Packers Training Camp LIVE - 7/30/26 - Hour 2 · The Huddle

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome back Live torain chki Field as the green Bay
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Packers enjoyed day number two of their twenty twenty six
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: training camp on Bill Schmid host the Packers OT alongside
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the voice of the green Bay Packers, Wayne Larravi.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: As.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Now we get into some special teams period, wrapping up
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the second team portion of practice number two, Wayne, we
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: almost had the play of the day on two sides.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Would have been a great interception by Keaton Oldappo, would
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: have been a spectacular leaping one handed catch by Savion Williams.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: But it's a game of answers, folks.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Ball hits the turf, a lot of ooze and ahs,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: but a lot of athleticism there in that team.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: And the quarterback Hyron Drones was rolling out under pressure
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: and let it go and got it downfield. It wobbled
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: a little bit, but he got it there. So showed
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: a lot of potential on all facets of that play.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned Drones and we talked about him
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a tick in the first segment, but he had probably
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the best play yesterday, rolling out to his right and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: hitting Neyer in the back of the end zone for
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: a touchdown.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: He's gonna gets so many.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Opportunities in the preseason games, so Packers fans get get
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: used to seeing and hearing that name, but just that
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: position in the third quarterback spot, because it is it's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: locked up this year and last. We've gone into camp
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: knowing who the backup quarterback was going to be last year.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Obviously Milieu Willis, who's now starting in Miami, but Tyrod
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Taylor has done just about everything you would need to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: do to probably solidify some of that spot. And now
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Tray Smack smacks his first field goal or extra point
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of the of the twenty twenty six camp.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: And if you're wondering at home, who's doing the snapping,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: it's Mike Guy. Sean Ryan starting center.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Looks good, Wayne looks good doing it. That's not an
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: easy thing to do when you're that that wide. You
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: know you've got some longer arms, but I mean, that's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a that's a tough bend. Even tougher if he's got
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: pads on. We're wondering if the emergency long snapper would be.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Maybe it is Seawan Ryan.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Maybe it is Love that he's got in his bag.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: He may be establishing that right here before our eyes.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Because you know he did a little bit of it
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: yesterday too, a little high snap there, but again Daniel
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Wheelan has such great hands and spotting the ball, and
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: then Tray Smack pokes it through.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Is Tray Smack gonna draw some of the loudest cheers
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: throughout training camp?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Well, it all goes through, Oh yeah, oh man, because.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Everybody remembers all the kicks that have been missed here
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: in recent years.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: The favorite player to talk about a lot of times
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: backup quarterback and kicker. We get them both out here
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: in the first three minutes of our number two of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: day number two of training camp live. But the kicking
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: competition is a serious peace. They talked about it yesterday
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Brian Goodkunt and Matt Lafleur. Matt mentioned it again here today,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Matt Orzick not being able to snap kind of slows
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: down and changes a little bit of the operation. Probably
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: not exactly how you would like to start camp that
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: way in the kicking game, but as long as you
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: can get some of the work in protection wise, seems
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: like that's all that they will be asking for and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: hoping for. As we break up here and we'll get
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: into one more I think team period before wrapping up
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: day at number two of Packers training camp. Around the league,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a couple of notable things that happened yesterday. Shamar Stewart
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was carted off the field, first round pick of the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. News out of their camp is that it
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: was just a hyper extension. He's expected back sooner rather
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: than later. Not as good a news for Brian Breezy,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: defensive linemen with the New Orleans Saints, one of the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: better young defensive linemen.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: In the league.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: He's expected to be out the entire year after an
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: ACL injury. And one player that the Packers are going
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to be taken on early in the twenty twenty sixth season,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Wayne Baker Mayfield, made some news here today said that
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: he's going to play out the final year of his
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: contract in Tampa Bay mentioned a couple of times being
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: really disappointed with the contract offers that were put in
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: front of him. It's an interesting time in the league
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: because you think that doesn't carry over. Hard not to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: think it doesn't set off a weird tenor of your
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: training camp.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it could he he could focus and
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: really have a standout year, or it could be a
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: distraction for him and eventually the rest of the team.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: We were here a couple of years ago when Jordan
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Love's contract was still floating out in the ether and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: signed what seven or eight days into camp. But it's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: difficult because it becomes still the story even if you're
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: not talking about it and talking right there in the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: midst of play number one, Franklin comes right up.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Right out at an a gap. I mean, nobody touched
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: him and he was in Jordan Love's lap, and Jordan
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: got the ball away on the left side the sky.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Moro made a nice play and he lets.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Out a big, solid scream right after celebratory and then
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: gets in to call the next play. I'm excited to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: see game actions, Hi, hear Franklin. It just feels like
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a player that is primed for a big resurgence and
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: somebody who's I mean, he's already making an impact from
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the handshake wise, I've seen him, got five or six
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: different ones already dialed in Wayne taking over some of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that leadership role on the defense.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: A good thing to be able to see.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, he'll be coordinating out on the field, There's
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: no doubt about that.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I love rips one off to Christian Watson another beautiful.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Evan Williams flashed in front of that, and you sit
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: there and say, how did Watson make that catch? Wow?
