Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to another edition of Packers unscripted from
Speaker 1: Packers dot Com. I am Mike Spoffer, joined as always
Speaker 1: by the one and the only, Weston had Kowitz. We're
Speaker 1: coming to you here once again from distant locations at
Speaker 1: lambeau Field West. Maybe maybe fingers crossed the last time
Speaker 1: in a while that we'll have to do the show
Speaker 1: this way. No promises, no guarantees. We will see what
Speaker 1: next week brings. But in the meantime, since our last show,
Speaker 1: the Packers held their last two public practices of training
Speaker 1: camp out at Raynichki Field on Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday
Speaker 1: was an awfully hot one, but everybody seemed to get
Speaker 1: through it. Okay, your observations. As the Packers wrapped up
Speaker 1: these last two public practices.
Speaker 2: Rashan Gary wanted to play some foot. It was my observation.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, Mike uh. He's been going through
Speaker 3: the individuals the last couple of weeks. As Matt Lefuller
Speaker 3: told us earlier this week, he was finally going to
Speaker 3: take that next step to team. I was so incredibly
Speaker 3: impressed by what I saw from number fifty two. First
Speaker 3: and foremost, he took two to one on one reps
Speaker 3: in the offensive line versus defensive front drills and going
Speaker 3: up against Zach Tom, who is a terrific offensive lineman.
Speaker 3: I think is gonna be a good starter for the
Speaker 3: Packers for years to come. But when you see the
Speaker 3: when they always say there's levels to this game. That's
Speaker 3: a big phrase in MMA. But there Rashaan Gary's on
Speaker 3: another level now. Because the one thing I took away
Speaker 3: from his two reps against Tom, and a lot of
Speaker 3: it was just showing his natural strength and also some
Speaker 3: of the pressures he had on Jordan Love and the
Speaker 3: team periods had one of the sacks I think you
Speaker 3: would call perceived sack and one of the one of
Speaker 3: the team's drills.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing about Rashaan Gary that.
Speaker 3: Is so impressive to me when we came in and
Speaker 3: he's a twenty one year old kid and everybody knows, okay,
Speaker 3: you know, he's he's going to be a project here,
Speaker 3: but there's a lot of potential there. We talked about
Speaker 3: how he would rely on his bull rush a lot
Speaker 3: right right out of the gate. When you talk about
Speaker 3: all the other tools and the other the other weapons
Speaker 3: that can be used in his Arsenal. I think that's
Speaker 3: what we're seeing with Rashaun Gary in those rushes against
Speaker 3: Zach Tom. You know, he used some speed, he used
Speaker 3: some speed to power, he used his power to get
Speaker 3: out of a stalemates situation. The guy's just so darn resourceful.
Speaker 3: And we saw it last year those first nine games.
Speaker 3: I mean, he was on trek to being a Pro
Speaker 3: Bowl player. Then unfortunately the acl happened in Detroit. So
Speaker 3: hopefully for him that's all in the past. But I'll
Speaker 3: tell you what, for a guy that hasn't played football
Speaker 3: in what nine to ten months, he came out looking
Speaker 3: like he was just guns of blazon. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And you talk about the development of the repertoire, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's the that's the progression that you see from
Speaker 1: these guys like Rashaan Gary, who the first thing he
Speaker 1: had to do when he was drafted and came to
Speaker 1: the Packers and the three four defenses, he had to
Speaker 1: learn how to play defense standing up as opposed to
Speaker 1: in a three point stance with his hand in the dirt.
Speaker 1: There's there first, there's that transition. So early on, they're
Speaker 1: still just going to have that one move to rely
Speaker 1: upon and then all the other moves have to come.
