1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com. 2 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford, sitting alongside my trusted colleague Wes Hodkowitz. 3 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: Were coming to you here from our studios at lambeau 4 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: Field and West as the Packers wrap up their off 5 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,639 Speaker 1: season program. Thursday is the final mini camp practice. If 6 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: there's maybe been one theme you could tag to these 7 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: O t A s and the mini camp, it's been 8 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: a little bit of a boost in the eleven on 9 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: eleven the team reps, as they say, that's certainly by 10 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: design for Mike McCarthy wanted to focus on the passing 11 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: game a lot during the off season program because it's 12 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: really hard to get a lot of work done in 13 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: the running game, you know, when the players aren't in 14 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: pads and you can't go full context, so to speak. 15 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: But it also makes sense to do a lot of 16 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: this eleven on eleven work in the spring here when 17 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: two of the position groups where you have a lot 18 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: of young players you're trying to get ready are wide 19 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: receiver and cornerback. Because not to say pads don't matter, 20 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: but they matter maybe a little bit less at those 21 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: positions than those interior guys and hopefully the development is 22 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: going to pay off. And you've been covering this team 23 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: mich a lot longer than I have, but in all 24 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: of my years, this to me feels like the most 25 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: competitive team periods that the Packers have had during an 26 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: offseason program. And I say that because even the pass 27 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: under pressure eleven on nine periods, they've done a lot 28 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: of those two and those have been amplified. It seems 29 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: like they're doing a lot of red zone stuff with that. 30 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: And then you know the eleven on eleven this week 31 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: in particular, I think that's so important because you've seen 32 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: what Aaron Rodgers does and how he can lead the offense, 33 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: and eleven on eleven period you haven't seen that yet 34 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: with Deshaun Kaiser, Tim Boyle, this is your first time 35 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: seeing it. Brett Hunley all of his experience this offseason, 36 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: you know, two or three months of classroom war, putting 37 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: that out there now on the field. I think that's 38 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: really important to see what these guys have to offer 39 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: and give those young receivers a chance to make some plays. 40 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: Joe Philbin was asked about this this week during the 41 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: offensive assistant coaching availability, and you know, He's basically the 42 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: premise of the question was can you really draw that 43 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: much from these practices with these guys running around in shorts? 44 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: And I thought he had an interesting answer, and he's like, well, 45 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: if a guy doesn't look good running around in shorts, 46 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: there's something to draw from that too. So you you 47 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: want to see these guys perform. Yes, it's a different 48 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: game once the pads go on, But this is really 49 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: the chance for you know, Jamon Moore, e q st Brown, 50 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: Marquez Valdez, Scantling to go out there and show everything 51 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: that they put on film in the pre draft process 52 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: and show that those traits can carry over to the 53 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: next level. Yeah, and that carry over then goes into 54 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: training camp. The first couple of days of training camp 55 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: will still be without pads before the pads go on, 56 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: So there's there's a little bit of that acclamation period. 57 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: But when you talk about the competitiveness of it, you know, 58 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: this is my thirteen season covering the Packers from this 59 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,119 Speaker 1: type of position, and the the I guess I'd say 60 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: the boisterousness of some of the coaches, the competitiveness of 61 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: the players arguing when a flag comes out whether it 62 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: should be off sides or a false start. You see 63 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: that a lot in training camp. I don't know if 64 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: I've seen as much of it, you know, in past 65 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: years as we have in O T A s. The 66 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: competitiveness was definitely cranked up a little bit. And I 67 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: don't know if that's because of the pending competition for 68 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: roster spots the fact that there's a lot of new 69 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: blood on the coaching staff, but it's just one of 70 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: those things that that you notice when it's a little 71 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: different than in past. And Mike Petton when he was 72 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: addressing the media this past week saying that you know, 73 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: they don't want to sweep anything under the rug. They 74 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: want to be able to have an open dialogue about 75 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: what they're seeing and where they can improve. And that 76 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if it's the off season program or training camp. 77 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: He's he's not afraid to speak up. Patrick Graham, the 78 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: running game coordinator and inside linebackers coach, obviously not afraid 