- 0:17Speaker 1: and x where you can see the show as well
- 0:20Speaker 1: as we are seeing the Packers doing some kick return unit.
- 0:23Speaker 1: One man that we have not talked a whole lot
- 0:25Speaker 1: about Voice of the Green Bay Packers, Wayne Larvy one
- 0:27Speaker 1: Carl Brooks.
- 0:28Speaker 2: I don't know if the.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Potawatamy Sportsbook, our presenting sponsor, has this investment. Now they
- 0:34Speaker 1: have just about every player proposition you could fathom for
- 0:38Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six season. I urge you to go
- 0:40Speaker 1: and look at it for the potential money that could
- 0:42Speaker 1: be made. I don't know that they have amount of
- 0:46Speaker 1: defensive linemen on starting kick coverage teams, but Carl Brooks
- 0:50Speaker 1: being on the return unit Wayne has got to be
- 0:53Speaker 1: some kind of record. I would see a whole lot
- 0:54Speaker 1: of defensive tackles being on kick return, but he is
- 0:58Speaker 1: a part of it. And you're seeing a different grouping
- 1:01Speaker 1: here of a lot of guys that are trying to
- 1:03Speaker 1: make the team. Cam a Cords Group did a masterful
- 1:06Speaker 1: job of opening up some lanes on Friday Night.
- 1:09Speaker 2: A couple of years ago, the kick.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Drills in the change of the kickoff rules in the
- 1:15Speaker 1: NFL were the number one talking point. We haven't talked
- 1:19Speaker 1: a whole lot about him anymore because the Packers hadn't.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Been very good at it.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Interested to see if it all turns around, because if
- 1:25Speaker 1: Friday Night was a little bit of a taster way
- 1:28Speaker 1: and the meal is gonna be really good.
- 1:29Speaker 3: That apetiser you always, you know, And I don't put
- 1:32Speaker 3: a lot into preseason kicking game stuff because generally you're
- 1:37Speaker 3: just trying to put your kicking team together, your your
- 1:40Speaker 3: coverage team or your return team, and there's a lot
- 1:44Speaker 3: of experimenting going on. You know, you don't have guys
- 1:48Speaker 3: working together that you might during the regular season that
- 1:51Speaker 3: type of thing. So I wouldn't get too excited about it.
- 1:54Speaker 3: But it was nice to see Pierre Strom your goodness
- 1:58Speaker 3: rip off of sixty eight yard return.
- 2:01Speaker 4: I was just like wow.
- 2:03Speaker 3: I didn't know what to say because it been so
- 2:06Speaker 3: long since we saw a return like that with the Packers.
- 2:09Speaker 3: So but that was a heck of a return he made,
- 2:12Speaker 3: and it was so well blocked Billy sure broke it
- 2:14Speaker 3: down afterward.
- 2:16Speaker 1: It was as perfectly executed from all eleven as you
- 2:19Speaker 1: could possibly have.
- 2:20Speaker 4: And to have that many.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Players, as you mentioned, in and out still figuring out
- 2:25Speaker 1: where you're gonna be, that is a hodgepodge of players
- 2:30Speaker 1: out there in that moment. So to have it blocked
- 2:33Speaker 1: up perfectly, I know that's exactly what cam Acord is
- 2:36Speaker 1: hoping to see. And what you want to see more
- 2:38Speaker 1: of is the sky Moore's athleticism. I thought the punt
- 2:41Speaker 1: return that he had of five green yards was almost
- 2:43Speaker 1: the most impressive play of the night because there was
- 2:46Speaker 1: nothing there before he found the right side.
- 2:48Speaker 3: So, like I said, he has that knack and you
- 2:51Speaker 3: know top ten and kick and punt returning last year.
- 2:54Speaker 3: We've been saying it all summer. If he just does
- 2:57Speaker 3: that for the Packers, it will elevate their special teams
- 3:00Speaker 3: and give the offense better field position to work on.
- 3:04Speaker 3: I think that the whole objective of your return game
- 3:06Speaker 3: in the special teams give the offense better field position,
- 3:11Speaker 3: and that's something they weren't able to do a year ago.
- 3:13Speaker 3: And I think it will have a residual impact on
- 3:16Speaker 3: how effective the offense can be. And we talked about
- 3:19Speaker 3: the Packers offense last year in the major categories like
- 3:21Speaker 3: points and yards and rushing and passing. They were all
- 3:24Speaker 3: but middle of the pack on sixteen seventy eighteen whatever
- 3:27Speaker 3: it was. But they weren't, you know, the dynamic offense
- 3:31Speaker 3: that were used to seeing under Matt Lafleur. I think
- 3:33Speaker 3: a lot of it was that subtle problem of hey,
- 3:36Speaker 3: field position, you starting drives back inside your thirty yard line,
- 3:40Speaker 3: it's you're not going to be quite as effective if
- 3:42Speaker 3: you started like at the thirty five or forty yard line.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Yeah, and for their opportunity at hand they have, you
- 3:50Speaker 2: gotta be able to maximize it.
- 3:51Speaker 1: And you saw how different Seattle was, rightfully so the
- 3:56Speaker 1: best team in football, the champions a year ago. What
- 3:58Speaker 1: a different team they were once Rashid Shahi came in
- 4:01Speaker 1: and started flipping the field every other.
- 4:02Speaker 3: P Yeah, series absolutely. I mean the game is it's
- 4:07Speaker 3: about big plays. It's about preventing them on defense, which
- 4:10Speaker 3: is why you see so many two and three shell
- 4:13Speaker 3: defenses out there, or quarters defenses. And it's also offensively.
- 4:18Speaker 3: You got in order to sustain the drive, you got
- 4:20Speaker 3: to make a big play. To score a touchdown, you
- 4:22Speaker 3: have to have a big play of like sixteen yards
- 4:24Speaker 3: on a pass play or ten plus yards on a
- 4:27Speaker 3: running play during that drive.
- 4:28Speaker 1: And that was what consistently they did not have enough
- 4:32Speaker 1: of when Tucker Craft went out right offensively, you didn't
- 4:34Speaker 1: have enough players being able to make a sizeable play
- 4:37Speaker 1: when you desperately needed it.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Some news around the.
- 4:38Speaker 1: NFL, as we continually wait for the next team portion,
- 4:42Speaker 1: Packers just ripped through a team period of about thirty
- 4:46Speaker 1: five minutes, one of the longest in camp, and a
- 4:49Speaker 1: very very grueling run. They're going at it here today
- 4:52Speaker 1: and there will be some more of it before we
- 4:54Speaker 1: give you some news around the NFL. Tos take quick
- 4:56Speaker 1: ten seconds to allow our local stations to identify themselves.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Ten for a station ID you're listening to Packers Football.
