Speaker 1: Hi everyone. Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford. He is wes Hodkuits. We're coming
Speaker 1: to you here from our studios at lambeau Field West.
Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, and as we always say, on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: it's turned the page day. So we will start looking
Speaker 1: ahead now to this upcoming Sunday home game for the
Speaker 1: Packers at lambeau Field against the Miami Dolphins. Flex to
Speaker 1: a three pm kickoff from originally a noon kickoff on
Speaker 1: the the earlier schedule for those who weren't aware of that,
Speaker 1: but Miami Dolphins a f C East. As with all
Speaker 1: a f C opponents, the Packers only see them once
Speaker 1: every four years, so it's been a while and the
Speaker 1: Dolphins haven't been the lambeau Field since two thousand and ten.
Speaker 1: And when you look at this two thousand eighteen version
Speaker 1: of the Miami Dolphins, where do you start, Well, I
Speaker 1: mean you would like to start with the quarterback position,
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill coming back from the a C L but
Speaker 1: then he suffers this capsule injury that appears to just
Speaker 1: have him out indefinitely. At this point, there hasn't really
Speaker 1: been given a strong timeline and when he could potentially
Speaker 1: be back, and as of the time in which we're
Speaker 1: shooting this, we don't know what they're they're gonna be
Speaker 1: doing at Wednesday's practice. So that means Brock Osweidler has
Speaker 1: become their starting quarterback. And certainly Osweiler has been through
Speaker 1: a lot of ups and downs over the last couple
Speaker 1: of seasons. I got the big contract with Houston, didn't
Speaker 1: work out, gets his contract traded for a second round
Speaker 1: pick along with the second round pick to Cleveland. Cleveland
Speaker 1: cuts him, he goes to Denver in Willa, he's with
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. The thing though about Oswald that I've
Speaker 1: been impressed with this season at this point is that
Speaker 1: he has been protecting the football and he starts that
Speaker 1: they've they've had him out there for it. As strange
Speaker 1: as it sounds, Mike, this Dolphins team at five and four,
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not overly dynamic, but they found ways
Speaker 1: to win ball games, and you have to tip your
Speaker 1: cap to that. I also thought, considering how quick of
Speaker 1: a start they got off too and then falling back
Speaker 1: to three and three, have found a way to rally
Speaker 1: and get some wins in recent weeks. Yeah, they're at
Speaker 1: five and four right now and right in the thick
Speaker 1: of the wild card hunt. Obviously, with three and oh start,
Speaker 1: they were hoping to be a little bit better than
Speaker 1: five and four after nine games, but as you said,
Speaker 1: kind of went through a rut. Now they rallied a
Speaker 1: little bit. That victory they had down in Miami over
Speaker 1: the Bears, a wild and crazy victory a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: That was as Wilder's first start, I believe in place
Speaker 1: of Tannehill, and uh, that was that was a big
Speaker 1: one for them. They won last week against the New
Speaker 1: York Jets, I believe. Now they've beaten the Jets twice,
Speaker 1: two of their five victories UM over the Jets. But
Speaker 1: you said it with Osweiler, he's protected the football. Because
Speaker 1: I got an interesting question in an Insider inbox with
Speaker 1: all the talk about, hey, the Packers defense needs to
Speaker 1: start getting turnovers, and a fan asked, well, maybe a
Speaker 1: warm weather quarterback coming to Lambeau for a chili game
Speaker 1: in November. Maybe that's a warrant. I should say, a
Speaker 1: warm weather backup quarterback coming to Lambeau for a chili
Speaker 1: November game. Maybe that'll get the Packers going with the
Speaker 1: turnovers on defense. Well, Osweiler, he's only thrown three interceptions
Speaker 1: this year, has not fumbled the ball, not just hasn't
Speaker 1: lost a fumble, but hasn't fumbled it at all. And
Speaker 1: I looked back at the sixteen box score when Oswader
Speaker 1: was the starting quarterback for Houston. He came to lambeau Field.