79 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: to speak up. And if they feel like there's a 80 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: place where the energy isn't where it needs to be, 81 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: or the the emotion isn't where it needs to be, 82 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: there's gonna be. You know, it's going to be made known. Yeah, 83 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: it's it's a time where rookies are gonna make mistakes 84 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: and and you're gonna want to make sure you correct 85 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: those things. But the one thing that everybody controls on 86 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: the field is your energy level this time of the year. 87 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: And it just seems to me Mike McCarthy one of 88 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 1: his big mantras this whole offseason has been wanting to 89 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: to really increase the energy with the coaches, with the 90 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: players everywhere across the board. And I think when you 91 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: look at these young guys coming and trying to impress, 92 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: whether it's the running backs, the receivers, or even the 93 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: defensive backs, where there's so many guys competing for jobs, 94 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: it just seems like there's a higher sense of urgency. Yeah, 95 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: I think so too. A lot of that. I think 96 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: we've seen it this week, certainly in the mini camp 97 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: with all the veterans being excused, the young players know, Okay, 98 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: this is my time that now I'm gonna take some 99 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: reps with the ones. Where I was always on the 100 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: twos and threes before the guys who have always been 101 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: on the threes, they get to move up and take 102 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: some reps with the twos, They get a little bit 103 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: bigger stage. It's their chance to put a few more 104 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: snaps on film. This is important stuff. I mean now, granted, 105 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: I I personally don't believe the competition for roster spots 106 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: and all that and for playing time really begins until 107 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: the pads go on in training camp. But at the 108 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: same time, it's all about making an impression and and 109 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: making that impression so that the coaches when you come 110 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: back for training camp they maybe already got their eye 111 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: on you a little bit. Absolutely. You and I were 112 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: both prep reporters way back when at Three Bay Press 113 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: Becazette non concurrently. But you know, when all the beat 114 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: reporters will go away. You know what happened. It was 115 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: west Hodkowitz got the got the playbook. I'm the one 116 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: that got the list of agents in case anything happened 117 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: dur An extension went down. That's the experience you get 118 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: when the veterans are away. And yeah, it isn't going 119 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: to ultimately dictate anything today, but in two months from now, 120 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: when jobs are on the line, it's those kind of 121 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: experiences you can harken back to, you know, and trying 122 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: to claim one of those fifty three spots on the 123 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: active roster. Absolutely. With that, we're gonna go to a 124 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: break back with more on Packers Unscripted right after this. 125 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: Welcome back to Packers Unscripted. Mike Spofford in this chair, 126 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: Wes Hodkinwitz in that one West. We talk a lot 127 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: about how certain players they look different when the pads 128 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: go on later in the summertime. There's a player, and 129 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: we touched on this in an earlier episode, who looks 130 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: a lot different this year without the pads on. And 131 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm talking about third year offensive lineman Jason Spriggs. He's 132 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: just flat out bigger and stronger than we've seen him 133 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: through his first two years in the NFL. He first 134 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: came to the Packers as a second round pick from 135 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: the University of Indiana back in You got a little 136 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: insight into his meal plan. I guess we would say 137 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: in terms of how he's remade his body a little bit, 138 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: what did you find out? Yeah, and to me, Mike, 139 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 1: just again looking just the eye test um, this is 140 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: the most drastic body composition change I've seen, I honestly 141 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: believe in since Mike Neil going back to two thousands 142 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: their team. But that was Neil dropping say that was 143 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: that was the opposite, But you're right in terms in 144 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: terms of the difference coming back from the end of 145 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: one season to the start of the next offseason, it 146 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: is definitely different. At the beginning of the locker room 147 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: interview with Jason Spriggs, I got a chance to talk 148 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: to him by myself, but Larry McCarron had mentioned to him, 149 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: and you know, it almost looks like Jason Spriggs and 150 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: a half with rad he's put on He added about 151 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: twenty between twenty and thirty pounds. He said he's actually 152 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: now in the covering in the three twenties, so he 153 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: was really light at tackle and he said that goes 154 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: back to his high school days. He's a phenomenal athlete. 