Speaker 1: the al. Go out and make sure that you're listening
0:27
Speaker 1: to Aaron Nagler daily talking Packers football throughout the twenty
0:30
Speaker 1: twenty six championship season. Next last day before the real
0:34
Speaker 1: stuff happens and the pads come on. The big time
0:37
Speaker 1: takeaways from camp those come in a couple of days.
0:40
Speaker 1: The biggest one is how good does it feel to
0:43
Speaker 1: be back in the state watching Packers football? And appreciate
0:47
Speaker 1: you coming over here by all of us fans to
0:49
Speaker 1: be able to enjoy instead of all the cool kids
0:51
Speaker 1: on the media side.
0:52
Speaker 2: Oh no, this is the cool side. This is great.
0:54
Speaker 2: I love it.
0:55
Speaker 3: You're perk here getting to see the entirety of the
0:57
Speaker 3: field all at once, as opposed to when you're you're
1:00
Speaker 3: on the other sideline and you have to walk up
1:01
Speaker 3: and down, you're missing half the action.
1:03
Speaker 2: I can see everything up here.
1:04
Speaker 1: This is amazing. And the best thing is, and I
1:07
Speaker 1: think Luke but Kiss maybe vouched for it. They put
1:11
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman.
1:12
Speaker 2: Right right in front of us.
1:13
Speaker 1: And I mean not only just the you know, the
1:16
Speaker 1: two on one, the combo drills that they're doing right
1:18
Speaker 1: now and Jordan Morgan flying next to Jacob Monk. You
1:22
Speaker 1: get to see just how athletic and physically imposing they
1:25
Speaker 1: can be without pads. Excited to see when it happens
1:29
Speaker 1: with pads on. But these guys right and here and Eggs.
1:31
Speaker 1: When we've talked on Carrie the g Radio, the podcast
1:33
Speaker 1: another one Liken subscribe and if you haven't, you're missing out.
1:36
Speaker 2: Yes we are.
1:37
Speaker 1: I feel like weekly we've talked about that being the
1:40
Speaker 1: biggest wild card for the twenty twenty five season, that
1:43
Speaker 1: it's already been put to bed and the twenty twenty
1:45
Speaker 1: sixth one that we're just birthing here.
1:46
Speaker 3: I mean, it's no mystery at all that they can
1:51
Speaker 3: score a bunch of points, move the ball without question,
1:53
Speaker 3: regardless of what the offensive line looks like.
1:56
Speaker 2: They did that all last year.
1:58
Speaker 3: But yes, this group, if it in roofs it gives
2:01
Speaker 3: you a better, more consistent, high level of play throughout
2:04
Speaker 3: the season, then they're really gonna be cooking with gas
2:07
Speaker 3: on the offensive side of the ball. Because we know
2:09
Speaker 3: you keep Jordan Love upright, you keep him clean, he
2:12
Speaker 3: is going to tear you apart. He's going to absolutely
2:14
Speaker 3: feast on NFL defenses. As long again as he's got
2:18
Speaker 3: a pocket, give him a pocket, he will destroy you well.
2:21
Speaker 1: And as long as maybe the cry for help and
2:25
Speaker 1: the statement of begging from our man Aaron Agler earlier
2:29
Speaker 1: today towards the head coach maybe helps. When you did
2:32
Speaker 1: get Matt Lafleur earlier today within the last one hour
2:35
Speaker 1: and fifteen minutes to say we're gonna let Jordan Love
2:38
Speaker 1: cook that that that feels like rather significant news here
2:42
Speaker 1: on day three of tray.
2:42
Speaker 3: I mean, he was probably responding to somewhat of a
2:46
Speaker 3: joking nature that I set it in.
2:49
Speaker 1: But it's on the record now. Yeah, yeah, now we
2:52
Speaker 1: can't back there.
2:52
Speaker 3: We made a social you know post about it, so
2:56
Speaker 3: it feels like that's news.
2:57
Speaker 1: Listen. Words can come and go, but clips live forever,
3:00
Speaker 1: especially on the internet, especially in Packers fandom, where I
3:03
Speaker 1: think and I want to get your take on this
3:05
Speaker 1: because Jordan is gonna be the main talker even though
3:09
Speaker 1: it feels like we haven't talked about him a whole lot.
3:11
Speaker 1: Today the main talker will be Tucker Craft back at
3:13
Speaker 1: practice and he's out working with the pass catchers right now.
3:17
Speaker 1: Looks phenomenal. I mean like we're not supposed to talk
3:20
Speaker 1: about the guys that are in the rehab group, so
3:22
Speaker 1: we've shots not in.
3:25
Speaker 2: Him.
3:26
Speaker 1: That's the dude looks cut like no other. When when
3:29
Speaker 1: I see a picture of anybody squatting six plates, I
3:32
Speaker 1: get excited. Knowing what he did in the off season
3:37
Speaker 1: around the injury and then to be ready with the
3:40
Speaker 1: injury very exciting. But he feels like one of those
3:42
Speaker 1: guys that I think the next key for Jordan in
3:45
Speaker 1: the offense, especially in the past game not just shrinking
3:49
Speaker 1: the mouths to feed, not only condensing the targets, but
3:52
Speaker 1: maybe a little selfish and knowing at any point in
3:55
Speaker 1: time that guy can win a one on one matchup
3:57
Speaker 1: and even if the look might say run the ball,
4:00
Speaker 1: maybe just get it to him in a one on
4:02
Speaker 1: one and see if he can break a tackle and
4:03
Speaker 1: make us play well. I think that's the next evolution
4:06
Speaker 1: of his game, that that comes only with time and
4:09
Speaker 1: confidence in everybody around well.
4:10
Speaker 3: And we saw some of that towards kind of the
4:13
Speaker 3: end of that stretch he was on the field last year.
4:15
Speaker 3: And that is such a big component to the Packers
4:17
Speaker 3: offense in general, as far as get the ball to
4:19
Speaker 3: a guy in space and let him run with it.
4:22
Speaker 3: Tucker did a ton of that last year, especially those
4:24
Speaker 3: last couple of games prior to going down against Carolina.
4:27
Speaker 3: But you're not wrong as far as you know building
4:29
Speaker 3: that kind of thing into an offense, and we know
4:32
Speaker 3: actually asked Matt about that this morning. As far as
4:34
Speaker 3: the work they did in the offseason to break down
4:37
Speaker 3: the offense and then build it back up from the
4:38
Speaker 3: base principles, I have to think some of that is
4:42
Speaker 3: going to be built around how do we get the
4:44
Speaker 3: ball to Tucker with the ability to run after the catch,
4:47
Speaker 3: because man, he made absolute hay in that regard in
4:51
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, and I got to think they're going
4:53
Speaker 3: to look to kind of pick up where they left
4:55
Speaker 3: off their Week one in Minnesota and one.
4:57
Speaker 1: Of the other guys that they didn't have for the
4:59
Speaker 1: majority of the season who's made that one of his
5:02
Speaker 1: specialties is is Jayden Reid. I mean his his past
5:05
Speaker 1: catching numbers rookie year were great, but it was what
5:08
Speaker 1: he does when the balls in his hands as to
5:10
Speaker 1: why he just got paid on Draft DA And I
5:13
Speaker 1: think the consistency of those guys in the lineup obviously
5:16
Speaker 1: number one the most paramount part of it. But to
5:18
Speaker 1: be able to capitalize when you have all those guys
5:22
Speaker 1: on the field, I don't know that there was a
5:24
Speaker 1: snap last year where you had Craft, Watson, Red, Golden
5:29
Speaker 1: Jacobs all five on the five. Well, he's never had
5:32
Speaker 1: them all on the field one time. And for in
5:36
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, a team that had nine wins and
5:39
Speaker 1: had control of the number one seed to not have
5:41
Speaker 1: their best five guys on the field at one time,
5:43
Speaker 1: that feels like a positive going into the year.
5:45
Speaker 2: You would hope so.
5:46
Speaker 3: But then you can turn around if you're a cynic,
5:48
Speaker 3: which on the internet, that does seem to happen.
5:50
Speaker 1: So it's a good place to live.
5:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, a few cents out there that you know you're
5:53
Speaker 3: counting on that happening in a way that they have
5:56
Speaker 3: a lot of these guys have not exhibited the ability
5:59
Speaker 3: to stay on the field, to play all the games
6:02
Speaker 3: in a season. Football is a violence sport. We all
6:04
Speaker 3: know injuries are part of the game. Injuries are going
6:06
Speaker 3: to strike. But any stretch of time where they can
6:09
Speaker 3: get those that group together, it's the sky is the
6:13
Speaker 3: limit for the offense. But it does come back to
6:16
Speaker 3: if they have time, if the offensive line does its job,
6:19
Speaker 3: if they get a better performance up front. That to me,
6:23
Speaker 3: and we've talked about it all off season, that is
6:25
Speaker 3: the entire key for the offensive side of the ball,
6:28
Speaker 3: but also someone kind of the defensive side of the
6:30
Speaker 3: ball early in the season, while you're waiting for Micah
6:32
Speaker 3: Parsons to return, the best way to help your defense
6:36
Speaker 3: is to a Possess the ball and b score a
6:38
Speaker 3: ton of points, yes, and make that opposing offense one dimensional, because, man,
6:44
Speaker 3: the longer you know they have to rely on a
6:47
Speaker 3: Micah less edge group, the tougher it's going to be.
