Speaker 1: M Hi, everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford. He is Wes Hodkowitz. We're coming
Speaker 1: to you here from our studios at lambeau Field and West.
Speaker 1: It's time to hit on the fourth and final of
Speaker 1: our peak performances. Here we're talking about the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: of the season, games thirteen through sixteen, certainly a fourth
Speaker 1: quarter of the season that did not go as planned
Speaker 1: for the Packers and because of that. Of the five
Speaker 1: peak performances from this segment of the season, three of
Speaker 1: them are from one game, the game in Cleveland, and
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Brett Hunley against the Browns, Davante Adams
Speaker 1: against the Browns, and then Trevor Davis as well. So
Speaker 1: I don't know where you want to start with those three. Obviously,
Speaker 1: all three you were definitely standout performances in a game
Speaker 1: that was a big victory at the time, was keeping
Speaker 1: the Packers in the hunt with Aaron Rodgers coming back
Speaker 1: against Carolina the following week. But um, one of these
Speaker 1: three stick out to you the most as far as
Speaker 1: the Browns game. First and foremost, Mike, one thing you
Speaker 1: have to understand about me I'm a big movie guy. Okay,
Speaker 1: you go, movie comes out, and all the build up
Speaker 1: towards it, the trailers, the preview stories, all that, and
Speaker 1: I used that introduction because I liken that a lot
Speaker 1: to Trevor Davis's punt return in this game. For about
Speaker 1: two months, we got the trailers, we got the reviews,
Speaker 1: we had Ron Zook saying that Trevor Davis was close
Speaker 1: to breaking one. A block here, a block, there, a flag, here,
Speaker 1: a flag there. That was the game. I put all
Speaker 1: my chips at the table, I said, I said, this
Speaker 1: is it. This has got to be the game for
Speaker 1: Trevor Davis. And gosh, Darnardy came through almost like a
Speaker 1: compulsive gambler. Just continue to double down exactly exactly. I
Speaker 1: kept I kept sticking with him. I kept sticking with him,
Speaker 1: and eventually it paid off. Had the ability the entire time. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I think we've seen the speed. He has, great vision,
Speaker 1: I think, particularly on punt returns, his savvy nous. He
Speaker 1: did have some issues with a couple of muff punts
Speaker 1: in the preseason, but we didn't really see that much
Speaker 1: during the regular season and this particular game, I just thought,
Speaker 1: you look at I think a sixty five yard return
Speaker 1: this is what ultimately basically put him in the top
Speaker 1: five for good in punt return average. I think he
Speaker 1: finished the year third overall. Um. I just think when
Speaker 1: you look at a confidence of a young player, this
Speaker 1: is just so important to Trevor Davis because he has
Speaker 1: all the tools to be an impact player both on
Speaker 1: offense and special teams, and I think something like this
Speaker 1: really is going to propel him going forward. So my
Speaker 1: long introduction that is who uh that really stands out
Speaker 1: to me coming out of this game. Yeah, Davis won
Speaker 1: the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week award that week.
Speaker 1: He took that that late punt return at his own
Speaker 1: ten yard line, dodged a bunch of guys, got some
Speaker 1: really nice blocks sixty five yards, leaving the Packers only
Speaker 1: twenty five yards to go to get that tying touch
Speaker 1: down exact to get the game to overtime. And that
Speaker 1: tying touched down then was the work of Brett Hunley
Speaker 1: and Davante Adams with seventeen seconds left to uh to
Speaker 1: get the game to ot and then of course they
Speaker 1: hooked up also on the overtime touchdown pass the walk
Speaker 1: off I don't know if you call it walk off
Speaker 1: runoff of the tunnel, um, But but to go over
Speaker 1: the other statistics there, Brett Hunley in this game thirty
Speaker 1: five of forty six, obviously a lot of passing attempts
Speaker 1: because the Packers were down, a couple of touchdowns there
Speaker 1: in the second half, two and sixty five yards, three touchdowns,
Speaker 1: a one eleven point two passer rating, and then Adams
Speaker 1: finishes the game with ten catches, eighty five yards and
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, the two touchdowns coming at the end of
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and in overtime when he spun away
Speaker 1: from the defense and UH and took at the distance.