Speaker 1: And you know, he had guys like Zadarius Smith and
Speaker 1: Preston Smith and these other guys to learn from, and
Speaker 1: the coaching staff and everything else. And we've just seen
Speaker 1: this steady progression from him, and we're seeing Lucas Fanness
Speaker 1: going through that same kind of transition right now, played
Speaker 1: mostly with his hand in the dirt at Iowa, and
Speaker 1: he's learning how to play standing up and learning all
Speaker 1: the responsibilities on the edge. And Lucas van Ness has
Speaker 1: not developed all the pass rush moves that that he's
Speaker 1: going to have either. And there are so many parallels
Speaker 1: there that hopefully for the Packers, he on the same
Speaker 1: trajectory as Rashan Gary. But I agree with you with
Speaker 1: just the I don't know if energy is a use.
Speaker 1: That's word, a word that's used a lot, and I
Speaker 1: don't even know if that word quite exemplifies what Rashan
Speaker 1: Gary brought to these last couple of public practices. There
Speaker 1: was something different about this Packers defense with him on
Speaker 1: the field. I think his teammates were excited to have
Speaker 1: him back. He's a wrecking ball in some respects, and
Speaker 1: there are no guarantees yet that he'll be available for
Speaker 1: Week one. Things are certainly trending in that direction, and
Speaker 1: hopefully the Packers can get him out there against the
Speaker 1: Bears at Soldier Field comes September tenth.
Speaker 2: This quote is so good. I want to make sure
Speaker 2: I get this right.
Speaker 3: I typically don't go off screen during Packer's unscripted but
Speaker 3: I want to make sure I get this right from
Speaker 3: what mattch Steiman had tweeted to us or sent to
Speaker 3: us earlier this week. And I'm not gonna be able
Speaker 3: to find it because he probably put twenty three instead
Speaker 3: of Alexander. Let's look, no, no, not gonna find it.
Speaker 3: I'm going to paraphrase it. I hope I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: botch it. But basically, Alexander said he feels like Superman
Speaker 3: when Rashon Gary's on the field, and I think that
Speaker 3: is the sentiment that everybody shares in terms of Yeah,
Speaker 3: in addition to the fact it's going to put more
Speaker 3: pressure on the quarterback and decrease his time clock to
Speaker 3: be able to get that ball out, it's how everybody
Speaker 3: around him raises their level of play. And I think
Speaker 3: when you have a premier pass rusher in this league,
Speaker 3: that is what the trickle down effect is. When you
Speaker 3: look at the Packers' defenses in the early Clay Matthews era,
Speaker 3: when you talk about you know, Aaron Kamptman in the
Speaker 3: mid two thousands, Reggie White, the list goes on and
Speaker 3: on those type of players, they set the tone. And
Speaker 3: I felt like, you know, Rashon Gary for still being
Speaker 3: as young as he is, it's all still out there
Speaker 3: for Michael and as you touched on, and I think
Speaker 3: one of the things you've been working on too, story wise,
Speaker 3: is when you have a Rashon Gary, when you have
Speaker 3: a Preston Smith, a Kingsley, Enigbari and then Kenny Clark
Speaker 3: and these other guys that can get after a quarterback,
Speaker 3: you make an offense start to make some decisions. And
Speaker 3: if for Shawn Gary's going to get doubled this season
Speaker 3: whenever he is out there, well then that's opportunities for
Speaker 3: one on one matchups for Preston Smith, DeVante wy At
Speaker 3: Kenny Clark. That's the exciting thing I think about having
Speaker 3: Rashon Gary back in this defense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just what we've seen in his couple
Speaker 1: of days back, he is going to command so much
Speaker 1: attention from opposing offenses, and I think that's that's going
Speaker 1: to change, create opportunities for other players, as you said,
Speaker 1: and one of the stories that I've posted now on
Speaker 1: Packers dot com is just looking at where the Packers
Speaker 1: are at outside linebacker heading into twenty twenty three compared
Speaker 1: to how they ended twenty twenty two. Because you didn't
Speaker 1: I mean, you had Preston Smith, who I believe he
Speaker 1: had five of his eight and a half sacks last
Speaker 1: season after Rashaun Gary left the lineup. But you didn't
Speaker 1: have Gary. You had Nigbari, who was a fifth round
Speaker 1: rookie who was just trying to figure things out. You
Speaker 1: had Justin Hollins come in trying to reacclimate himself as
Speaker 1: quickly as he could to Joe Berry's defense, and he
Speaker 1: certainly made a contribution. Jonathan Garvin was taking some snaps,
Speaker 1: not providing a whole lot of production. They were just
Speaker 1: trying to survive at that position quite frankly down the
Speaker 1: stretch last year without Gary. Now you fast forward here,
Speaker 1: Gary's on his way back. Preston Smith is Preston Smith.