- 5:04Speaker 1: It's Packers' Training Camp twenty twenty six Training Camp Live,
- 5:07Speaker 1: presented by the Pottawatomie sportsbook Bet Big, Bet, Bold and
- 5:10Speaker 1: Bet above the rest, live from Green Bay at Raynichkie
- 5:12Speaker 1: Field on Bill Schmid alongside the voice of the Green
- 5:14Speaker 1: Bay Packers, Wayne Lairvie as the Packers first team offense
- 5:18Speaker 1: and first team defense rejoins the field and gets themselves
- 5:23Speaker 1: ready for another session of team did mention some news
- 5:26Speaker 1: across the NFL that was noteworthy. The Cleveland Browns have
- 5:31Speaker 1: named Deshaun Watson the starting quarterback for Week one. That
- 5:34Speaker 1: is after he called the fans booing him disrespectful, but
- 5:39Speaker 1: he will be the starting quarterback for the Browns nonetheless,
- 5:41Speaker 1: and owner for the San Francisco forty nine ers. Jed
- 5:46Speaker 1: York arrested in Ohio as under suspicion of engaging in
- 5:52Speaker 1: a prostitution situation.
- 5:55Speaker 2: A lot more to discuss on that. We are not TMZ.
- 5:58Speaker 1: We are your home for Packers Football Sports nine to
- 6:00Speaker 1: twenty in Milwaukee, and that's luckily what we get to
- 6:03Speaker 1: talk about because Tackers don't have any owners that can
- 6:05Speaker 1: be getting into that kind of ne farious situation, and
- 6:09Speaker 1: no quarterback controversy is number one. Quarterback Jordan Love takes
- 6:13Speaker 1: center stage here as he brings Josh Jacobs back into
- 6:16Speaker 1: the backfield off to the right side of hands it
- 6:19Speaker 1: off to him off right side of pulling. Sean Ryan
- 6:21Speaker 1: might get in the way, but a good move by
- 6:24Speaker 1: seventy five that at least get out there. Josh Jacobs
- 6:26Speaker 1: cuts it back and team is back underway.
- 6:29Speaker 4: Here is it? Not?
- 6:32Speaker 3: Every center can do it, And we've seen it a
- 6:34Speaker 3: number of times for the summer Sean Ryan pulling folks.
- 6:38Speaker 3: And when we say that he's going from a center position,
- 6:40Speaker 3: he's going all the way out maybe off to the
- 6:42Speaker 3: tackle position leading a running play.
- 6:45Speaker 4: You don't see that often, do you. No, you don't center.
- 6:48Speaker 1: And I wonder if some of it is based off
- 6:51Speaker 1: necessity with not wanting to throw Aaron Banks too much
- 6:55Speaker 1: in and out there. But I think a lot of
- 6:56Speaker 1: it's just the athleticism that Ryan possesses in He has
- 7:00Speaker 1: looked a lot better in pass pro.
- 7:01Speaker 2: Wayne As he goes up against Davonte Wyatt on that one, I.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Thought that was the biggest hole in his game up
- 7:06Speaker 1: flash last year when he made.
- 7:08Speaker 2: That move and that being calm.
- 7:10Speaker 1: We talk about the tackle position, obviously at left tackle
- 7:14Speaker 1: being a part of it.
- 7:15Speaker 2: The pressure up the middle is a tough one to.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Be able to escape, no question about that. I mean,
- 7:19Speaker 3: that's what you're everybody's looking for on defense. You want
- 7:22Speaker 3: DeVante Wyatt to disrupt from within and spill the quarterback
- 7:26Speaker 3: to the outside where you have your edge rushers to
- 7:28Speaker 3: capture him. It's great to see also Bacco billwell back
- 7:33Speaker 3: on the field. You know, Zach is such a key
- 7:36Speaker 3: to this line. He's far and away their best offensive lineman,
- 7:39Speaker 3: the right tackle Zach Baco Bwelle. I think it's great
- 7:43Speaker 3: to see him out there.
- 7:44Speaker 1: That is also after a not necessarily a coming up
- 7:48Speaker 1: lame and he did hit the ground and wins a
- 7:51Speaker 1: little bit in fashion, came right back, was doing some
- 7:53Speaker 1: more individual drills and right back into team drills. And
- 7:55Speaker 1: this is the same offensive line that started all three
- 7:59Speaker 1: of the team periods the Packers from left to right,
- 8:01Speaker 1: Morgan Banks, Ryan Monk and Bacco Bill as they moved
- 8:05Speaker 1: the ball a little bit against this first team Packers defense,
- 8:09Speaker 1: and Devonte Wyatt seems as refreshed and recharged as you
- 8:12Speaker 1: could be. Talk about somebody coming off a major injury
- 8:15Speaker 1: a year ago, Wayne and then getting compensated as well
- 8:18Speaker 1: as he did. I think watching the team as we
- 8:22Speaker 1: did every single game last year, his sudden burst really
- 8:26Speaker 1: jumped off the page. A year ago, felt like he
- 8:27Speaker 1: started to untap into a lot of that potential we've
- 8:30Speaker 1: known he's had for a while.
- 8:31Speaker 3: We've got a mishandled exchange between quarterback and Marshaun Lloyd
- 8:36Speaker 3: Paul on the turf and the defense and Baron.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Grabs it and Lucas VanNess pulls Bacha Bla off of
- 8:44Speaker 1: him because he doesn't want to scrum for the football.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Sorell had the interception in practice a couple of weeks ago.
- 8:51Speaker 2: Feels like it's been.
- 8:51Speaker 1: A little more quiet around ninety nine, but he seems
- 8:55Speaker 1: to maybe again this is uh reading too much into it,
- 8:59Speaker 1: seems to have kind of captivating stolen that spot opposite
- 9:03Speaker 1: Lucas van Nesca that first team.
- 9:04Speaker 3: He has Billy, He's been out there and been very active.
- 9:07Speaker 3: As you pointed out.
- 9:09Speaker 1: It looked like he came into a twenty twenty six
- 9:12Speaker 1: training camp the right way, in best shape of your
- 9:14Speaker 1: life season. Because Baron Currell is fitting that Bill off
- 9:17Speaker 1: to the right side. He goes up against two tight
- 9:19Speaker 1: ends and that one goes up the seam to Josh
- 9:21Speaker 1: Wiley in and out of the hands and hits the
- 9:24Speaker 1: turf nearly intercepted by I think that's Keishawn Nixon, right
- 9:28Speaker 1: or is that Kamal Hadden over there.
- 9:29Speaker 4: I think it might be Kamal Hadden thirty.
- 9:33Speaker 2: I think that is Kamal Hadden.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Yet you're right that would be would have been an
- 9:36Speaker 1: interception off the drop, but a seam ball, and that
- 9:41Speaker 1: exact play is one that you wonder how much they'll
- 9:44Speaker 1: be able to utilize this year. If Luke Musgrave is healthy,
- 9:47Speaker 1: that's probably a Luke Musgrave run. Working two tight ends
- 9:51Speaker 1: with Craft and Musgrave. That's why you drafted him in
- 9:53Speaker 1: the second and third round. Wiley, I do believe is
- 9:55Speaker 1: going to give them a good pass catching threat on
- 9:59Speaker 1: top of what he in the run game. As we
- 10:01Speaker 1: get a procedure penalty, a false start that will very
- 10:04Speaker 1: much frustrate the head coach.
