Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford sitting alongside my colleague West Hodkowits
Speaker 1: were coming to you here from our studios at lambeau
Speaker 1: Field and West were in another stretch of the offseason.
Speaker 1: Here where it's time to talk about the next round
Speaker 1: of peak performances from the third quarter of the season.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about games nine through twelve and again for fans,
Speaker 1: if they like to go on Packers dot com, you
Speaker 1: can check out the articles, some video highlights. Vote for
Speaker 1: your favorite peak performance from this stretch of the season.
Speaker 1: I'll throw the first one at you right away, and
Speaker 1: it's Davante Adams at Chicago. UM. I know there are
Speaker 1: a lot of moments throughout the year where we realized
Speaker 1: Davante Adams was making those strides to become a Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl receiver, and and just this past weekend, obviously he
Speaker 1: did participate in his first Pro Bowl. This was one
Speaker 1: of those games that definitely jumped out though it did,
Speaker 1: and the reason it jumped out to me, Mike, is
Speaker 1: because we saw him make phenomenal catches throughout this course
Speaker 1: of the season. We saw him step up when Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers was no longer available. But this game, in particular
Speaker 1: to me, really showed you who Davante Adams is as
Speaker 1: a football player, because, as you wrote in the Peak Performances,
Speaker 1: he wasn't having his best game it there were setbacks
Speaker 1: and adversity early on. And since day one, we've always
Speaker 1: talked about how headstrong he is. I thought this is
Speaker 1: a perfect example of that to put that behind him
Speaker 1: and make the big plays when it mattered most. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he had a a disappointing drop on a short kind
Speaker 1: of slant pass crossing route over the middle of whatever
Speaker 1: you want to call it. Um. Packers ended up having
Speaker 1: to settle for a field goal on that drive rather
Speaker 1: than continue it with the first down and possibly get
Speaker 1: a touchdown. But then green May's last two offensive possessions,
Speaker 1: his chemistry connection with Brett Hunley really started to shine.
Speaker 1: He started a touchdown drive with an eighteen yard catch,
Speaker 1: then finished that drive with a nineteen yard t d
Speaker 1: grab on a back shoulder. Just a really nice chemistry
Speaker 1: type of play between quarterback and receiver there, and then
Speaker 1: the Bears have gotten back within seven points. The Packers
Speaker 1: needed one more drive to put the game away. Third
Speaker 1: and ten, just over two minutes left, Hunley decides to
Speaker 1: go deep down the right sideline to Adams. He brings
Speaker 1: it in for a forty two yard catch. Just a
Speaker 1: huge play, um, And I didn't even realize until I
Speaker 1: saw the replay that he caught the thing one handed.
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was a perfectly thrown pass,
Speaker 1: pretty decent coverage by the Chicago Bears. But again, there
Speaker 1: was just down the stretch in this game. There was
Speaker 1: just no stopping atoms, you know. And it's really hard
Speaker 1: to be hyperbolic about this because there were so many
Speaker 1: big catches this season for him. I mean, one of
Speaker 1: our episodes earlier this this month, we even talked about
Speaker 1: how what was his favorite catch and I couldn't even
Speaker 1: come up with one because of the multitude of them.
Speaker 1: But that forty two yard er I think is definitely
Speaker 1: in the conversation because the Packers needed it, they needed
Speaker 1: to ice that game and the fact that, I mean
Speaker 1: it is on third and ten, you need to make
Speaker 1: a play and Davonte Adams did just that. Yeah. The
Speaker 1: next peak performance on the list will get to here.