Speaker 1: Remember it was kind of a snowy like early December game,
Speaker 1: the type of game where you think warm weather team
Speaker 1: is going to have some trouble. There was one turnover
Speaker 1: early where the Texans, I believe it was their tight end,
Speaker 1: fumbled the ball right in the beginning of the game.
Speaker 1: But Osweiler didn't throw a pick, didn't turn the ball
Speaker 1: over in that game either, And the Packers didn't put
Speaker 1: away that Texans team until the fourth quarter. So this
Speaker 1: is a guy that yeah, yeah, it was. It was
Speaker 1: snowy and wet and yeah, and there was some sleet.
Speaker 1: It was just it was a strange weather game, a
Speaker 1: little chili in December. But but yeah, the Packers defense
Speaker 1: needs to start taking the ball away. But to Oswiler
Speaker 1: may not give them a lot of opportunities. If he
Speaker 1: does give them one, they have to pounce on. Because
Speaker 1: here's the other thing. Frank Gore's in that backfield, and
Speaker 1: while he is thirty five years old right now, Frank
Speaker 1: corp has actually had a pretty darn good season. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's kind of gotten the winning share of that uh,
Speaker 1: that committee approach that they're taking with him and Kenyan Drake. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's really interesting because he's not giving you the football either.
Speaker 1: So I think that's really been a big thing for
Speaker 1: the Dolphins so far. You look at those two wins
Speaker 1: that you mentioned over the Jets thirteen to nine and
Speaker 1: twenty to twelve. You don't do that if you're turning
Speaker 1: over the football and giving them favorable field position. So
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze's guys have found a way to win. It's
Speaker 1: a little bit different approach than they took last year,
Speaker 1: where it was Jake Cutler stepping in, and we obviously
Speaker 1: know some of the takeaway in turnover issues they had
Speaker 1: on that team. So yeah, it's gonna be incumbent on
Speaker 1: the Packers to pressure Oswidler, assuming that's what the quarterback
Speaker 1: is going to be, and not allow a guy like
Speaker 1: Kenny Still's going either. Because Stills has been on sort
Speaker 1: of this hot and cold stretch this year where he
Speaker 1: has some really you know, dynamic downfield, big play games,
Speaker 1: and some other times where he's been taken away too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well you mentioned the ageless wonder Frank Gore in the backfield.
Speaker 1: Amazing what he's doing at that position at thirty five
Speaker 1: years old. And just you talk about the wear and
Speaker 1: tear on the tire, so to speak, it just seems
Speaker 1: like Frank or puts a new set of tires on
Speaker 1: every season because he just keeps going. He's leading these
Speaker 1: guys in rushing. He's got over four yards on the ground.
Speaker 1: A complimentary back in Kent, is it, Kenyan Drake? Sorry, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got a little ahead of myself, um, Drake. There
Speaker 1: he's averaging I think close to five yards to carry
Speaker 1: as as sort of the complementary back to Frank Gore.
Speaker 1: And then you mentioned Stills. They lost Albert Wilson to injury.
Speaker 1: He was kind of their big play receiver, whether it
Speaker 1: was Tannehill or Oswiler, so they've lost some of that
Speaker 1: big playability. But Stills is a guy who can kind
Speaker 1: of get hot, as you said, and and make some
Speaker 1: big plays down the field. So there are some some
Speaker 1: weapons here, some options for for Osweiler. They didn't have
Speaker 1: a good game offensively last week against the Jets, but
Speaker 1: I watched a good portion of that game they had
Speaker 1: at home against Chicago because I believe that was the
Speaker 1: week the Packers are playing on Monday night, so I
Speaker 1: was home on a Sunday to watch other games, and uh,
Speaker 1: they moved the ball up and down the field against
Speaker 1: that Bears defense. Khalil Mack wasn't playing, but that Bears
Speaker 1: defense really struggle to stop them. Yeah, they did. You know.