6:51
Speaker 1: Even though I like the parts of the edge group,
6:53
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to them a lot later on here.
6:55
Speaker 1: That offensive line yesterday. The biggest quote during the locker
6:59
Speaker 1: room period was when Aaron Banks, I think we can
7:01
Speaker 1: have the best offensive line in the league. Now, all right,
7:04
Speaker 1: that's wonderful, and we gotta have confidence.
7:06
Speaker 2: This is July.
7:07
Speaker 1: Everybody could at this point. Nobody's lost the.
7:09
Speaker 2: Game yet No.
7:11
Speaker 1: I just the consistent nature that they never had a
7:14
Speaker 1: year ago gives me confidence that it could happen now today.
7:18
Speaker 1: At least during the walk through portion was the first
7:20
Speaker 1: time that we had a look of all five you're
7:22
Speaker 1: assumed starting five, uh from left to right, Morgan next
7:27
Speaker 1: to Banks in the middle, Sean Ryan, Anthony Belton, who
7:29
Speaker 1: looks really good here year number two body looks phenomenal,
7:32
Speaker 1: and then Zach tom Off of the patella injury right
7:35
Speaker 1: next to him. We'll see once they get to, you know,
7:37
Speaker 1: live drills how that works. But for all of those
7:40
Speaker 1: guys to be locked into one position, I know we
7:42
Speaker 1: had talked about it during the offseason. I still thought
7:44
Speaker 1: Belton would be a potential cross train guy. Would they
7:47
Speaker 1: move him around and would you see him? And instead
7:52
Speaker 1: it looks like they're saying, no, go dominate this job.
7:54
Speaker 1: Make yourself as confident in that as ever in this
7:58
Speaker 1: and then we'll build off of it. I think that's
8:00
Speaker 1: something they look back on from last year. Maybe is
8:02
Speaker 1: a little bit of a reground.
8:03
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what, he at least doesn't have
8:06
Speaker 3: someone nipping at his heels right out of the gate
8:08
Speaker 3: due to Jagger Burton's injury.
8:10
Speaker 2: They amgers injury. That's very disappointing.
8:13
Speaker 3: Clearly, any rookie missing time first party camp, it's not
8:17
Speaker 3: how you draw it up. But Lafleur did say this
8:19
Speaker 3: morning and there's no long term concern for burdens hamstrings.
8:23
Speaker 3: So hopefully we expect to see him at some point,
8:26
Speaker 3: probably late next week right maybe going into Family Night.
8:29
Speaker 3: But I mean this is you know how it is, Billy,
8:32
Speaker 3: You miss time and all of a sudden you are gone.
8:34
Speaker 3: It is it is a long way back to even
8:36
Speaker 3: getting you know, quality reps that really become few and
8:41
Speaker 3: far between once the regular season starts.
8:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mean once the regular season starts, especially
8:46
Speaker 1: the lack of pads and the physicality that that's not
8:49
Speaker 1: getting turned back up once the season and the live
8:52
Speaker 1: bullets going right, So you got to get that work
8:54
Speaker 1: in that cohesion. And now that's one of the reasons
8:56
Speaker 1: why I like them going to the group that you
8:59
Speaker 1: think that you hope would be the best vibe. Yeah,
9:01
Speaker 1: and then move from there. We're looking at our boy,
9:03
Speaker 1: Jacob Monk. Big camp for him, a big couple of
9:05
Speaker 1: days from Jacob Monk.
9:07
Speaker 3: I love that draft pick. Thought he had a really
9:09
Speaker 3: good summer his rookie year. But man, since then, it
9:12
Speaker 3: has been tough sledding for Jacob until that game in
9:16
Speaker 3: Minnesota last year where he actually looked really good. So yeah,
9:19
Speaker 3: hopefully he picks up from where he left off in
9:21
Speaker 3: that regard, because you're right, this has put up her
9:24
Speaker 3: shut up time, and there's no doubt that there's going
9:27
Speaker 3: to be opportunities along the interior. They need that help,
9:29
Speaker 3: they need that depth, and you can really make a
9:32
Speaker 3: big case here for the next kind of week or
9:34
Speaker 3: so when pads come on on Monday, go through family
9:37
Speaker 3: Night into that first preseason game.
9:39
Speaker 2: This is gonna be important stretch for Monk. No question,
9:41
Speaker 2: do you.
9:41
Speaker 1: Think people have talked enough about the importance of Zach
9:44
Speaker 1: Tom's health.
9:45
Speaker 3: I mean a year ago, not nearly as much when
9:47
Speaker 3: you compare it to what we've the ink, the digital
9:50
Speaker 3: ink that's been spilled about Michah Parsons. And that's no
9:52
Speaker 3: shade to Micah. But like everyone talks about the fact, oh,
9:56
Speaker 3: you didn't win another game after Michael went down, well
9:58
Speaker 3: after Micah and Zach Tom went down, like.
10:01
Speaker 1: Your best trench player on both side.
10:03
Speaker 3: There's a compounding factor there where your two best like
10:06
Speaker 3: front line players on both sides of the ball, missed
10:09
Speaker 3: the final five games. Well, no kidding, Yes, it was
10:12
Speaker 3: a little tougher to win some football games.
10:14
Speaker 2: Zach Tom.
10:15
Speaker 3: You can't overstate his importance and how good he is
10:18
Speaker 3: and what they can do when he's out there that
10:20
Speaker 3: they can't when he's not. As far as set it
10:23
Speaker 3: and forget it against the top edge rushers in the league.
10:27
Speaker 3: Look no further than that Thanksgiving game. He absolutely rages
10:30
Speaker 3: erases Hutchinson right in the time, and they you know,
10:34
Speaker 3: obviously can't do that when his backup's in there.
10:36
Speaker 1: No, and I also think that I've been talking about
10:39
Speaker 1: this and feel pretty strongly about it. Obviously, left tackle
10:44
Speaker 1: blind side is very important, that's been stressed for decades.
10:48
Speaker 1: But the guy that you're looking at, the pressure that
10:50
Speaker 1: you can feel and see and sense right into your
10:53
Speaker 1: lap just as important, pretty important. Stabilize the guy right
10:57
Speaker 1: in front of you feels like one of the biggest
11:00
Speaker 1: keys for it. And Tom's been so good since coming
11:04
Speaker 1: in from college at that just being able to be
11:07
Speaker 1: consistent and a hold in front feels like an important
11:13
Speaker 1: part of their development. Here and your boy Jagger Burton,
11:15
Speaker 1: as we see number fifty two right in front of
11:17
Speaker 1: us here, no helmet. He'll get in hopefully coming up
11:20
Speaker 1: next week. That was your draft crush that you dropped
11:22
Speaker 1: us with number one right before you got off of
11:25
Speaker 1: our draft show this year. We were talking about then
11:28
Speaker 1: Identis Sutton, who was the fourth round pick that day,
11:31
Speaker 1: and I guess I didn't understand I probably should have.
11:34
Speaker 1: I mean, I shouldn't watched more Penn Stea because they're
11:36
Speaker 1: bad last year. But he produced for a team that
11:40
Speaker 1: was bad, Yeah, and produced every time he'd been on
11:43
Speaker 1: the field. He is a full on, get off the
11:45
Speaker 1: bus guy. And while Baron Surrell looks like he's in
11:49
Speaker 1: phenomenal shape, that edge rush competition that we knew was
11:53
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the biggest conversation points has not disappointed.
11:57
Speaker 1: It's been fun to watch here the first couple of years.
11:58
Speaker 1: It has.
11:59
Speaker 3: But you know, before the pads come on it's it's
12:01
Speaker 3: pretty you have to take it all with a grain
12:03
Speaker 3: of salt totally, you know, And you heard of the
12:05
Speaker 3: floor I think it was two days ago when he
12:07
Speaker 3: talked about you know, there's lots you can't do technique
12:10
Speaker 3: wise as far as using the pads to your advantage
12:12
Speaker 3: or whatever, but there is you know, an expectation. You
12:15
Speaker 3: still have to play the position. You still have to
12:17
Speaker 3: set an edge, you have to work that edge and
12:19
Speaker 3: things like that. But man, it is going to be
12:21
Speaker 3: once Monday rolls around, things get a lot more real
12:25
Speaker 3: as it were. Yeah, Currell and dds that is that
12:30
Speaker 3: is going to be fun to watch because I do
12:31
Speaker 3: think there are obviously plenty of snaps available for the
12:36
Speaker 3: guy who exhibits the most in the next two weeks.
