It's time for us to move on to 5 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: our second quarter of the season review, and in doing that, 6 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: we will talk about the peak performances, which is a 7 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: feature on our website packers dot Com. Fans can go 8 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: to the story read about the selected individual top performances 9 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: from games five through eight of the season, vote for 10 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: your favorite. So there are five of them to talk 11 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: about and uh and we'll run through them quickly. Here 12 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: the first couple of segments of the show, because the 13 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: first three are actually all from the same game, that 14 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: big win over the dead Alice Cowboys that really, I 15 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: guess when you look at it was probably the single highlight, 16 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: probably biggest highlight of the season for the Packers, and 17 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: three peak performances out of that game, quarterback Aaron Rodgers, 18 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: running back Aaron Jones, and on the defensive side, cornerback 19 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: to Marius Randall. I'll let you start wherever you want 20 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: as far as which of those performances stood out to you. 21 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: The most. I'm gonna start with Aaron Rodgers on this 22 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: because we didn't get a lot of Aaron Rodgers this 23 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: season due to that color bone injury. And I thought 24 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: you made a great point there in the introduction, like 25 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: you could put this up there, I guess with the 26 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: Bears game, But offensively, I think this was the best 27 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: performance the Packers had. It was the most complete performance. 28 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: They finally were able to break through at the run game, 29 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: which we'll talk about here shortly. But Aaron Rodgers was 30 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: just so deadly in this game, and even the passes 31 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: he missed, he found ways to correct them. And it 32 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: just seemed to me, you know, there's been a lot 33 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: of cat and mouse here the last few years between 34 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: him and Rod Marinelli, the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys. 35 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: Each team has had their successes, each team has had 36 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: their failures. But on this day, I just thought Aaron 37 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: Rodgers was just incredibly efficient in the passes, the performances 38 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: he put together, the communication and chemistry with Davante Adams. Um. 39 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to keep opening up a story here 40 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: for Packer fans, because I'm sure they would have liked 41 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: to have seen this the entire season but I think 42 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: that this was the offensive output the Packers showed that day, 43 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: really showed what they were capable of than two thousand seventeen. Yeah, 44 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: And just to give you the rundown on the numbers 45 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: from Aaron Rodgers in this game, nineteen of twenty nine, 46 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: two twenty one yards, three touchdowns a one two point 47 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: nine passer rating. Packers were down twenty one to six 48 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: in this game, West came back to win thirty five 49 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: to thirty one. Obviously the most memorable part a seventy 50 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: five yard drive took only sixty two seconds one minute 51 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: and two seconds to go seventy five yards to win 52 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: this game, a twelve yard touchdown passed Davante Adams with 53 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: eleven seconds left, and that that final drive also included 54 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: some of Aaron Rodgers athleticism. He escapes a couple of 55 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: potential sacks on a third and eight scrambles for eighteen 56 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: yards and then two plays later where he hits Adams 57 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: for the game winning touchdown, a really top notch performance. 58 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: And then to hear him talk about it afterwards, where 59 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: the opening play of the final drive a back shoulder 60 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: throw to Davantae Adams that he essentially uses to set 61 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: up a different type of back shoulder throw for the touchdown. 62 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: A lot of really a lot of really amazing things 63 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: about the performance. But also you mentioned the Packers got 64 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: their running game going in this game, and that was 65 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: thanks to Aaron Jones. The previous game against the Bears, 66 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 1: he had come in the second half. Time Montgomery Jamal Williams, 67 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: both out with injuries, showed something there the second half 68 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: of the Chicago game. Becomes the feature back for this 69 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: game against Dallas. Nineteen rushes, a hundred and twenty five 70 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. It was Hello world to uh 71 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: that Aaron Jones said that day down in Dallas, a 72 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: really impressive performance. Gotta keep in mind too, this is 73 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: a guy that traveled a lot as a kid, but 74 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: his family eventually settled down in El Paso and he 75 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: had a lot of family friends make that. I believe 76 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: it was a seven or eight hour drive over. Packers 77 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: running game at that point in time was sort of 78 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: a work in progress. They had a really hard time, 79 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: regardless of it was Aaron Jones, Jamal Williams or Time Montgomery, 80 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: they had a hard time establishing it for four quarters. 