Speaker 1: Obviously a big win for the Packers and UH and
Speaker 1: really the culmination in a lot of ways of the
Speaker 1: chemistry we had seen developing between Hunley and Adams over
Speaker 1: the course of several weeks. Adams was really the go
Speaker 1: to guy in the clutch here for Brett Hunley, and
Speaker 1: he came through. It has so much about Davante Adams,
Speaker 1: Mike that his first Pro Bowl season comes in which
Speaker 1: a year that he didn't have really Aaron Rodgers for
Speaker 1: a majority of it. We can really break it down
Speaker 1: five six games all told, so for him to become
Speaker 1: that go to guy and to have that confidence with
Speaker 1: Bret Hunley. Let's be honest here for a young quarterback
Speaker 1: coming in trying to to to find a way, I
Speaker 1: go back to two thousand thirteen, and you know, you
Speaker 1: look like Jared Boykin stepped up when you had Matt
Speaker 1: Flinn at quarterback. And sometimes you just have a chemistry
Speaker 1: with a guy that just you know, is an overwhelming
Speaker 1: sort of thing. And I just look at that performance
Speaker 1: by Davante Adams late, I think for him to step
Speaker 1: up the way he did in a critical time in
Speaker 1: that ball game, and also give credit to Brett Hunley
Speaker 1: for being consistent at a time in which there really
Speaker 1: wasn't any margin for error down the stretch. Um, you
Speaker 1: know it, really I thought Hunley showed an incredible amount
Speaker 1: of moxie, and I thought Davante Adams showed why he's
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl receiver. It didn't matter if it was
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers or Brett Hunley, he was gonna make plays,
Speaker 1: and he did it consistently throughout the season. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a very good point. We've got two other peak performances
Speaker 1: from quarter number four to get to we will do
Speaker 1: that after the breakback with moreen Packerds unscripted. Right after this,
Speaker 1: welcome back to Packers Unscripted. Mike Spofford Here West, Hodkoit's
Speaker 1: over there in West. The last two Peak performances from
Speaker 1: quarter number four and again I should remind fans if
Speaker 1: you'd like to vote for your favorite the story, the highlights,
Speaker 1: everything is on packers dot com. You can cast your
Speaker 1: vote in the poll on the Peak Performances page. The
Speaker 1: last two Randall Cobb at Carolina seven catches eighty four
Speaker 1: yards with a touchdown, and then defensive tackle Kenny Clark
Speaker 1: against the Minnesota Vikings. He had two sacks, which gave
Speaker 1: him four and a half acts over a four game
Speaker 1: span late in the season. I'll start with Cobb at Carolina.
Speaker 1: I think the play obviously that stood out the most
Speaker 1: was when he made himself an outlet for Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: on a scrambled drill at the end of the first half,
Speaker 1: and then the move that he made to take to
Speaker 1: get that into the end zone. There were three guys
Speaker 1: who really had a chance to tackle him, and he
Speaker 1: managed to uh to dodge one and split the other
Speaker 1: two and get the ball across the goal line. Um.
Speaker 1: I know it wasn't the type of season Randall Cobb
Speaker 1: was hoping for in a lot of way, as much
Speaker 1: as it was for for the entire team, but he
Speaker 1: still showed he can make a play once in a while.
Speaker 1: He really did. And this is such an interesting game
Speaker 1: for a number well the first one, as I was
Speaker 1: watching it from a hospital. The real peak performer was
Speaker 1: my wife that day getting birth to our son. But
Speaker 1: I watched the first quarter and then I had to
Speaker 1: step away from it. And later that night I sat
Speaker 1: down and watched it on game pass and I was
Speaker 1: just blown away by Randall Cobb in this game. And
Speaker 1: I think it was a reminder. As you said, it
Speaker 1: wasn't the season Cobb wanted, no question about that, but
Speaker 1: it's a reminder of how dynamic he can be. And
Speaker 1: I just thought you talked the last segment. We talked
Speaker 1: about Aaron bred Hunley and and Davonte Adams having that chemistry,
Speaker 1: the the ability for Rogers to step back in there
Speaker 1: with Cobb and just like with Jordy Nelson just riding
Speaker 1: a bike really um and being able to get back
Speaker 1: into that rhythm. I just think, Cop, you have to
Speaker 1: remember Mike at this point in the season, Packers were
Speaker 1: having a real difficult time getting explosive place for the
Speaker 1: passing game, and for Cobb to start off the way
Speaker 1: he did in that contest, I thought really got them moving.