Speaker 1: I wanted to mention to Danny Ammond. Dola has sort
Speaker 1: of been the favorite target here the last few weeks
Speaker 1: for Osweiler, not really the big play aspect of it,
Speaker 1: but being able to help them move the chains. But yeah,
Speaker 1: to your point, the Dolphins. The thing that's that's gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting about them for the Packers perspective is there's
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons why the Packers have to win
Speaker 1: this game, but the biggest one is that if you
Speaker 1: look back to the last month, the Dolphins have lost
Speaker 1: to the Lions, They've lost to, uh, the the Bears.
Speaker 1: So I mean the Packers considering those a f C
Speaker 1: as you mentioned those they beat the Bears put the
Speaker 1: thirty one to twenty when over time. Yeah, So, I
Speaker 1: mean with those type of opportunities we saw it before,
Speaker 1: We've talked about it with some of these other matchups
Speaker 1: with the uncommon opponents. That's where ultimately you need to
Speaker 1: win your games in your division, but you can also
Speaker 1: pick up a lot of steam getting those victories as well.
Speaker 1: So I'm interested to see how it plays out, because
Speaker 1: I think, as I mentioned you on the show, I
Speaker 1: believe it was yesterday the day before. This isn't Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: this isn't Jared Goff. You know it is brus brock Osweiler,
Speaker 1: And there's a reason why he came in the years
Speaker 1: the back up to Tannehill. The Packers had some issues.
Speaker 1: When you go back to that game last month against C. J. Bethard,
Speaker 1: they have to take care of business against the quarterback
Speaker 1: like this. If that ends up being what it is
Speaker 1: on Sunday, well, I'm gonna take care of a little
Speaker 1: sponsored business here West before it gets away from me.

Speaker 1: dot com. Slash Packers Bows the official headphones of the
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. Okay, shifting gears to the defensive side
Speaker 1: of the ball for the Dolphins. You know what I
Speaker 1: like to do when it comes to trying to figure
Speaker 1: out a team's defense. I like to look at the
Speaker 1: stat sheet and go, Okay, what are the numbers? Are
Speaker 1: there any numbers, any stats that jump off the page
Speaker 1: to me? With this team, fifteen interceptions in nine games
Speaker 1: west not just games, as many interceptions as they have
Speaker 1: sacks right now? Fifteen sacks, fifteen interceptions. Remarkable, Remarkable what
Speaker 1: they've been able to do in terms of taken away
Speaker 1: the football. Yeah, they have three players who have three
Speaker 1: interceptions a piece on the season, a fourth player with
Speaker 1: two interceptions. Now, it makes for an interesting matchup because
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has thrown only one pick all year? Am
Speaker 1: I correct? Yeah? One interception all season at the halfway
Speaker 1: point for Aaron Rodgers going against a team that's picked
Speaker 1: off fifteen balls in nine games, and quite frankly, I
Speaker 1: know I keep talking about this game against the Bears
Speaker 1: because it's the one I watched and it's how I
Speaker 1: got at least a little bit familiar with the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: The interceptions from at least there was one huge interception
Speaker 1: there might have been a secon one for ms Rubinsky
Speaker 1: was really what turned that game around, because the Bears
Speaker 1: were in control of that game in the second half
Speaker 1: until Trubisky got picked and and that was it was
Speaker 1: an interception in the end zone when the Bears were
Speaker 1: either going to get a touchdown or at least a
Speaker 1: field goal to get a two score lead in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and that interception in the fourth quarter just
Speaker 1: lifted up Miami and led this comeback that led to
Speaker 1: kind of the crazy finish in the overtime and everything
Speaker 1: that went on with that. So Aaron Rodgers needs to
Speaker 1: continue to protect the ball. These guys they're they're going
Speaker 1: to take their chances to try to get interceptions because
Speaker 1: it's what they've done and it's and it's been defensively
Speaker 1: what they do best, because when they're not picking the
Speaker 1: ball off West, they give up a lot of yards
Speaker 1: and points. That's the biggest point I was gonna try
Speaker 1: to make because I was looking this up right now
Speaker 1: with with where they're at on the season, yet they
Speaker 1: currently fifteen interceptions leads the NFL in that category, but
Speaker 1: they the opposing passer rating still eight seven point four,
Speaker 1: which is somewhat surprising when you consider that you have
Speaker 1: fifteen picks. Yeah, to be in past defense sixteen touchdowns allowed.
