible important the one on fourth and ten, 98 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: the one on third and five. The receiver stepped up 99 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: and then, certainly, as Roger said after the game, a 100 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: meaningful touchdown, a special touchdown, being able to get his 101 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: first connection with with Mercedes Lewis and the end zone 102 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: his thirty eight different receiver now to catch a touchdown 103 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: from Rogers. They lifted him when they needed to be lifted. Yeah. 104 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: I mean, the reason I keep going back to that 105 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: drive that spanned the end of the third beginning of 106 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter is you know, if you don't convert 107 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: the fourth and ten to Allison, the Giants are getting 108 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: the ball back at seventeen. If you don't get the 109 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: touchdown on third and goal from the seventeen and you 110 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: tack on three, it's still a one score game. It's 111 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: twenty to thirteen and the Giants are getting the ball 112 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: back only down by seven. That drive, that drive was 113 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: so critical. And then after that the Packers came back defensively. 114 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: On the next two possessions back to back, they get 115 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: interceptions of rookie quarterback Daniel Jones the second and third 116 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: picks of the game. Kevin King had one in the 117 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: first half. Then Darnell Savage and Tremont Williams get the 118 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: airs in the second half. And I had talked about 119 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: this last week West and I don't remember if it 120 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: was on this show or on Final Thoughts or which 121 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: one of our video productions it was, but now we're 122 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: up to four times this season that the Packers defense 123 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: has not generated a turnover in a game. San Francisco 124 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: was the fourth time that had happened, and now all 125 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: four times the next game when the Packers have not 126 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: had a turnover, they've had multiple takeaways. Defensively, this defense 127 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: has its issues. Again. They gave up a few too 128 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: many big plays, especially to a rookie quarterback. In my opinion, 129 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: they did hold see Kwan Barkley pretty well in check 130 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: given those conditions. But this defense, it's it's there. They're 131 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: a takeaway defense. West, I think, I think you know 132 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: they are what they are at this point. And when 133 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: they can make those kinds of plays when they can 134 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: force a bad throw from a quarterback with pressure. Packers 135 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: didn't get any sacks, but the pressure led to at 136 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: least a couple of those three interceptions. Sure, when they 137 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: can make plays like that, the Packers become a complimentary team. 138 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: You know, the defense does it's part, The offense does 139 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: its part when the defense doesn't make those plays, because 140 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: they're going to give up plays. They've shown the pattern 141 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: now for a long time. They're going to give up 142 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: plays and and some things like that are going to happen. 143 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: But if they don't make those plays going the other way, 144 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: then it just all sort of falls on Aaron Rodgers 145 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: and then the Packers are in trouble, right And there's 146 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: a couple of key points to this. The first one 147 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: is there have been times in recent weeks where the 148 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: Packers could stop drives with an interception. They haven't been 149 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: able to catch those balls where they were inches away 150 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: from making a play. Kyler Facral had an opportunity at 151 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: a strip sack late in That ball would take like 152 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: ninety total yards off of the Giants total if he's 153 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: able to make it, But be that as it may, 154 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: missed it by an eyelash. Kevin King and Darnell Savage 155 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: had again give me interceptions where the ball is thrown 156 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: directly to you. The pressure was in Neil Jones face. 157 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: It forces the rookie quarterback into making a mistake, and 158 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: they made him. Tremon Williams I tweeted this during the game, 159 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,559 Speaker 1: that interception he made. That is is close to those 160 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: defensive back pass catching drills that they run during training camp. 161 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: You have the two defensive backs going against each other 162 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: and the guy just has to go up and high 163 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: point the ball down the sign like Truman Williams did 164 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: that to exactly the point that he should have. The 165 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: remark was made afterwards about his leaping ability, his vertical 166 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: all of that is still relatively intact for a veteran 167 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: defensive back, but Trumon Williams absolutely high pointed it where 168 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: he needed to be to get that ball. The three takeaways, 169 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,599 