81 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: This was the game I think not only Aaron Jones needed, 82 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: but the Packers needed to really establish themselves. And as 83 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: it turned out over the last ten weeks of this season, 84 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: that ended up being one of the biggest strengths of 85 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: this team is what players like Aaron Jones and Jamal 86 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: Williams were able to do. It started with this game 87 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: against Dallas, and you saw it sort of snowball from 88 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 1: there with some of the other performances he put together 89 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: in the weeks to come. Yeah, and Jones making his 90 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: first NFL start in this game, he became the first 91 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: Green Bay rookie with a one yard rushing performance in 92 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: his first start since two thousand five. I believe that 93 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: was Sam Kangato, a street free agent so to speak, 94 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: that the Packers picked up that year. But Aaron Jones 95 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: a seven yard touchdown run, also had a diving nine 96 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: yard catch along the sideline that helped us set up 97 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: that TV run runs of twenty two and fifteen yards 98 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: for some explosive plays. The fifteen yard are coming on 99 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: the game winning drive. A very smart lee got out 100 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: of bounds the whole thing to stop the clock. Just 101 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,119 Speaker 1: a lot of really good things about that. The third 102 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: one peak performance from the Cowboys game is on the 103 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: defensive side and it's cornerback to Marius Randall. And this 104 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: one was chosen really because the previous game against Chicago, 105 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: things did not go well for Randall. He was essentially 106 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: banished to the locker room by Mike McCarthy to avoid 107 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: any sort of sideline distraction after you know, a mix 108 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: up that led to a Chicago touchdown, a lot of 109 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: emotions kind of getting in the way. He ends up 110 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: getting a pick six on Dak Prescott in this game 111 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. That was a huge part of the 112 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: comeback from the twenty one to six deficit. I personally 113 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: felt this game by Randall was the one that turned 114 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: his season around, maybe even turns his career around. Yeah, 115 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: I agree with and as you were saying that in 116 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: terms of how I really was able to flip the 117 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: momentum in that game, that was a really demoralizing play 118 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Correct me if I'm wrong here. I 119 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: think that was the first touchdown returned from an interception 120 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: since Micah Hyde had one, like or was a Casey 121 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: Hayward had one two year prior to that, Packers really 122 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: had been looking for one of those type of game 123 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: changing type plays off an interception, Damarius Randall was the 124 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: first of four picks, a team high he ended up 125 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: having in two thousand seventeen. As you said, I think 126 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: this was the start of a new chapter for him, 127 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: and it's momentum that you hope he can continue to 128 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: build upon now going into what will be his fourth 129 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: NFL season. Yeah, that pick six off of a ball 130 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: that hit Terrence Williams and Damarius Randall was there to 131 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: snag it. Gave the Packers lead early in the fourth quarter, 132 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: of their first lead of the game, and then they 133 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: obviously had to retake the lead that at the end. 134 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: But we've got a couple more peak performances from the 135 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: second quarter of the season to talk about. We'll get 136 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: to those after the breakback with more on Packers Unscripted 137 00:06:40,800 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: right after this A welcome back to pack Kers Unscripted. 138 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: Mike Spofford in this chair, Wes Hodkowits in that one 139 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: in West. Continuing our discussion of peak performances games five 140 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: through eight. Fans can go on Packers dot com, call 141 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: it the story and vote for their favorite um. These 142 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: last couple from the second quarter of the season are 143 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: from games the Packers unfortunately lost, but it doesn't take 144 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: away from what these individuals accomplished, starting with linebacker Blake 145 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: Martinez at Minnesota. The game that's obviously remembered for Aaron 146 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: Rodgers broken collar bone and uh the game that really 147 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: changed the entire Packers season. But I thought this was 148 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: the game fourteen tackles, twelve solo tackles, a couple of 149 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: tackles for loss on Latavius Murray, deflected pass that Damerius 150 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: Randall intercepted. I thought this was the game that really 151 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: epitomized that first to second year jump that Blake Martinez made. 152 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: I think we really started to see it here in Minnesota, 153 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: even though it was in a loss. Yeah, and it 154 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: was a point in time. I think I always tell 155 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: this story, but sometimes you forget about it. With how 156 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: we finished the season as one of the leading tacklers 157 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: in the NFL come Week one, going into that first 158 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: game against Seattle, we didn't really know that Blake Martinez 159 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: was gonna be a starting linebacker, let alone in every 160 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: down linebacker for this defense. Up until that last preseason game, 161 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: it really looked like it was Jake Ryan, Joe Thomas, 162 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: and then Morgan Burnett as a hybrid linebacker. Well, as 163 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: it turns out, they end up giving Martinez a chance 164 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: as the nickel linebacker at the start of the season 165 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: and just to see him build upon that and take it. Okay, 166 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: he was early down back, uh, you know, early down linebacker. 167 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: Then he comes back and starts to really put together 168 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: some really productive games. And I don't know, off the 169 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: top of my head, maybe you remember how many double 170 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 1: digit tackle performances he had this season. I want to 171 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: say it was somewhere in the range of eight or nine. 172 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: I was going to say it was about half the games. 173 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: Incredibly productive. This was another part of that. Yes, it 174 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: didn't go how the Packers wanted to turn out. The 175 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: Rogers thing took a lot of the wind out of 176 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: their sales. But defensively, uh, this was a big part 177 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: of the Packers run defense starting to get it together 178 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: after a slow start. YEA. And the play I think 179 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: that stands out to me the most decide from the 180 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: past deflection which Randall turned into an interception to help 181 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: the Packers get a field goal in this game was 182 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: there was a third down play and it was a 183 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: little swing pass, checkdown type of thing. To Jerick McKinnon 184 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: out in the flat and Jerick McKinnon's one on one 185 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: with Blake Martinez. It was third and six or so, 186 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: and McKinnon's job is to make one guy miss and 187 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: get the first down, and Blake Martinez completely fundamentally sound 188 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: tackle gets him down to the ground. The Vikings end 189 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: up having to punt a really sharp play because McKinnon 190 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: can make a lot of guys miss in that situation 191 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: and Martinez didn't give in. For my money, I think 192 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: that's one of the best things that Martinez does in 193 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: his games. He's really good in open space and he 194 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: seems to be really solid in the flat. We saw 195 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: that a couple of times over the course of the season, 196 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: where if a running back or you know, a slat 197 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: receiver has one guy to miss there and can extend 198 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: it for a first down or maybe an explosive play. 199 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: Martinez does a good job. If he's not tackling him 200 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,599 Speaker 1: by himself, he does a good job of holding the 201 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: guy up and allowing guys to circle to the ball 202 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: around him. And like when you're looking at playing complete defense, 203 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: and there's many areas of packers are looking and prove 204 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: going into eighteen, that's definitely a good starting point for them. Yeah. 205 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: And last, but not least as far as the peak 206 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: performances from games five through eight, Aaron Jones again twice 207 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: in this segment, I guess, but this one against the 208 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. This is Brett Hunley's first start at 209 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: quarterback in place of Aaron Rodgers, and on the opening 210 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: drive of the game, he takes the first carry for 211 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: fifteen yards. Then just a few plays later he burst 212 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: up the middle for a forty six yard touchdown and 213 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: uh again just immediately showing that what he did against 214 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys with that five yard performance certainly no fluke. 215 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: He ends up with seventeen carries one hundred and thirty 216 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: one yards, a good chunk of them obviously on the 217 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: on the first drive of the game. But again a 218 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: rookie really showing up when the Packers needed him. Yeah, 219 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: and this is the thing that really oppressed me the 220 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: most about this performance from Aaron Jones. You also have 221 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: to remember, I think he ended up being I want 222 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: to say, the NFL ground Player of the week and 223 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: then maybe the NFL Rookie of the week twice during stretch. 