- 10:06Speaker 3: And that previous play wasn't had and it was Kishawn
- 10:09Speaker 3: Nixon out there. Billy was number looked like forty six
- 10:11Speaker 3: in set of twenty five. But you know, these practice
- 10:15Speaker 3: uniforms sometimes it's hard to see and hard to tell.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Especially when we like to roll up the jerseys and
- 10:20Speaker 2: like to.
- 10:20Speaker 4: Make yeah, that's that we see the should be illegal.
- 10:26Speaker 1: How about Zaiyer Franklin as he angers the middle here
- 10:30Speaker 1: of the defense. We saw again very limited action of him.
- 10:33Speaker 1: Heard a little bit of him on the Packers television
- 10:35Speaker 1: network as a deep bald to bowl meltin defense rides
- 10:39Speaker 1: him right out.
- 10:40Speaker 3: That was Nixon. I mean he was in his hip,
- 10:43Speaker 3: in his shirt. He Shawn Nixon is having a heck
- 10:46Speaker 3: of a day.
- 10:46Speaker 4: Isn't he? He really is, really is.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's been having maybe the best day he's
- 10:50Speaker 1: at all all Cam And again, there's there is a
- 10:54Speaker 1: lot of conversation around Kish and I think right now
- 10:57Speaker 1: he's Packers Twitter's least favorite player, but he's the most discussed.
- 11:01Speaker 1: And the one thing that's difficult to not point out
- 11:05Speaker 1: when that conversation starts up is when he's playing his best,
- 11:10Speaker 1: he's going.
- 11:10Speaker 2: To be their best to second best option.
- 11:12Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Like if indeed there's it's a zero sum game or
- 11:16Speaker 1: he's either on or off, they're a much better football
- 11:18Speaker 1: team with Nixon on, and especially if he's able to
- 11:21Speaker 1: play this way and he got him a challenged version exactly.
- 11:24Speaker 3: And right now he's right across from Christian Watson as
- 11:27Speaker 3: they run another play here in this move, the ball drill.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Fire off to Chris Brooks off to the right flat
- 11:34Speaker 1: and Venus on the coverage. But Brooks he got a
- 11:37Speaker 1: little bit of run on Friday night. Is he in
- 11:41Speaker 1: any danger, Wayne of not being on the club Billy.
- 11:44Speaker 3: I can't imagine he would be. It's a matter do
- 11:48Speaker 3: they want to keep three or four running backs? And
- 11:52Speaker 3: I think they probably go with four. Why because Brooks
- 11:55Speaker 3: is so valuable on that third down situation as a
- 11:59Speaker 3: as a guy they can rely on to pick up
- 12:01Speaker 3: the blitzer as a guy that can catch the ball
- 12:04Speaker 3: out of the backfield and move it.
- 12:06Speaker 1: And I think Strong has played very very well. Oh yeah,
- 12:09Speaker 1: but I don't, like you said, I don't know that
- 12:10Speaker 1: it's anything against the way he's played. But I think
- 12:14Speaker 1: what Brooks does and what he provides is a very
- 12:17Speaker 1: calming thing as well for the Packers' offensive staff when
- 12:20Speaker 1: they know he's going to be in there and passes.
- 12:22Speaker 4: I think you keep four running backs.
- 12:24Speaker 3: I'm just off the top of my head, so don't
- 12:26Speaker 3: pin me down on social media on this, but I
- 12:29Speaker 3: think you keep four running backs. I think the question
- 12:31Speaker 3: is how many tight ends do you keep? Do you
- 12:33Speaker 3: have more than two or three tight ends that really
- 12:36Speaker 3: should make your football team here? Okay, you've got Tucker Kraft,
- 12:42Speaker 3: Wiley Wiley Dabney.
- 12:44Speaker 4: And that's that.
- 12:45Speaker 2: It feels like it's about it and first, so.
- 12:47Speaker 3: I honestly think and I don't know this, but I
- 12:50Speaker 3: would imagine that pro personnel is probably looking waiting for
- 12:54Speaker 3: some cuts across the league to see if they might
- 12:56Speaker 3: want to add another tight end.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Yeah, and there was there was a tight end here
- 12:59Speaker 2: a couple of years ago.
- 13:00Speaker 1: That was that last ad H was one of the
- 13:03Speaker 1: last cuts Ben Simms and ultimately ends up playing a
- 13:06Speaker 1: bunch of football. He was in Minnesota a couple of
- 13:09Speaker 1: years ago as well, and then goes and gets picked
- 13:11Speaker 1: up plays.
- 13:12Speaker 2: All year long. So there there are those types of players.
- 13:15Speaker 2: But we'll see.
- 13:16Speaker 1: Because I'm with you, I think there's a hole there,
- 13:19Speaker 1: and the lack of information on Luke muskgraves future availability
- 13:25Speaker 1: leaves a lot of questions out there.
- 13:26Speaker 3: There's a lot of questions on that. And you know,
- 13:29Speaker 3: again he's not in the DROZ. He's missed the entire camp.
- 13:32Speaker 3: I don't know how you go into the season with Luke.
- 13:36Speaker 3: He probably starts on one of the injuried lists, you know,
- 13:39Speaker 3: and and probably is out for what you have to
- 13:41Speaker 3: be out six weeks if you're on the ir list
- 13:45Speaker 3: to start the season. But you know, I think that's
- 13:49Speaker 3: you can't be figuring he's one of your four tight ends.
- 13:53Speaker 3: That you keep going into the season. Will he be
- 13:56Speaker 3: there eventually maybe hopefully.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Yeah, And there's plenty of time still, but you start
- 14:01Speaker 1: the year injured, difficult to ultimately get back to being
- 14:05Speaker 1: your healthiest and your best version because you're just not
- 14:08Speaker 1: going to get this kind of run and this kind
- 14:10Speaker 1: of build up you can build up in practice, like
- 14:12Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is going to have to do to get
- 14:15Speaker 1: back and get ready for game shape. But to not
- 14:18Speaker 1: have this build up when you're still trying to develop
- 14:20Speaker 1: as a player, that's a heck of an updill climb.
- 14:23Speaker 3: And then why you know, when we see rookies come
- 14:25Speaker 3: in folks and they miss a week and a half
- 14:27Speaker 3: a training camp, that is really debilitating for them. They
- 14:30Speaker 3: miss crucial reps and that's what they need more than anything.
- 14:34Speaker 3: And so you find it maybe that rookie is almost
- 14:37Speaker 3: red shirted and then the following year you really get
- 14:39Speaker 3: makes a run to make your team.
- 14:41Speaker 2: I wonder if some.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Of that will happen with Deni Donna Sutton, who again
- 14:44Speaker 1: is back on the practice field. He's running team drills
- 14:47Speaker 1: and everything here today. But they had mentioned last week
- 14:50Speaker 1: coming off of a heat related illness, they're working him
- 14:53Speaker 1: back slowly NFL with very very advanced protocols when it
- 14:56Speaker 1: comes to that. Rightfully so after the tragedy that happened
- 14:59Speaker 1: in Minnesota number of years ago. But today is today's
- 15:03Speaker 1: a picturesque training off day. Today could not be better for
- 15:06Speaker 1: the folks is hanging out here.