Speaker 1: as you said, that is the bread and butter of 170 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: Green Bay. You and I. One of our big emphasis 171 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: going into this game was being able to take the 172 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: ball away against an offense that has given it away 173 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: as much as they have this season, a rookie quarterback 174 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: who's had trouble protecting the ball. That's been Daniel Jones's 175 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: biggest problem as a rookie, and he fumbled again one 176 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: after they boarded play. And here's the deal, Mike, you 177 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: can flash it back if Marvin wants to bring it 178 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: up by all means go ahead. From final thoughts when 179 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: we talked about this on Friday, the Packers need to stop, 180 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: say Kwon Barkley. They mostly did. He did not have 181 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: an explosive gain on the on the ground. He only 182 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: averaged four point four carry you'll take that against q 183 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: qu especially on a day on a day like that, 184 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: and if you're going to give up yards, okay, be 185 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: that as it may, but that makes the common denominator 186 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: in all this takeaways and Aaron Rodgers is not going 187 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: to give the ball away. The Packers protected the football 188 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: and those elements and the Giants had three of them, 189 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: and if you look at the final score and the 190 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: way that the passer ratings worked out, that was the difference. Yeah, 191 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: that was the difference in the game. I don't want 192 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: to forget here.

We believe in better. Okay. I want to 197 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: go back to Alan Lazard for a second because you 198 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: had mentioned it his first hundred yard game of his career. 199 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: He did it on three catches forty three yards thirty 200 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 1: seven yards and what was three of my sports math, Yeah, 201 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: three explosive plays. He gets his first career hundred yard game. 202 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: Turns out, I guess I was a week early on 203 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: Alan Lazard because coming out of the bye week, if 204 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 1: you recall, I wrote about him on the website, I 205 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: talked about him on this show, I talked about him 206 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: on Final Thoughts. I called him my player to watch. 207 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: I really felt heading into the bye week that Alan 208 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: Lazard was showing that he he is evolving into the 209 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: number two receiver in this offense. And yesterday against the Giants, 210 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: it didn't happen for him in San Francisco. I was 211 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: a week early in all of my hype for him, 212 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: but he came up with his second really really big 213 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: performance of the season. Um and uh against the Giants. 214 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: He was the guy really that that got the Packers 215 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: going early and uh. I have to believe after a 216 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: performance like that that he the snaps the opportunities he 217 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: really is going to merge. I think as as the 218 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: number two option behind Davante Adams, as far as the 219 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: wide receivers are considered. Yeah, I agree with you. I'm 220 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: just trying to look quickly to see how he played 221 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: thirty seven of the sixty seven snaps forty two for Toronto, 222 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: Allison and obviously DeVante leading that group with fifty two. 223 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, he's playing more and more and you want 224 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: to see that just because of what he offers and 225 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: what he brings to the table. The thing that I 226 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,839 Speaker 1: continue to be completely awe struck by is that this 227 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: guy went undrafted. I mean, Iowa State is not the 228 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: Iowa State of ten years ago. Remind you he did 229 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: go through some losing years, but he was a part 230 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: of the uptick over there. And you know, there were 231 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: so many people that got fixated on his speed and 232 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: as I mentioned to you last week, even in San 233 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: Francisco on the end a round, he had the second 234 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: fastest next gen speed that was timed. Now he's made 235 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 1: a series of changes with his diet. I think that's 236 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: enabled him to be able to pull that out of himself. 