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Williams flashed right in front and then Jordan Love. You know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: cannon arm Folks, it's not just throwing the ball deep downfield,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: it's threading the needle, and he had to throw the
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: needle right there. That defense was right there. Actually, Billy,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I've been impressed with the coverage I'm seeing in big
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: secondary here in this practice today.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: They've been all around it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: And if you are just joining us back at practice today,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: is Keishawn Nixon. He missed yesterday a little bit of
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a hammy issue. He's back out there and back with
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the number one defense that's going up against the number
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: one offense right now, with just some different inclusions. Bo
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Melton in there wide receiver. After Christian Watson gets the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: gets the catch and that one falls incomplete. People would laugh,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: But I really enjoyed the little handoff off to the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: right side on the offensive line. Anthony Belton pushes off
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: on a stun, waits for the looping around defensive end
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to come into his area. Just handing stuff off. When
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you got certain players that are in and out. Zak
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Tom's gonna be the right tackle. I was wondering Wayne,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: if Anthony Belton would play a little bit at right tackle,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: if he would be kind of cross training. It does appear,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and today with Jagger Burton out, it has been him
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: at right guard, and that is all you have to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: worry about.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: And I think they really want to, you know, I
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: think their intent this year is to try to keep
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: some of these guys in one spot. I mean, obviously
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Jordan Morgan at left tackle. I think Belton the young
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: kid at right guard, you know, definitely, And I'm glad personally.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I'm glad to see that.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Good job holding the water by the offensive line.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Harrington Valentine had good coverage downfield of Matthew Gold in
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: that time.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: A deep ball off a free play, a perfect time
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and also another good cheer that comes from the Lambeau
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: crowd as Michael Parsons makes his way out here from
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the training center and grabs a couple of footballs and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: gives a couple of waves. Everybody excited to see the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: man in black over there. Mikeah Part person's back out
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: onto the field, but there in his place right now
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: we just saw it denied on the side with a
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: couple of nice reps as well find his way into
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the backfield.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Indeed, yes, absolutely.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Chris McClellan in their defensive tackle as well, this third
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: round pick for the Packers, Brandon cis Beck in there defensively,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and the zip on the football from Love and then
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the deep shot going to Christian Watson that just a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: little bit out in front of him.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: There's some some.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Timing that you can get back into, but a lot
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of Christian Watson during training camp just such a different
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and much welcome site after last year.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: All we could see him doing was running sprints with
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: a sled one.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Benjamin Saint just had the coverage on that, the veteran
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: cornerback free agent acquisition for the Packers. But again, you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Christian had a half step on him and the ball
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: just a little bit overthrown on the far side down
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: there away from us.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Packers and the second team offense going up now against
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the second team defense. As we enjoy day number two
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: of training camp live and Lucas Glover and there Travis
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Glover pardon me over at right tackle, and John Williams
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: was one of their draft picks a year ago, full
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: red shirt year. He's been lining up over at guard
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and left guard here, but that ball goes over to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Luke Lache, one of the undrafted tight ends from Iowa.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of people in the Midwest
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Waine that you just hear a player coming from Iowa,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you think he's going to be a Stalworth in the NFL.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Lahay definitely looks the part, big physical guy and seems
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: like he can at least be the inline blocker you need.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: See what you can get out of him in the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: past game.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know he may have a little more
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: in the passing game than people give him credit for,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: but certainly as an inline blocker, there's no doubt. We're
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: getting a look at Tyrod Taylor now running the offense,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: and you know this is a guy he's got experienced,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: sixteen years of experienced. Ooh, there's a dick. But Jonathan Baldwin,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: number thirty seven on your program Boys and Girls at Home,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: he comes.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Right over the top of was that neyor that the ball?
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: It was either Shepherd or neyor the ball was intended.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: For yeah, or just by Baldwin from behind to make
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: that pick hands catch everything you're looking for.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And instantly a couple of the top defensive players go
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and celebrate with him, and Carrington Valentine and Javon Bullard
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: set in the stage and celebrating and enjoying it. Man,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: is that you're Nazir Stackhouse getting in there with the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: celebration as well. You gotta have some of the dances here, Wayne,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and the defense is enjoying themselves in day one. Now
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: again you get a little a great pick like that,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: You get a couple of ooz and ohs. That was
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: an offensive player this place would have blown up road
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: game for the defense every.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Single here is no doubt offense.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Still with the Rod Taylor out there as well, Mayor
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in the slot and and j Michael Sturtamant, who we
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: talked about a little bit undrafted rookie from Florida a
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: little bit yesterday. Definitely looks the part had a tough
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: drop in team portion number one. It seems rather obvious,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: but I got to assume with some of those young players,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the ones that are coming in in their first couple
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: of days of an NFL camp, this next series ends
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: up being the most important. Right You had a bad yeah,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: couple of reps. How do you respond after going back
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and returning? Just the little ins and outs. Those are
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of the things that you're looking for here
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: in camp. Not necessarily who's making the plays, who's making
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a catch, it's how do you respond after some of
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the adversity, because it's only gonna come more once the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: regular season.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no doubt, and the coaches look for that too.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Billy Kyle McCord to Isaiah Nayor. Nayor's very interesting prospect
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: on this football team. Came on the squad late last year,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: played in that game up in Minnesota. They really liked
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: him at OTA's a mini camp, but Isaiah nayer is
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: a name to keep an eye on. And we've of
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: course mentioned j Michael Sturdivant. Will Shephard's been here for
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: a while. Those are the guys that you know, you
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: got to figure there are probably four or five guys
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: going for what maybe one open position.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe one maybe one and one maybe on the practice squad, right,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: That's that's kind of where you're where you're compeeded for.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And this is the fun part of training camp now,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: waiting for the next couple of weeks where you try
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to figure out how are.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: You gonna keep all these guys? How are you gonna
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: keep all these guys?