- 15:07Speaker 3: Watch barely seventy degrees light breeze blowing through here. Yeah,
- 15:11Speaker 3: right on the nose, except when they go for the
- 15:13Speaker 3: kicking drills. Then the breeze picks up here. Amazing how
- 15:16Speaker 3: that happens.
- 15:17Speaker 1: It is impressive, isn't it a well timed amazing well timed.
- 15:21Speaker 2: By the wind gusts.
- 15:22Speaker 1: As the team portion of practice off to the far
- 15:25Speaker 1: right side, our view is a little bit blocked, and
- 15:29Speaker 1: that's putting it nicely for this vantage point. But it's
- 15:31Speaker 1: the third teamers not necessarily missing too much. But it
- 15:36Speaker 1: is interesting to see how much Kyle McCord runs and
- 15:39Speaker 1: how effective he is coming up on Friday night against
- 15:43Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. I'm also eyes going to be on
- 15:45Speaker 1: Mark Perry Wayne when you see somebody now make multiple
- 15:48Speaker 1: plays him a little bit of money in the off
- 15:51Speaker 1: season after the draft to try to get him in here.
- 15:54Speaker 1: He has now been able to flash twice in the games.
- 15:58Speaker 1: If the games matter, forty one is going to be
- 16:00Speaker 1: a tough, tough cut. They have some It's a tough room.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Again.
- 16:04Speaker 1: We've mentioned this a lot with the corners and safeties.
- 16:06Speaker 1: They got a lot of volume there. It's gonna depend
- 16:08Speaker 1: on potentially some injuries. But Perry has put himself and
- 16:12Speaker 1: put a heck of a resume together to try to
- 16:14Speaker 1: make this.
- 16:14Speaker 4: Figure he has.
- 16:15Speaker 3: And you know, he's one of the guys who might
- 16:17Speaker 3: have put enough on tape that if the Packers have
- 16:19Speaker 3: to cut him, somebody might pick him up.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Would you be.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Interested, as we've seen a number of different teams mention
- 16:25Speaker 1: this now, and we talked about Keishawn Nixon. I. It
- 16:29Speaker 1: was a year ago around this time when you and
- 16:32Speaker 1: I were having the pie in the skylight conversation of
- 16:36Speaker 1: what edge rusher would you like the Packers to trade
- 16:38Speaker 1: for Trey Hendrickson or Micah Parsons, And we kind of
- 16:41Speaker 1: laughed and scoffed at the idea they would be interested
- 16:44Speaker 1: in either one. Obviously the game changing move for Parsons.
- 16:46Speaker 1: There's a couple of guys out there right now in
- 16:49Speaker 1: the cornerback room that are drawing some conversation Joey Porter
- 16:54Speaker 1: Junior in Pittsburgh. The number one, do you think at
- 16:57Speaker 1: all the pro personnel sides looking at a big move
- 17:00Speaker 1: like that are more under the radar signings and pickups
- 17:04Speaker 1: like we were talking about with tight End.
- 17:05Speaker 3: I think they're considering all moves. I really do, and
- 17:08Speaker 3: I say this sincerely, and I know for a fact
- 17:11Speaker 3: they'd consider They look at all those things. Now, whether
- 17:14Speaker 3: they make a move for like a Joey Porter that boy,
- 17:17Speaker 3: that remains to be seen, but I wouldn't count it out,
- 17:20Speaker 3: and I would think they're looking at that. Likely what
- 17:23Speaker 3: they'll do is probably something more under the radar.
- 17:25Speaker 2: Great leaping interception made by.
- 17:29Speaker 3: His length, Billy makes him such an intriguing player here
- 17:34Speaker 3: as a safety, conventional safety, as a slot cover guy
- 17:38Speaker 3: in the safety spot or even and we talked to
- 17:41Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon about this. You can bring him up to
- 17:43Speaker 3: the second level time and he can play linebacker for
- 17:46Speaker 3: a player.
- 17:47Speaker 1: His physicality is real and he's going to be able
- 17:50Speaker 1: to be on a number of different packages. Excited that
- 17:53Speaker 1: he's finally seemingly healthy, getting a full runway to work
- 17:58Speaker 1: here because coming out Oregon, state. You could see the tools,
- 18:02Speaker 1: you could see why teams were interested in him there
- 18:05Speaker 1: in the fifth round. But he has definitely gotten an
- 18:08Speaker 1: extended run. Again, it's the opportunity in front of you.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Javon Bullard is definitely the nickelback on this team, that's
- 18:14Speaker 1: not a question. But when he misses almost all of
- 18:16Speaker 1: training camp, he's gotten a lot of opportunity to showcase
- 18:20Speaker 1: what he can.
- 18:20Speaker 3: Do in those multiple laws. And of lake Kamal Hadden
- 18:23Speaker 3: as well, who you could also see in the slot perhaps,
- 18:26Speaker 3: but I know Jonathan Gannon preserved prefers to use safeties
- 18:31Speaker 3: or a quote runnerback safety slash kind of body in
- 18:36Speaker 3: the slot. You want a more physical player there because
- 18:40Speaker 3: so many teams are running the football more often now
- 18:43Speaker 3: than before, and so you need somebody who can hold
- 18:46Speaker 3: up against the run.
- 18:47Speaker 1: And you gotta be guarding these freak show tight ends
- 18:50Speaker 1: who are six foot six, two hundred and fifty pounds.
- 18:52Speaker 1: You need some kind of size to be able to
- 18:55Speaker 1: combat that. No pause, and now we have an off
- 18:58Speaker 1: false start. Speaking of a freak show sized tight end,
- 19:01Speaker 1: I believe that was Tucker Craft off to the left side,
- 19:03Speaker 1: who gets yelled at and he hangs the head and
- 19:05Speaker 1: gets very frustrated taps the chest. My bad, we'll get
- 19:08Speaker 1: it on the next one. Procedure penalties going to be
- 19:12Speaker 1: very frustrating to.
- 19:13Speaker 2: The offensive staff.
- 19:14Speaker 1: This offensive series with the number one offense features Jagger
- 19:17Speaker 1: Burton at left guard in for Aaron Banks and Zach
- 19:22Speaker 1: Bacoboele still out there at right tackle. Is the first
- 19:25Speaker 1: time we've seen Burton get the first reps here, and
- 19:29Speaker 1: that left guard job is going to be an interesting one.
- 19:32Speaker 1: We'll see more of this defensive line as it's Jonathan
- 19:36Speaker 1: Ford lined up again alongside Devonte Wyatt.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Again Ford I.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Thought was mostly going to be a run stuffer. Actually
- 19:43Speaker 1: Ford just checked out. That is Chris McClellan, I believe,
- 19:46Speaker 1: after the right side. But you've seen a number of
- 19:48Speaker 1: different pairings up front defensively as they're trying to get
- 19:53Speaker 1: some looks with a.
- 19:54Speaker 4: Little and shoving.
- 19:56Speaker 3: We're talking Matthew Golden got tangled up. I could well
- 20:00Speaker 3: kind of like tangled up with Baron Surrell and.
- 20:05Speaker 4: There we go.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Yeah, now we're really going. Now it's all the way
- 20:08Speaker 1: off to the far side. We have the defensive players
- 20:10Speaker 1: running in like a bullpen catcher. Oh yeah, Matthew Golden
- 20:14Speaker 1: is far away from it now. Zach Bacabawell, it looked
- 20:16Speaker 1: like he was trying to play peacemaker.