224 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: Definitely piled on some honors he did, and this was 225 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: an important time for the Packers to start establishing that 226 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: run because bred Hunley was struggling to kind of get 227 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: comfortable there at quarterback. They needed someone else to step up. 228 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: And you know, you know how running backs are in 229 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: today's NFL. You get a guy that stands up, you 230 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: have a guy that really, you know, takes that step 231 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: forward and becomes a featured guy. The entire league is 232 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: staring at you. Now, Aaron Jones wasn't gonna catch anybody off, 233 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: you know, off guard. New Orleans defense was vastly improved, 234 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: and they knew going into this game they were gonna 235 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: have to contain him. He still found a way to 236 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: make plays and I just think his explosiveness. He's shifted 237 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: between the tackles. He can run, stretch outside zone plays. 238 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: He has to work on the past protection now going 239 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: into next season. But overall, when you look in terms 240 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: of what you look for in a complete back as 241 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: a runner, he kind of, for lack of a better term, 242 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: has the whole route tree figured out. He can do whatever. 243 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: You know, the Packers offense is asking him to. Yeah, 244 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,079 Speaker 1: a quick statistical note, that forty six yard touchdown run 245 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: early in the Saints game, the Packers longest rushing touchdown 246 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: since Week six of so um a big play there. 247 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: So we've gone over all five of them. The three 248 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: from the Cowboys game. Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones, da Marius Randall, 249 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: Blake Martinez against Minnesota, Aaron Jones against New Orleans. Do 250 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: you have a favorite out of this quintet? Aaron Jones 251 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, just because Aaron Rodgers was incredibly effective 252 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: that day, very efficient, but he did only have twitter 253 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: and twenty one passing yards, and that they needed the 254 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: run game to get established and to be productive. And 255 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: that was really the turning corn that the Packers run game, 256 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 1: turning a corner from a slow start to become in 257 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 1: a pretty good unit by the end of the year. Yeah, 258 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: And if I had to pick one, I would go 259 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers in that Cowboys game. It was obviously 260 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: the last time we saw him really in peak form, obviously, 261 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: and just the fact that you know, the Cowboys looking 262 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: to avenge the playoff loss from the year before, they 263 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: jump on top twenty one to six. It looks like 264 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: they might run the Packers right out of the building. 265 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers just keeps everything composed, puts together, drives the 266 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: chemistry with Jordy Nelson, DeVante Adams in some key moments 267 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: for some touchdown passes really stood out. I thought it was, 268 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, as I said at the beginning, I thought 269 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: that was the highlight of the season for Green Bay 270 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: and the Eagles had gotten off to a fast start, 271 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 1: but the Cowboys were still viewed as the favorite in 272 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: the NFC East, and at that point in time they 273 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: needed to catch up. I think everybody was really high 274 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: on them still, and it showed the Packers in terms 275 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: of really been able to go into their house and 276 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers continue to play really well in that stadium. Yeah, alright, 277 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: with that, we'll toss to a break back with more 278 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: on Packers Unscripted right after this. Welcome back to Packers Unscripted. 279 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: Mike Spofford here, Wes Hodkowits over there in West. We 280 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: kind of rushed through those five peak performances from the 281 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: second quarter of the season because I wanted to spend 282 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: the last couple of segments of today's show talking about 283 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: the conference championship games from over the weekend and getting 284 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: some of your thoughts. Let's start in the a f C. 285 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: The New England Patriots their seventh consecutive appearance in the 286 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: a f C title Game. They are headed back to 287 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They overcome a twenty to ten fourth 288 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: quarter deficit with two touchdowns and knock off the feisty 289 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: Jaguars to twenty. What are your thoughts on how that 290 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: turned out? Here's my thoughts, Mike. The Jacksonville Jaguars beat 291 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: New England Patriots in every single major category of this game. 292 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: Time of possession thirty eight to two, two, third down 293 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: efficiency Patriots. You look at every