237 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: But six ft five, this is a prototype receiver in 238 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: terms of what you want to have in what he 239 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: offers to an offense. And Aaron Rodgers picked up on 240 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: that really early in camp uh when we're all the 241 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: discussion was still on the three rookies from last year 242 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: and in Coumero and everybody else, and rightfully so, they 243 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: all had their moments. Alan Lazard was the most consistent 244 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: throughout that entire summer and it enabled him to. I mean, 245 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: you gotta remember this guy was cut on final cuts, 246 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: but he came right back much like Geran wo Allison 247 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: did in sixteen and has just been, uh, you know, 248 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: a godsend for this offense and and what he's been 249 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: asked to do. So I just the thing that stands 250 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: out to me from the very beginning with him is, 251 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: and Roger spoke on this two weeks ago, there isn't 252 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: a deer in the headlights thing with him. He doesn't 253 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: care that he was undrafted. He doesn't care that he 254 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: spent last year on a practice squad, he doesn't care 255 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,599 Speaker 1: that he started this year on a practice squad. He 256 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: just wants to play football. And if you put him 257 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: in that predicament, if he gets himself open downfield, he's 258 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 1: not going to drop the ball. He is going to 259 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: be up for it. And the amount of big plays 260 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: that he's made this year averaging fifteen yards of catch. 261 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: Right now, Alan Lazard is a problem man, and offenses 262 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: are gonna have to start scheming for him because it 263 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,599 Speaker 1: isn't just Davante Adams. And Adams said he said this 264 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: to guys in the huddle, you know, and I wrote 265 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: about this in the game notes. So many years it 266 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: was Jordy Nelson, Cobb and then Adams or and or 267 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: James Jones. Pick your your poison. That the last year, 268 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: it's showing that this when this offense is at its maximum, 269 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: there are multiple guys that you have to account for 270 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: because any of them can step up at a given time. Now, 271 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: are you gonna put any of them right now in 272 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: the category of Nelson and Cobb. No, But when you 273 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: have that many different guys that after that many different skills, 274 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: it is what enables you in any given week for 275 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: it to be Al Lazard's day. You picked last week. 276 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: The main reason you picked last week is because you 277 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: can't just dictate and predict that he's gonna play sixty 278 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: snaps and have ten targets. This was Alan Lazard's game. 279 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: It was his chance to make an impact early. He did. 280 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: The Packers got the fast start they needed, they got 281 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: a three and out on defense, and while it was 282 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: tight there for a time, the momentum in this entire 283 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: contest was in Green Bay's favor. Yeah, well, Aaron Rodgers 284 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: ends up with four touchdown passes. You do that, you 285 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: up pass rating in those kind of conditions that that 286 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: that's a heck of a day. The fourth touchdown pass 287 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: goes to Marcedes Lewis, the big dog at tight end. 288 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: He gets his first touchdown as a member of the Packers. 289 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers gets to add another player to his list 290 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: of guys on the receiving end of his touchdown passes, 291 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: and it sounds like Rogers might have to come up 292 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: with another nickname for him, at least at the line 293 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, because he he called his shot apparently, UM. 294 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: The TV mikes picking up the big dog, big dog 295 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: call right before the one yard touchdown pass to Marcedes Lewis, 296 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: UM a fun one. Rogers enjoyed it, celebrating it. Heck 297 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: of a play by Rogers to actually get that throw 298 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: off and make it accurately with with that pass rusher 299 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: draped on his shoulder at the time, but it becomes 300 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: the one that caps the scoring for green Bay, puts 301 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: him up by three scores and put this one to bed. 302 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: You know what's great about that play and really this 303 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: entire season from Marcedes Lewis, and this speaks a lot 304 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: to Lewis and his character. Mercedes Lewis thirteen years ago 305 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: as a first round pick, and he was a pro 306 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: bowler in two thousand and ten. He's been to the 307 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: highs and for guys, it's not always easy. In years eleven, twelve, 308 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: and thirteen, you see a lot of guys just retired 309 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: because they don't want to accept a secondary role. And 310 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: he was close to retire, and he was close, but 311 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't because of a lack of production. It was 312 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: just a question in his mind, like, hey, do I 313 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: still want to do this? And he did because of 314 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: the idea of team and the fact that he enjoyed 315 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: the relationship he has with Jimmy Graham and Rodgers in 316 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: this offense, for Louis to be willing to accept the 317 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: role that he's been in the last two years, and 318 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: you heard Rogers talk about it al Lazard. I was 319 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: asking him about it after the game. It is incredible 320 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: to see the selflessness that's involved with that because he 321 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: knows he's mostly there for blocking. He knows he's mostly 322 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: there for type packages. And then there's the external threat 323 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: this year that he can still catch the ball. They've 324 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: used that more and I think that's helped make him 325 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: a little bit less predictable when he's on the field. 