Speaker 1: With where the final score finished out and how the
Speaker 1: game sort of turned in the second half, You forget,
Speaker 1: the Packers really did have a lot of momentum going
Speaker 1: for them in the first half um and unfortunately it
Speaker 1: wasn't enough. But for anyone that needed a reminder of
Speaker 1: what kind of player Randall Cobb is, I thought that
Speaker 1: this was the perfect embodiment of what he brings to
Speaker 1: an offense. Yeah, and he was just inches away from
Speaker 1: having a huge game because in the third quarter he
Speaker 1: ran a steam route down the middle. He had beaten
Speaker 1: his man, and unfortunately it was just a rusty Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers who was a little short on the throw and
Speaker 1: the throw got picked off. Otherwise that would have been
Speaker 1: a probably a seventy four yard touchdown. He would have
Speaker 1: been looking at a hundred and fifty yard game, maybe
Speaker 1: even more than that with a couple of scores. So
Speaker 1: just just that close, and if if Rogers is in
Speaker 1: peak form himself, instead of coming back from two months off,
Speaker 1: I think we would have seen we would have seen
Speaker 1: a really big play that would have that would have
Speaker 1: flipped that game. But turning the attention then to Kenny
Speaker 1: Clark against Minnesota. This was a game. Obviously, the Packers
Speaker 1: offense got shut out, the Minnesota Vikings were on their
Speaker 1: way to a first round by in the playoffs and
Speaker 1: all that. But the Packers defense on a cold night
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field right around Christmas time, did a pretty
Speaker 1: darn good job against case keenum in that Minnesota offense,
Speaker 1: holding them to just sixteen points. And Kenny Clark had
Speaker 1: a lot to do with that. And this was a
Speaker 1: guy boy when he came back from that ankle injury,
Speaker 1: ust he finished. He finished the season strong. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought his season was over. He gets carted off the field.
Speaker 1: I believe that was against Baltimore, an unfortunate situation that unfolded.
Speaker 1: He ends up missing one game with a high ankle sprain.
Speaker 1: And you've seen guys that try to tough it out, Mike,
Speaker 1: and it just really doesn't come together. You commend them
Speaker 1: for their approach, but they just really aren't impactful. Kenny
Speaker 1: Clark came back and was as good as he's ever been.
Speaker 1: During that final stretch, I believe there was one stat
Speaker 1: that Nate lacas Are Packers pr Mayven came up with.
Speaker 1: I think it was or maybe it was Tom Fanning.
Speaker 1: I think he led the league in sacks, wasn't in
Speaker 1: the December or something like that, four or four and
Speaker 1: a half over that stretch. You forget that this is
Speaker 1: a young man that did not have one before December,
Speaker 1: and I remember how Clinton Dix and some other guys
Speaker 1: lamenting the fact that, you know, surprised at it. You know,
Speaker 1: he hadn't had one yet because of how he'd been playing. Um,
Speaker 1: he finished the season so strong and really I think
Speaker 1: when you break it down at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: was the defensive m v P. You can make an
Speaker 1: argument he was the m v P of the team
Speaker 1: this year with how good he was against the run
Speaker 1: shedding double teams, being able to get those sacks and
Speaker 1: pressures from the inside. They have a great building blocking
Speaker 1: Kenny Clark and he's still only what twenty two years old?
Speaker 1: I mean, he has his best football ahead of him. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: So those are the five peak performances from quarter number
Speaker 1: four of the season. Hunley Adams and Davis at Cleveland,
Speaker 1: cobbat Carolina, and Kenny Clark against Minnesota. You gotta vote
Speaker 1: for a favorite, you know, Davante Adams is probably the
Speaker 1: one that should get this, but I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: Kenny Clark. And the reason why I say that is
Speaker 1: because it this whole run he got on reminded me
Speaker 1: of b J. Raji during his his rookie season to
Speaker 1: some extent, but really during that Super Bowl season, his
Speaker 1: second NFL year, how strong he came out at the
Speaker 1: end and how that really catapulted and changed the defense.
Speaker 1: You can see what kind of impact it makes with it.
Speaker 1: And I think for that reason, keeping in mind the
Speaker 1: two thousand eighteen season at that point is what they're
Speaker 1: focused on, I think you really have to be satisfied
Speaker 1: with what you got out of him down the stretch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'll cast my vote for Davante Adams in Cleveland
Speaker 1: because I want what you said about about Kenny Clark.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe he was the m v P of
Speaker 1: the entire team. I think that's a vote between Clark
Speaker 1: and Adams based on how went to so with that
Speaker 1: will toss to a breakback with more and Packers unscripted.