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, NFL teams are all trying to sweat out how
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: are we gonna keep five or six players? It's one
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: of the uh one of the true joys of training
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: camp in the NFL, and another joy for the Green
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Bay Packers is being able to welcome back some former
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: players who are here over on the sideline today, Nick Collins,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Nick Pick thirty six walking around over on the other side,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: James Jones, our friend and colleague on the Packers radio network,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and old number forty two, Morgan Burnette out scouting around
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: in I like being that name, trum tremendous player for
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a long time.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: We've had the double horn. You see a lot. You
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: see the guys who look like coaches but aren't their scouts.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: They're heading off. They know first and foremost practice has ended,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: and Matt wilfour has a team gathered around him out
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: at the middle of the field. So another you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I think, productive day of practice, and you know they'll
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: have another one tomorrow, and then the pants will come
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: on next week and we get into training camp for real.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: These keep going quicker and quicker.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Thanks to everybody joining us out here at Packers training
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Camp and on the YouTube stream x as well as Facebook.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: We'll be back after this and after they break things
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: down here. Day number two of practice has concluded. Our
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: coverage has yet to cease. We got a little bit
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: more of training camp live live from the perch at
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: rayn chki Field. He's the voice of the Green Bay Packers.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I'm Billy Schmid. It's all presented by the Potawatami Sports
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Book Bet Big, Bet Bold and Bet above the rest
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: It's Training Camp Live.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: The fresh cut grass smells beautiful. It's a great day
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: for Packers football. Day number two of Packers training camp.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Here live from the perch at rayn chkie Field on
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Bill Schmid alongside the Voice of the Green Bay Packers,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Wayne Larrevie. As the Packers wrap up their second practice,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Wayne Helmets going into the bins position breakdowns, finishing up
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: after the full team work. Good hour and a half
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Chris practice here today and once again feels like the
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: defense had a good day in day number two of.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: A new scheme.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like it, you know, I thought even
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: when the offense made plays. The coveragers right there. You know,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: there were a couple of times Golden got wide open
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: a little bit on over the middle, but beyond that,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: I thought the coverages right there. And you know, I
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: think so far these first two practices there are nothing
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: more than OTA type practices. But nonetheless, I think they
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: got some good work done here.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: It's spot on.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: It's not much more than OTA practice for what you're
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: seeing in terms of bey on the field work. The
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: preparation for it is long. It takes a long time,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and they'll now go be able to go in and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: rip through a lot of the film. But wide receivers
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Christian Watson and Matthew Golden felt like they also had
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: themselves a phenomenal day on the outside.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Those two in particular, Yeah, really in sky Moore had
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: a play and you know, you look at some of
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: these guys and again it's hard for us, Billy, we're
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: up here, broadcaster, we're watching this, you take it all,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: and we haven't had time to really digest what they
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: they did out there. But I thought, you know, it
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: was a nice good practice both ways. And the hard
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: part about training camp, Bill is once we get through
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: next week, we'll all be thinking great things. What we
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: think of who's gonna beat this team? You know what
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, because all we've seen is okay, if the
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: offense throws an interception, well the defense got an intercept.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: It if there's a lot of positivity when you watch
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: your team go against each other. Then you get into
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: the preseason games and you see a little something with
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: your backup personnel, the guys trying to make the roster,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: and then you really don't see anything until you get
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: to the regular season. Then that's an eye opener.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I couldn't agree with you more. It's difficult.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: And I joke about this with a hundred bomb guards
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: producing the show back in our network studios, and we
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: joke about it. With spring training, you're watching the same
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: guys take batting practice for seven weeks. Yeah, they're gonna
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: look good at some point. At that point, at some point,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: he's hit one over the batter's eye and you think
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: power's untapped. I don't know how on earth you got
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: it in twenty home runs. It can be difficult when
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: you don't think like there's a lot of guys here
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: that could catch forty or fifty balls, saveon Williams is
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: gonna be a unique case. He had a couple of
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: really good plays earlier on here today, probably had the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: catch of the day as well, and really a forgotten
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: man in that wide receiver room. When you've talked about
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the big three, the two that got paid, Reed and
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Watson in the first rounder of Golden obviously take a
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: lot of the oxygen. But Williams was really we talk
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: about the guys that were dinged up and fought through
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: stuff a year ago. Wayne, we learned later into the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: year just how dinged up.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: He was still trying to give them something last year.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, no doubt. And you know he's a guy. He
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: can help you in so many different ways. Billy as
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: a receiver, obviously, big body, big target out there. The
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: one thing when I see him run, especially over the
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: middle of thinking, wow, that's a big target, I almost
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: think tight end, you know what I mean. He's got
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: that dimension to him, that look about him. But he's
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: a wide receiver fast and the other thing I like
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: about him is that they can hand him the ball
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: on offenses they did a number of times last year,
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: and on those jet sweeps and that type of thing.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: He can be a very dangerous player, and he's physical.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: You know, yes, guys out the corner don't want to
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: come up and tackle him.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And there's something too having somebody who's six foot three
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: doing that instead of I mean, Jade Reid is very shifty,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: and I think he's a physical runner, but that size
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: is something different. And I think Williams went in the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: draft process in particular. I know, when when he gets drafted,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: you and I were rather intrigued. You didn't think they
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: were gonna go wide receiver again, at least that quickly.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: But some of the situations that unfolded last year, I
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: anticipate forced their I would think force their hand in
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: some of the offseason moves, whether it's letting Romeo Dobbs
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: walk in free agency. They weren't gonna pay him that money,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and then Tontavian Wicks getting a fifth rounder for a
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: fifth round pick three years later is a pretty good