Speaker 1: So there has been opportunities, certainly some big plays that
Speaker 1: mix into that as well. The thing that I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be most interested about, well here Mike Petton talk on Thursday.
Speaker 1: But Petton uh player he was once attached to as
Speaker 1: a rookie. Kiko Alonso is the middle linebacker there for Miami.
Speaker 1: He's had some injury issues that he's had to work through,
Speaker 1: been on a couple of different a few different teams now,
Speaker 1: but is settling in there with Miami. I think a
Speaker 1: D eight tackle summer eighty tackle somewhere around there. Three
Speaker 1: of those fifteen picks belonged to him. We know Mike,
Speaker 1: and we've seen it in the past and Don Caper
Speaker 1: has always talked about it. Joey Jr. You want your
Speaker 1: secondary to take the ball away, but when you're linebackers,
Speaker 1: when your secondary players in the trenches can start to
Speaker 1: find ways to be able to do that, that's where
Speaker 1: you're really going to be able to get maximize your
Speaker 1: production in that capacity. That's what stands out to me.
Speaker 1: The biggest question mark right now for the Dolphins is
Speaker 1: this whole kind of controversy surround owning they're all pro
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl safety Rashad Jones. That's what I was going
Speaker 1: to ask you about, because I apologize I didn't do
Speaker 1: my research here on this before we turn the camera on,
Speaker 1: but I saw a couple of headlines related to Rashad Jones.
Speaker 1: What exactly went on there? So in the gate this
Speaker 1: past week, at some point this is all a cord
Speaker 1: to Adam Gaze. It's not like this is a report
Speaker 1: or anything. Gaze step to the podium after the game
Speaker 1: and said, yeah, Rashad Jones pulled himself out. This was
Speaker 1: the Jet skis this is the Jet skame on Sunday,
Speaker 1: pulled himself out from the game. Two interceptions. On the year,
Speaker 1: he's been to the Pro Boy. I believe the last
Speaker 1: two seasons considered one of the top of his position
Speaker 1: in the league right now. So he pulled himself out.
Speaker 1: Minca Fitzpatrick, who you and I talked a lot about
Speaker 1: in the lead up to the NFL Combine to the
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. Their first round draft pick ends up coming
Speaker 1: in has played situationally at points this season, and that's
Speaker 1: how they finished the game. But as of after the game,
Speaker 1: all the beat writers that I followed from Miami the
Speaker 1: locker room was not talking about Jones. Jones did not
Speaker 1: speak to the reporters, So up until this point right now,
Speaker 1: we really don't know everything that went on other than
Speaker 1: the act at that game ended without him on the field. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just a strange situation because the defense for the Miami
Speaker 1: was playing well. I believe they intercepted Sam Donald four times.
Speaker 1: Things were certainly going well on that side of the ball.
Speaker 1: But then uh, but then down the stretch Jones wasn't
Speaker 1: on the field, and then the stranger The real strange
Speaker 1: thing about this is this isn't just the first or second.
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's been there since two thousand and ten.
Speaker 1: He's thirty years old, he's been in the league sort
Speaker 1: of coming to his own the last couple of seasons.