12:39
Speaker 1: And we've talked a lot about Brenon Cox and his ability,
12:43
Speaker 1: but just I mean, Lucas van Ness is always going
12:46
Speaker 1: to be a lightning rod until he comes up with
12:49
Speaker 1: a twelve sack year and gets into a contract. And
12:52
Speaker 1: at that point then people will bitch and moan about
12:54
Speaker 1: the contract extension that we say that on.
12:56
Speaker 2: The air, we're allowed on a dumb button.
12:58
Speaker 4: No, we're good, all right, good hunter might not be
13:01
Speaker 4: ready thought that we should be find but you see
13:04
Speaker 4: it so much of like I think, against the run,
13:07
Speaker 4: he can be very very helpful.
13:09
Speaker 1: He was very good at points yesterday last year yesterday
13:11
Speaker 1: he had one play where he strings out the run
13:14
Speaker 1: on the outside and it's perfect technique, perfect form. But
13:17
Speaker 1: I can't get too excited because I need to be
13:19
Speaker 1: able to see it with pads on. It is he
13:23
Speaker 1: gonna be the most yeah butt guy during camp?
13:25
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but it was a good day without yeah.
13:28
Speaker 1: I thought we need to see it in games.
13:29
Speaker 3: All I know is I remember last year very specifically.
13:33
Speaker 3: This image is burned in my brain because it was
13:36
Speaker 3: the morning someone I can't remember who it was, but
13:39
Speaker 3: someone on the beat had written a piece about Lucas
13:41
Speaker 3: van Ness.
13:42
Speaker 2: And people were very excited because he was having a
13:44
Speaker 2: good camp.
13:45
Speaker 3: And then towards the end of the practice they took
13:49
Speaker 3: a deep shot. Malik Willis drops back and they had
13:52
Speaker 3: a tight end to his side. It was some no name,
13:56
Speaker 3: undrafted backup tight end who absolutely locked him up up.
14:00
Speaker 2: And it's just you can't that.
14:02
Speaker 1: You can't have that, can't have it.
14:05
Speaker 3: The the no name backup tight end cannot be locking down.
14:10
Speaker 2: Can't happen.
14:11
Speaker 3: So until that becomes a distant memory and the regular
14:15
Speaker 3: site is him destroying.
14:17
Speaker 2: You don't want to put a tight end on me.
14:19
Speaker 3: No, you want to make defensive coordinators think twice about
14:21
Speaker 3: putting a tight end on you. But if I can
14:24
Speaker 3: just set it and forget it with a tight end
14:26
Speaker 3: to eliminate one of my supposed frontline edge rushers, you
14:29
Speaker 3: got problems.
14:30
Speaker 2: You got problems in Green Bay.
14:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then it's a big Then it's a big
14:33
Speaker 1: miss as to what you got going on next year
14:34
Speaker 1: for for for money that that that's allocated. I just
14:37
Speaker 1: I think he's prime to have a good run, But
14:41
Speaker 1: I don't know what will and proof will be in
14:44
Speaker 1: the putting, in the in the games, whatever will be
14:46
Speaker 1: good enough. Good enough is a very subjective term, Aaron.
14:49
Speaker 3: No, Here's here's where I this goes back to what
14:52
Speaker 3: we were talking about earlier, as far as the offense
14:54
Speaker 3: put up points, get in the second half, have a lead,
14:57
Speaker 3: and let these guys pin their years back and not
14:59
Speaker 3: have to worry about a full compliment On the playbook side.
15:02
Speaker 3: For the offense, I think can be really effective. But
15:07
Speaker 3: you start, you know, having Ben Johnson who has an
15:10
Speaker 3: entire kind of menu in front of him about what
15:13
Speaker 3: he can call.
15:14
Speaker 1: Then you're gonna have issues. Makes it a different story.
15:16
Speaker 1: You mentioned that man down south. We're gonna talk a
15:19
Speaker 1: little bit about the division. We're gonna talk about all
15:21
Speaker 1: the different teams in the NFC North and the practices
15:23
Speaker 1: that are going on and the camp battles that apparently
15:26
Speaker 1: are up to nothing. To the former quarterback of the
15:28
Speaker 1: Michigan Wolverines, what an hell for the Vikings. We got
15:32
Speaker 1: a lot more time to be able to discuss that
15:34
Speaker 1: one and everything transpiring in front of us here on
15:37
Speaker 1: Ray and Inchiefield. Right dead center in front of us
15:39
Speaker 1: is Tucker Craft catching a football with a helmet on,
15:41
Speaker 1: and that is a beautiful site. That is the lead
15:44
Speaker 1: story here today, Tucker Craft back at practice for the
15:47
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, and Naggs made me a loser. If
15:52
Speaker 1: they would have been booking this bet at the presenting
15:54
Speaker 1: sponsor of our show here Training Camp Live, the Potawatami
15:57
Speaker 1: sportsbook bet above the rest, I would have lost. So
16:00
Speaker 1: appreciate Howawatomy sports Book and not putting up the prop
16:03
Speaker 1: bet of will Tucker Craft be the highest paid tight
16:05
Speaker 1: end in football by the time he touches the practice field.
16:08
Speaker 1: I thought he would. I thought the contract was going
16:11
Speaker 1: to be locked in. Doesn't appear to be the case.
16:13
Speaker 3: I will say it is interesting that timing and how
16:16
Speaker 3: that has seemingly been a regular occurrence with some of
16:20
Speaker 3: these bigger names, like remember Jordan Love and the kind
16:22
Speaker 3: of time we had to wait while he was sitting
16:24
Speaker 3: around in street clothes.
16:26
Speaker 1: One of the Stranger training bizarre, right, just bizarre.
16:30
Speaker 3: When you have all off season to get it done.
16:33
Speaker 3: And Brian Legit said point blank like, well, we've been
16:37
Speaker 3: working up to the Tucker deal. Wouldn't the Tucker deal
16:40
Speaker 3: be the first deal you get done. I'm I'm real
16:43
Speaker 3: confused on this one.
16:44
Speaker 1: If it's the highest priced one, get that done and
16:47
Speaker 1: then worked from there.
16:48
Speaker 2: That's how I would do it. But yes, I'm no.
16:50
Speaker 1: Russ Ball, No, but you know what you are. You
16:53
Speaker 1: are a parent and you are a father, and at
16:55
Speaker 1: one point you probably told you your young daughters, why
16:57
Speaker 1: don't you take out the biggest assignment on the check
16:59
Speaker 1: lit then do all the other homework because that's what
17:02
Speaker 1: I did. I always did. The toughest one is.
17:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, sitting there like some creature about to pounce on you.
17:08
Speaker 3: It's over, it's done, You've slayed the dragon.
17:09
Speaker 1: And then all the rest of it you can just
17:10
Speaker 1: do in class just before it was due.
17:12
Speaker 2: Yeah.
17:12
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven seven nine four three is the nicolay
17:15
Speaker 1: Lott com talking text line. Way to get in touch

17:34
Speaker 1: That's the right statement. That's the right statement. You'll understand
17:37
Speaker 1: a lot more in like the fifth segments. It does.
17:39
Speaker 1: If in the middle of our two that we've had
17:41
Speaker 1: those going, then it'll be rather evident.
17:44

Speaker 1: it's free, it's me and give me three and and
18:10
Speaker 1: for this to still be a free event when I'm
18:13
Speaker 1: seeing multiple NFL teams put out links to buying tickets, right,
18:18
Speaker 1: reserving tickets. They're free, but we have to reserve them
18:21
Speaker 1: and maybe pay a little servicing fee.
18:23
Speaker 2: Yeah.
18:23
Speaker 1: Oh, that's something that I don't know you're ever going
18:27
Speaker 1: that that's gonna change, and it's one of the greatest
18:29
Speaker 1: parts of the fan experience here at training.
18:31
Speaker 3: I will also say though that we'll talk about this
18:33
Speaker 3: later in the segment, because I know people want to
18:35
Speaker 3: talk ball and they're gonna start doing team stuff here
18:37
Speaker 3: in a minute. But the protect our plays movement from
18:41
Speaker 3: the Green Bay Packers and now extending the shooting periods
18:46
Speaker 3: to this side of the field.
18:47
Speaker 1: To the fans.
18:50
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I thought the fans own the team.
18:52
Speaker 1: If I own the thing, I can take whatever photo
18:55
Speaker 1: I want. Well, that's fair, that's fair. Maybe I can
18:57
Speaker 1: fire it up on pack tc clips online, and anybody
19:00
Speaker 1: can fire that thing up whoever's running that account. Bravo,
19:03
Speaker 1: my friend, bravo, my friend, thank you, thank you. And
19:06
Speaker 1: also picking good highlights yes right, yeah, not like the
19:12
Speaker 1: not like what the admin for the Texans stay to
19:14
Speaker 1: see j Stroud.
19:15
Speaker 2: Oh insane, was that.