- 20:19Speaker 4: They're competing out there, Billy.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Zaire Franklin is the first one pulled out of the scrum,
- 20:24Speaker 1: so you would assume he has something to potentially say
- 20:27Speaker 1: and do.
- 20:28Speaker 2: In the midst of that.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Brandon Cis had a very good comical leap all the
- 20:33Speaker 1: way from the far side. We saw somebody do that
- 20:35Speaker 1: in a scrum a year ago. Let's make sure we
- 20:37Speaker 1: don't do that during a playoff game. We're also when
- 20:39Speaker 1: you get fifteen yards jumping on the pile and not
- 20:41Speaker 1: touching anybody who did.
- 20:42Speaker 4: That a couple years.
- 20:45Speaker 2: In a couple of years ago.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, especially if you're gonna get one, you might
- 20:48Speaker 1: as well earn it. I look like that one was
- 20:50Speaker 1: well earned, as the little bit of pushing and shoving
- 20:53Speaker 1: went from the middle of the field all the way
- 20:55Speaker 1: to the far sideline. That's really the first one, well
- 20:59Speaker 1: second team, yeah, scuffle that they may have had.
- 21:02Speaker 4: It was one last week. Yeah, and Matt.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Lafleur mentioned it this morning, Wayne, and I thought it
- 21:07Speaker 1: was well stated by the head coach. If you need
- 21:10Speaker 1: to play in the game on Friday night, you will
- 21:15Speaker 1: not play if you get into a scuffle. If you
- 21:17Speaker 1: don't need to play, you will play. Coming up on Friday.
- 21:20Speaker 5: Interesting when you can use the game reps as a punishment,
- 21:24Speaker 5: but it'll work because desperately, if you need that action
- 21:28Speaker 5: to be on the field and need those reps, that's
- 21:31Speaker 5: something you don't want to be passing up.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Jordan Love under center this time. Loan back in the
- 21:35Speaker 1: backfield is Josh Jacobs. Looks like a changing of the
- 21:38Speaker 1: play at the line of scrimmage for Love.
- 21:41Speaker 3: These are ones against ones going in this move the
- 21:45Speaker 3: ball drill. Jacob's showing good burst. He's healthy, He's had
- 21:49Speaker 3: a solid training camp, you know, kind of under the
- 21:52Speaker 3: radar a little bit, not playing in any games yet,
- 21:55Speaker 3: and I don't think he'll play Friday night.
- 21:57Speaker 1: No, and Matt Lafleur mentioned he'll be a little limited
- 22:00Speaker 1: coming up in but he's into team drills and this
- 22:02Speaker 1: is the most I think we've seen him running it
- 22:04Speaker 1: into team drills. And that's also a starting running back
- 22:08Speaker 1: in the NFL. If you know what you have, you
- 22:10Speaker 1: want to make sure that you can get him new
- 22:12Speaker 1: October November December a healthy.
- 22:13Speaker 3: You don't want to be wearing the treads on his
- 22:16Speaker 3: tires in camp, No, you don't. He's a veteran, he's
- 22:19Speaker 3: been around, He's had a lot of touches. They know
- 22:21Speaker 3: what they have and how they're going to use him.
- 22:23Speaker 1: This is an exciting trips formation off to the top
- 22:26Speaker 1: of the screen is now they motion Christian Watson off
- 22:29Speaker 1: to the right side, but it was Golden Watson and
- 22:31Speaker 1: read a lot of excitement, athletic as.
- 22:33Speaker 3: Youre and Cooper splashed right in front of Tucker Kraft
- 22:37Speaker 3: took a quick slant throw and batted it away. You know,
- 22:42Speaker 3: there was a lot of discussion. We talked about it
- 22:44Speaker 3: last year. Coop didn't have the splash plays he had
- 22:48Speaker 3: in his rookie year, and a lot of it had
- 22:50Speaker 3: to do Billy with him being back more in coverage.
- 22:54Speaker 3: Why because he's a great coverage linebacker. Was that play right?
- 22:57Speaker 3: There was an example. I was watching him on another
- 22:59Speaker 3: play earlier and I said to myself, yeah, I understand
- 23:04Speaker 3: what Jeff Hafley was getting at this guy. They needed
- 23:07Speaker 3: him in coverage, but this is a guy that if
- 23:10Speaker 3: you could deploy him to the quarterback, he can make plays.
- 23:12Speaker 1: He did it all over the sec and he looks
- 23:15Speaker 1: like he is poised to be doing it again this year.
- 23:17Speaker 1: Zaire Franklin has been as complimentary as that ball goes
- 23:21Speaker 1: off to Tucker Craft on the far side for a
- 23:23Speaker 1: good completion on an out route. Franklin mentioned it that
- 23:27Speaker 1: you just see how talented he is. He's just very,
- 23:30Speaker 1: very good at football. As simple as that might sound. Yeah,
- 23:33Speaker 1: when players that have seen it be played at the
- 23:36Speaker 1: highest level see there be a different level of competitiveness
- 23:40Speaker 1: and talent that makes it take note because there is
- 23:42Speaker 1: clearly an athleticism to him that that stands out to
- 23:47Speaker 1: other players. Off to the right side, now, Marshawn Lloyd,
- 23:49Speaker 1: as sky Moore goes in motion, hand it off to
- 23:52Speaker 1: Lloyd off the left side, and.
- 23:53Speaker 3: I think the scrimmage in pursuit. Edrick Cooper was flashing
- 23:59Speaker 3: across the line, so Brandon Surrell. If it was a
- 24:01Speaker 3: real live tackle play, I think they might have made it.
- 24:04Speaker 1: And Cooper tracked himself all the way down from the
- 24:07Speaker 1: opposite side.
- 24:08Speaker 3: His you know, his athleticism is off the charts, and Billy,
- 24:12Speaker 3: you were hinting at it a little bit a second ago.
- 24:15Speaker 3: I think his vision and instinct is really what takes
- 24:18Speaker 3: that because a lot of guys are athletic on this level,
- 24:21Speaker 3: but the difference is those who see the play before
- 24:24Speaker 3: it happens and the instinct they bring, and he has
- 24:27Speaker 3: all of that well.
- 24:28Speaker 1: And I also wonder if and this will be something
- 24:30Speaker 1: that gets tested throughout the year as he tries to
- 24:33Speaker 1: jump that off and once again fifty six right behind
- 24:36Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage makes first contact.
- 24:39Speaker 2: I think so much of the physicality in the run game.
- 24:41Speaker 2: Wayne is a learn trade and a trained trade.
- 24:46Speaker 1: I'm not being a north and south runner a lot
- 24:49Speaker 1: in the last couple of years, right, I think he's
- 24:51Speaker 1: gonna be a lot more confidence sticking his nose in
- 24:53Speaker 1: there in his two hundred and twenty pound frame. After
- 24:55Speaker 1: you bounce back and you don't get injured. Yeah, right,
- 24:59Speaker 1: like that kind of Packers fans have mentioned it. Nobody
- 25:02Speaker 1: is going through it more mentally than I would assume
- 25:05Speaker 1: Marshawn Lloyd and smiling every time he's able to jump
- 25:08Speaker 1: back up and not be too effective.