Speaker 1: But I mean he's been with the Dolphins for eight
Speaker 1: seven eight seasons now so and and obviously with Adam
Speaker 1: Gaze now the last two and a half. So I mean,
Speaker 1: it was a strange circumstances and we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: see exactly how that plays out. But if he's on
Speaker 1: the field, historically he's been one of their top playmakers
Speaker 1: in that unit. Yeah. Well, you mentioned earlier the fifteen
Speaker 1: sacks that they have through nine games, which is not
Speaker 1: a huge number by any stretch. Their leader in that category,
Speaker 1: not surprisingly as Cameron Wake. But he has but he
Speaker 1: has only three this season. But we've seen in other
Speaker 1: games over the years against the Packers Cameron Wait can
Speaker 1: be a handful. Now. I mean, if he's lined up
Speaker 1: across from David bak Try, the Packers will take that matchup. Certainly,
Speaker 1: they have all the confidence in the world in Bok
Speaker 1: tr but Cameron Wake is a guy that when it
Speaker 1: comes to pass rush, you have to keep your eye
Speaker 1: on him because he can explode at any moment. Well,
Speaker 1: what's funny too, is the Packers Cameron Waggs had an
Speaker 1: up and down career. Obviously, if you know, if you
Speaker 1: follow his story was in the CFL. I mean, he
Speaker 1: kind of took the long way to get into the
Speaker 1: NFL and and be able to become the player that
Speaker 1: he did for the Dolphins. But it seems like the
Speaker 1: Packers have always caught him in that four year intervals
Speaker 1: you talked about in his best seas exactly two thousand
Speaker 1: fourteen sacks. Two thousand fourteen he had eleven and a half.
Speaker 1: I remember being a part of that Beat Corps and
Speaker 1: the narrative going into that game about David Bak try
Speaker 1: playing him and what it was gonna take to be
Speaker 1: able to calm him down. I can't really remember off
Speaker 1: the top of my head how he performed in that game.
Speaker 1: But yeah, as far as this season is concerned, three
Speaker 1: sacks and seven games. As I mentioned, uh thirty six
Speaker 1: will be thirty seven in January, so he's been doing
Speaker 1: this for a long time. But as we've seen with
Speaker 1: the Julius Peppers of the world, guys that are in
Speaker 1: that you know, six three, six four and higher, you
Speaker 1: know it's two sixty eight range, they can find ways
Speaker 1: to be effective pass rushers in their later thirties. And
Speaker 1: while it is only three sacks, I think Wake has
Speaker 1: done that to a certain extent. Yeah, alrighty uh West,
Speaker 1: another bit of sponsor business here at home or here
Speaker 1: in the stands. We all know that Green Bay fans
Speaker 1: give it their all and that takes a lot of energy.
Speaker 1: So grab a warm bowl of Campbell's Chunky Soup. It's
Speaker 1: meaty goodness fuels the greatness of Packers fans everywhere. Try
Speaker 1: to try the delicious classic chicken noodle soup. Just visit
Speaker 1: your local supermarket and asked for Campbell's Chunky Soup. Official
Speaker 1: sup partner of the Green Bay Pass. And just to
Speaker 1: follow up on that, Wake had a sack and a
Speaker 1: half in that matchup in Miami that hot day down
Speaker 1: in Miami in two thousand fourteen. Yeah, that was a
Speaker 1: hot one and that that was one that came right
Speaker 1: down to the wire there Aaron Rodgers with the fake
Speaker 1: spike in the past to Davante Adams and then the
Speaker 1: touchdown to Andrew corlis in the in the final seconds,
Speaker 1: big win Andrew corliss career to Roger showed a lot
Speaker 1: of confidence there to throw them that ball in that situation.