Speaker 1: Quarterback Brett Hunley at Pittsburgh, a primetime game at hines
Speaker 1: Field Packers on the road against one of the top
Speaker 1: teams in the a f C, one of the top
Speaker 1: defenses in the a f C, and frankly, nobody saw
Speaker 1: this performance coming from Hunley. He was coming off of
Speaker 1: a shutout loss to Baltimore at home, really one of
Speaker 1: those low points for the Packers during the season. But
Speaker 1: he comes out in Pittsburgh one thirty four point three
Speaker 1: passer rating, three touchdown passes, all of them long, big play,
Speaker 1: explosive play, UM type T d S and uh. And really,
Speaker 1: you know, for all of Brett Hunley's ups and downs
Speaker 1: throughout his nine starts, ten games essentially that he played
Speaker 1: in place of Aaron Rodgers, um, this in my mind,
Speaker 1: even though it was in a defeat, was his best
Speaker 1: best outing absolutely uh. And it's the one I think
Speaker 1: when you when you bring up the film from this season,
Speaker 1: you're going to be like, this is what Brett Hunley
Speaker 1: can be as a quarterback. He was smart, he was accurate,
Speaker 1: and he made the big plays when they were available
Speaker 1: to him throughout that game. The thing is in you
Speaker 1: and I remember this going into Pittsburgh. Nobody was given
Speaker 1: the Packers a chance in that game. I forget what
Speaker 1: the line was, I know it was double digits, maybe
Speaker 1: four under something going in. UM, it was disheartening from
Speaker 1: the standpoint that the Packers weren't able to win this
Speaker 1: one was falling late. But I thought Hunley had a
Speaker 1: perfect performance throughout and put the Packers in a position
Speaker 1: to win that game. Yeah, just to recap some of
Speaker 1: the big highlights there, a thirty nine yard touched on
Speaker 1: pastor Randall Cobb, a fifty four yard touchdown pass on
Speaker 1: a screen pastor running back Jamal Williams will talk a
Speaker 1: little bit more about that. UM with another peak performance.
Speaker 1: But then in the secon and have a fifty five
Speaker 1: yard touched on pass to Davante Adams, and then really
Speaker 1: the moment that that defined it for Brett Hunley drives
Speaker 1: the Packers seventy seven yards and twelve plays late in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter for a tying touchdown that ties the
Speaker 1: game at and that drive included a fourth and sixth
Speaker 1: completion to Adams in the red zone to keep the
Speaker 1: drive alive one play before the Packers get the tying score. UM,
Speaker 1: I just I took my cap to Brett Hunley, and
Speaker 1: this when nobody was happy about the loss certainly, but um,
Speaker 1: but a solid performance at a time when when not
Speaker 1: a whole lot was expected of him. Yeah. And I
Speaker 1: think Pittsburgh was the fourth rank defense at the time too,
Speaker 1: So I mean it was no slout she was going
Speaker 1: up against either. Yeah. All right with that, We've got
Speaker 1: more peak performances to discuss after the breakback, with more
Speaker 1: on Packers Unscripted right after this. Welcome back to Packers Unscripted.
Speaker 1: Mike Spofford in this chair, West Hodkowits in that one
Speaker 1: in West. Continuing our discussion of the peak performances from
Speaker 1: the third quarter of the season, fans can go on
Speaker 1: Packers dot com and watch the highlights and vote for
Speaker 1: their favorite UM. Three left here and two of them
Speaker 1: by the same player, actually, Jamal Williams, both at Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: and then at home against Tampa Bay. Two big outings
Speaker 1: here for the rookie running back out of b y U.
Speaker 1: At Pittsburgh, I mentioned the fifty four yards screen pass
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. He also had sixty six rushing yards
Speaker 1: on twenty one carries, ended up totaling a hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty five yards from scrimmage in all and then against
Speaker 1: excuse me, against Tampa Bay at lambeau Field his first
Speaker 1: career one hundred yard rushing game, a hundred thirteen yards
Speaker 1: on twenty one carries with a touchdown. Included a powerful
Speaker 1: run at the goal line getting through a defender or
Speaker 1: two for the score. Two really nice outings here by
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams. I don't know if you have a favorite
Speaker 1: one or the other. But but again, as we talked
Speaker 1: about throughout the season, a rookie running back who was
Speaker 1: given the opportunity to be the bell cow, and he delivered.
Speaker 1: In late October, Michael I was working on a story
Speaker 1: on Aaron Jones at the time when he sort of
Speaker 1: was breaking out, and during that same time, I talked
Speaker 1: to a couple of people that are very close to
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams, and you know, while Williams always kept the
Speaker 1: same headstrong approach while he was waiting in the wings,
Speaker 1: you know there were some people around him that were
Speaker 1: wondering if he was going to get a shot again,
Speaker 1: because you know, he was the backup to Time Montgomery.