Speaker 1: You've added a first round pick in Lucas van Ness
Speaker 1: Kings Leanninggbari just had a two SAT game in the preseason.
Speaker 1: He's showing the year two jump. Justin Hollins has now
Speaker 1: been here, he's settled, he's settled in more. And you
Speaker 1: have an undrafted guy in Breton Cox who's who showed
Speaker 1: enough promise early that the Packers moved on from Jonathan
Speaker 1: Garvin and Breton Cox could be an undrafted rookie who
Speaker 1: ends up making this fifty three when roster decisions are
Speaker 1: made next week. The depth at outside linebacker right now
Speaker 1: compared to nine months ago is night and.
Speaker 2: Day two things one.
Speaker 3: Aaron Moseby also got claimed in the midway through camp.
Speaker 3: I think Moseby's had a really nice camp too, for
Speaker 3: a guy that unfortunately is kind of at the bottom
Speaker 3: of that depth chart just based on attrition and the
Speaker 3: guys who have been here. I can now get that
Speaker 3: quote correct though, because I'm all about the accuracy here. Mike,
Speaker 3: you know that this is what Jayer said. A healthy
Speaker 3: Rashaun Gary is like Superman in my opinion. He makes
Speaker 3: my job easier, a whole lot easier. If I was
Speaker 3: on ESPN, That's how I would close my segment and
Speaker 3: I would just and then back to you, Mike.
Speaker 1: Okay. Well, the other thing I think that's worth talking
Speaker 1: about here is the packers wrapped up these public practices
Speaker 1: as we saw. I think in a lot of ways,
Speaker 1: these practices finished up the way they started, and that
Speaker 1: we saw hot a lot of well hot, yes, but
Speaker 1: we saw a lot of We saw a lot of
Speaker 1: back and forth in terms of the you know, the
Speaker 1: defense providing some challenge to the offense and then the
Speaker 1: offense responds, and then the defense responds, and you know,
Speaker 1: there over these last couple of days, there were stretches
Speaker 1: where the pass Russ was really getting after Jordan Love
Speaker 1: for you know, a sequence of plays, and then suddenly
Speaker 1: the offense settles in and Love starts to find his
Speaker 1: rhythm and hits some passes. Then we see the you know,
Speaker 1: I believe it was on Wednesday. We see the offense
Speaker 1: looking like, you know, they're hitting some nice running plays,
Speaker 1: and then the next thing, you know, TJ. Slayton is
Speaker 1: in the backfield, you know, three or four times in
Speaker 1: a span of you know, like eight or nine plays
Speaker 1: or something like that. The back and forth, and then
Speaker 1: the epitome of that was the the last two two
Speaker 1: minute drills. The number one defense won the drill with
Speaker 1: Rasul Douglass getting an interception on a pass for Romeo Dobbs.
Speaker 1: But then Sean Clifford Misster two minute takes the number
Speaker 1: twos down the field, hits a fourth down touchdown pass
Speaker 1: to Grant Dubo's adds the two point conversion on top
Speaker 1: of that, so you have the defense win one, the
Speaker 1: offense win one in the two minute drills. At the end,
Speaker 1: it just seemed like these last couple of days everything
Speaker 1: was about the one side challenging the other and trying
Speaker 1: to trying to push the other side to provide an answer.