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: value to have.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: But seeing what they think.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: They might have there may have allowed them some more
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: confidence in making a move.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: I think you're right, and we're seeing the defensive line
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: just did some sprints across the field, and you know,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: you wonder, the big guys, let's get the big guys tired,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: and then let's work.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I get a little more conditioning in there.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Actually, it's more like a jog than a sprint. It's
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: kind of like what I do across fit. Just it's
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: a job. It's not a sprint. I'm going I'm going hard,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: darn it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I'm going as fast as I can. And if you
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: ask me to prove that to you, I'll prove it
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: by going slower this.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Watch this. My heart rate is one seventy nine. Man,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: that's high.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: It's on the internet.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: That's what idea.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: You can't You can't change that one.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: It is a beautiful day and was a beautiful one
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: here for practice number two as the corners are going
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: through some individual post practice work and our friend Chris McClellan,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: third round rookie, doing what a rookie should do after
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: day two of practice. Here, Wayne looks like he's picking
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: up some helmets. Yeah, so chivalry is not dead as
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: well as a gentle wealth. Them back to welcome to
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: the NFL moment. We can't let you not carry some
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: pads and said, there's no pads. Grab as many of
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: those beautiful yellow lids as you can, young man.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: No, and and he'll he or another rookie he'll probably
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: have to pick up the piaches at Sammy's, you know,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: and maybe Saturday night or something. You know, there's they're
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: just certain little things you have to do as a
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: rookie to earn your stripes off the field.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Interesting one here as well in the post practice, you know,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: individual work. I wonder this way and when you see
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: so few times on the field and opportunities in practice,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: so much of what they're doing out here after while
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: not force the pond players, I think there's a lot
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: of players that need and want some extra work. We're
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: seeing the two young quarterbacks throwing some balls over here
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: to start event and Will Sheppard in company where it's
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: we only get so much time on the field, but
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I always want to get a little bit more because
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: this is at the end of the day, competition for
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: a lively at the biggest job interview.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Some of these guys are ever going to have.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, they worked out a little over hour yesterday, about
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: an hour and a half, as you said today, you
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: know when they get the pads on, they're going two hours, right,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: no doubt. But you'll still see people after practice, even
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: a hard physical padded practice work at the jugs gun
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: and things like that. Yeah, the little bit of extra
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: that you can do during training camp, obviously, that's that's
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: a recipe for making the squad.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: A couple of corners.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And DB's going through some slow, you know, individual drills
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: in front of us. We see the Minu Jackson, the
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: second of the two corners being taken by the Packers
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: out of Alabama this year, and just working on exactly
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: what we watched young Jonathan Baldwin do earlier in practice. Ever,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: cut that crossing route which was one of maybe the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: best plays that we saw here today Wayne and taking
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the football away something they're gonna desperately have to do.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: I think it was the best play we've seen. And
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Jonathan Baldwin's in his second year. He out of UNLV
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: sixteen weeks. Last year on the practice squad. He did
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: play in the Minnesota other season finale, sixty six snaps
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: in that game, Billy, he had seven tackles for solos,
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: and you know, he also played a little bit in
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: the wildcard playoff game at Chicago the following week. This
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: is a guy kind of keep an eye on number
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: thirty seven. It'll be interesting to see how many safeties
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: they keep. I think they'll probably keep more. They might
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: keep five safeties. Yeah, and based on that nickel position
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: or the slot cover totally is a lot of times
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: of safety today.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Wayne, I think we, you know, the last
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: couple of years, we've talked so much about the changing
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: kickoff rule and the body types that teams are gonna
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: be looking for on special teams. That spot is definitely
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: one that hybrid safety I think of like a Dao
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Buchanan was the name that Arizona had for a number
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: of years, or a little thicker than most safeties, very
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: undersized linebacker.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: But the ability to go in both of those.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Levels is kind of an undervalued piece run, isn't.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: It That era you're talking about. Jeff Fisher was the
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: head coach of the Rams. He's a defensive guy under
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Buddy Ryan, and that was when they started saying, Okay,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: we're gonna take a safety and bring him down into
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: the box because these offenses are getting a little too
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: fast on us now and you need a little more
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: speed instead of just this brute strength. You're right, undersized
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: linebacker really a safety by trade. But the more you
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: can do is Lafleur said earlier today, the more you
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: can do as a player, the more value you have
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: for your football team.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Obviously like a couple of the linebackers also with some
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: extra work here after practice, Zayi or Franklin amongst them,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: and Tyron Hopper and Isaiah McDuffie.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Now McDuff McDuffie re signed glue guy.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: We talked about him at Teck Hopper pops with the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: pick in the playoff game, Wayne and I think there's
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: some folks that have been wondering when he was going
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to get another opportunity, more of an opportunity. Feels like
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: he's pretty entrench though that's not a bad place to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: be in year number three. Just good depth piece for
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: them at inside yause you can tell there's some real athleticism.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: I agree with you wholeheartedly. Now the other factor, the
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: other thing he does third leading special teams tackler from
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: a year ago twelve total tackles. So he and a
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: guy like Nick Neeman, Kristin Welch, these are inside linebackers. Franklin,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: Cooper McDuffie are in How many inside backers do you
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: keep a lot of that has to do with special teams,
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: and I would say all three of those guys I
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: just mentioned Hopper, Welch Nieman are all excellent special teams players,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: and that's a big part of your coverage. Then you
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: get to the edge rushers. You know you've got Brenton
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Cox Den I Dennis Sutton is going to have a
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: role somewhere along the way. You know, Colin Oliver's I'm
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: sure is in a battle to make this roster in
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: one form or another. But that's what you're looking at.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: You know, a lot of those guys can they play
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: special teams? How much can they contribute there? How important
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: are they in that aspect of it?