Speaker 1: The injury happened and he hurts his own knee. Aaron
Speaker 1: Jones comes out of nowhere. There was a question going
Speaker 1: into November of what Jamal Williams role was going to
Speaker 1: be with the way that Aaron Jones had run away
Speaker 1: with things. Jones suffers the injury. That game starting with Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: I think is the one where we found out, you
Speaker 1: know what Packers running backs are gonna be okay, And
Speaker 1: if they don't have Aaron Jones, they have Jamal Williams
Speaker 1: and they do different things well, which I think compliments
Speaker 1: one another. And then that Tampa Bay game, I just
Speaker 1: thought he showed what he is in terms of being
Speaker 1: an every down complete running back that can't have explosive plays.
Speaker 1: I think we learned a lot about Jamal Williams with
Speaker 1: the course this season, the way he handled adversity early on,
Speaker 1: and then the way he really broke out when he
Speaker 1: did get the chance to be the every down guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you look at that Tampa Bay game. He had a
Speaker 1: twenty five yard run in the second quarter there, and
Speaker 1: that was actually one of seven carries on the day
Speaker 1: that went for eight plus yards. He was he was
Speaker 1: really chewing up the yardage in some significant chunks. Then
Speaker 1: you look at the game winning drive in overtime, got
Speaker 1: the the hero seat stolen by by Aaron Jones. With
Speaker 1: that twenty yard run for a touchdown. But before that,
Speaker 1: he had a nine yard run and a twelve yard
Speaker 1: reception that helped get the Packers in position for Aaron
Speaker 1: Jones touched on drive if it hadn't been forgetting a
Speaker 1: little winded needing to come out for a play. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, that's when Jones stepped in and uh and
Speaker 1: took it to the took it to the house for
Speaker 1: the victory. But um, um, the other peak performance to
Speaker 1: talk about though, was also from that Tampa Bay game.
Speaker 1: And you flip sides to the defensive side of the ball,
Speaker 1: and that's defensive end Dean Lowry, second year guy. Um,
Speaker 1: everybody's going to remember the sixty two yard rumbling, bumbling, stumbling,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it for a touchdown there.
Speaker 1: But but it wasn't just that he was an impact
Speaker 1: player up front on defense throughout this game. He got
Speaker 1: a sack of his own, a fourteen yard sack when
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of a stunt that that
Speaker 1: left him free to get Jamis Winston. Um, this is
Speaker 1: the type of performance that that the Packers were hoping
Speaker 1: for out of Dean Lowry. They may be hope to
Speaker 1: see more of it. But again still a young, developing
Speaker 1: player that I think could be a big component of this, uh,
Speaker 1: this new Packers defense under Mike Pett. Yeah, Mike, And
Speaker 1: he was the defensive player of the Week for the
Speaker 1: entire the NFL for this performance. As you said, the
Speaker 1: sixty two yard touchdown is what everybody's gonna remember, his jump,
Speaker 1: his lambeau leap, being completely gassed on an empty tank. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the small things in this I thought that really
Speaker 1: mattered most, the combination of him and Kenny Clark contributing
Speaker 1: to that fumble that Jamis Winston had in him being
Speaker 1: able to run it back from the t D. Packers
Speaker 1: invested a lot of that defensive line when they drafted
Speaker 1: both Clark in the first round out of U C.
Speaker 1: L A. And they went back and took Lowry out
Speaker 1: of Northwestern entirely different defensive lineman. But Lowry, I thought,
Speaker 1: more than anything else this season and in this game,
Speaker 1: proved he's more than a five tech based defensive end.
Speaker 1: He can play three tech, he can play inside when
Speaker 1: they need him to in the in the dime defense
Speaker 1: as well, just really made the impact plays that were
Speaker 1: there for him, and certainly I think is you know,
Speaker 1: on equivocally the best game of his career as a Packer. Yeah. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we've gone over all five of the peak performances
Speaker 1: from the third quarter of the season. Davante Adams at Chicago,
Speaker 1: Brett Hunley at Pittsburgh, Jamal Williams at Pittsburgh, Williams also
Speaker 1: at home against Tampa Bay, and Dean Lowry against Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: You have a favorite of those five, um, And the
Speaker 1: reason I say that is because this is the game
Speaker 1: where we found out, in my opinion, that this is
Speaker 1: a guy that can just take control of the game.