Speaker 1: Right after this Welcome Back to Packers unscripted, Mike Spofford
Speaker 1: in this chair, Wes Hodkowitz in that one. West, I
Speaker 1: wanted to uh address a couple of things with regards
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame, following up on Jerry Kramer's selection,
Speaker 1: which we talked about quite a bit in our last show,
Speaker 1: But in the interviews that I did on the NFL
Speaker 1: Honors red carpet with Charles Woodson and with Sterling Sharp
Speaker 1: and looking at the way things went with this particular
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame class of it got me thinking about
Speaker 1: a few different things in terms of, Okay, so Jerry
Speaker 1: Kramer's in, what's next for the Packers as far as
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame is concerned? And three things come
Speaker 1: to mind for me. One, will Charles Woodson be a
Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Famer. He's a Hall of Famer,
Speaker 1: He's going to get in. But we saw this year
Speaker 1: brianer Lacker, Ray Lewis, Randy Moss all getting in their
Speaker 1: first year of eligibility. Woodson will be eligible for the
Speaker 1: first time in twenty one. I'm wondering if he's going
Speaker 1: to be another first ballot guy. The other two issues,
Speaker 1: Leroy Butler, and Sterling Sharp. Butler, he became a semifinalist
Speaker 1: for the first time this past year, and now over
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, we've seen Kenny easily got
Speaker 1: in via Senior Committee law Seattle safety from a long
Speaker 1: time ago um and then Brian Dawkins played safety for
Speaker 1: sixteen years in the NFL he got in in the
Speaker 1: class of and over the last couple of years we've
Speaker 1: seen John Lynch and Steve Attwater make the finalist stage.
Speaker 1: Safety is getting a little bit more attention. The other
Speaker 1: thing getting a little more attention is guys with maybe
Speaker 1: the injury shortened careers. Terrell Davis has gotten in. Now
Speaker 1: Tony Basselli was a finalist and there was a lot
Speaker 1: of there's a lot of push for Basselli. I think
Speaker 1: the vote from what I'm reading, it sounds like the
Speaker 1: vote was maybe pretty close for for him to get
Speaker 1: into this Hall of Fame class. So then you wonder
Speaker 1: does that open a door potentially for a guy like
Speaker 1: Sterling Sharp, who only played seven seasons because as of injury,
Speaker 1: but led the NFL three times in receptions, twice in
Speaker 1: receiving yards or no twice in touchdowns. Once in receiving yards.
Speaker 1: So those three issues, I've kind of been kicking them
Speaker 1: around in my mind. Where do you want to start? Well,
Speaker 1: I want to start with the Butler thing quickly because
Speaker 1: we've touched on in the past, and and the only
Speaker 1: point I want to make with Butler and I don't
Speaker 1: want to come off as the squeaky wheel here. We
Speaker 1: you know, Jerry Kramer's in, so that's plenty to be
Speaker 1: happy about. But you know, I don't know what's going
Speaker 1: to happen with Leroy. I'm not sure how this is
Speaker 1: gonna play out. Um, and you know, we made the semifinals.
Speaker 1: He needs to get a run now. I think is
Speaker 1: the finals being the next step getting his name into
Speaker 1: that room on that conversation for for Pete Doherty from
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Presscauseette to make that argument for him.
Speaker 1: Here's the two things I want to point out with Butler.
Speaker 1: If John Lynch and Steve Atwater, and no disrespect to
Speaker 1: either of them, congrats to John on the trade for
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, but no, but both of those guys are
Speaker 1: great safeties. The fact that they've been finalists before Leroy
Speaker 1: Butler has ever been a semifinals is still absolutely befuddling
Speaker 1: to me. Go back and watch the Packers of those
Speaker 1: mid to late nineties, Fritz Shermer's defenses come and I
Speaker 1: commend Fritz Shermer for how he used LA. People didn't
Speaker 1: use safeties that way at that time. He was playing
Speaker 1: a role that is popular today. I just I still
Speaker 1: to this day. And the two things hurting Larroy is
Speaker 1: the fact that he didn't really move to safety until
Speaker 1: his third season, and then he had the career ending
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. If you had a little bit more time
Speaker 1: on either side of it, I think he has a
Speaker 1: more compelling argument. But still, I look at Atwater's stats,
Speaker 1: and I look at Lynches stats, and I look at
Speaker 1: who they were playing with. You're really telling me the
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, And then that went into the next
Speaker 1: year is eleven and a half point favorite super Bowl
Speaker 1: thirty two. They had two Super Bowl or two Envy
Speaker 1: or two Pro Football Hall of Fame players on those teams.