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: And that's one thing that you touched on it a
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: tick earlier. We got to see a little bit of it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to see how he does develops and changes
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: some of the thought processes or just you know, procedures
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: during camp. There's a new special teams coordinator. I think
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Acord's done a good job. Everything looks rather concise, but
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: also we're so early. Just focus on the easiest stuff.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: The fundamentals is basically all we've seen out of special teams.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: And there's a reason for that. Seven weeks away from playing.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Around, no question about it. And you know, again we
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: talk about a new scheme on defense, well, special team's
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: going to be a little different too. You've got a
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: new special teams coordinator, Cam Acord, for those who don't know,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: spent I believe, four years in New England, a couple
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: of years as the coordinator under Bill Bellijack with the Patriots,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: and then the last two years he was the assistant
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: special teams coordinator for the New York Giants. So he
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: brings a nice background in he's you know, I like
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: to see an assistant coach with a varying background, not
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: just one today, because that's going to mean I'm getting
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: a little more complete coach here. He's got some other ideas.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: It's not just one system.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: And I also think that that position requires a real leader,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: no doubt about it, from somebody that's got to coach
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: pretty much everybody on the football team.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: You got to be able.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: To figure out what triggers you're gonna be able to
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: trip with, you know, eighty some guys unless they start
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: putting Jordan Love out on kick return, which I don't anticipate.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: There's like forty five of the fifty three players on
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: the team that you're gonna be dealing with and working with,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: whether or not it's you know, field goal block or
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: field goal protections, you're touching and having some communication and
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: coaching with just about everybody on there.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: And I know around here people get real critical about
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: the special team, but understand what they're up against. Okay,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: special teams, unlike offense and defense, they get one play
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: at a time. That's fair, one play at a time. Secondly,
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: due to injuries elsewhere, your special teams coverage units in
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: return units could be changing on a weekly basis. You know,
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: you lose a starter one place now all of a sudden,
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Like let's just for example, all right, Nick Neeman has
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: to become a starter, Well, chances are his role on
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: special teams will be diminished because they're not going to
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: be using him as much. There you got to get
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: another guy ready to play his role on some of
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: those teams coverage. But so there's a lot of variables
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: that go into it. But the fact is they get
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: one play at a time. So the offense has a
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: bad first down, well they got second to third down,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: or they got another first down to rectify.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: They got some opportunities to make up for it, no
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: doubt about it. Let's get some some comments here as
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: we wrap up day number two, packers are starting to
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: fully exit the field. There was Carrington Valentine taking a
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: couple of pictures and signing a couple of autographs here
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: after day number two. She's had Tyler said, happy camp boys.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Twitter fingers are on the beat, are tickling the touch
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: screens about the new DC. Jonathan Gannon sending Cowboy Coop
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: off the edge on a scale of one to twenty eleven.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Clay Matthews, how great is he looking there?
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: I'm glad I mentioned that when I saw him coming
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: off the edge and he was all over Jordan Love
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: on that play. But boy, this is something we talked
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: about and I've talked on a lot of different shows
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: about it. I think it's a matter of will they
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: be able to deploy him. Obviously, Jeff Hafley did not
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: feel comfortable with what he had last year getting Edge
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: into the offensive backfield as much. Coop, who's an excellent
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: coverage linebacker, excellent athlete, fears to have good instinct. They
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: used a lot of times he was either stopping the
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: run or he was covering somebody out of the backfield
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: or a tight end. So I think this year, now,
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: when you have a guy like Zayi or Franklin who
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: can handle a lot of things on the inside, maybe
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: this is where we're gonna see a little more of
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: veteran Cooper showing up.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's not any knock against the way that
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Kway Walker. No, he plays really good football. He did team.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: But there's a there's a veteran leadership there, there's a
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: real consistency and also just the h the aggressiveness to.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Say, now you got to go get the football.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we're asking you to do, is go
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: get the football and go make plays. Allow that play
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: making ability which had him won lead the team in tackles,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: tackles for lost sacks, force fumbles, and interceptions in college
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: in the SEC.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those numbers you don't just make up.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: No, you don't. And the other guy we're anxious to
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: see when they put the pads on is Deny Dennis Sutton,
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: who had great numbers at Penn State and somehow, and
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: I know Goody was trying to move up in the draft.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: We talked about it. He was trying to move up
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: in the draft, get back into the third round to
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: draft Deny Dennis Sutton. He couldn't do it, but then
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: was shocked when Sutton Sutton still there sitting there Goody's
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: picking in the fourth round and was like, wow, okay, boom.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I got itchy trigger finger on a trade there. Wayne,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: while we were doing the entire fourth Yeah.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: You're about to send a card up there for Goody.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: I was gonna sprint up to the podium. I'm gonna
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: help him out if they needed to. Before we wrap
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: things up here in segment number two, Star lev on
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the YouTube comments had a good one here. Wanted to
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: say thank you, Wayne Larvie. We live in Texas, so
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: we don't get to watch all of the games, but
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: even the ones that we do watch, we mute turn
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: you and rock on watch all the games with you
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: guys commenting. And that is a cool one to be