Speaker 1: For the first two season of his career, he was
Speaker 1: the compliment to Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, and even
Speaker 1: into the third season, Jordy Nelson was the NFL Comeback
Speaker 1: Player of the Year yards receiving, He had a nice season,
Speaker 1: but he was still the compliment. That was the game
Speaker 1: I thought that was showing him that he can take
Speaker 1: this thing over and become the top perimeter weapon and
Speaker 1: can be counted on when the game's on the line. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and my vote, I like your your choice there. Davante
Speaker 1: Adams certainly, but my vote goes to the Dean Lowry
Speaker 1: performance against Tampa Bay. And I say that because the
Speaker 1: Packers have Mike Daniels, he's now a pro bowler on
Speaker 1: the defensive line. We talked a lot about Kenny Clark,
Speaker 1: the first round pick, and and he continues, I think
Speaker 1: he's going to be a rising star in this league.
Speaker 1: Dean Lowry is not a guy who's going to do
Speaker 1: what he did against Tampa Bay when defensive player of
Speaker 1: the week. You know, he's not going to do that
Speaker 1: five or six or eight times in a year. He's
Speaker 1: not necessarily that type of player. But it's performances like
Speaker 1: this one that complement the stars up front that helped
Speaker 1: the Packers win games. And I think Dean Lowry can
Speaker 1: have more performances like this and can help the Packers win. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they're young, man. I mean, the Packers have a
Speaker 1: lot of young studs on that defense, and Lowry is
Speaker 1: another one that fits into that equation. Yeah. Alright, with that,
Speaker 1: we'll toss to a break back with more on Packers
Speaker 1: Unscripted right after this. Welcome back to Packers Unscripted. Mike
Speaker 1: Spofford here, Wes Hodkuh it's over there, and West shifting
Speaker 1: gears from the peak performances now back to our discussion
Speaker 1: from last show about the changes on the coaching staff
Speaker 1: and as this, as this Green Bay Packers staff takes shape,
Speaker 1: one bit of news to pass the law. Darren Perry,
Speaker 1: longtime Safety's coach since two thousand nine, when Dom Capers
Speaker 1: came in as defensive coordinator, his future was a little
Speaker 1: bit up in the air. The Packers have now announced
Speaker 1: that he's moving on and pursuing other opportunities, so Darren
Speaker 1: Perry will not be back. But when I look at
Speaker 1: how this staff is coming together here from Mike McCarthy,
Speaker 1: one thing that stands out that you really can't ignore
Speaker 1: is all of the different connections between a lot of
Speaker 1: these coaches throughout their careers where they've worked with one
Speaker 1: another in some different places but never necessarily altogether where
Speaker 1: they are right now. And I won't be able to
Speaker 1: hit on all of them, but for example, excuse me.
Speaker 1: Jim Hostler, the new pass game coordinator on offense. He
Speaker 1: worked with Joe Philbin for a couple of years in
Speaker 1: Indianapolis over the seventeen seasons, but he also worked with
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy with the New Orleans Saints previously in UH
Speaker 1: in his career, then you have Frank Signetti, the new
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach. He and Jim Hostler worked together at Indiana
Speaker 1: University of Pennsylvania for several years in the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 1: Signetti also worked in a couple of at least with
Speaker 1: New Orleans I know for sure with Mike McCarthy when
Speaker 1: he was offensive coordinator there. Again, it's like it almost
Speaker 1: becomes this tangled web of how all these all these
Speaker 1: guys are connected in their past. But it's really interesting
Speaker 1: now when you look at that, you look at that timeline,
Speaker 1: and then now you see that they're all together coaching
Speaker 1: together on the Packers offense. Yeah, it's like that old
Speaker 1: you know, six degrees of Kevin Bacon. It's like six
Speaker 1: degrees of Mike McCarthy exactly the way that all this
Speaker 1: comes together. And I actually asked Hustler that, obviously you
Speaker 1: wrote a nice story on him on Packers dot Com,
Speaker 1: but afterwards and sort of the group had died down
Speaker 1: and you had left. I went back because I want
Speaker 1: to ask him about In two thousand and eight, he
Speaker 1: worked with Mike Patton in Baltimore. Now, mind you, he
Speaker 1: was a receiver's coach. Patton was an outside linebackers coach.