Speaker 1: Remember him talking afterwards about how they had actually discussed
Speaker 1: that if he got that matchup against the linebacker, they
Speaker 1: wanted to exploit it and they did. Yeah, alright, Well,
Speaker 1: one other thing we need to get to before the
Speaker 1: end of the show here, Weston. That is a roster move,
Speaker 1: A couple of roster moves for the Packers. On Tuesday,
Speaker 1: Geronimo Allison unfortunately placed on injured reserve. Mike McCarthy had
Speaker 1: had mentioned that it was a pretty significant injury that
Speaker 1: he was dealing with, So Allison now out at a
Speaker 1: minimum for the remainder of the regular season. He would
Speaker 1: potentially be eligible to come back for the playoffs if
Speaker 1: the Packers were to qualify, and if they have still
Speaker 1: have an option to bring him back from i R.
Speaker 1: The other thing is, for the second straight week, the
Speaker 1: Packers have shipped out a safety who was playing a
Speaker 1: lot of snaps for this team. Last week ha ha.
Speaker 1: Clinton Dix has traded Jermaine Whitehead is released on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: This week, he uh had been ejected from the Patriots
Speaker 1: game for slapping the opponent, the opposing offensive lineman in
Speaker 1: the face mask. I don't think this is necessarily just
Speaker 1: because of that one of these situations that there can
Speaker 1: be a lot of other things that go into a
Speaker 1: decision like this, But the bottom line is the Packers
Speaker 1: continue to have to make adjustments in the secondary. What's
Speaker 1: your sense at this early stage of the week what
Speaker 1: this next adjustment is going to be. Well, the first
Speaker 1: thing is to me that I mean it must and
Speaker 1: again I don't want to speculate in this, but it
Speaker 1: must be somewhat positive for Ken tro All Bryce that
Speaker 1: there isn't a significant injury there if the Packers are
Speaker 1: willing to part with white Head, considering he was the
Speaker 1: backup there between now Truman Williams and Bryce. But we'll
Speaker 1: have to wait and see there thought Josh Jones played
Speaker 1: well given the opportunities that he had. The biggest thing
Speaker 1: that Whitehead was doing is he was playing that what
Speaker 1: I've almost referred to as that Burnette linebacker role where
Speaker 1: you're you're lining up next to to Blake Martinez. Josh
Speaker 1: Jackson played that spot a little bit. We've seen Kenstroll,
Speaker 1: Bryce be able to move up in the box before.
Speaker 1: Obviously last year Josh Jones handle it when Bright when
Speaker 1: Burnett was down, So there are options there. The you know,
Speaker 1: the biggest interesting thing to me is that a week
Speaker 1: after the Packers make two trades, this was about as
Speaker 1: eventful but Tuesday as I can remember in some time
Speaker 1: for the Packers. With as you mentioned, also Geronimo Allison
Speaker 1: going on injury reserve. You hate to see that just
Speaker 1: because of how doggon consistent he had been up to
Speaker 1: that point, I believe was on pace for a thousand yards. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the first four games in the season, first four games
Speaker 1: of the season, Allison was off to a great start
Speaker 1: this year, was producing just the way everybody had hoped
Speaker 1: that he would as the number three guy, a position
Speaker 1: as the number three receiver that he didn't relinquish to
Speaker 1: anybody throughout the off season. Throughout training camp, he took
Speaker 1: ownership of it and was was producing. He gets the concussion,
Speaker 1: and then coming off of the concussion, suddenly the other
Speaker 1: injuries a hamstring and a groin injury crop up, and
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, his regular season is over. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I want to just mention to Ibraheim Campbell was claimed
Speaker 1: off waivers on Monday as well, so the Packers do
Speaker 1: have another safety option there. I don't want to dismiss
Speaker 1: that former fourth round pick of the Browns is actually
Speaker 1: has some Northwestern connection. Four guy is now on this
Speaker 1: roster that played at Northwestern. Kind of interesting. All that's
Speaker 1: uh sort of worked out. And then lastly the other thing,
Speaker 1: Will Redmond gets promoted in place of Jermaine Whitehead. Redmond
Speaker 1: is a really interesting story. If you know anything about
Speaker 1: this guy played at Mississippi State was a third round
Speaker 1: pick of the forty niners three years ago, but has
Speaker 1: never played in an NFL game before. Pretty remarkable considering typically,
Speaker 1: you know, even if guys maybe don't necessarily click somewhere,
Speaker 1: they still get those opportunities. He never got that, so uh,
Speaker 1: it could be a big, big opportunity for him, you know,
Speaker 1: these next couple of weeks if he can get on
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, and if people are wondering, how are
Speaker 1: the Packers managing this with all? With all these roster
Speaker 1: was One thing we didn't mention is that the second
Speaker 1: punter that was signed last week, Drew ka Kaiser, was
Speaker 1: released and an interesting story there. You wrote about it
Speaker 1: on our website. The reason the Packers had had grabbed
Speaker 1: the second punter over the weekend was because of j. K.