19:16
Speaker 1: That's a tough look, Aaron. I mean, I'm gonna be
19:18
Speaker 1: honest with You're supposed to be supporting the club, supposed
19:21
Speaker 1: to help, supposed to be helping, like Evan Siegel does
19:24
Speaker 1: that that shot that shot Evan has of Matthew Golden
19:26
Speaker 1: walk in and after practice, sublime. It's one of the
19:29
Speaker 1: most beautiful things, uh, that you're going to see. All right,
19:32
Speaker 1: So we are gonna take uh a quick time out. Actually,
19:35
Speaker 1: you know what, let's hang out here for right now
19:37
Speaker 1: because they're about to go into a team period. Uh
19:39
Speaker 1: and and we're gonna get some good stuff right in
19:41
Speaker 1: front of us here to be able to discuss. Actually,
19:44
Speaker 1: you know, check that. We gotta take a quick time out.
19:45
Speaker 1: We gotta take a quick time out. We'll be back
19:47
Speaker 1: and we'll have a lot of reaction to what we see.
19:49
Speaker 1: Welcome back live from Rie Nichki Field on Billy Schmid,
19:52
Speaker 1: alongside the voice of Packers fans worldwide, Aaron Nagler of
19:57
Speaker 1: Che's Head TV, and from my man Wayne Larvy here
20:00
Speaker 1: ones on the field back here in the middle of
20:03
Speaker 1: their first team portion, nags a couple of beautiful and
20:07
Speaker 1: great timing routes on the first team period, and one
20:12
Speaker 1: of the touchdown plays from the playoff game was rather successful.
20:16
Speaker 1: In that first run with the ones.
20:17
Speaker 2: You gotta love that fake to the left boot quick
20:20
Speaker 2: to the right.
20:21
Speaker 3: There's a screaming open Christian Watson coming across the formation
20:25
Speaker 3: for an easy gain up the right sideline.
20:27
Speaker 2: We're back, baby.
20:28
Speaker 1: Now have your eyes seen the same thing that I
20:32
Speaker 1: have of a lot of under center play action looks
20:36
Speaker 1: so far in the first three.
20:36
Speaker 3: Day, I've been doing a ton of it right, no
20:38
Speaker 3: question about it. Although I will say the very first
20:40
Speaker 3: play and team today, you saw Jordan Love play action
20:44
Speaker 3: from under center. It turns around and a blitzing Keishawn
20:49
Speaker 3: Nixon is right in his face. Yeah, you had to
20:51
Speaker 3: throw it away into the right flat love gain and
20:54
Speaker 3: utilizing the cat blitz.
20:56
Speaker 1: Early and often right first play, and also great work
20:59
Speaker 1: by key Sean Nixon allowing him to know I'm in
21:01
Speaker 1: the kitchen, but I'm gonna stay off the red jersey
21:03
Speaker 1: in a great leaping grab across the middle by Matthew Golden.
21:07
Speaker 1: Last year, Nags, every day we tried to quell people's excitement,
21:11
Speaker 1: but also gas it all up with everything Matthew Golden did.
21:16
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say it hasn't been any different
21:18
Speaker 1: so far.
21:18
Speaker 3: Nope, it's it looks amazing. He had a great day yesterday,
21:21
Speaker 3: just had an amazing sky catch right now here in
21:25
Speaker 3: front of us. I can't wait to see it all
21:27
Speaker 3: come to fruition.
21:27
Speaker 2: In week fifteen, I think.
21:29
Speaker 1: It was that's fair a slow, a slow bill Billy.
21:33
Speaker 3: So if I have to wait for the Matthew Golden
21:35
Speaker 3: touchdown longer than a month, I am going to lose
21:38
Speaker 3: my mind.
21:39
Speaker 1: The only people that were happier about that run than
21:41
Speaker 1: Bears fans were the Potawatami sportsbook folks that help us
21:45
Speaker 1: here on this show, because the amount of anytime Matthew
21:47
Speaker 1: Golden touchdowns that they booked last year in the first
21:50
Speaker 1: seventeen weeks of the year were outrageous, mostly from me
21:54
Speaker 1: believing that it was finally going to happen, and then
21:57
Speaker 1: it does in the playoff game, the going back and
22:01
Speaker 1: watching more of the twenty twenty five season than I
22:03
Speaker 1: care to admit. Early on, though, there were so many
22:09
Speaker 1: third and fourth I think of the fourth and eight
22:11
Speaker 1: in the play in the overtime against Dallas where you
22:14
Speaker 1: were looking towards zero. In the Cincinnati game, they don't
22:17
Speaker 1: win that game late and put it away without a
22:20
Speaker 1: couple of grabs from Matthew Golden. At least that early
22:23
Speaker 1: trust was there where I think they can try to
22:25
Speaker 1: grab it quickly.
22:25
Speaker 3: Out and then I mean literally the season on the line,
22:30
Speaker 3: marching in Chicago to try to take the lead, which
22:32
Speaker 3: we all know they didn't end up doing. But fourth
22:35
Speaker 3: and seven, who does he throw to on an out round? Yep,
22:38
Speaker 3: Matthew gold Golden, like he just there's zero doubt that
22:41
Speaker 3: Jordan Love trusts the kid right. Just need to get
22:44
Speaker 3: him involved in the offense early and often this year.
22:47
Speaker 1: A couple other good plays from this first period of
22:50
Speaker 1: team right now where he got Kyron Drones at quarterback.
22:53
Speaker 1: Who you're gonna watch a lot of drones strike, baby,
22:56
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of drones strikes during training camp.
22:59
Speaker 1: Wayne is already loosening up that club in the bag
23:02
Speaker 1: to be able to call a couple of hopefully drones touchdowns.
23:05
Speaker 1: But he had a ball or it was Tyrod Taylor
23:08
Speaker 1: who threw it to Jane Michael Startoman, who also eighty seven.
23:11
Speaker 1: Probably gonna be prominently featured during the preseason games. Good
23:14
Speaker 1: to bounce back after a tough drop that he had yesterday.
23:17
Speaker 1: Wayne and I are both eyeing him up. He looks
23:20
Speaker 1: the part, no doubt about it. That's a tough receiver
23:22
Speaker 1: room to try to crack if you're four guys from
23:24
Speaker 1: maybe one spot.
23:25
Speaker 3: When he got nay or out here with that touchdown
23:28
Speaker 3: catch he head on day one, it's gonna be it's
23:30
Speaker 3: gonna be a battle, right. Oh, we got a fumbled snap.
23:33
Speaker 3: We got a fumbled snap, Billy.
23:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, we also got a false start.
23:36
Speaker 2: Get some push ups going, let's do this.
23:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a false start on the right tackle.
23:40
Speaker 1: Carol Pioneer fans remember that quite a bit from from
23:43
Speaker 1: my time there. Now. Luckily it's not seventy eight we're
23:46
Speaker 1: reading off seventy nine or Travis Klark.
23:48
Speaker 3: We're deep in the bag right now. Some lots of backups,
23:50
Speaker 3: lots of depth going this. I believe the threes out
23:53
Speaker 3: there right now, but it's still unacceptable no matter who
23:55
Speaker 3: it is.
23:55
Speaker 1: Billy one hundred percent now in this threes again, real
23:59
Speaker 1: deep weeds. But you're hanging out with us on training
24:01
Speaker 1: camp live, so we're gonna fire this one out. John
24:03
Speaker 1: Williams was a seventh round pick a year ago. He
24:06
Speaker 1: was kind of their red shirt cates with the back,
24:10
Speaker 1: had no reps whatsoever. This year, they have moved him
24:13
Speaker 1: all around. That time he's lining up at center, he
24:17
Speaker 1: was lining up a guard earlier on yesterday. I saw
24:19
Speaker 1: him with a couple of tackle looks a fascinating body
24:22
Speaker 1: type because he definitely looks the part of an NFL
24:24
Speaker 1: offensive lineman.
24:24
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more.
24:25
Speaker 3: I'm fascinated to watch him once the pads come on,
24:28
Speaker 3: because you're right. Last year absolute red shirt year. I
24:31
Speaker 3: think he maybe practiced like a handful of times once
24:34
Speaker 3: they did bring him on late in the season, and
24:36
Speaker 3: then they promptly put him on IR So we haven't
24:39
Speaker 3: really any idea what this kid is going to look
24:42
Speaker 3: like against NFL competition.
24:44
Speaker 1: Now, as we stay into a team portion, looks like
24:46
Speaker 1: a good move the ball period with the twos and
24:49
Speaker 1: threes as the ones go off of the field onto
24:52
Speaker 1: the sideline. Matt mentioned trying to well and calm down
24:56
Speaker 1: some of the competition periods. What was your take on that.
24:59
Speaker 1: Under stand the statement ten guys on the pup to
25:02
Speaker 1: Star camps Outragel.
25:03
Speaker 3: Well it's funny too, because I think they did the
25:05
Speaker 3: first day, but yesterday it felt like they were kind
25:07
Speaker 3: of getting after it a little bit.
25:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, hundred percent. They also wrapped up day one with
25:10
Speaker 1: goal line.
25:10
Speaker 2: Oh right.
25:11
Speaker 1: My years in football, that's competition like that that a
25:14
Speaker 1: lot of times turns into a pretty good competition one
25:17
Speaker 1: to close. But I understand so much of it is
25:20
Speaker 1: all we have to have one competition period of day.
25:23
Speaker 1: I've always said, if that's the only time you're competing,
25:25
Speaker 1: then the practice probably wasn't all that good.
25:26
Speaker 2: And all that great. Although there's the other flip side
25:29
Speaker 2: of that.
25:29
Speaker 3: I mean, there are a lot of trud and tried
25:31
Speaker 3: methods throughout the years when it comes to what a
25:34
Speaker 3: practice is supposed to look like. But we're in a
25:36
Speaker 3: new age, you know. I mean they are in and
25:37
Speaker 3: out of Rainichkie Field in an hour and forty minutes, right,
25:41
Speaker 3: I Mean, that's incredible to think about when you're remembering,
25:44
Speaker 3: you know, coming in here having a two hour padded
25:47
Speaker 3: practice and then a break in the middle of the
25:48
Speaker 3: day where you get some lunch, maybe look at the film,
25:50
Speaker 3: and then you're back out here later that afternoon for
25:53
Speaker 3: another padded practice like that obviously doesn't happen anymore. So
25:57
Speaker 3: the amount of work that they do feel a little
26:01
Speaker 3: like they're underserving, but they're working smarter, not harder, and
26:05
Speaker 3: a lot of that work is getting done in the classroom.
26:07
Speaker 1: I long would enjoy the conversations that I'd have with
26:11
Speaker 1: Gary Ellerson and Leroy Butler going back and forth with that.
26:13
Speaker 1: Because Gary played for fourth Greg. It's a little different.
26:17
Speaker 1: Could you imagine when Forrest Greg would be sitting here
26:19
Speaker 1: and thinking watching this practice like come back because they
26:22
Speaker 1: would run three a days, yeah, and then into the
26:26
Speaker 1: nineties like, wait, this is all you guys are doing
26:28
Speaker 1: for camp? And then Roy would walk back and say,
26:30
Speaker 1: this is all they're doing for camp. It's continued to shrink,
26:33
Speaker 1: but it's difficult to think of how ready you are
26:36
Speaker 1: for the season without you know, real reps, big time reps,
26:40
Speaker 1: game reps. I know they're gonna have the one joint
26:42
Speaker 1: practice against Arizona, which is gonna be one of the
26:44
Speaker 1: better storyline joint practices of all time, but Nags, it's
26:48
Speaker 1: a tough balancing act. I know Zach Tom mentioned it.
26:51
Speaker 1: I want to play a little bit of preseason to
26:52
Speaker 1: get some experience under my belt, and I think they
26:56
Speaker 1: kind of need to, but it doesn't make a whole
26:58
Speaker 1: lot of sense to play in Pittsburg because you're still
26:59
Speaker 1: a month away from a regular season game.
27:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there's little doubt that that is going
27:04
Speaker 3: to be a conversation. And I love that Zach just
27:06
Speaker 3: put that out there during mini camp, right, Like, I
27:09
Speaker 3: really want to play in the preseason, especially from a
27:14
Speaker 3: leadership standpoint, Like if Zach Tom wants to play in preseason,
27:17
Speaker 3: if you're Anthony Belton, you probably think, well, I want
27:20
Speaker 3: to play.
27:20
Speaker 1: Better be out there.
27:21
Speaker 3: I better be out there, especially just working on timing,
27:24
Speaker 3: working on cohesion. They're gonna need every ounce of that
27:27
Speaker 3: at the start of the season. So I love that
27:30
Speaker 3: Zach said it. We'll see, like you said, it's gonna
27:32
Speaker 3: be a conversation. We'll see how much Matt allows them
27:36
Speaker 3: to do.
27:37
Speaker 1: Now, the first one of the team periods, and one
27:40
Speaker 1: of the ends of that first team period ended with
27:43
Speaker 1: Jonathan Ford getting some good push up the middle. As
27:45
Speaker 1: Wes Hodkwitzpackers dot Com highlights in here as well, that
27:49
Speaker 1: battle on the interior defensive tackle is it's pretty fascinating. Now,
27:53
Speaker 1: Ford sixty four this year a little different than first
27:56
Speaker 1: tours of duty. But they're gonna need one of either
28:00
Speaker 1: him or an a Zier stack House to be the
28:02
Speaker 1: true nose. Right like that feels like a job that's
28:04
Speaker 1: rather up for grabs.
28:05
Speaker 2: Well, very much so.
28:06
Speaker 3: And look that they're gonna be counting on every one
28:09
Speaker 3: of those guys to take a step forward when you're
28:11
Speaker 3: talking about whether it is you know, the big guys
28:15
Speaker 3: like Brince, I'm sorry with the Stackhouse forward whoever. But
28:18
Speaker 3: they're also going to run some of the non traditional
28:22
Speaker 3: body types that nose. That's you know, that's what they've
28:24
Speaker 3: done in the past. I know there's a new defensive coordinator,
28:27
Speaker 3: but they're gonna do that with McClellan. They're gonna let
28:30
Speaker 3: all these quote unquote pass rushing type defensive tackles they're
28:34
Speaker 3: gonna get into the mix at nose as well.
28:35
Speaker 1: All right, now, this is gonna be the nerdy part
28:38
Speaker 1: of football. Yes, sir, the Packers just had a false start.
28:41
Speaker 1: They we're a procedural problem. Now, there is a young
28:44
Speaker 1: man who's standing right next to Matt Lafleur. I apologize
28:47
Speaker 1: that I don't have his name off the top of
28:48
Speaker 1: my hand. He is spotting the football right, he is
28:51
Speaker 1: running to deep spot pointing it down, making sure we
28:54
Speaker 1: know where we're going. Matt Lafleur Sauld give be that
28:57
Speaker 1: thing kind of thing. I'm gonna spot it on this one. Yeah,
29:00
Speaker 1: walked it five yards back. I can only imagine the.
29:02
Speaker 2: Doing it again.
29:02
Speaker 1: And he's doing it again as he's having a quick
29:05
Speaker 1: statement there in the middle. Might not be going as
29:07
Speaker 1: well as you want on the offensive period.
29:09
Speaker 3: When coach is spotting the ball, you know you're you're
29:13
Speaker 3: having a moment on offense.
29:15
Speaker 2: He's not. He's not pleased, lad, No.
29:17
Speaker 1: That would indicate a little bit of frustration with how
29:20
Speaker 1: how this period rolls. But you got a really young
29:22
Speaker 1: group here on defense.
29:24
Speaker 3: Dude, speaking of young group, look at this battle going
29:26
Speaker 3: on over here right on this sideline between Cisa and Nior.
29:29
Speaker 3: This has been worth the price of admission, Like say,
29:33
Speaker 3: has been locking him up.
29:34
Speaker 1: What have you noticed from him first couple of days,
29:36
Speaker 1: Because it seemed like he was phenomenal day one and
29:39
Speaker 1: and uh, then all of a sudden, there was another
29:41
Speaker 1: guy that came out here after day one. Uh, with
29:44
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hamstring injury or contract itis,
29:47
Speaker 1: but quickly was back. It seemed like Brandon Cisa was
29:50
Speaker 1: one of the talks of the town after his.
29:51
Speaker 3: First all I can assume, Oh, I was wondering if
29:55
Speaker 3: we had another fall start. But it's just a just
29:57
Speaker 3: a dirty dirting the football. Yes, he say that tape
30:01
Speaker 3: must have been great on day one because it's sure
30:03
Speaker 3: healed Nixon's hamstring over quickly.
30:05
Speaker 1: Wasn't it interesting how that happened?
30:07
Speaker 3: One night Nixon was like, Okay, I'm back out there, which,
30:09
Speaker 3: by the way, can we just address that real quick?
30:12
Speaker 2: How he's funny?
30:13
Speaker 3: Is it to hear the head coach talk about, well
30:15
Speaker 3: he felt something, he felt a tweak, felt something, his
30:17
Speaker 3: hamsterring hamsterings happening up amsring, amsterring hamstering, right, And then
30:20
Speaker 3: the next day, not only is he not eased back
30:23
Speaker 3: into action as every single player who's ever had a
30:26
Speaker 3: hamstring injury in the history of the Packers has been,
30:29
Speaker 3: but he's out there, full go in.
30:32
Speaker 1: Team, Yeah, full go, first guy on the field. I mean, yeah,
30:37
Speaker 1: it wasn't It wasn't a great job maybe hiding that
30:40
Speaker 1: or camouflaging it. But I do also I think it's
30:43
Speaker 1: uh because the venom's gonna be out when when numbers
30:46
Speaker 1: and contracts are gonna be what we want to talk about.