155 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: Four point nine four time in the forty was the 156 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: fastest among offensive lineman back at the two thousand thirteen 157 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: NFL scouting combines. Still did thirty one reps of of 158 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: two pounds on the bench press. But it's just never 159 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: has been natural for him to put on weight. Uh. 160 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: And if you remember him coming in here, he was 161 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: a physical specimen. I mean he was legit lean. I 162 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: mean there was not really announced a fat on him. 163 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: But we talked about how he had the frame, and 164 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: the first the first day we saw him, it's like 165 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: you look at that frame and you're like, that is 166 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: an offense of tackles frame, and he looks like he 167 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: can carry more weight. Now he now he is carrying 168 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: I said this from day one with him. He has 169 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: big pause. You can see how that frame can fill out. 170 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: We saw it with David bak tr and you're starting 171 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: to see it now with Spriggs. But to your original question, 172 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: how did he go about doing that? This isn't Wes 173 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: hog Kowitz after his freshman year at w g B. 174 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you wanted to put on clean, healthy weight. 175 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: You don't want, you know, fatty tissue and stuff like that. 176 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: It's one thing to gain twenty or thirty pounds, it's 177 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: one thing to be able to be able to function 178 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: with that weight. So him and the perform director of 179 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: Performance Nutrition, with the packers, Adam Corzon, the strength and 180 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: conditioning staff, they all sat down mapped up a plan 181 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: for him. Spriggs ended up spending his entire offseason in 182 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: Green Bay. Originally that was just because of the knee 183 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,599 Speaker 1: injury rehabbing that, but then once he was cleared, he 184 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: still decided to know what I'm going to see this 185 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: thing through. What the situation called for was basically him 186 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: waking up, eating a mini breakfasts, as he calls it, 187 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: going back to sleep, coming into lambeau Field, eating breakfast 188 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: at lambeau Field, the facilities here, lifting, working out, eating lunch, 189 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: going home, having a snack, having a pre dinner, a dinner, 190 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: and then another snack before dinner before bed. Um, And 191 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: he said he was asked the question by one of 192 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: the other Beat reporters about you know, how many calories 193 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: do you think you're taking in a day. He's like, 194 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: I couldn't even tell you. I just measured it by meals. 195 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: But the end justifies the means that. And Jason Spriggs 196 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: looks like a much more fuller tackle and he knew 197 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: he knew he needed to do that to be better 198 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: against the run and also the hold up better against bulrushes. Yeah, 199 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: and what we've seen so far, uh in the mini 200 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: camp at least this week is Jason Spriggs and Kyle 201 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: Murphy with with Brian Blag is still rehabbing David Baktari, 202 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: one of the excuse veterans, and Bilag would be an 203 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: excused veteran as well. Um they've been switching back and 204 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: forth right tackle and left tackle with the number one 205 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: offensive line, and we've talked about, you know, depending on 206 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: Bolaga situation, that starting right tackle spot might be open 207 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: for Week one, and Byron Bell was brought in as 208 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: a veteran, but Jason Spriggs and Kyle Murphy or two 209 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: guys who are going to compete for that, and Spriggs 210 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: is doing everything he can from the physical side of 211 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: things to put himself in the best position to compete. 212 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: Absolutely and by all accounts right now, justin mccraze looking 213 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: at that right guard position potentially starting there. So not 214 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: to say you still couldn't mix up some things there, 215 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: but that's his primary motivation right now. The Packers drafted 216 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: two tackles back in two thousand and sixteen with Murphy 217 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: and Spriggs, not necessarily because you know they need to 218 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: replace anybody, but you wanted to have those guys developing 219 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: and in your system if anything happened like it did 220 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: last year to Bolaga or David Baker when he missed 221 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: four or five weeks with the hamstring injury. Right So, 222 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: now that these guys are there, they're filling out, they're 223 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: healthy again, I know you talked to Kyle Murphy a 224 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: little bit and his road back from the foot injury. Uh, 225 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: the Packers, Both of those guys I thought really had 226 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: really shined in their limited opportunities last year. They just 227 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: had the injuries creep back up to kind of take 228 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: that opportunity away. Yeah, I'm really interested to see, as 229 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: we talked about on our last show, just how things 230 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: are going to shake out on the right side of 231 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: that offensive line in what we find out at the 232 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: start to training camp