single major area that 294 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: you look to achieve and become efficient in, and the 295 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: Jaguars did it except for one. Situational football, the intangible 296 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: something that you cannot look at a statistic and say, well, 297 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: this team is just better than this team in that area. 298 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: New England Patriots play that. I said this an insider 299 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: inbox this week. They play situational football as well as 300 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: any team in the NFL. Bill Belichick the adjustments that 301 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: they made at halftime, getting a little bit of a 302 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: spark at the end of the first half to kind 303 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: of give him some momentum, but ultimately Tom Brady making plays, 304 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: Danny Amon Dolas stepping up when they don't have Rob Gronkowski. 305 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: It's just that's the thing that impresses me the most. 306 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: You're looking at two teams now in the Eagles and 307 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: the Patriots, who have had to overcome adversity, have had 308 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: to overcome injuries. It's just how things are in the NFL. 309 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: But having that next guy be ready when you don't 310 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: have a star is ultimately you need your quarterback. I'm 311 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: not denying that. I mean Nick Foles played really well 312 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: too for the Eagles, but to have the Danny am 313 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: and Dolas of the world step up, and also the 314 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: Patriots defense to play as well as they did after 315 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: a rough season, I think you just have to tip 316 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: your cap. It was frustrating, you know, you really thought 317 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: that Jacksonville Jabows are gonna pull it out, and you 318 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: get the rug pulled out from underneath you. Yeah. I 319 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: just I felt the Jaguars executed their game plan almost 320 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: two a t for three and a half quarters. They 321 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: had a huge time of possession advantage. They were setting 322 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: everything up to be able to pound the ball with 323 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: Leonard Fournett in the fourth quarter to protect the lead, 324 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: and New England's defense just did not give in. They 325 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: could not. The Jaguars could not stay ahead of the 326 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: chains with the running game in the fourth quarter because 327 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: the Patriots were clamping down on it. It put the 328 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: game in Blake Bortle's hands and and the Jaguars just 329 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: were not able to convert enough first downs in that 330 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: fourth quarter to keep the lead. And I really thought 331 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: the game change, I know, the end of the first 332 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: half was was a key sequence. The Jaguars are looking 333 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: like they're going to score and extend a fourteen to 334 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: three lead. They get to delay a game penalty that 335 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: wipes out a third down conversion. They end up hunting 336 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: the ball back, and the Patriots go down and score 337 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: before halftime to make it fourteen to ten. A big 338 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: a big shift for sure. But then in the third quarter, 339 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: the Jaguars got back to doing what they were doing. 340 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: They were shutting down the Patriots. They kicked two field 341 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: goals they extended to twenty to ten. So to me, 342 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: the game hinged was about nine or ten minutes to go. 343 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter. The Patriots have the ball, They're 344 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: on their own twenty five yard line. It's third and 345 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: eighteen West, third and eighteen with a ten point lead 346 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: Tom Brady converts that I belie even to a mandola, 347 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. I thought the game completely changed 348 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: right there, because that was the play. The Patriots were 349 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: one of eight on third downs up until that point, 350 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: and then they convert a third and eight teen. It 351 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: sparks them for a touchdown drive to get within twenty 352 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: to seventeen. And I felt from there the Jaguars were 353 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 1: just trying to hang on for dear life, and you 354 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: could kind of feel like it wasn't gonna happen. Yeah, 355 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: and and for the defense, you know, for it to 356 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: be against their defense. All season long, the Jaguars have 357 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 1: been so good in that area of the game and 358 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: and so sturdy, and and it just showed to me, 359 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: you know, they have a lot of experience in the trenches. 360 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: They don't have as much experience on the perimeter um, 361 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: and and you know, opportunities are what they are, and 362 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, you know, made the most of them. Uh. 363 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: The thing that I think, if you're looking at it 364 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: from a hindsight perspective, and I know a lot of 365 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: people mention this an Insider inbox this week, I do 366 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: wonder if you have fifty five seconds ago and two 367 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: time outs at the end of the first half. There 368 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: is that playing to win mentality and playing not to lose. 369 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: I think he got a little too conservative there. It's 370 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: it's easy to look at that now and say that, 371 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: but it just seemed to me that Jay Guards are 372 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: just a little too cautious and the Patriots a little 373 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: too optimistic opportunistic. Yeah. Well, before we go to a 374 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: break though, I want to take care of a little 375 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: sponsored business.