30:49
Speaker 2: Yea and naggs.
30:50
Speaker 1: I see it from both sides, I really do. One
30:54
Speaker 1: side has all the leverage that the team and now like.
30:58
Speaker 1: But if I'm in, if I'm giving Kesha Nixon the advice,
31:01
Speaker 1: if on his agent side, people would say, well, what's
31:03
Speaker 1: some bad advice.
31:04
Speaker 2: No it's not, No, it's not, No, it's not.
31:05
Speaker 1: He's thirty years old going into a year, his final
31:08
Speaker 1: year of a contract and looking.
31:09
Speaker 2: For some security.
31:10
Speaker 1: As we've got a beautiful shot to Jayden.
31:12
Speaker 3: Rea, gorgeous, gorgeous throw from Jordan Londa Love up the
31:16
Speaker 3: left sideline. They got a two minute drill going on here,
31:19
Speaker 3: beautifully placed behind the corner in front of the safety and.
31:22
Speaker 1: Two minute drill a wheel route out of the slot.
31:24
Speaker 1: It was gorgeous, and they're putting one minute on the
31:27
Speaker 1: clock seeing how quickly you can get down the field.
31:29
Speaker 1: Now we get into more of the ones, and this
31:32
Speaker 1: includes this includes Jacob mounk Over at left guard in
31:35
Speaker 1: for Aaron Banks. They're in the team portion, Darian Canard
31:38
Speaker 1: playing right tackle as Banks and Tom Ease their way
31:41
Speaker 1: back in No Tucker Craft into this portion. But Josh,
31:45
Speaker 1: right now.
31:46
Speaker 3: You mean they're easing them back into teamwork, They're not
31:49
Speaker 3: back in there.
31:49
Speaker 2: It is how it seems like it's funny that works. Interesting,
31:52
Speaker 2: seems like that's how it worked.
31:54
Speaker 1: Beautiful strike across the middle to Matthew Golden as well
31:57
Speaker 1: right inside of the coverage. Just you see Golden speed
32:02
Speaker 1: across the middle. And obviously deep routes are what you
32:05
Speaker 1: think of when you think of taking the top off
32:07
Speaker 1: the defense. But all three of these guys that are
32:10
Speaker 1: on the field in the trips right now of Watson,
32:13
Speaker 1: Golden and Reed can just run away from people across
32:17
Speaker 1: the field, can't They broken? Break up there by Keishaan Nixon.
32:21
Speaker 2: It's perfectly places ball. How good does Jordan Love? Look?
32:24
Speaker 3: My gosh, through these first three days, he has zipped
32:26
Speaker 3: the ball with authority and he has put it exactly
32:29
Speaker 3: where it needs to be ninety nine percent of the time.
32:32
Speaker 3: It is impressive stuff from the Green Bay Packers quarterback
32:35
Speaker 3: here at Packers' training camp. And look, we've talked about
32:39
Speaker 3: it a little bit on the podcast, but it would
32:41
Speaker 3: be nice to get through a summer where Jordan Love
32:43
Speaker 3: is right his reign and ready to go week one
32:45
Speaker 3: without Yeah, some kind of hitting the helmet or a
32:48
Speaker 3: little soft tissue injury, Like just can we just have
32:52
Speaker 3: Jordan Love ready to go height of his powers week
32:55
Speaker 3: one would be a welcome development.
32:57
Speaker 1: It's a really good point. I honestly forgot about the
32:59
Speaker 1: hitting the helmet part, and it just like, I mean,
33:02
Speaker 1: that ball was perfectly placed on the outside. Now it's
33:04
Speaker 1: really really good coverage, like I said by Nixon against Watson,
33:08
Speaker 1: but like you've seen that to me one on one,
33:11
Speaker 1: my guy, I'm gonna trust that I can put it
33:13
Speaker 1: where he needs to go. Yeah, and it feels like
33:15
Speaker 1: the next spot in his game, his command of everything
33:20
Speaker 1: and leadership of not only the offense, but it felt
33:23
Speaker 1: like the whole team. It's rather understated, yes, but it
33:26
Speaker 1: does seem like it's taking another step so far this year.
33:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question, It's like it emanates right, and you
33:33
Speaker 3: can tell that the guys are completely bought in. That's
33:36
Speaker 3: what you know again, It's all about can we get
33:39
Speaker 3: to the start of the season with this group intact?
33:41
Speaker 3: Because if they if they do, and if they can,
33:43
Speaker 3: they are going to move the ball and they are
33:45
Speaker 3: going to score points by the boatload like it is,
33:50
Speaker 3: it is going to be fun to watch.
33:52
Speaker 1: What do you see when as that ball hits the uh,
33:55
Speaker 1: chest of Skymore was not ready for that to travel
33:58
Speaker 1: as fast as it did.
34:00
Speaker 2: Ball.
34:00
Speaker 1: That ball was buzzed in there in between Evan Williams
34:04
Speaker 1: right and the numbers and that that's the part that
34:07
Speaker 1: the risky throws of. I know I can fit the
34:09
Speaker 1: ball through. That kind of confidence has really been evident
34:12
Speaker 1: with Jordan.
34:13
Speaker 3: Solbe absolutely man. There ain't nothing he's scared of, that
34:16
Speaker 3: is for sure.
34:17
Speaker 1: So you uh, before we started here on Training Camp
34:20
Speaker 1: Live presented by the Podawatamy Sports Book on Fox Sports
34:22
Speaker 1: Radio Wisconsin and the Chiefs had Cheese had TV YouTube
34:26
Speaker 1: pages as well. Was Bobby Babbage.
34:29
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and.
34:30
Speaker 1: His excitement here on the sideline. First off, elite hat
34:33
Speaker 1: choice that's probably available in the Packers Pro shop. He's
34:36
Speaker 1: got the nine to two O hat on which I
34:39
Speaker 1: like to see and supporting himself and the hyping up
34:44
Speaker 1: of Keishawn Nixon. It goes dead silent when that ball
34:47
Speaker 1: hits the ground because everybody wants to see touchdowns at
34:49
Speaker 1: training camp.
34:50
Speaker 2: Uh.
34:51
Speaker 1: He has been celebrating more plays than any player onto
34:54
Speaker 1: the field.
34:55
Speaker 3: I like that he's a demonstrative guy that three days in.
34:58
Speaker 3: He is my favorite new addition to coaching staff.
35:01
Speaker 2: He what was great.
35:02
Speaker 3: They were doing a tackling drill yesterday and he was
35:04
Speaker 3: getting after everybody, but regardless undrafted, free agent, long term vet,
35:10
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. He was coaching up everybody and and
35:15
Speaker 3: fine tackling points like real minutia things. It's the kind
35:19
Speaker 3: of stuff you want, and if you're a player, you
35:21
Speaker 3: should want that, right, A guy who's gonna get on
35:23
Speaker 3: you and demand perfection because you know, as Vince said,
35:27
Speaker 3: you're not going to attain it.
35:28
Speaker 2: You can catch excellence on the way.
35:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, on the way.
35:30
Speaker 3: And that's the kind of coach I want to see
35:32
Speaker 3: on the defensive side of the ball in Green Bay.
35:34
Speaker 1: He also has gone through like every level of coaching
35:37
Speaker 1: right play. Yeah, played at NDSU, he was a Bison,
35:40
Speaker 1: and then uh was in the FC ranks, FCS ranks
35:44
Speaker 1: and into the MAC with Ken State and Eastern Illinoian Company.
35:47
Speaker 1: But gets into the NFL and has just continued to grow.
35:51
Speaker 1: It's I thought it was kind of an undervalued part
35:54
Speaker 1: of the offseason was getting him and Gan and obviously
35:57
Speaker 1: he leaves in Buffalo when when mcdermot's fired and Jim
36:01
Speaker 1: Leonard goes and takes over that defensive room. But feels
36:05
Speaker 1: like they end up getting two coordinators that could both
36:08
Speaker 1: add a little something different to the mix.
36:11
Speaker 3: Just knowing defensive football as well as they do and
36:14
Speaker 3: having been in charge of a defense in NFL programs,
36:18
Speaker 3: that's a wealth of knowledge that you would hope the
36:20
Speaker 3: players kind of soak up right that no one's thinking, well,
36:24
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get my next gig. You know, it's
36:27
Speaker 3: about imparting that wisdom and knowing the intricacies of what
36:30
Speaker 3: gain and is looking for day in and day out.
36:33
Speaker 3: Hopefully that again at least kind of manifests itself with
36:39
Speaker 3: these players who are learning a new scheme right first time.
36:43
Speaker 3: For a lot of these guys in this type of scheme,
36:46
Speaker 3: the coaches are going to make a big difference in
36:47
Speaker 3: that regard.