Speaker 1: And I have to believe Matt Lafleur liked a lot
Speaker 1: of what he saw in that regard.
Speaker 3: I think you're one hundred percent right about that. But
Speaker 3: the other aspect of it, I think that is so
Speaker 3: refreshing is when you have a young team like this,
Speaker 3: how exciting and energetic these practices have been. And not
Speaker 3: to say that, you know, when it was Clay Matthews
Speaker 3: and Jordy Nelson and Aaron Rodgers and all that they
Speaker 3: weren't there was plenty to be you know, taken from.
Speaker 3: But there are some like when you go into those
Speaker 3: one on one periods. You don't know always who's going
Speaker 3: to prevail in those. I think that's where I first
Speaker 3: started to know TJ. Slayton, to be honest with you,
Speaker 3: and he's had you know, I've said this time and
Speaker 3: time again, I think him, Rashid Walker, those guys are
Speaker 3: probably in the conversation for most improved player. I mean,
Speaker 3: Kingsley Ningbari contributed at the end of last season, but
Speaker 3: you know, he was a fifth round pick and he
Speaker 3: already seen some of that growth. Those two guys have
Speaker 3: just blown me away just with the role that potentially
Speaker 3: they might have to play on this team this season.
Speaker 3: And Walker co went from a guy that didn't play
Speaker 3: at all last year to a guy that now is
Speaker 3: you know, being charged in these practices as the left
Speaker 3: tackle for Jordan Love and in the preseason game as
Speaker 3: well last week. So to your original point here, yeah,
Speaker 3: I think the give and take of the offense and
Speaker 3: defense is sort of indicative of a young football team
Speaker 3: kind of growing together. And the same way in which
Speaker 3: you look at those Patriots practices. The Packers take it
Speaker 3: to the Patriots the first day, the Patriots respond back
Speaker 3: to second There's a challenge there there is a motivation
Speaker 3: and a competitive fire. I think that comes out of
Speaker 3: both of those two sides of the ball working against
Speaker 3: one another. The hope would be for the green Bay
Speaker 3: Packers now as you get through this game against Seattle,
Speaker 3: hopefully healthy, get through the fifty three man cut, and
Speaker 3: start building to that game against Chicago, that you have
Speaker 3: a much better football team than you did eight weeks ago.
Speaker 3: And I feel like that's where green Bay has really
Speaker 3: grown the most in terms of just the development and
Speaker 3: the maturation. This is one of those training camps where
Speaker 3: I think you can literally look at players and see
Speaker 3: the growth. And for some of the Packers' bets in
Speaker 3: the past, it was about okay, getting back to that baseline,
Speaker 3: where do we need, what's the play style, what's everything
Speaker 3: like that. Matt Lafleur is establishing all of that right
Speaker 3: now and I think that played into also these young guys,
Speaker 3: you know, getting this action in the preseason games, because
Speaker 3: one of the things I wrote an insider inbox this
Speaker 3: week was the fact that you have a bunch of
Speaker 3: guys that need snaps and we are no longer in
Speaker 3: the Larry mccaerran to a day's fifty one practices or
Speaker 3: whatever of training camp. You got two dozen training prep
Speaker 3: practice training camp practices in three preseason games.
Speaker 2: You have to make those opportunities really count.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, And I want to talk to you more
Speaker 1: about this preseason finale coming up against Seattle, but I'll
Speaker 1: take care of some sponsor business for serious XM. NFL
Speaker 1: Radio delivers hard hitting analysis and up to the minute
Speaker 1: NFL news that true football fanatics need twenty four to seven,
Speaker 1: three sixty five. And at Cousin Subs, we have something
Speaker 1: for everyone. Like our Wisconsin cheese curds, mac and cheese,
Speaker 1: golden fries, and creamy shakes, all paired with your favorite
Speaker 1: sub or sub in a bowl. Cousin Subs fifty years
Speaker 1: of better.