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: able to bring this conversation in this broadcast to people.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Across the country, because it sure is.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: There's so many like myself who grew up in the
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: state where this was the last vacation my dad and
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I would take during the summer. He'd take one day
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: off save one of those vacation days from the factory
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: and we'd come up for it. It's an incredible, family
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: friendly and cost affordable day out here. But for those
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Packers fans, there's so many of them that aren't here,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: We're glad that we're able to bring.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: You some of what the sights and sounds.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's an honor. It's a pleasure to do that,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: and we enjoy the conversation at practice and reacting to
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: what we see.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: And for Packers fans like Starliv who's listening to here
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: and gets to listen to Wayne call games on the
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Packers radio network. Wayne, you're doing a phenomenal job of
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: firing out every single one.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Of these names.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, we are every single play that happened throughout.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: There were five or six times you didn't even have
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: to consult the sheet mid season format, friend, weeks away
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: from the first preseason game.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: No, just trying to do all the homework here, guys.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: You know, how do you.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: How do you work ahead now for the Pittsburgh preseason
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: game because those are these are got to be some
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: of the most challenging ones with ninety players.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: The first one is tough, you know, it's it's a
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: little different preparation but the first one you don't have
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: any tape to look at. For example, the second one,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: I'll have some Denver tape to look at, so I'll
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: see a lot of their backups in there, and that
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: when you can see them on tape, that helps in
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: the memorization process. But Pittsburgh, no, you kind of started
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: a week or two early, and you start that process
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: and my chart is already put together and I've got information,
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: so I'm kind of trying to, you know, do that
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: aspect there.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: We could also maybe some old friends could maybe help you.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Who just call Aaron and Big Mic and maybe they
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: could just give.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: You some big Michaels fill me in. I'm sure, absolutely no,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: he's my guy. One of the I would have to save.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: All the head coaches I've worked with. The two of
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: them that stand out to me from a people's standpoint,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: from a talent standpoint, from a head coaching standpoint are
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Marv Levy and Mike McCarthy. Marv was my first coach.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: We were in Kansas City. My first year was his
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: first year as head coach of the Chiefs, and I
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: was so happy and pleased to see him go on
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: to Buffalo have tremendous success there. I wish he had
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: won a Super Bowl, but then was rewarded with the
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and we
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: were all very proud of Marv Levy and what he
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: did there. One of the most eloquent coaches you gues
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: ever talked to. And he's still wrong. He's like ninety
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: nine years old down there in Chicago. Always loved the Cubs.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: And he ends up being one of the beautiful marvels
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: of human society being able to.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Be as sharp as he is still at this age.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: And I mean, he posted a video, I want to
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: say last year about the Buffalo Bills going into the postseason,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and Wayne, the hair on my neck just stood out
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: because he fella, you're in a meeting room with the
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: old coach. A phenomenal one.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: It really was. And you know, I remember like it
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: was yesterday. You know, here I am twenty three years
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: old and Marv got his first head coaching job and
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: we're at William Jewell College in Missouri, and we're a
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: training camp. And you know, after practice, after two days practice,
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Marve would run about a mile two miles around that
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: and I ran with him. It was great.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: You don't get that kind easy.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: You don't get that kind of exposure to coaches today,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: you know. And I remember, like it was yesterday. At night,
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: we would stay in the dorms. As matter of fact,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Bill Poli and I used to wake him up in
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: the morning because I was doing morning sports on CACFO
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: and he was in the room next door and I
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: used to wake him up every morning. But we would
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: at night, you know, after everything was down the coaches,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: we'd go to the dorms, the coaches dorms and just
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: sit around and drink a beer two And the popcorn
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: and the popcorn was unbelievable because they they cooked the
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: popcorn and the bacon grease from that morning. Oh my god,
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: totally unhealthy folks. None of you would do that today.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: But that was good stuff.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, that's an unbelievable delicacy to be
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: able to enjoy and just that kind of unfiltered. Yeah,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: access is a way of putting it. But the the
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: understanding of the shared interest here, right Like as the
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: play by play man of the team, you're conveying it
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: to fans as to why and how to enjoy the team.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: But there's such a weird struggle with with allowing in
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: and being afraid to be just who you are. I
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: don't know if there's anybody more comfortable in his own
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: skin than mar Marv Levy.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: And you know, when I would interview him, I would
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: never have to worry about asking him something that might
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: tick him off because he had the vocabulary to talk
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: around anything I asked. His vocabulary was phenomenal. Now, Mike
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: ted go is a little different story. You didn't want
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: to tick off the old bit. That would be a
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: little different that I walked with kick gloves there. I
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: only talked to Mike if I absolutely needed to, you
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: know what I mean? Yeah, life depended on it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: The Platteville ones might have been a little bit different
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: now in Missouri. But in Mike McCarthy's standpoint, I don't know.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: There's a Packers fan alive watching us and listening to
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: us that isn't incredibly happy for the human being getting
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: that opportunity coach his hometown team with his parents right there.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: It's build stuff that you can't even make up.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: Bild a fabioe. For those of you, if you're a