Speaker 1: Scott's wife and the fact that she's due to give
Speaker 1: birth any day now. I haven't seen any updates if
Speaker 1: the baby has arrived yet, not yet, But the Packers
Speaker 1: basically had an entire contingency plan in place from when
Speaker 1: they were in Massachusetts if j K. Scott needed to
Speaker 1: miss the game and come back. What did you learn
Speaker 1: about That kind of reminds you of the West Hodkowitz
Speaker 1: scenario in Carolina last year, right where three days beforehand
Speaker 1: we decided I wasn't gonna go and then lo and
Speaker 1: behold there's my son in the middle of the second quarter.
Speaker 1: Um no, and this is it meant a world to J. K.
Speaker 1: Scott to to be able to have that conversation with
Speaker 1: Brian good Quin's. They had a plane available for him
Speaker 1: and ready to go back if he needed to get
Speaker 1: back at a moment's notice. She's due November fourteenth, so
Speaker 1: a week from today, but he said that all likelihood
Speaker 1: they'll probably end up inducing this week, so they'll probably
Speaker 1: one day here where maybe J K. Scott Mrs Practice.
Speaker 1: But being proactive and the fact that they did have
Speaker 1: a spot open on the fifty three man roster, they
Speaker 1: go and get Kayser bring him in. Former punter with
Speaker 1: the Chargers, could not have been more of a gentleman
Speaker 1: in my time dealing with him, And J. K. Scott
Speaker 1: said too, he actually enjoyed having him around over the again,
Speaker 1: because as you and I probably forget, at least I forgot,
Speaker 1: he didn't even have any competition in the off season.
Speaker 1: He didn't any competition in camp. I don't know what
Speaker 1: the situation was like at Alabama or how many punters
Speaker 1: they had running around there, but this was his first
Speaker 1: opportunity to really sit down and talk shop with a
Speaker 1: guy that's been in the league, and it was kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, beneficial in that way. Yes, Scott's sounding board
Speaker 1: since he's been here really has been Mason Crosby certainly
Speaker 1: a veteran guy, and plenty he can learn from him.
Speaker 1: But a veteran punter coming in and even just for
Speaker 1: a couple of days and getting a chance, as you say,
Speaker 1: to talk shop of with that specific skill and guys
Speaker 1: have been drafted in the league too, Yeah, something that
Speaker 1: the rookie definitely appreciated. Yeah. And now now with where
Speaker 1: things stand in totality after all this, the Packers do
Speaker 1: have one spot open on the fifty three man roster.
Speaker 1: As we didn't talk about this show at this minute,
Speaker 1: you know, you do have Jake Kumar available, you do
Speaker 1: have Trevor Davis available. We'll have to see what they
Speaker 1: do there. Brian Goodkin said last week they're both options
Speaker 1: to be returned. So it's gonna be interesting now with
Speaker 1: Allison and I are what they could potentially do with
Speaker 1: that spot. Yeah, we'll see if there are some more
Speaker 1: roster moves in the mix. But with that, we are
Speaker 1: going to call it a wrap on this edition of
Speaker 1: Packers Unscripted. Be sure to follow all of our coverage