Speaker 2: Mike, guess where I ate earlier this week.
Speaker 1: For lunch Cousin Subs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Steak Philly.
Speaker 3: The Steak Philly if you if you like hot subs,
Speaker 3: that is my suggestion for you.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, sounds good. One preseason game
Speaker 1: to go Weston and the there's a there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot to pay attention to in this game, whether
Speaker 1: you're talking about the battle for the last spots at
Speaker 1: wide receiver again, that number three running back spot. What's
Speaker 1: you know, going to happen with some final decisions at
Speaker 1: defensive back? You know how they're going to piece that together,
Speaker 1: and certainly special teams plays a role in all that,
Speaker 1: and then special teams themselves. There are still two punters
Speaker 1: and two long snappers on this roster that have that
Speaker 1: have had a training camp long competition at both of
Speaker 1: those spots. So where will where will your eyes be
Speaker 1: trained on come Saturday? After Oh, by the way, it's
Speaker 1: an afternoon preseason game at Lambeufield, a noon Central time kickoff.
Speaker 1: A rarity here in Green Bay. Not that I'm complaining,
Speaker 1: because work wise it's much nicer to have afternoon games.
Speaker 1: But back to my question, what will you be watching
Speaker 1: for come kickoff at noon Saturday against the Seahawks.
Speaker 3: It's an excellent question because there are so many different
Speaker 3: ways you can take this thing offensively.
Speaker 2: What does that number one unit look like with Jordan Love?
Speaker 2: How many series do they see?
Speaker 3: They had two in the first game, three in the second,
Speaker 3: although I think that was kind of brought on a
Speaker 3: little bit by the Botch snap there earlier. But the
Speaker 3: fact is is that you know, how long does Matt
Speaker 3: Lafleur want these guys to play. Sean Clifford probably can
Speaker 3: use the reps, but he's gotten a lot of reps
Speaker 3: at this point. So you know, when does Alex Magoog
Speaker 3: get into the game. He's only played that one game
Speaker 3: and unfortunately for him, it was an eight r touchdown
Speaker 3: on his first snap. As cool as that was for
Speaker 3: the Packers offense, not really a chance for the usfl
Speaker 3: ringing in VP to show what his arm can do. So,
Speaker 3: you know, those type of things are going to be important. Certainly,
Speaker 3: the safety battle is going right down to the wire
Speaker 3: when you look at you know where they're going to
Speaker 3: be trying to find that that one two combination with
Speaker 3: Darnell Savage. That whole thing's come full circle again. Ruby
Speaker 3: Ford back with the starters this week, yep. And you
Speaker 3: know t Varius Moore has taken those snaps. Jonathan Owens
Speaker 3: has taken those snaps over and over and over and
Speaker 3: they kind of.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately unfortunately for more now he's injured. He got hurt
Speaker 1: his knee in the last preseason game, so bad bad
Speaker 1: timing for him. But we'll see, we'll see what happens
Speaker 1: here these next few days.
Speaker 3: The number three running back battle, the offensive line battle.
Speaker 3: But the one thing I challenge people to look at
Speaker 3: and keep an eye on. This is not the most
Speaker 3: attractive thing to pay attention to, but the coverage teams,
Speaker 3: offensive kickoff and the punt return units. Very interested to
Speaker 3: see what that personnel looks like. We've seen from Ritz Pasacci.
Speaker 3: He's willing to mix and match. So I wouldn't take
Speaker 3: everything as you know, chapter and verse in terms of
Speaker 3: what the starters are, so to speak. But I always
Speaker 3: go back, dude. James Crawford twenty eighteen. He made the
Speaker 3: Packers roster based on special teams in the Packers' pre
Speaker 3: season finale in Kansas City. There's going to be at
Speaker 3: least one of those type of situations where somebody steps up,
Speaker 3: somebody makes their presence felt. Because as much as the
Speaker 3: Packers are building this offensive defense, they're also building these
Speaker 3: special teams this defense as well. And when you lose
Speaker 3: a guy like Tyler Davis, who was your leading player
Speaker 3: in terms of special teams snap scene last season. I
Speaker 3: think he played like almost eighty percent of the snaps,
Speaker 3: that is going to be a big challenge for Green Bay.