Speaker 1: But it just shows you the ties together and the
Speaker 1: fact that you know Hustler and Signetti and McCarthy, they
Speaker 1: all had these ties to San Francisco, but then weren't
Speaker 1: all at the same time, you know, New Orleans. But
Speaker 1: it does go back to kind of those Pittsburgh roots
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. And in the point
Speaker 1: I guess I'm trying to make here is that this
Speaker 1: is a new coaching staff in a lot of ways,
Speaker 1: especially actually on the offensive side of the ball, even
Speaker 1: though they have a new defensive coordinator. But I think
Speaker 1: the ties that buying everyone ultimately are going to be
Speaker 1: what helps really cultivate that rapport relationship comfort level between
Speaker 1: those coaches, because even if you don't have everybody that
Speaker 1: worked together in the same place at the same time,
Speaker 1: they all know what it's like to work with one
Speaker 1: another and kind of have that rapport, which I think
Speaker 1: is going to go a long way and helping this
Speaker 1: coaching staff come together before the players come back in April. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had an interesting conversation with Hostler the day that
Speaker 1: the day that he met the media. When you look
Speaker 1: at you look at his coaching history, and I asked
Speaker 1: him a little bit about you know, his previous time
Speaker 1: with McCarthy, he was a position coach for the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints on offense, I believe it was receivers coach
Speaker 1: when Carthy was offensive coordinator there. And then the year
Speaker 1: that McCarthy was offensive coordinator in San Francisco in two
Speaker 1: thousand five, Jim Hostler was his quarterbacks coach. So when
Speaker 1: McCarthy left, he went to offensive coordinator right, and then
Speaker 1: he and then he took McCarthy's job as as offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: And then as I mentioned, you have Hustler having worked
Speaker 1: the last two years with the Indianapolis Colts on the
Speaker 1: offensive staff, um with Joe Philbin. Now all of those
Speaker 1: guys are together along with James Campon if you look
Speaker 1: at it from the from sort of the hierarchy of
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, Joe Philbin offensive coordinator, Jim Hostler passing game coordinator,
Speaker 1: and James camp And run game coordinator as well as
Speaker 1: offensive line coach. So now all these guys and obviously
Speaker 1: Philbin and Camping and McCarthy you know, worked together for
Speaker 1: a number of years here in Green Bay and UH
Speaker 1: and Camping and Philbin worked together. If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1: In Green Bay before McCarthy, Camping was right, he was,
Speaker 1: he was assistant on the offensive line. So there's a
Speaker 1: lot of connections here. And now all of these guys
Speaker 1: are the four guys at the top of the food chain,
Speaker 1: so to speak, in terms of in terms of running
Speaker 1: this Packers offense. And Hustler made an interesting point to
Speaker 1: me because I asked him about that past with McCarthy
Speaker 1: and he said, when he coached for Mike McCarthy in
Speaker 1: the past, he was just learning how to be a coach,
Speaker 1: learning how to coach a position. You know, now you
Speaker 1: know you you all of a sudden, all these years later,
Speaker 1: you get reunited and all these coaches are in different
Speaker 1: places in their career. Now. It's about the big picture.
Speaker 1: It's about the concepts. It's about how all the thoughts
Speaker 1: and ideas come together in a game plan to try
Speaker 1: to go win football games. And you have the level
Speaker 1: of experience when you look at these four coaches that
Speaker 1: are that are going to be essentially the brain trust,
Speaker 1: so to speak, of the Packers offense, the amount of
Speaker 1: experience is astounding. Yeah, And I think that's when the
Speaker 1: Packers were rewriting this playbook as Mike McCarthy said they
Speaker 1: were doing this offseason. I think that's one of the
Speaker 1: things that's gonna be really beneficial because you're gonna have
Speaker 1: McCarthy's thoughts, you're gonna have their turning coaches thoughts, but
Speaker 1: now actually you're gonna get Joe Philbints take on it
Speaker 1: with him being reimmersed in this offfense. These new coaches
Speaker 1: coming in in their perspective. And keep in mind too,
Speaker 1: you have David Rye, the new receiver's coach, who was
Speaker 1: a quarterback at Iowa when Joe Philbin was their offensive
Speaker 1: line coach. Patrick Graham the new inside linebackers coach and
Speaker 1: run game coordinator on defense, well, he worked with Frank
Speaker 1: Signeti in New York. So there's just all this crossover