- 25:09Speaker 3: Has it missed a play in OTA's mini camp training camp.
- 25:13Speaker 3: He's been healthy for it all, and that's a great sign.
- 25:15Speaker 1: A phenomenal one and Anthony Belton over at right tackle
- 25:19Speaker 1: here with the offensive starters here as the ball gets
- 25:22Speaker 1: flipped off the right side incomplete to Lloyd and again
- 25:25Speaker 1: there was pressure all over the place and it looked
- 25:28Speaker 1: like Anthony Campbell was the first one in there.
- 25:30Speaker 3: You know, again, I'll go back to what the coaches
- 25:34Speaker 3: have been saying in this camp. This has been a
- 25:36Speaker 3: test for this offense to move the ball against this defense,
- 25:40Speaker 3: to what Jonathan Gannon's doing with this defense, and we're gonna.
- 25:43Speaker 4: See more of it here. You're not gonna see that
- 25:45Speaker 4: Friday night.
- 25:46Speaker 3: You didn't see it in Denver, didn't see maybe a
- 25:48Speaker 3: flash or two in Pittsburgh what they might do. But
- 25:52Speaker 3: it's gonna be really fascinating to see the early regular
- 25:54Speaker 3: season games and what the Packers defense looks like.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Very exciting, and we'll see a lot more of it
- 25:59Speaker 2: coming up here.
- 26:00Speaker 1: On the other side, we'll take quick time out here
- 26:02Speaker 1: as our number two is rolling right by here live
- 26:06Speaker 1: from Raynichki Field.
- 26:07Speaker 2: He's the voice of the Green Bay Packers, Wayne Laraby.
- 26:09Speaker 1: To my right, I'm Billy Schmid of the Huddle on
- 26:12Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radios Continent Packers Oti. We got a lot
- 26:15Speaker 1: more presented by the Potawatami Sports Book live from Raynichki
- 26:18Speaker 1: Field right after this, as the final practice between the
- 26:21Speaker 1: Packers and Packers concludes.
- 26:24Speaker 2: Here in a matter of moments.
- 26:25Speaker 1: On Wednesday, it'll be the main event of training camp
- 26:27Speaker 1: as the Packers welcome in the Arizona Cardinals for a
- 26:30Speaker 1: joint practice and the Little Floor Bowl will take place
- 26:33Speaker 1: here at Raynichki Field. Wayne Larvie will call the preseason
- 26:36Speaker 1: game between those two clubs coming up on Friday night.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Will join us for training camp live on Wednesday. Wayne,
- 26:41Speaker 1: this is our third or fourth year now with these
- 26:44Speaker 1: joint practices. It seems to always live up to the
- 26:48Speaker 1: billing this one in terms of just the team that
- 26:52Speaker 1: you're welcoming in. Everyone will look at the Arizona Cardinals,
- 26:55Speaker 1: understandably so record wise and say, well, that's a that's
- 26:58Speaker 1: a bad football team. I don't know exactly what kind
- 27:00Speaker 1: of good work you're getting there, but they've looked good
- 27:02Speaker 1: in the preseason. They've got some really young, explosive playmakers.
- 27:07Speaker 2: Uh, and I'm excited to see this Packers.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Defense go up against a team that has some really
- 27:11Speaker 1: really good youth on it.
- 27:13Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no question, Mike Laflora be interesting to see
- 27:16Speaker 3: how he handles things. And uh, you know, I just
- 27:19Speaker 3: wonder where's the where's the meal gonna be? Where's the
- 27:22Speaker 3: uh night before practice meal gonna be? Is it gonna
- 27:26Speaker 3: be at Matt Laflora's house. Is gonna be a his
- 27:28Speaker 3: folks house over entitled town? Is it gonna be at
- 27:31Speaker 3: a restaurant? Big time?
- 27:33Speaker 1: I was gonna say, they renting out the back room
- 27:35Speaker 1: at Chives?
- 27:36Speaker 2: Are they finding Oh, that's.
- 27:37Speaker 1: Right, I mean that could be a they could find that.
- 27:39Speaker 1: That could be a decent idea as a pass breakup
- 27:42Speaker 1: on the far side that Christian Welch Iola Scandinavia zone
- 27:46Speaker 1: makes a play to wrap up practice on an out
- 27:49Speaker 1: route in the end zone. Welch fascinating player way and
- 27:53Speaker 1: he's been around this camp now for the last three years.
- 27:56Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Uh, Drew and I talked about him on Packers Hot
- 27:59Speaker 1: on Friday night. I believe he was our hardest working
- 28:02Speaker 1: player of the game at seven tackles and was out
- 28:04Speaker 1: there all night long. He feels like the Jersey number
- 28:08Speaker 1: fits where he kind of sits on the roster. The
- 28:11Speaker 1: fifty fourth man, a very very tough spot, but somebody
- 28:14Speaker 1: that just plays well during camp and makes himself a
- 28:17Speaker 1: career in the NFL, whether it's here somewhere.
- 28:19Speaker 2: I imagine he's playing.
- 28:20Speaker 3: In such a good special teams player. I mean, you know,
- 28:23Speaker 3: if you're that good on special teams, you'll always have
- 28:25Speaker 3: a job. But he and Nick Neeman the two guys
- 28:28Speaker 3: in that linebacking corps that will make I think they'll
- 28:32Speaker 3: make the team based on their special teams. Tyron Hoppers
- 28:35Speaker 3: another guy there. You know you run this three four defense.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy said when Dom Caper's brought it, he said
- 28:42Speaker 3: that the biggest impact that that alignment will have is
- 28:45Speaker 3: on our special teams. And then you get more linebacker
- 28:48Speaker 3: types who are critical and often in covering on special teams.
- 28:53Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean with the different kick rules and
- 28:55Speaker 1: kick coverage units in the kickoff formations, I imagine those
- 28:59Speaker 1: bigger body types are even more desired to be able
- 29:03Speaker 1: to hold up instead of just a lot of defensive
- 29:05Speaker 1: backs running out.
- 29:06Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, because you're in much more confined area. Now,
- 29:09Speaker 3: it's a different animal kick returnings. It's not Gail Sayers
- 29:13Speaker 3: and Wrigley Field against the forty nine ers, where there's
- 29:16Speaker 3: all kinds of holes and he's running through them. It's
- 29:19Speaker 3: much more condensed, and I think there's a different approach
- 29:22Speaker 3: to return game. It'd be a fascinating conversation to have
- 29:26Speaker 3: with a guy like Cam a Court maybe to talk
- 29:29Speaker 3: a little bit about that and how it's changed over
- 29:31Speaker 3: these last couple of years since they condensed everything and
- 29:35Speaker 3: you don't have guys running fifty yards and then making
- 29:37Speaker 3: a hit.
- 29:38Speaker 1: So, Wayne, do we have the same vantage point here
- 29:42Speaker 1: of what we just watched for the public practice of
- 29:45Speaker 1: the Packers defense kind of dominated here today, I thought,
- 29:49Speaker 1: I mean, was it felt like one of the best
- 29:51Speaker 1: days for the boys in Green that we've seen all
- 29:53Speaker 1: training game?