Speaker 1: I just don't buy it. Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I think I think Butler's candidacy deserves more attention than
Speaker 1: it's getting. He was the first defensive back and a
Speaker 1: lot of other guys have done it since, but he
Speaker 1: was the first guy to get to twenty sacks and
Speaker 1: twenty interceptions as a defensive back. And that's when you
Speaker 1: talk about using guys in different ways. Butler, Fritz Shermer,
Speaker 1: they were, they were the guys on the cutting edge
Speaker 1: with that. And I think that's the part with with
Speaker 1: him that needs to be recognized a little bit more.
Speaker 1: If he could have just gotten I think, and it's
Speaker 1: it's only one and a half away. Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: I think that that would have really really put him
Speaker 1: over the top because now you look at Charles Woodson
Speaker 1: coming up in a couple of years where he put
Speaker 1: that bar. I mean, it's remarkable now what defensive backs
Speaker 1: are doing. Yeah, and Charles Woodson, I think he's going
Speaker 1: to be a first ballot absolutely. I think he's going
Speaker 1: to get in right away with his class. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think with the guys that he that he retired with,
Speaker 1: there's some talented guys in there. But I just I
Speaker 1: think it's a no brainer. Yeah, it's gonna be Peyton Manning.
Speaker 1: And there's another one too, I think who's a potential
Speaker 1: first ballot guy And it's it's slipping my mind right now,
Speaker 1: who also retired at the end of the Calvin Johnson
Speaker 1: make a TS. Yeah, so you could potentially have another
Speaker 1: class there of three first ballot guy is in. I
Speaker 1: just really want to see Peyton Manning and Charles Woodson
Speaker 1: going together. No that that's no, but you're right, those
Speaker 1: are the two guys. They were one two in the
Speaker 1: They were the one too in the Heisman voting the
Speaker 1: year that they came out of college. So so yeah,
Speaker 1: that really would be special to see them going together.
Speaker 1: With regards to Sterling Sharp, his odds I think are
Speaker 1: longer than Leroy Butler's I think Butler has a better chance.
Speaker 1: But it's interesting you you look at what Sharp did
Speaker 1: and if they are if if people on the committee,
Speaker 1: voters and stuff are going to look a little bit
Speaker 1: more at injury shortened careers. This is a guy who
Speaker 1: he broke Art Monks record for receptions in a single
Speaker 1: season and then broke his own record the following year. Now,
Speaker 1: since then, he had a hundred and twelve that second time,
Speaker 1: which was the NFL, which was an NFL record. Since then,
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of guys have gotten more than a
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve, But at the time he got a
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve and that was the NFL record for
Speaker 1: a single season. He had set that record, you know,
Speaker 1: two years in a row himself. That says something about
Speaker 1: being a dominant player, even though the career unfortunately wasn't
Speaker 1: as long as a lot of people would have hoped. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you do wonder if he could have had a
Speaker 1: Donald Driver type run just where he would have put
Speaker 1: some of those franchise records and no disrespected driver. And
Speaker 1: then I'm just saying in terms of what trajectory he
Speaker 1: was on pays for no question at that point in time,
Speaker 1: and if he could have had a few more years
Speaker 1: with with Brett Farve, but whatever the case, may be
Speaker 1: a phenomenal football player. I think sometimes because of the
Speaker 1: shortened career, because of you know, I'm playing his first
Speaker 1: four or five seasons without five, he doesn't get a
Speaker 1: lot of notoriety for that. Um, but I you know,
Speaker 1: I go back to I think Shannon Sharpe said in
Speaker 1: his Hall of Fame speech that he's a Pro Football
Speaker 1: famer and he's a second best player in his family. Um.
Speaker 1: It's just it's such a it's such an impactful thing
Speaker 1: for for a guy like that to say that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and and Sterling had eight team touchdowns in one season,
Speaker 1: which is still the Packers single season record at a
Speaker 1: time where there was only like twenty four to twenty
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns a year. Was a great season for a
Speaker 1: quarterback to throw. So it's it's pretty remarkable, all right.