Speaker 2: Who's going to step up?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, and you know that these the special teams reps,
Speaker 1: whether it's whether it's a kickoff return, a kickoff cover,
Speaker 1: a punt return, a punt cover, those reps are being
Speaker 1: scrutinized on film over and over and over again by
Speaker 1: the personnel department as they're as they're trying to decide, Okay,
Speaker 1: who are the guys that can be counted on to
Speaker 1: get the job done in that phase? Who are the
Speaker 1: guys who are separating themselves in that regard. The Packers
Speaker 1: have a fair number of veterans now on special teams.
Speaker 1: That's been one of the big shifts in terms of
Speaker 1: the roster and the personnel in that face since Rich
Speaker 1: Pasacci came in. But there are a lot of young
Speaker 1: guys who you know, are trying to make a name
Speaker 1: from themselves, and they're not necessarily going to be second
Speaker 1: string on offense or defense, but there are going to
Speaker 1: be some roster spots available, and can they put something
Speaker 1: on film that's going to get them noticed and get
Speaker 1: them a chance to either be on the fifty three
Speaker 1: or be brought back on the practice squad next week
Speaker 1: when all these roster machinations take place.
Speaker 3: And maliek Keith is the guy also, Mike that I'll
Speaker 3: probably have my eye on the most I mean undrafted rookies.
Speaker 3: We know the history and the backstory with the Green
Speaker 3: Bay Packers and at those spots. If he can put
Speaker 3: together a strong performance in this preseason finale against Seattle,
Speaker 3: I don't know what that all means for Tuesday and
Speaker 3: how the Packers will sort through it. But this is
Speaker 3: a guy that Mike, you and I were talking about
Speaker 3: him at OTAs and he has just continually done it
Speaker 3: over and over again, so impressive. It reminds you of
Speaker 3: the Allen Lizards, the Jake Kumeros, where you have an
Speaker 3: inundation of draft picks at receiver. You remember when Kummero
Speaker 3: made it the first time. I gave Jake no chance
Speaker 3: at making the fifty three because they had three rookie
Speaker 3: draft picks that year. Just so turned out that, you know,
Speaker 3: you had Marcus Veldez scantling, but otherwise there was a
Speaker 3: lot of opportunities still there even though there were those
Speaker 3: incoming picks. This is going to be critical to see
Speaker 3: exactly how the Packers shuffle this out. I do not
Speaker 3: envy Brian Goudikuntz and his scouts. I know they relish
Speaker 3: these opportunities. I know it's a challenge for them and
Speaker 3: it's an excitement that they don't have to go too well,
Speaker 3: we got forty seven players, and who else do we
Speaker 3: want to fill up this roster with now? I mean,
Speaker 3: it is going to be a tedious cut to fifty three,
Speaker 3: no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: One of the things, and we'll kind of close on this.
Speaker 1: One of the things that has struck me about watching
Speaker 1: Malie Heath, as you said, we've watched him, you know,
Speaker 1: through all the way since he arrived here, is that
Speaker 1: a lot of times when undrafted guys catch your eye,
Speaker 1: it's always like, oh, like where where's where's he from?
Speaker 1: Or what school did he come from? And you know,
Speaker 1: you look up and you try to get to know
Speaker 1: him a little bit. Yeah, if you didn't know the
Speaker 1: background for of of Malie Keith, the question you'd be
Speaker 1: asking is what round was this guy drafted in? I mean,
Speaker 1: and that's that That's not always That's not always the case.