Before we go, 384 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: I definitely have to get your thoughts on the NFC 385 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: Championship game. The Philadelphia Eagles thirty eight to seven at 386 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: home at the link over the Minnesota Vikings. I'm not 387 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: gonna say I'm surprised the Eagles one. I thought this 388 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: would be a really hard fought game. I definitely felt 389 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: either team had a legitimate chance, certainly to win this one. 390 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: I did not see the Eagles winning by thirty one points. No, 391 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: and I don't think Vegas that either. It was what 392 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: three and a half points spread in favor of the Vikings. Uh. 393 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. There was a couple of years back, 394 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: I remember seeing this interview with Doug Peterson. This is 395 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: before he ends up going to Kansas City. He was 396 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: still coaching high school football his sons, and I I was saying, 397 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: I'm perfectly content, you know, coaching school football and just 398 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: happy at the level I'm at. Not amazing. This guy 399 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: was born to be a head coach. And I think 400 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people said that even back when he 401 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: was the backup quarterback for Brett Farve. What a game 402 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: plan him and Frank Reich, that entire coaching staff put 403 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: together to really disassemble what the Minnesota Vikings do so well? 404 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: What was inarguably the top defense. Absolutely they were number 405 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: one in yards and points, the whole thing. They knew 406 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: defense offe what they were gonna get out of Gym 407 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: Schwartz's unit. They knew they were going to be in 408 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: this thing. But they needed Nick Foles to make plays. 409 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: They didn't need him to expose the football. They didn't 410 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: need him to throw for five yards, but to get 411 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: this kind of performance, three two yards, three touched, one, 412 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: one passer rating. This was the two thousand thirteen Nick Foles. 413 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: Everybody was raving about, smart with the football in every 414 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: single time he needed to make a play, he made 415 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: that play. Yeah, and I thought the way this game started. 416 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings take the opening kick off, they marched 417 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: seventy five yards down the field, touchdown past to Kyle Rudolf. 418 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: They're up seven nothing. You're thinking, oh boy, you know, 419 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: case Keendom's got a rolling. They got all the momentum 420 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: from the big win over the Saints the previous week. 421 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: You know, the drama, everything. But then about halfway through 422 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 1: the first quarter, suddenly everything shifts when the Eagles end 423 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: up with a pick six, They get a they get 424 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: a hit on the quarterbacks of the ball floats a 425 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: little bit intercepted. Uh weaves his way, you know, across 426 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: gets picks up a couple of big blocks and gets 427 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: into the end zone and suddenly, where the Vikings seemed 428 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: to have everything going their way, they're up seven nothing, 429 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: and you're thinking they're gonna eventually get a two score lead. 430 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: It's seven to seven. I don't think Minnesota ever recovered 431 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: from that play. It just see it seemed to completely 432 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: flip the game. And to make that point, I just 433 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: made the last segment too, about Jacksonville getting a little 434 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: bit conservative at the end of the first half. Eagles 435 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: took the exact opposite approach. Not only did they have 436 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: a lead, Doug Peterson, they kept the foot on the 437 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: gas pedal and to be able to get that extra 438 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: touchdown and then come out in the second half and 439 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: get the football to it just seemed like a boxer 440 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: that was against the ropes and just kept taking shot 441 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: after shot and just never had a second to recover. Yeah, 442 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: and it's easier to do that when you're playing at 443 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: home to Jacksonville had a decision to make their Philadelphia 444 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: had the crowd going and everything, and yeah, they put 445 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: them away early in the third quarter. Really, now they're 446 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: going to the Super Bowl, and they're going to the 447 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: Super Bowl.