36:48
Speaker 1: As we have our eyes here on the number three
36:52
Speaker 1: is going through. They're two men a drill and practice
36:55
Speaker 1: number three of training camp Live Aaron Nagler alongside myself,
36:58
Speaker 1: Bill Schmid. We're seeing a couple of guys who have
37:01
Speaker 1: made names. Not one of these good matchups here on
37:03
Speaker 1: the outside. Day number one, Marlon Jones maybe had the
37:07
Speaker 1: best play of the day, which capped off the day
37:09
Speaker 1: with like a ninety eight yard pick six. And then
37:11
Speaker 1: j Michael Sturvant, who is going mono a mono onan him.
37:14
Speaker 2: He's had a beautiful die had a day so far.
37:17
Speaker 2: They already had three nice catches.
37:19
Speaker 1: And Naggs is there a spot there? Like sky Moore,
37:22
Speaker 1: we just talked about running with the ones. I think
37:24
Speaker 1: his offensive acumen might be a little understated. Man, I
37:28
Speaker 1: do think he's gonna be potentially tried out in that
37:31
Speaker 1: spot well here, But I think Saveon Williams has had
37:33
Speaker 1: a nice little start too.
37:34
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
37:35
Speaker 3: I will say though, in Moore's kind of column, so
37:38
Speaker 3: to speak, something that happened yesterday. They were sending a
37:41
Speaker 3: ton of different pressure looks an tons of different pressure,
37:44
Speaker 3: and there was a play where Zaiir Franklin busts through
37:47
Speaker 3: the a gap, you know, untouched, and Jordan Love had
37:51
Speaker 3: kind of was aware that that was a possibility prior
37:54
Speaker 3: to this snap and he zips went out to his
37:56
Speaker 3: left side to sky Moore.
37:58
Speaker 2: And it's a minimal game.
38:00
Speaker 3: But obviously you avoid a loss, you you'll keep going
38:03
Speaker 3: a quarterback doesn't get hit, et cetera. That's really really
38:07
Speaker 3: encouraging that sky Moore knew what the check was, where
38:10
Speaker 3: to be and like there was no hiccup in the
38:13
Speaker 3: operation when the blitz got was about to get home.
38:16
Speaker 2: The quarterback knew where to go with the ball and
38:18
Speaker 2: the guy was there.
38:19
Speaker 3: Like that, that's a good first step for sky Moore
38:21
Speaker 3: on the offensive side.
38:22
Speaker 1: Who again, I mean his biggest play in the NFL
38:24
Speaker 1: was running the wrong route and scoring a touchdown in
38:26
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Yeah, I mean, right.
38:28
Speaker 2: Like Randall Cobbs first game.
38:31
Speaker 1: Slowly getting better than that, slowly getting better than.
38:34
Speaker 2: Knowing where you're supposed to be. But I do it.
38:36
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna like he's on the team, right
38:38
Speaker 1: Like as you start looking at the fifty three, you would.
38:41
Speaker 3: Think you think he's on the team. You thought about that,
38:43
Speaker 3: We thought that with Hardman last year. You never know,
38:46
Speaker 3: fair point, never know.
38:47
Speaker 1: As long as the punts don't go to say, don't
38:49
Speaker 1: drop the punts.
38:50
Speaker 2: That would be my advice to one mister Moore.
38:53
Speaker 1: It's pretty dan, that's pretty dang good advice that you
38:56
Speaker 1: get here on Training Camp Live when Aaron Nagler is
38:58
Speaker 1: sitting with myself. Bill, Alright, we're going a bit quick
39:00
Speaker 1: time out see the rest of this two minute and
39:03
Speaker 1: we'll be back with more of practice number three live
39:06
Speaker 1: from Raynichki Field, the return of Tucker Kraft, the debut
39:09
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty sixth season on Fox Sports Radio
39:12
Speaker 1: Wisconsin's Training Camp Live of Aaron Nagler. And it's a
39:15
Speaker 1: beautiful Friday in the good Land. The sun is away,
39:19
Speaker 1: but the boys are playing right here on ray Nichki Field.
39:22
Speaker 1: And we got more of Training Camp Live presented by
39:24
Speaker 1: the Potawatami Sports Book coming up right after this. Thanks
39:26
Speaker 1: for spending your Friday lunch break with us. It's Training
39:29
Speaker 1: Camp Live on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin ten seventy am
39:33
Speaker 1: and Madison nine to twenty am in Milwaukee, Streaming live
39:36
Speaker 1: worldwide on YouTube, Facebook and x on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin,
39:42
Speaker 1: most importantly on She's Head TV's YouTube page. With the
39:45
Speaker 1: leader of G's Haad TV, Aaron Nagler by my side
39:48
Speaker 1: in for the voice of the Green Bay Packers, we
39:51
Speaker 1: are enjoying the remaining portion of our number one. We
39:55
Speaker 1: just finished some two minute drills, so now we get
39:57
Speaker 1: into some individual drills and some special team stuff nags.
40:01
Speaker 1: The special teams drill is not nearly as exciting and
40:04
Speaker 1: as viewed with significance as they were a couple of
40:07
Speaker 1: years ago when the new kickoff rule came in. It
40:10
Speaker 1: felt like that year we talked more special teams drill
40:14
Speaker 1: work than I ever thought I would at a training camp.
40:17
Speaker 1: Now it's just baked in, even though the Packers have
40:21
Speaker 1: more change on the special teams side. When new coordinator
40:24
Speaker 1: came Acord and his cleats at.
40:26
Speaker 3: Practice, bright cleats, bright personality. Guy is like caffeine walking around.
40:31
Speaker 3: It is interesting to see though there have been new drills,
40:34
Speaker 3: like drills that we have not seen before. My favorite
40:37
Speaker 3: ones so far. Are they doing it right now? Because
40:39
Speaker 3: we see the returning punts Now there's just a regular return,
40:42
Speaker 3: But two days ago they were doing whoever was returning
40:45
Speaker 3: the punt. They all lined up and one by one
40:47
Speaker 3: catch the punt from the jugs machine and as you
40:50
Speaker 3: catch it, you have to throw a tennis ball in
40:52
Speaker 3: the air, catch the punt, and then catch the tennis ball.
40:55
Speaker 1: Oh geez.
40:55
Speaker 3: And some guys were more successful than others.
40:59
Speaker 2: Let's put it that.
41:00
Speaker 1: There wasn't one hundred percent. There were a lot of
41:03
Speaker 1: drops a whole lot of drops. Well, and you see
41:06
Speaker 1: a position where like, yeah, there's there's a lot of
41:09
Speaker 1: time there. There's a lot of time to be standing
41:11
Speaker 1: back there waiting, and it's kick returning is so much
41:14
Speaker 1: different than punt returning. Like it sounds rather obvious, but
41:18
Speaker 1: when you have plenty of time in understanding, you can
41:21
Speaker 1: catch the football, get your grip, get your bearings under you,
41:24
Speaker 1: and then attack to the point where it's like, I
41:26
Speaker 1: sure hope somebody's not about to lack when I catch
41:30
Speaker 1: this ball. You cannot take your eyes off of the
41:33
Speaker 1: football to see what's happening. It takes a lot lot
41:36
Speaker 1: of confidence, in a lot of concentration, just like Aaron
41:39
Speaker 1: Nagler monitoring the YouTube stream and chat where we have
41:42
Speaker 1: more super.
41:43
Speaker 2: Chats now, well we do.
41:44
Speaker 3: Got Mike Witt saying, Howdie boys, I know it's early
41:46
Speaker 3: in camp still, but how do dvs and Sorel look
41:49
Speaker 3: so far? Really think both of them could make an impact,
41:52
Speaker 3: especially once Mica comes back. You guys know, the caveat
41:56
Speaker 3: pads aren't on yet. Hard to say with any kind
41:59
Speaker 3: of confidence of either of these guys are going to
42:01
Speaker 3: look going forward, But I'll tell you what dds looks
42:05
Speaker 3: the part.
42:06
Speaker 2: I mean, he looks legit.
42:08
Speaker 3: Got to see it when the Pats come on, got
42:10
Speaker 3: to see him continue to get better. But you said it, man,
42:12
Speaker 3: he's getting off the bus.
42:13
Speaker 2: He looks. He looks like he belongs.
42:15
Speaker 1: And you can't fake the kind of production he had
42:18
Speaker 1: last year. No, right, like you get ten and a
42:21
Speaker 1: half sacks in the big ten. Yeah, that's that's impressive.
42:24
Speaker 2: There's the floor. There's an impressive floor there, and hopefully
42:26
Speaker 2: the packers can harness.
42:27
Speaker 1: And similarly to the conversation around now, hold off before
42:33
Speaker 1: you freak out here when Miles Garrett gets traded to
42:36
Speaker 1: the people are talking about the different level of production
42:40
Speaker 1: he could have when I don't know, maybe his team's
42:42
Speaker 1: leading a football game, right, like what I thought. They
42:46
Speaker 1: didn't have the lead a lot last year, but they
42:48
Speaker 1: weren't winning a whole lot of games, and he was
42:51
Speaker 1: still able to pin his ears back and produce.