with regards to Bolaga and his status, 233 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: whether he's going to be ready to practice or if 234 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: he's on track to get back sometime during training camp 235 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: to have a shot at week one. A lot of 236 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: question marks there. But as we talked about the guys 237 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: who are competing for these spots and and for the 238 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: pecking order on the depth chart, it's a lot of 239 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: guys who, at least now they have some experience under 240 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 1: their belts. And I like the cross training philosophy with 241 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: switching up Murphy and Spriggs a little bit because, honestly, Mike, 242 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: that's what happens. You don't know where someone's gonna go down. 243 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: You don't know where they're gonna have to fill in. 244 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: You have to be able to be trained on both sides. 245 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: Spriggs was a specialist. He was a left tackle his 246 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: entire time at Indiana. Developing that technique on the right 247 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: side is equally important at this level. Yeah, and if 248 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: Justin McCrae is going to be the starting right guard, 249 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: you don't have your Mr versatile super sub who can 250 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: just jump in anywhere. You've got to have these tackles 251 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: ready to play right side or left side. So with that, 252 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: we'll go to a breakback with more and Packers Unscripted 253 00:11:53,800 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: right after this, Welcome back to Packers Unscripted. Mike Spofford Here, West, Hodko, 254 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: it's over there, West, shifting gears to the defensive side 255 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: of the ball. We talked about guys coming back from 256 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: injury and whatnot. Boy, what a difference a year makes 257 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: for a guy like Vince Bagel last year at this 258 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: time essentially not doing anything but trying to recover from 259 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 1: foot surgery. He had arrived in Green Bay as a 260 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: fourth round draft pick out of the University of Wisconsin, 261 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: participated in the rookie orientation right away, then had to 262 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: go have surgery on the foot. Was then on pup 263 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: missed all of training camp, didn't really get back into 264 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: practicing at all until late October, about midway through the season. 265 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: But now here he is year two or maybe year 266 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: one and a half in a sense. But he's been 267 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: on the field all the way along. Um, been here 268 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: through the entirety of the off season program, and uh, yeah, 269 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: this is a guy who has some things to prove 270 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: on the field, but he's putting himself in the right 271 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: position to do it because he's been healthy. Yeah, absolutely, Mike, 272 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: And I know that was such a tough thing from 273 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: last year, having surgery on your feet like that. Uh, 274 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: you know, at the same time and going through that process, 275 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: it's not easy. And you know he has he's able 276 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: to be in the meetings and be in there with 277 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: Clay Matthews and develop those relationships. But you can't simulate 278 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: that on the field stuff. And even when you get 279 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: back in there. We've seen this with j C. Treader. Um, 280 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: you know, a guy that's a bona fide starting center 281 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: in this league. Just how difficult that is when you 282 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: start the year on pup and try to catch up 283 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 1: as a young player. I think the older you are, 284 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: the longer you've been in this league, the easier it is, 285 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: but as a young guy, it's not an easy task. 286 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: In your first you know, two or three seasons. That 287 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: was where you know, Beagle admits he was playing catch 288 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: up and it's not easy to catch up on you know, 289 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: NFL players that have had months and months of preparation 290 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: on field, uh to to get ready for those moments. 291 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: That being said, he ended last year healthy. He was 292 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: able to do everything he wanted in his raining. This offseason. 293 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: He spent some time down in San Diego in February. 294 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: In March, went to Los Angeles and trained with Clay 295 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: Matthews and David Bakari, Kenny Clark, Aaron Rodgers, the list 296 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: goes on and on of other teammates that he was 297 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: working with. All to get back here in April and 298 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: start competing for a spot in that rotation. The opportunities there, Mike, 299 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen what's happened. You know, Clay Matthews 300 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: has missed most of the offseason program. Nick Perry has 301 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: been out this offseason. They've given a lot of those 302 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: reps to those young guys. So everything that Vince Bigle 303 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: really missed out on last year, he's been able to 304 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: almost get a double dose here in year two. Yeah, 305 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: and for all the talk obviously about the Packers not 306 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: taking an outside linebacker and edge rusher until the seventh 307 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: round of this year's draft, really when you look at 308 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: how things have shaken out with Beagle, it's as though 309 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: the Packers are getting a fourth round pick at outside 310 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: linebacker this year. Because his rookie season in many ways 311 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: was was a watch. When he did get into ball games, 312 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: you know, it was I'm sure with a very limited 313 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: sliver of the playbook that it was like, Okay, this 314 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: is a role that he can play. He can spell 315 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: a guy for a few snaps. This is going to 316 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: be a completely different situation. He's looking at wanting to 317 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: be maybe that next guy that goes in at outside linebacker. Um, 318 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: you know, to spell a Matthews or a Perry, and 319 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: maybe it's for an entire series, maybe it's for an 320 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: entire drive some like that, not just a player two. 321 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: So um certainly looks in shape and um, you know, 322 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: he's a guy who's who's going to be fired up 323 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: to put those pads on get out there in those 324 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: preseason games. Another thing that he didn't get last year. 325 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: He's going to have these preseason games in August to uh, 326 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: to get ready. UM really interested to see exactly what 327 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: he's going to bring to the table in Mike Petton's defense. Yeah, 328 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: he said, since the beginning, I mean, this has all 329 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: been a maturation process for him. And yeah, you have 330 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: the in state ties. He was at, you know, Wisconsin 331 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: Rapids High School. He went to Wisconsin. He played under 332 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: Jim Leonard there when he was a defensive backs coach. Uh. 333 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: And you know, Leonard has a has a really long 334 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: history of Mike Petton and they've had those conversations amongst themselves. 335 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: And the fact that he played in a three four 336 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: with the Badgers and Dave Randa's system. Uh, those all 337 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: helped him in terms of making that transition. But as 338 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: you and I both know, and I know our producer 339 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: Marvin knows, it's almost like the first day of high 340 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: school again, right. I mean you might have your pens, 341 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: your books and all that fun stuff going into the 342 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: west and way back we are we're dialing it back to. 343 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: But for real, think about it and the fact that 344 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: you you can be as prepared as you want to be, 345 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: but until you start going through those classes, until you 346 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: start getting a feel for what this is like. It's 347 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: an entirely different world. And I think that's the one 348 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: thing Vince Biegel has experienced, and the fact that he's 349 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: been willing to go out to California in these different 350 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: places to improve himself as a football player. He's really 351 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: just been absorbing all that knowledge from Clay Matthews and 352 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: company in that room, because, as you said, and you 353 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: laid out perfectly, there is opportunity in that rotation. There's 354 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: snaps to be had behind Matthews and Perry, and he 355 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: wants to be one of the guys that gets in 356 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: on that. Yeah. Absolutely. With that, we'll go to another 357 00:16:45,160 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: break back with moren Packers Unscripted right after this Welcome 358 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: back to Packers Unscripted. Mike Spofford next to Wes Hodkowitz 359 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: and West. We're about to take a summer break here 360 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: from the show as the players and coaches also take 361 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: their summer break. Um, we don't get to leave the 362 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: office for five weeks. That we don't quite have that 363 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: kind of cred around here. But uh um. But that 364 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: being said, before we go on a little bit of 365 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: a hiatus, there's one other thing I want to touch 366 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: on because, um it's gone a little bit maybe unnoticed, 367 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: you might say, in that players. The Packers ended last 368 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: season with a lot of players on injured reserve, and 369 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: a really good sign this spring is that most of 370 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: those guys were able to get back and beyond the 371 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: field and be in a lot of eleven on eleven 372 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: work um during this offseason program. We talked already about 373 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: Jason Spriggs and Kyle Murphy. There is a question obviously 374 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: with Brian Bulaga. We did not see him um during 375 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: O t S and will wait for an update in 376 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: training camp on him. But you talk about guys like kentroll, Bryce, 377 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: Quentin Rollins, Time Montgomery, Herb Waters, who's trying to make, 378 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 1: you know, fight for a roster spot here. These are 379 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: guys who dealt with some pretty serious injuries last year. 380 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: They were able to you know, kind of get their 381 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: feedback under him here during the spring and and it's 382 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: a good sign for them moving forward that they can 383 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: try to, uh try to fight for roster spots and 384 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: playing time with as deep as the I R list 385 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: was at the end of last season, I think it 386 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: was like thirteen or fourteen players by the time it 387 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: was all said and done. I was blown away during 388 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: that first o t A practice by seeing as many 389 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: guys being back on the field. Quentin Rollins coming back 390 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: off the Achilles injury. We saw Kentroll, Bryce with the 391 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: ankle surgery, you know, being around on the scooter for 392 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: most of the second half of last season in locker 393 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: room and he's able to make it back. Kyle Murphy 394 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: getting integrated back into things after having his own foot surgery. 