326 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: The best part about looking back at that play was 327 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: just how adamant Rogers was. And you can talk about 328 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: the words and you're right, big dog, big dog, big dog, 329 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: that's a giveaway. But once that ball was was was 330 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, snapped. Does that not remind you of like 331 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: the kid in school that's like, I gotta get the 332 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: ball to my buddy over the the hop and the 333 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: skip and everything else. In Rogers that was just I mean, 334 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: he's dipping his shoulder trying to stay elude the rush. 335 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: He was getting that ball to Mercedes Lewis. They're able 336 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: to connect on it. And as Rogers talked about it 337 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: and Lewis talked about it too, this goes beyond football 338 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: for those two. You don't see a lot of the 339 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: impact that Mercedes Lewis has had on this locker room. 340 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: A lot of it is within those doors. But this 341 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: is a beloved player. He's an emotional he's a verbal leader, 342 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: a vocal leader. And there's a reason why Lewis plays 343 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: as much as he does, the accountability that he has 344 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: and just being able to make the impact that he's 345 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: had in a very short time here in Green Bay. Yeah, Well, 346 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: with the wind, the Packers get to nine and three, 347 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: they temporarily move into sole possession of first place in 348 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: the NFC North the Minnesota Vikings at eight and three. 349 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: They're playing Monday night football in Seattle. So we'll talk 350 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: about the whole picture and where things stand and all 351 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: the other results from week thirteen in the NFL on 352 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: tomorrow's show, because then the Seahawks Vikings game will be 353 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: in the bank and we'll we'll really have a sense 354 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 1: of where everything is. So we'll delay that discussion for tomorrow, 355 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: but before we go today, we definitely do need to 356 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: talk about Packers kicker Mason Crosby and the game that 357 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: he had. Finding out on Friday morning, I believe it 358 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: was that his sister in law, Brittany, his brother Reese's wife, 359 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: passed away after a battle with ovarian cancer. And um, 360 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: you wrote a story on this, a great story on 361 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: our website a while back west as Um, the Crosby's 362 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: were going through this and Mason Crosby's wife, Molly also 363 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:08,719 Speaker 1: had a medical situation UM this past summer as well.

Just a just a 372 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: tremendous effort by a veteran kicker, the franchises all time 373 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: leading score and one of the most respected and beloved 374 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: players in that locker room. Yeah. First off, I mean, 375 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: you gotta hit your captain, Mason. So they find out 376 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: about this on Friday morning, him and Molly and his family. 377 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: They fly down to Austin, Texas, get to Georgetown where 378 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: you know recent and they're all from where Brittany was. Yeah, 379 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: that's that's uh, that's Mason Crosby's hometown for those who 380 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: don't know, Georgetown, Texas. So he goes down there, he 381 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: spends the day with them, He flies in on Saturday 382 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: to New York, does his whole pregame preparation and then, um, 383 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: I mean it's incredible you look at it for him 384 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: to step up the way he has and he's done 385 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: it before. But you know, he said he's having a 386 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: career year in spite of everything that happened with Molly 387 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: during training camp. He's in a battle with Sam Ficken 388 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: for the kicking job. She undergoes surgery. At the end 389 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: of August. When she has a surgery, Reese and Brittany 390 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: come up to spend the week with her, while Mason 391 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: is getting ready for the first, you know, game of 392 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: the year and finding out if he still has his 393 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: job with the Packers, and for him to do what 394 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: he's done. I think it speaks volumes about Mason. I 395 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: think it speaks volumees about their family. And you know, 396 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: if you were introduced to brittany story at all, and 397 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you read my story, if you 398 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: read Matt Sneidman's, Rob Amowsky's, Tom Silverstein, a number of 399 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: people have covered this topic, you are being welcomed into 400 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: the world of a truly amazing person. And I wrote 401 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: that story back in um late two thousand seventeen, and 402 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: I knew Reese a little bit, and I knew of 403 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: Brittney's story because Brittney she wasn't able to be there 404 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: when Mason made those big kicks at at and T Stadium, 405 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: and she was nine days out from her first surgery 406 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: after being diagnosed at seven years old with ovarian cancer, 407 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: and it if it's tough, it's it's one of these 408 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,959 Speaker 1: deals where she was so strong through this entire thing. 