42:54
Speaker 2: Uh.
42:54
Speaker 1: That to me is not nothing and sorel from the
42:58
Speaker 1: guys that come in with the best shape of their
43:01
Speaker 1: life season Baronceurrel's right in that mix. I mean he
43:04
Speaker 1: is caught up. It looks like slimmed down a little bit.
43:07
Speaker 1: Maybe in the in the gut region, not like he
43:10
Speaker 1: was not like he had a pouch on him.
43:12
Speaker 2: No, no, he wasn't in an offensive lineman.
43:13
Speaker 1: But my man is s felt and yoked. It looks
43:17
Speaker 1: like he could be ready to roll that way. Frame wise,
43:20
Speaker 1: he looks the part.
43:21
Speaker 2: I loved his tape last year.
43:23
Speaker 3: I don't know what there's like the PFF geeks didn't
43:26
Speaker 3: like his season. I think he showed a ton of
43:29
Speaker 3: promise throughout twenty twenty five, and we know a lot
43:32
Speaker 3: of times the biggest jump that guys will make in
43:35
Speaker 3: their career is between year one and year two. That's
43:38
Speaker 3: the hope of Sorel because again, there were lots of
43:41
Speaker 3: promising moments. Hopefully, A, he builds on that and becomes
43:44
Speaker 3: a lot more consistent.
43:46
Speaker 2: But B if he can.
43:47
Speaker 3: Do that, he'll get on the field and have more
43:49
Speaker 3: of those opportunities. But that all starts on Monday when
43:53
Speaker 3: the pads come on. Though I will say it is funny,
43:55
Speaker 3: like you know, Lafleur did indicate they were gonna have
43:57
Speaker 3: the spider pads on, which they do today, so they
43:59
Speaker 3: look at little bit square, a little bit bigger. I'm
44:03
Speaker 3: not sure that's NFL p a CBA compliant. Billy, Well,
44:06
Speaker 3: it's a ramp up portion rights.
44:09
Speaker 2: No pads, and those are certainly pads.
44:12
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not here to be a locker room lawyer,
44:14
Speaker 3: but I do want to play by the book.
44:16
Speaker 1: You know, well, I appreciate it. I wonder if anybody
44:18
Speaker 1: would have a complaint. I wonder if anybody would you
44:20
Speaker 1: know what, maybe more we'll just see this in the
44:22
Speaker 1: end of the year. On that on a super special survey.
44:27
Speaker 1: Don made us go out here with shells on in
44:30
Speaker 1: day number three, and I want my money back for
44:32
Speaker 1: my dues.
44:33
Speaker 3: I like, I like Joe in the chat say, according
44:35
Speaker 3: to Andy Herman, there's no kicking today. Why would there
44:39
Speaker 3: have a day with no kicking? And on days with
44:41
Speaker 3: no kicking, what does tray Smack do exactly?
44:43
Speaker 2: Joe.
44:43
Speaker 3: I don't mean to burst your bubble here, but I'm
44:45
Speaker 3: gonna tell you right now, most days there are no kicking.
44:48
Speaker 3: There is, yeah, the majority of it, but more days
44:51
Speaker 3: than not there is no kicking.
44:53
Speaker 2: And what does he do?
44:54
Speaker 3: Works on timing, He works with the specialists, He works
44:56
Speaker 3: with the holder and the snapper.
44:58
Speaker 2: Yesterday he did kick.
45:00
Speaker 3: Three whole field goals, three whole field twenty five yards
45:03
Speaker 3: smack dab in the middle, made them, made them all,
45:05
Speaker 3: made them.
45:06
Speaker 2: Imagine if you missed them.
45:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, sadly I can, because Nags I did. As he
45:11
Speaker 1: was kicking. I'm like, please put these through, Please don't
45:14
Speaker 1: make us comment on it. But how much of it?
45:16
Speaker 1: And now they bring in the dude with phenomenal flow,
45:19
Speaker 1: he's stretching it out by the headband over here right now,
45:23
Speaker 1: was formerly of the Cincinnati Bengals Uh to be the
45:26
Speaker 1: backup long snapper. They release Lenny Kreig. Sorry, we barely
45:29
Speaker 1: knew you. Lenny could be back as the ipp player.
45:32
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out. But the timing, how much can
45:35
Speaker 1: they do and how much can't they do obviously without
45:38
Speaker 1: or being here.
45:38
Speaker 3: Well, they can work on the operation and everyone can
45:41
Speaker 3: do their jobs. But yeah, it's probably gonna be a
45:43
Speaker 3: tick different, little different, a little different. But that's I
45:46
Speaker 3: mean every guy, every guy has to take an advantage
45:49
Speaker 3: of opportunities, right, We talk about that all the time.
45:51
Speaker 2: Long snappers no different.
45:53
Speaker 3: They say, you can't lose your job, dude injury, it's
45:57
Speaker 3: a lie, but everybody does at some point.
45:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair.
46:00
Speaker 2: So I just think this has got.
46:02
Speaker 3: A chance to make a case and if it becomes
46:04
Speaker 3: because goodness knows, we have seen Billy throughout the last
46:08
Speaker 3: couple of years. Sounds like Orzick is automatic. Oh that's right,
46:12
Speaker 3: there aren't some wayward snaps at times. So you come
46:15
Speaker 3: in here, do your job, maybe you look automatic and
46:18
Speaker 3: start a conversation.
46:19
Speaker 1: Let's hit a couple of more chats here. Packer's super fan.
46:22
Speaker 1: Hacker's preseason is very predictable. The hype is always more
46:26
Speaker 1: than the team can produce. The most predictable thing ever, Well,
46:29
Speaker 1: if that doesn't seem like Packer's super.
46:31
Speaker 3: Fan, right, I mean this at me, Billy is what
46:33
Speaker 3: I'm talking about. The Cynics are out and look the Packers.
46:36
Speaker 3: All they can do. All they can do is win
46:39
Speaker 3: football games and let people be quiet.
46:42
Speaker 1: That's true. That's the easiest way to do it.
46:44
Speaker 2: All they can do.
46:45
Speaker 1: Mike went on a super chat here in Nangs for us.
46:47
Speaker 1: I know he's on pup obviously, but is Mike on
46:50
Speaker 1: the sidelines during camp? Just curious? Gonna be in town
46:53
Speaker 1: next Tuesday. They're gonna be in pads. Question Mark gonna
46:56
Speaker 1: have a butter burger from Krolls on Tuesday.
46:58
Speaker 2: Can't wait, now, Mike got a lot in on that.
47:00
Speaker 1: Well made his money's work. Now, first off, the Krolls
47:02
Speaker 1: butter Burger, that's just that's just the necessity.
47:05
Speaker 2: I gotta do it. I got I got in on
47:07
Speaker 2: one the other day.
47:08
Speaker 3: I do have a problem with Krolls, though, I got
47:10
Speaker 3: a problem to people love that.
47:12
Speaker 1: Chairs are too comfy, chairs are too company.
47:15
Speaker 2: Does make it difficult to leave.
47:16
Speaker 1: It makes it very difficult to leave. It makes it
47:19
Speaker 1: very difficult when you planned on not having beers with
47:21
Speaker 1: the butter burger, then you sit in.
47:23
Speaker 2: The chair, they are in front of you.
47:25
Speaker 1: Then then they're right there, and then the burger is
47:28
Speaker 1: really good, and then the chairs really comfortable, and then
47:29
Speaker 1: you stay much longer than you planned on. So it's
47:31
Speaker 1: one of those issues that is a good problem.
47:34
Speaker 3: That's right, it's the best problem. That it's the best
47:37
Speaker 3: one we have. Enjoy that Krolsburger. But uh, he is
47:40
Speaker 3: out here, naggs.
47:41
Speaker 1: I've made the joke the last two days he's gotten
47:44
Speaker 1: the biggest pop whenever he's walked out of the Hudson Center.
47:46
Speaker 2: Well, that is the thing.
47:46
Speaker 3: He's not here for the entirety of the practices. He's
47:49
Speaker 3: usually rehabbing inside the Hudson Center. But then at some
47:52
Speaker 3: point he always does, you know, come out of the
47:55
Speaker 3: Hudson Center and join his teammates and cheering them on.
47:58
Speaker 3: Yesterday you saw him running, yeah, defensive line mates. So yeah,
48:02
Speaker 3: he's out here. I know he rode the bikes yesterday
48:04
Speaker 3: for the first time. That's a lot of fun. But yeah,
48:07
Speaker 3: he's he's here. He's out and about.
48:09
Speaker 1: Smack dab right in the middle right now as he's
48:11
Speaker 1: standing right in front of Jordan Love listening to all
48:14
Speaker 1: the calls and anything possible, anything that you can add listen.
48:17
Speaker 1: They say mental reps are a good thing. See Javon
48:20
Speaker 1: Hargrave out here as well as he rehabs coming back