Speaker 1: Undrafted guys will still kind of look like undrafted guys, right,
Speaker 1: he hasn't looked like one. The question it's it's like
Speaker 1: you're wondering, what round was he drafted and he wasn't
Speaker 1: drafted at all, and he's uh, he's made a strong case.
Speaker 1: But we don't know. Are the Packers going to keep
Speaker 1: five receivers or six receivers or seven receivers, how many
Speaker 1: are going to be on the fifty three, how many
Speaker 1: will they want to bring back on the practice squad.
Speaker 1: We really don't know what's going to happen here. There
Speaker 1: are always there are always decisions that are made that
Speaker 1: nobody saw coming right in terms of how the how
Speaker 1: the initial fifty three is built and how that practice
Speaker 1: squad gets put together. So we will we will just
Speaker 1: have to see, but there will be There are a
Speaker 1: lot of nervous time between the end of the game
Speaker 1: on Saturday and when the decisions are made on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: It's a tough time for these players, but it's also
Speaker 1: what they signed up for, right Yeah.
Speaker 3: And the one that probably is going to tug at
Speaker 3: your heart strings the most, at least tug at my
Speaker 3: heart strings, is the running back competition, because you got
Speaker 3: a bunch of dudes that are all good, solid guys
Speaker 3: competing for that number three spot. Patrick Taylor has been
Speaker 3: here for three and a half years. I mean Obviously
Speaker 3: the injury that he had kind of wiped out his
Speaker 3: rookie season, but has been one of the more beloved
Speaker 3: players at locker room, very close, tight knit group. Obviously
Speaker 3: contributed on special teams. Tyler Goodson, I thought, did everything
Speaker 3: that is physically possible to make a run at the
Speaker 3: fifty three this year. Unfortunately he gets the shoulder injury
Speaker 3: at the wrong time. We'll see how things play out
Speaker 3: for him this week. And then also, I mean Emmanuel Wilson.
Speaker 3: The stories don't get much better than this kid Division
Speaker 3: two Fort Valley State, you know, coming in and being
Speaker 3: a late add to this roster as the Packers are
Speaker 3: looking for an extra running back and some guys being
Speaker 3: banged up, and then he ends up having you know,
Speaker 3: he's leading the NFL right now in preseason rushing. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 3: that is that is probably gonna be the one the most.
Speaker 3: It's like, you don't You'll be happy for whoever prevails,
Speaker 3: assuming the Packers do keep three, hoping that they keep three,
Speaker 3: but yeah, your heart kind of goes out to the
Speaker 3: rest of them because that that whole group has been
Speaker 3: a lot of fun to cover this summer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think as as we know injuries. Injuries
Speaker 1: are never good, They're always unfortunate, right, But I think
Speaker 1: aside from Tyler Davis being lost for the season to
Speaker 1: the knee injury from the Cincinnati preseason game, there was
Speaker 1: maybe no more unfortunate injury in this training camp than
Speaker 1: Tyler Goodson with that shoulder injury, because because all the
Speaker 1: way up until the time he got hurt, he looked
Speaker 1: like he was really really making a statement and making
Speaker 1: a run at this fifty three man roster and to
Speaker 1: be that number three guy. But he has not been
Speaker 1: able to get back on the field since then, So
Speaker 1: you just don't know how these how these things ultimately
Speaker 1: are going to go.
Speaker 2: Maybe this week we'll see, Maybe this week.
Speaker 1: You never know, you never know. With that, we'll call
Speaker 1: it a rap on this edition of Packers Unscripted. Be
Speaker 1: sure to follow all of our coverage of the team
Speaker 1: as training camp wraps up, as the preseason wraps up
Speaker 1: with Saturday's game against the Seahawks. We will have it
Speaker 1: all for you on Packers dot com for Wesim Mike.
Speaker 1: Thank you for tuning in everybody. We will see you
Speaker 1: next time.