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: McCarthy fans, and you want to get a little insight.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Bilde Fabio went with Mike on a tour of his
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: old neighborhood. Bill A. Fabio's longtime writer for the Pittsburgh
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Steelers and he works for the Athletic. Now the articles
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: in the Athletic, it's a great article about Mike, and
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: you know that's that's yeah. I had breakfast with Mike
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: last November and he was telling me, he said, you know,
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: I watched three teams. I watch the Packers, the Cowboys,
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: and the Pittsburgh Steelers because the Steelers were his team
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: as a kid growing up in Greenfield, you know, one
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: of those suburbs of Pittsburgh. So but it's a wonderful
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: story because it's not all roses. I mean, Mike, Mike's
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: brother died after the twenty fourteen season, unexpectedly of a
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: heart attack. They were very close in and you know,
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: so all the places he passes now, that's the basketball
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: court we used to play all the time, and this
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: over here we played stickball over here, that kind of thing.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: So you know, there's a lot to it. But I'm
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: so happy for Mike and getting that job, and think
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: about his career. Head coach of the Green Bay Packers,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. There aren't three
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: franchises much more reviewer than those.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: No, I mean there are three of maybe the top
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: ten brands in all of professional sports.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, and to have those kind of.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Touchdown franchises and to do it again your own way
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: and have a personal touch to it. In that article,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I think they said something of now the acting Art
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Rooney the third had mentioned how much his grandfather and
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: father would have loved a Pittsburgh guy being.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: The coach of the Steelers.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Deelers like that, that stuff that you almost would write
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: it in a book or a movie, but if you
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: sold it to Hollywood, they might say, let's give us
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: something a little more believable.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, No, but no doubt. But it's great. We're
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: all happy for Big Mike and hoping he does well,
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: and we make it a chance to see him at
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: that preseason and that's gonna be cool.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, you know, maybe, I mean, who knows, maybe Aaron
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Rodgers just decides to trot out just for old time sake.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: He'll be out there in a T shirt and shorts,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: that's for sure.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Well, there was a quote from erin yesterday, somebody asked
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: him about, well, why did you come back? He said, well,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: my wife gave me permission to come back for one
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: more season to be with Mike McCarthy and Pittsburgh. You
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: know what, if that's true, that's good, that's.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Good, yes, and it's it's good for all of us
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: that say, why why'd you end up being able to
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: play eighteen today? I thought we could only hit nine.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: My wife gave me permission to miss the rest of
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: the day.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I might as well enjoy the rest
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: of them.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. You know there's someone else you have to
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: think about it. And you know that as well. I
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: was gonna say, yes, when you have a partner, you
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: got to think about them too.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: There's there's these hierarchies in the front office, right. There
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: might be a GM, but there's a president of Football Operation.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lead to decision maker.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: In all Household episodes, BOS end up being a little
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: bit clearer and more easy to delineate.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Eight seven, seven, seven nine to four one nine seven three.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Our friend Gilbert on the talkings are on the YouTube
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: comments had great stories.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Thank you Wayne.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Those are phenomenal ones. We get a lot more of
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: them as we continue through here Training Camp Live. We'll
• 36:18

  Speaker 1: us last couple of days, friend Matt Lapey of the
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Laravie La Pey podcast and Badger Radio Network. Enjoying the
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: hat selection here. Now block somebody.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Blocking football like that.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: It's important way and then we got to block some people.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Not a whole lot of good blocking going on here.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: In shorts and T shirt that picks up this weekend.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: One more day of the appetizer, one more day for
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: us to eat, just the little bits and pieces that
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: they walk around during cocktail hour before you get into
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: the meat and potatoes of packers football impads coming up
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. You know, the excitement is rolling through. But
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: did feel like they got good, clean work here today.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: I'll be it quick, in just an hour and a half.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hour and a half. But I thought, yes, today's
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: practice was much more productive. At least I'm not a
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: trained eye, folks, but it looked like a lot more productive,
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: a lot more team periods that we saw, which is
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: always fun to be able to kind of dissect. And
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: so yeah, they're just kind of ramping up. That's what
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: this is. And tomorrow and another day in helmets and
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: T shirts and then boom.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: As you mentioned, Malaflor mentioned it earlier yesterday. I think
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: it was in one of his press conferences speaking to
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: just the amount of players they have on the injured
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: list to start camp.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: It's too many.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of them, so you have to find
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: a way just slowly build some guys in and be
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: able to, you know, maybe temper down some of those
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: team periods today.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: There were a bunch of them.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Yesterday it was red zone stuff and inside the ten
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: and five yard line, which was, you know, selfishly great
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: for us here on the perch right in front of us.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: But to see just the different mix and matching of groups,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: and I think personnel wise, especially on defense, that's what
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: you're really looking for early on who's running with who
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: and who's starting to make a little bit of an impact.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: That's exactly right, Bill, you know, and and again, but
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: you always have to temper that by saying, Okay, they
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: may be trying, these coaches may be trying a combination
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: here of guys just to see what they've got to
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: see can he if we need to, can this guy start?