Speaker 1: With that, we'll tell us to a break back with
Speaker 1: more on Packer's Unscripted Reddit to this Welcome back to
Speaker 1: Packers Unscripted Mike Spofford alongside West, hod Cowits and West. Quickly,
Speaker 1: before I forget, I need to take care of some
Speaker 1: sponsor business. Your attention, Packers fans. We're calling you to
Speaker 1: fill up with Campbell's Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup. We're talking delicious,
Speaker 1: hearty SUP packaged in an exclusive Packers super Fan can.
Speaker 1: These cans are limited edition for all you football fanatics
Speaker 1: out there, so don't miss out. Go on, huddle up
Speaker 1: and fill up with this hearty soup. Chunky Soup, the
Speaker 1: official SUP partner of the Green Bay Packers. Before we
Speaker 1: go West, one issue I think to follow up on
Speaker 1: with regards to the super Bowl, and that's quarterback Nick Foles.
Speaker 1: We didn't really talk about him probably enough in our
Speaker 1: last show, and this is a great example that you know,
Speaker 1: we'll go down in history and we will see where
Speaker 1: Nick foles career goes from here. But guys don't often
Speaker 1: get the chance to climb their way out of the box,
Speaker 1: so to speak. And this was a guy who was
Speaker 1: pegged as as the one hit wonder in Chip Kelly's offense.
Speaker 1: He was the Tommy two tone of of NFL quarterbacks
Speaker 1: because he had that great year with twenty seven touchdowns
Speaker 1: and only a couple of interceptions and then you know,
Speaker 1: kind of fell off the map. Um, He's put himself
Speaker 1: back on the map, and credit to him. He got
Speaker 1: his opportunity and uh, and he cashed in. He took
Speaker 1: advantage of it. And I just I absolutely loved his
Speaker 1: postgame speech about failure and success. And I think this
Speaker 1: is such an important message for people out there in
Speaker 1: every walk of life, Mike, because so often there's a
Speaker 1: negative connotation associated with losing, failure, mistakes, and I think
Speaker 1: sometimes that can overwhelm and eliminate really the reality we
Speaker 1: all live in. And so many times over the years
Speaker 1: I've been talking with Packer fans about the way Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers plays and how consistent he is and in the
Speaker 1: level and the throws and the vision. It's just even
Speaker 1: he makes mistakes, even he there's plays he wants back.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Randall Cob throw. Nick Foles. I think
Speaker 1: his perspective on things. The guy that just won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Super Bowl m v P played what appeared
Speaker 1: to be a perfect game, made so many clutch throws
Speaker 1: through windows that are almost impossible for a normal human
Speaker 1: being to ever be able to get remotely through. And
Speaker 1: for the second game in a row, when you go
Speaker 1: back to that NFC type, the second game in a
Speaker 1: row and Doug Peterson to have the confidence in the
Speaker 1: young man to come through, you kind of forget what
Speaker 1: happened in St. Louis and the fact that he got
Speaker 1: traded from Philadelphia. It was that big Sam Bradford deal.
Speaker 1: The Rams think they have a guy that's gonna be
Speaker 1: their starting quarterback, and he starts eleven games and it
Speaker 1: doesn't work out, and the next year they offload him
Speaker 1: to the chiefs ends up back and up. You know,
Speaker 1: Al Smith, there's questions about whether or not he was
Speaker 1: going to retire, and for him to get this opportunity
Speaker 1: and to not be starstruck, to not be uh, you know,
Speaker 1: like to not be paralyzed by the moment. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I think there's just a lesson for everybody
Speaker 1: out there, in any walk of life of exactly what
Speaker 1: it means to persevere and to put your best foot forward. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and a lot of eyes will
Speaker 1: now be on a just where Nick Fole's career goes.
Speaker 1: He's under contract another year, uh for a high salary
Speaker 1: for a backup quarterback. Certainly, Um, the Eagles, you know
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. He injured his knee in December. So what's
Speaker 1: the timeline there with Wentz? I don't know. I said
Speaker 1: this in our Insider inbox. If I'm the Eagles, I'm
Speaker 1: keeping him on the roster just for safe keeping unless
Speaker 1: certain there's no way he should not be on the roster. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, with that, we'll call it a wrap on
Speaker 1: this edition of Packers Unscripted. Be sure to follow all
Speaker 1: of our coverage of the team on Packers dot Com
Speaker 1: on Twitter. He's still west Hod, I'm still Mike's bofford
Speaker 1: at Packers is still the team account. Thanks for tuning in, everybody.
Speaker 1: We'll see you next time. H m hm.