- 29:54Speaker 3: I really thought so too. The pressure, as you mentioned
- 29:56Speaker 3: time and again on Jordan Love. You know, the analytics
- 30:01Speaker 3: say Jordan wasn't as good under pressure. I don't know
- 30:04Speaker 3: who is as good under pressure as they are without
- 30:07Speaker 3: pressure in a clean pocket. But Jordan is getting a
- 30:10Speaker 3: lot of work against pressure in this camp, and I
- 30:12Speaker 3: would imagine during the regular season's his numbers will improve
- 30:16Speaker 3: in that particular category.
- 30:18Speaker 1: And Matt lafore mentioned on Wednesday they might show probably
- 30:22Speaker 1: a little bit more than you normally would and enjoint practice,
- 30:25Speaker 1: knowing as he said, that film's not going anywhere.
- 30:27Speaker 3: And the film's not going anywhere, and and the other
- 30:31Speaker 3: factor is this, the Packers aren't going to send the
- 30:34Speaker 3: Cardinals film anywhere either. We're not gonna send a reel
- 30:37Speaker 3: to Sean McVay. So no, I think you're right, and
- 30:40Speaker 3: that'll be a treat for us. We'll get to see
- 30:42Speaker 3: these two teams do some of what they might do
- 30:44Speaker 3: during the regular season in that practice. Now it'll be vanilla,
- 30:48Speaker 3: and they're just evaluating people in the game on Friday night.
- 30:52Speaker 3: I understand how that works, folks. They're just evaluating people,
- 30:55Speaker 3: So they'll go vanilla. They'll see who can match up
- 30:58Speaker 3: and who can cover, who can tack that kind of thing.
- 31:01Speaker 3: That's what they're looking for in the game. But in practice,
- 31:03Speaker 3: if you come to practice, you're liable to see more
- 31:05Speaker 3: of what these teams have planned for the regular season,
- 31:08Speaker 3: and you're.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Going to see some more of the guys that are
- 31:10Speaker 1: gonna be main contributors. Right You're you're not going to
- 31:12Speaker 1: see Jeremiah Love on the Arizona sideline on Friday night.
- 31:16Speaker 1: You'll see him almost likely on Wednesday.
- 31:18Speaker 4: If he plays.
- 31:18Speaker 3: I mean, he's been banged up and injured a little bit,
- 31:21Speaker 3: but if he plays.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Yeah, and even the wide receiver Marsha part of me,
- 31:27Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison, who you know, talent wise, I still think
- 31:31Speaker 1: is as good as a lot of wide receivers in football,
- 31:33Speaker 1: just production wise, hasn't necessarily put it all together so far.
- 31:36Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you're right.
- 31:37Speaker 3: And it's been kind of curious about that they've had
- 31:39Speaker 3: the quarterback change last year out there in Arizona. You know,
- 31:43Speaker 3: Kndler Murray kind of washed out. Jacoby Brissett is in
- 31:46Speaker 3: there now, and and so I think this is a big.
- 31:49Speaker 4: Year for Marvin Harrison. Wouldn't you think, oh, huge, you know,
- 31:52Speaker 4: big year.
- 31:54Speaker 1: When your name starts getting attached to trade conversations in
- 31:57Speaker 1: your third year. Uh, it's a massive one. And for
- 32:00Speaker 1: a different brain trust coming in. But if you're an
- 32:03Speaker 1: offensive head coach, I imagine he was one of the
- 32:06Speaker 1: reasons why you liked the job.
- 32:07Speaker 5: I think, so, yeah, exactly, one of the guys that
- 32:09Speaker 5: you're taking a job because of Zier Franklin.
- 32:13Speaker 1: Very much a solid practice here today, but hard to
- 32:16Speaker 1: say one of the main stars of practice wasn't Edrin Cooper.
- 32:19Speaker 3: Edrin Cooper Keishaw and Nixon looked had an interception, So
- 32:25Speaker 3: it'll be it'll be interesting to see how the whole
- 32:27Speaker 3: thing develops. But you know, uh, I would think this
- 32:31Speaker 3: is going to be an interesting practice We've got coming up.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Very much so, and we'll get a chance to see
- 32:36Speaker 1: the Packers pass rushers go up against a different offensive line.
- 32:40Speaker 4: Uh.
- 32:41Speaker 1: That I'm excited to see because there was a lot
- 32:42Speaker 1: of pressures. You mentioned in the face of Jordan Love.
- 32:44Speaker 1: Is that to be worried about the Packers offensive line
- 32:47Speaker 1: or more hopeful on the Packers rush.
- 32:49Speaker 3: Well, I think it's hopeful on the Packers rush. Let's
- 32:52Speaker 3: go with that. That's what I like a lot better.
- 32:54Speaker 3: We are we have enough time to worry about the
- 32:56Speaker 3: regular season offensive line protection.
- 32:59Speaker 2: Luckily there's play of it.
- 33:00Speaker 3: But what was good to see today, folks, was the
- 33:02Speaker 3: starting line as we believe it's going to be in Minnesota,
- 33:06Speaker 3: was on the field today and getting some good work in.
- 33:09Speaker 3: That was good to see again Banks at left guard.
- 33:12Speaker 3: You had Monk and right guard. You know, it was
- 33:16Speaker 3: good to see Baco bywell A and right tackle, and
- 33:19Speaker 3: he spent the whole practice. I think this is this
- 33:22Speaker 3: is the line we're going to take into the season,
- 33:24Speaker 3: and Billy, I'll be really disappointed if they're not better
- 33:27Speaker 3: this year than they were a year ago.
- 33:29Speaker 4: I think they're gonna be a lot better.
- 33:30Speaker 1: Yeah, and and some would say hard to be worse.
- 33:32Speaker 1: But you see teams in football every year somehow go
- 33:35Speaker 1: down in performance, but with consistency and the physicality that
- 33:40Speaker 1: I think they're going to play with. Jordan Morrien's a
- 33:42Speaker 1: physical player over on the left side. Zach is very,
- 33:45Speaker 1: very talented, and Jacob Monk has earned that right guard job.
- 33:49Speaker 1: If indeed he locks that one up, which I think
- 33:51Speaker 1: we both believe he will, I think it's because of
- 33:53Speaker 1: how well he's played.
- 33:54Speaker 2: It hasn't been just given to.
- 33:55Speaker 3: Him, no, and they like his play style. Now he's
- 33:58Speaker 3: a third year player. It's taken some time. He came
- 34:01Speaker 3: in here as a center out of Duke, but you know,
- 34:03Speaker 3: he's a guy that they really have developed on that
- 34:06Speaker 3: offensive line, and I think that's uh. I'm looking forward
- 34:10Speaker 3: to seeing what he does. But they really do like
- 34:12Speaker 3: his play style and the edge he brings to that
- 34:15Speaker 3: offensive line.
- 34:16Speaker 1: Hopefully you come on out and join us on Wednesday.
- 34:19Speaker 1: If you do not, make sure you're right back here.