409 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: And if you followed her on Instagram, you followed her 410 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: on Facebook, her mentality throughout all of this and the 411 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: positivity that she put out there. I can only hope 412 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: if I ever encounter something like this, I can be 413 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: as strong she was. Because there are people that win 414 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: the lottery in this life, and there are people that 415 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: get stricken with something like she was stricken with and 416 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: it is not fair, but she came back. She was there. 417 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: Later that year, Mason makes the two biggest kicks of 418 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,479 Speaker 1: his life. He's wearing that teal brist band for her. 419 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: She makes it. She climbs those stairs at a T 420 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: and T stadium to watch him play eight nine months later, 421 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: whatever that was. And I asked Mason for permission to 422 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: write that story on her on their battle, and I 423 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: talked to Reese about it, and the thing that if 424 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: you watch Britney's videos, if you watch her speak, she 425 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: is so eloquent. She is an amazing just aura about 426 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: her energy, about her. She wasn't always comfortable with that though. 427 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: She wasn't always for sure that she wanted to do it, 428 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: but she felt compelled to because if early detection is 429 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: so critical with cancer, especially something like she was dealing with. 430 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 1: There was no scans that we're going to tell her 431 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: that she had to listen to her body, and if 432 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: she would have caught it sooner from stage three see 433 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: for you know, she might have had a better shot 434 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: with this thing. But she wanted to get that message 435 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: out to people it doesn't matter male female, to to 436 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: stay up on that stuff. And getting to know her 437 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: and getting to know Reese over the last two years, 438 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: it has been an incredible journey. I cannot say enough 439 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: about either of them and what they've been through, in 440 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: the impact that they've made on people. And for Mason 441 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: to be able to compartmentalize everything that he's dealt with 442 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: with Molly, with with Brittany, with everything they've dealt with 443 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: as a family, the jet leg that comes with that moment, 444 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: and being able to keep your emotions out of it 445 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: in that moment, it says a tremendous amount about his character. 446 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: And I just got to say, I mean, I love 447 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: you Reese, your family loves you. The impact that Brittany 448 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: had is going to go so much further than what 449 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: her thirty years on this earth is going to be 450 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: able to encapsulate. So I uh that that story I 451 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: tweeted this last week, that story changed me. Had changed 452 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: the way I look at life. Uh, the way you 453 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: see your everyday life. Um in the positivity she attacked 454 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: that thing. They went on vacations. I remember the week 455 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: after my story ran. In between the time in which 456 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: I talked to them and when the story ran back 457 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 1: in seventeen, she was in remission. Then she's out of remission. 458 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: They still went to Disney World because they had to 459 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: plan a trip planned for Disney World in December of seventeen. 460 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: The the adventures that her and Reese went on, it 461 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: was inspiring. And I apologize for rambling. I apologize for 462 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: going on and on about this, but it is a 463 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: it is an emotional roller coaster for someone that is 464 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: just an onlooker for Mason and everything their family deal with. 465 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: I my heart goes out to them, my thoughts and 466 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: prayers go out to them, and I just hope for 467 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: the very best because at the end of this, when 468 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: it's all said and done. We only have the time 469 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: we got Mike, you know, And I really hope if 470 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: if anyone's been touched by her story and read about it, 471 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: heard about it. I don't want just to make sure 472 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: you appreciate it, because it doesn't last forever. Yeah, that's 473 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: for sure.