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: You know that kind of thing. So you have to
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: temper it with that. But no, you're right, and to
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: see where, like especially pokies at first year players, you know,
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: where are they running? Are they with the Tuesday, with
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: the threes? Are they with the ones? And so you
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: know that kind of thing.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Another good day. We've mentioned him a couple of times.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Brandon Sees was around the football a lot. They tested
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: him in coverage a couple of different times, Jaden Reid
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: and Christian Watson, but Christian Watson and Matthew Golden back
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: to back plays Jordan Love kind of picking on the
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: rookie going right at him and the packers being able
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: to complete some some quick intermediate you know, in out
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: patterns over to Watson and just a quick stop route
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: where Matthew Golden had the rookie really turned up.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: And for those of you aren't here and you're listening
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: to us, I will say this about Matthew Golden. I
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: don't know what you think, Billy, he looks different to me.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: He looks in good way. Yes, he looks more in
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: command of running the route tree of he seems more
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: decisive in his cuts. I think this kid, you know,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: maybe I'm reading something into it, but he looks to
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: me like he's no longer a rookie. And I understand
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: he's not physically, but yeah, mentally he's he's intellectually he's
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: not a rookie anymore. He's really running like more of
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: a veteran. He has a veteran presence about him. He
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: did not have a year ago.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: And Christian Watson made a mention of that yesterday. I
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: know the locker room availability uh gets gets run through
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: and everybody has different things to discuss. But Christian Watson
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: was rather complimentary about what he thought Matthew Golden did
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: in the offseason and being able to keep yourself on
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: A large portion of that, I got to assume.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Wayne is just simply being able to build off of
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: the positives that you have. It's a lot easier said
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: than done to remain you know, upbeaten positive throughout all
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: of camp, because that's one of the reasons why camp exists,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: to have you go through the trials and tribulations in
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: a much truncated version of what you probably are going
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: to go through for the next four or five.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Months, no doubt. Well, now, Billy, we've come to the
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: stage of practice where they're picking up all the toys.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: They're not gonna let you and I hit the tackling
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: dummies out there after we get off the air there.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm just disappointed that we didn't get a
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: chance to get out there and work against some of
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: those toys.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: That I was gonna say, one of these days, they should.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: Let us play with the toys. One thing, thank you.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: One of these days they need to get us and
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: allow us to go play with that jugs machine. Yeahcause
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing way too many guys that have way too
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: much fun with the jugs machine. And you're right, we've
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: reached the point in practice where not only have most
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: of the security persons cleared out here, most of the
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: on field equipment staff is clearing out. All the family's
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: gone to That's when you know this you're one of
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: the last ones here. When all of the family is
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: checked off and the last of you know, the eleven
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: and twelve year olds have played their own football game
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: that happens in the far end zone, that's when you
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: know you're one of the last drag.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're you know, matter of fact, we're so late
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: in getting out of here, folks, we may not be able.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: I think all the gates are locked now. We're not
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: gonna be able to get out of here. So we'll
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: just sit here and wait for tomorrow's practice.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I met, I met that beautiful existence yesterday way and
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: where I went down to our far left and realized
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: that the far right gate was the one that they
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: kept open for us.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: So that's that.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: That was a trek and a half, but a good
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: one and one that we're going to be making throughout
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: training camp. And we'll be back coming up tomorrow. Wayne
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Learvy'll be out tomorrow. My friend Aaron Nagler will join
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: us coming up tomorrow from Cheesehead TV and carry the
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: g Radio the podcast Final Things Wayne, as we wrap
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: up your day number two, Jonathan Gannon. A lot of
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: people want to know a lot of different things about
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: the defense. I think, most importantly it seems like they're
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: being very multiple. But I thought communication was really good
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: here today as well. There's only so much we can
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: you know here we're not inside of the huddle. But
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Zier Franklin coordinating the Green Dot. He was taking charge
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: throughout early and often.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely well coordinated, and I really loved what we
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: saw some of the pressures, disguised pressures that we saw.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: We saw Coop come around the corner, Edgeran Cooper. You
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: know more of that, please, yes, more of that. But no,
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: I think it was a good productive day of practice
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: in helmets and shells.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: There's only so much that we get until we get
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: into the best part of training camp that fires up
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: in just a couple of days time. Sunday will be
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: the first full padded practice that the Green Bay Packers
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: go under.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Keishaw Nixon again.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: The Headlines was back out there today, jagger Burton was
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: not as he nurses a little bit of a hamstring
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: that flared up very quickly in the process. Did he
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: look okay as far as the hammy, and Nixon said
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Starlev Well, jagger Burton looked good in the little bit
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: that he was talking to different human beings.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Nixon looked good, I thought, and waiting too.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: He's he's one that a lot of people have their
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: ire up for and he is gonna be one of
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: the more discussed players during camp and he gets to
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: live the wildlife of a defender during training camp. Every
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: time you make a good play, people here are probably
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: a little disappointed on the stands where we're saying, because
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: they just want to see touchdowns and first downs.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. It's a fan oriented thing here at training camp,
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: no doubt about that. But again, for those of us
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: who report on these things, Bill and we fall into
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: this every year. We really you know, we see an interception,
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: oh the defense, Hey, you know, that's great, there we go.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: But you know, on the other side of the offense
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: threw a pick. But by the same token, offense completes
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: a big play to Matthew Golden. Hey, that's awesome. Yeah,
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: but the defense gave up a big play. But all
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: of this gets positive in our brains, and by next
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: next week, I'm thinking the Packers are going to the
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: super Bowl.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Wayne, very soonly enough, our presenting sponsor,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Podawatamy Sportsbook might be seeing me for twenty to one
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: for the Packers over the super Bowl, because I don't
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: know how they're gonna lose a game.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: And I'll be right there behind you.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Nobody's losing getting it.
• 44:37