- 34:41Speaker 1: Laflour here on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
- 34:44Speaker 6: And I know you're in the day to day, yew.
- 34:47Speaker 7: Special will be to be able to say pill coucher.
- 34:50Speaker 6: With your brothers in this year. That's gonna be a
- 34:51Speaker 6: pretty cool experience.
- 34:53Speaker 8: It's not the first time, but certainly the first time
- 34:55Speaker 8: is head coaches. So I talked to him last night
- 34:59Speaker 8: just kind of trying to f analyze the details and
- 35:01Speaker 8: the plan for practice and look forward to seeing them
- 35:05Speaker 8: how much.
- 35:06Speaker 9: International during the during the week have been staying on
- 35:09Speaker 9: the league and plan.
- 35:11Speaker 1: My dad.
- 35:12Speaker 8: Yeah, we're gonna We're gonna do something with our staffs together.
- 35:15Speaker 6: And it's not the first time we've done that.
- 35:17Speaker 8: We've done that with other teams that have come in
- 35:20Speaker 8: where we get together after the practice.
- 35:25Speaker 7: Do another coach in terms of a joint practice, but
- 35:28Speaker 7: Is this been different working with the bunner anyway.
- 35:31Speaker 8: Yeah, he's quick to criticize everything that I put on
- 35:34Speaker 8: the schedule.
- 35:34Speaker 6: So he's like, why are we doing this? Why are
- 35:37Speaker 6: we doing that?
- 35:38Speaker 8: We never do this, And I was like, all right, Mike,
- 35:40Speaker 8: you got all the answers. So but now it's been
- 35:45Speaker 8: it's been healthy, it's been good. So there's there's been
- 35:48Speaker 8: give and take on both sides for sure. Brought them
- 35:51Speaker 8: back to the other way at all or just one Yeah,
- 35:53Speaker 8: it's it's pretty much one way cool because.
- 35:58Speaker 3: There's not many times that it's been are against what
- 36:01Speaker 3: I'm saying it's from a personal.
- 36:03Speaker 6: Experience, is it?
- 36:05Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 36:06Speaker 6: I think it's going to be pretty special.
- 36:08Speaker 8: But at the end of the day, we're just looking
- 36:11Speaker 8: for to try to get good work, you know, both sides.
- 36:16Speaker 6: You know, certainly always going.
- 36:19Speaker 8: To prioritize the Green Bay Packers, but if there is
- 36:22Speaker 8: another team in the National Football League that I'll be
- 36:24Speaker 8: rooting for, it will be the Arizona Cardinals.
- 36:27Speaker 6: What are your parents wearing crept That's a heck of
- 36:29Speaker 6: a question.
- 36:32Speaker 8: They'll probably look like a Christmas tree, you know, green
- 36:35Speaker 8: and red.
- 36:36Speaker 9: From the game, or what do you thought would work
- 36:38Speaker 9: that he's put in to put himself in this position
- 36:41Speaker 9: now to be in the same spot as he as
- 36:42Speaker 9: a head coaching lead.
- 36:44Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's it's a byproduct of a lot
- 36:46Speaker 8: of things. I'd say, certainly, you know, he's never shied
- 36:51Speaker 8: away from the work. He's earned the opportunity. And then
- 36:55Speaker 8: it's also you know, we've both been fortunate to be
- 36:59Speaker 8: around a lot of great people, and this doesn't happen
- 37:02Speaker 8: unless you get those experiences and learn from some of
- 37:05Speaker 8: the best in football. So, but it is it's cool
- 37:10Speaker 8: to see him get a shot.
- 37:12Speaker 9: Have you've given him just basically given your experience as
- 37:14Speaker 9: being reversed the first time.
- 37:16Speaker 6: I couldn't. I can't tell you anything specifically.
- 37:20Speaker 8: I think one thing that I think he does a
- 37:23Speaker 8: great job is he's going to be himself. And I
- 37:26Speaker 8: think that's that's where it always starts. You've got to
- 37:28Speaker 8: be authentic and true to who you are and your
- 37:31Speaker 8: core values and beliefs, and I don't think he'll ever
- 37:35Speaker 8: try to be anybody other than himself.
- 37:37Speaker 7: So much on your plate, mat But are these the
- 37:40Speaker 7: moments where you get in the stadium and you soak
- 37:41Speaker 7: it up and go, this is cool?
- 37:43Speaker 6: And your family.
- 37:44Speaker 8: Well, I'm sure when that moment comes, I really haven't
- 37:48Speaker 8: put too much thought into that, but I'm sure when
- 37:51Speaker 8: it comes, it'll be a special moment.
- 37:55Speaker 7: You can get more out of this joint practice, Like
- 37:58Speaker 7: can you run more stuff? You don't play them in
- 38:01Speaker 7: the playoffs? He's your brother, you know, and your task
- 38:03Speaker 7: can kind of you know, get together. Could you run
- 38:07Speaker 7: more different stuff than me?
- 38:08Speaker 8: Well, I think there's there's certainly a trust factor there
- 38:11Speaker 8: that the film's not going to go anywhere. If there is,
- 38:14Speaker 8: there's gonna be a problem. So yeah, I think certainly
- 38:19Speaker 8: can potentially open it up a little bit more.
- 38:24Speaker 1: What was the situation with Warren Brinston and him not
- 38:26Speaker 1: playing in that game?
- 38:28Speaker 8: Yeah, it just happened in warm ups. He felt a
- 38:31Speaker 8: little tweak in his calf, and so he'll miss a
- 38:36Speaker 8: little bit of time.
- 38:38Speaker 6: You're going to get or is it back this week?
- 38:40Speaker 9: And then if you do, are you going to maybe
- 38:44Speaker 9: another roof to bring in another caper?
- 38:47Speaker 8: Well, I think I think he's getting closer to say
- 38:50Speaker 8: that he'll be back this week. I think it might
- 38:53Speaker 8: be too soon to say, but I know he's getting close.
- 38:58Speaker 8: Jas He's he'll be limited in all team periods. But
- 39:03Speaker 8: he'll be out there practicing. Oh yeah, he should be fine.
- 39:10Speaker 8: He should be good to go, going back to joint practices.
- 39:17Speaker 9: How things kind of evolved for you in terms of
- 39:20Speaker 9: what you want to do in it, how.
- 39:22Speaker 6: Much you want to show.
- 39:23Speaker 9: Like in nineteen right, Bagano's brother was on the Texan staff.
- 39:27Speaker 4: I don't know if that affected.
- 39:29Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that's certainly affected then.
- 39:32Speaker 9: But then you know Sala who you can trust. Sure,
- 39:34Speaker 9: So how just how how do you kind of approach
- 39:37Speaker 9: it different years?
- 39:38Speaker 8: Well, I think every every year is a little bit
- 39:41Speaker 8: different in terms of who you're playing. Certainly, look at
- 39:45Speaker 8: the connections that somebody may have. That was a great
- 39:47Speaker 8: example in nineteen So we're a little bit you know,
- 39:52Speaker 8: kept things a little bit tighter. But I think every
- 39:56Speaker 8: situation is a little bit different in terms of who
- 39:59Speaker 8: you're going against and