Speaker 1: that I think ultimately, as as I said earlier, I
Speaker 1: think it's going to go a long way in how
Speaker 1: the Packers create that vision for two thousand eighteen and
Speaker 1: how quickly they're going to be able to do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when you look at guys like Philbin and Hustler, they've
Speaker 1: coached multiple positions throughout their careers on offense, they have
Speaker 1: a wealth of experience that at you know, all the
Speaker 1: different you know, types of components that come together on
Speaker 1: an offense. But with that, we've got to go to
Speaker 1: a break back with more on Packers Unscripted. Right after this,
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Packers Unscripted. Mike Spofford next to Wes
Speaker 1: Hodkowitz and West. Quickly before we go, I wanted to
Speaker 1: touch on another aspect on the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 1: We talked last week about the influence and importance of
Speaker 1: Joe Philbin and his family and his decision making process
Speaker 1: as he decided to come back to Green Bay. Jerry
Speaker 1: Montgomery is the Packers new defensive line coach, moving up
Speaker 1: from defensive front assistant to take over Mike Turgeva's job. Um,
Speaker 1: he had sort of an interesting family dynamic that he
Speaker 1: was dealing with as well in his decision making process,
Speaker 1: and you talk to him a little bit about it,
Speaker 1: So tell us what what he said. Yeah, What's interesting
Speaker 1: about this, Mike, is that no matter what walk of
Speaker 1: life you're in, you've been in this position. I've been
Speaker 1: in this position, doesn't matter if you're a defensive line
Speaker 1: coach or a sports writer. Um, you come to those
Speaker 1: crossroads at times where there's a great opportunity and you
Speaker 1: have to make a decision at what's best for your
Speaker 1: family from a financial standpoint, everything jumped off the charts
Speaker 1: with this opportunity with the Texas A and m Aggies.
Speaker 1: For Jerry Montgomery. Talking to a couple of people after
Speaker 1: that had been announced, they didn't blame him at all
Speaker 1: for for going down there and knowing his roots in
Speaker 1: college football. But ultimately, as he said, he took a
Speaker 1: plane ride back to Green Bay, had checked back in
Speaker 1: with Mike McCarthy and after thinking about it long and hard,
Speaker 1: made the decision that Green Bay is where he and
Speaker 1: his family needed to be. I know, they've developed really
Speaker 1: strong ties of their community. Uh, in terms of you know,
Speaker 1: he's a father I believe of four um all athletic
Speaker 1: kids that were really wanted to be in Green Bay. UM.
Speaker 1: So for him to make that decision, I know, it's
Speaker 1: it can be turbulent, he said. It was a hectic month,
Speaker 1: but when you go to the thing I always say
Speaker 1: is when you lay down at night, when you go
Speaker 1: to bed, you have to be confident with the decisions
Speaker 1: you made that day, and you have to be excited
Speaker 1: about what you're seeing tomorrow. And I think this with
Speaker 1: the development the bond that he had already made in
Speaker 1: that defensive line room over the last three seasons, I
Speaker 1: think this was a no brainer for him once you
Speaker 1: put all those chips on the table. Yeah, And that's
Speaker 1: what I was going to say, is by all accounts,
Speaker 1: you know, he's really connected with those defensive linemen that
Speaker 1: he's worked with for the last few years. Now. We
Speaker 1: talked about Mike Daniels and Kenny Clark and Dean Lowry
Speaker 1: and guys like that, and I think he senses, you know,
Speaker 1: not only not only was it his family that drew
Speaker 1: him back to Green Bay, but as you say, when
Speaker 1: you kind of put it all together and then and
Speaker 1: then he looks at the relationship that he has with
Speaker 1: those players that he's been coaching, and now you know,
Speaker 1: he gets a bit of a promotion out of it,
Speaker 1: going from front assistant to actual defensive line coach. A
Speaker 1: lot of things, a lot of things made sense and
Speaker 1: made it very attractive, even if it was a difficult decision.
Speaker 1: It was almost one of those maybe where he felt
Speaker 1: like he couldn't go wrong. Yeah, and think about that
Speaker 1: Mike and these young guys. That's the only coach they've
Speaker 1: known other than Mike Turkovacs, So I think it makes sense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, But we've got to call it a wrap
Speaker 1: on this edition of Packers Unscripted, so be sure to
Speaker 1: follow all of our coverage of the team on Packers
Speaker 1: dot com on Twitter, He's at West Had, I'm at
Speaker 1: Mike Spofford at Packers for the team account. Thanks for
Speaker 1: tuning in, everybody. We'll see you next time. H M.