395 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: So I have to imagine if I was Mike McCarthy 396 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: and these coaches, that's something you want to see because yeah, 397 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you look at where bolog is 398 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: at right now. He's an experienced veteran, He's come back 399 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: from this kind of stuff before. But you know, a 400 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: lot of these young guys, in some ways, this is 401 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: their first quote unquote major injuries. So it's not only 402 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: working your way back to get on the field, but 403 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: also making that progress and your rehab to be cleared 404 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: and to have those opportunities. I look at a guy 405 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: like Kentroll Bryce and Mike McCarthy was just effusive in 406 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: his praise for him during the final media availability he 407 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: had before breaking for the summer and saying, this is 408 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: a guy that communication wise, he's right where he needs 409 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: to be. He had one of the best off scene 410 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: offseason programs of anybody, and him coming off of that 411 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: ankle injury and being able to sort of get back 412 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: into a rhythm of things again, that's so so important 413 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: for these young players and being able to not only 414 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: put their best foot forward in terms of being back 415 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: on the field. But a guy like Bryce is right 416 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: in the thick of it right now for a starting spot. Yeah, 417 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: he definitely is. And even if he doesn't necessarily become 418 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: a starter with with the different packages and everything we're 419 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,959 Speaker 1: seeing that Mike Petton is going to run, I mean kentroll, 420 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: Bryce is is certainly in line for significant playing time 421 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: in this defense. One guy we didn't see in the 422 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: eleven on eleven work, but I think if he had 423 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: change his jersey and slipped out there, he would have 424 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: been just fine, at least by the way he looks. 425 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: I'm talking about Kevin King, because you know, he was 426 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: doing individual drills and everything like that, but he wasn't 427 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: fully cleared from the shoulder surgery to do the eleven 428 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: on eleven work. He would just be off to the 429 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: side on the sidelines doing pushups and everything like that. 430 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: You know, you talk about a guy who's itching to 431 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: get out there. I mean he's you know, he's cool 432 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: that he's like, hey, you know, it's a process. But 433 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: but he certainly sounds from the times that we've talked 434 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: to him, he is fully confident he'll be ready to 435 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: go for camp. Yeah, Michael, how many I don't know 436 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: how many push ups you can do, but I mean 437 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: he's doing these marine pushups on the sidelines. He's doing 438 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: he's doing twenty or thirty at a set, and then 439 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 1: and you see him do it at least four or 440 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: five times during the during the course of a practice. 441 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: He talked about that. He's like, you know, you just 442 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: you do that during certain breaks and whatever. He says, 443 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: by the end of the day, you've got three hundred 444 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: or four hundred of the men, and it's like, okay, 445 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: I mean it's again, they're not the West hot quits 446 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: arms spread out all eagle. I mean, they are tight 447 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: elbows in. I mean, he was impressive, but he wants 448 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: to build up about strength. That's been a big emphasis 449 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: for him coming back from the shoulder, you know, in 450 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: that labor and you know, getting that all strengthened back. 451 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: He again, if you haven't seen him in person yet. 452 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: Not to be labor this point, but Kevin King is 453 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: a physical He is a physical specimen. I know you 454 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: use that term earlier, but six ft pounds, this is 455 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: a guy that has great fluidity in his hips. He 456 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: has good speed when he's able to press. He really 457 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: you know, he packs a punch. Yeah, definitely. Well, as 458 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: I said, we are going to take a little bit 459 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: of a break here on Packers Unscripted, go on hiatus 460 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: and looking forward to it. Training camp starts in late July. 461 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: It will be here before we know it. But with 462 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: that we will sign off for now on Packers Unscripted. 463 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: Be sure to follow all of our coverage of the 464 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: team on Packers dot com on Twitter.
