08/20/26 - Hour 2 · The Huddle

0:00
Speaker 1: Blowing through a Thursday in the good Land.
0:02
Speaker 2: It's the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew Olsen, Bill
0:05
Speaker 2: schmid Arman, Sorry and your tag team partners here as
0:08
Speaker 2: we navigate through the six pm or six am hour,
0:12
Speaker 2: six pm six am hour here at headquarter is going
0:16
Speaker 2: to be a lovely day Brewers Mariners today at one o'clock.
0:19
Speaker 3: And a good day to be on the first base
0:22
Speaker 3: side right like this is the this is the ticket
0:26
Speaker 3: selection day where if you if you go to a
0:29
Speaker 3: day game at American Family Field, you definitely want somebody
0:33
Speaker 3: experienced picking out the Picking.
0:35
Speaker 2: Up seventy eight degrees on the third base side will
0:38
Speaker 2: feel like one hundred and ten.
0:39
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. You'll think that you're an old town
0:41
Speaker 1: scottste feels like temperature will be intense there.
0:45
Speaker 3: And you always believe, Drew, the sun is moving like you.
0:48
Speaker 3: You will convince yourself sitting in one twenty seven, like, hey,
0:51
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna get shade by about the fifteens,
0:53
Speaker 3: it'll last. I think it's gonna move over, and I
0:55
Speaker 3: think we're gonna be good.
0:57
Speaker 1: Narrator. You were never good. You were in the.
1:00
Speaker 2: Between the third base dugout and home plate you start
1:02
Speaker 2: and then it quickly does move.
1:04
Speaker 1: But it's pretty wild.
1:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, say right by the press box that one. You
1:08
Speaker 3: will get a little bit in that they do.
1:10
Speaker 1: They manipulate the roof a little bit. You'll move around.
1:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's gonna be Ryan Brawn's gotta be happy
1:15
Speaker 3: about that big time. If anybody, if anybody wants configuration.
1:20
Speaker 3: He looks at it and smiles. And I had I
1:22
Speaker 3: had some significantly. I yeah, that was his lasting impact
1:26
Speaker 3: on the on the current. I make real other things.
1:30
Speaker 2: But all right eight seven seven seven nine to the
1:33
Speaker 2: Nicola dot com talk and text on. We were just
1:35
Speaker 2: talking about possible concerns and just like there's observations about
1:40
Speaker 2: Cooper Pratt, Luis Lara, the two rookies last night didn't
1:43
Speaker 2: come through in situations where they had chances. Now, it
1:46
Speaker 2: could happen to anybody, and then there are other players
1:48
Speaker 2: slumping and it's just one little thing, but it may
1:51
Speaker 2: made me think, all right, well, what if that pops
1:52
Speaker 2: up in the postseason and will that be one of
1:54
Speaker 2: the narratives and that will will that be possible? Now
1:58
Speaker 2: as I shift my eye doesn't shift my gaze two
2:02
Speaker 2: hours north of our perch, certainly looks like Billy and
2:09
Speaker 2: there's a lot of ballgame left in camp, but it
2:11
Speaker 2: certainly looks like Brandon ces is going to be starting
2:13
Speaker 2: when against Justin Jefferson and company in week one.
2:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't look like it looks like baptism by
2:18
Speaker 3: fire for the young man, because while we were up
2:21
Speaker 3: there on Tuesday rotating through and I know, practice yesterday
2:24
Speaker 3: pretty much the exact same deal it was Brandon cis
2:28
Speaker 3: and then let everybody else rotate in on the other
2:30
Speaker 3: side and figure out that side, because number two is
2:33
Speaker 3: gonna lock down half of the field. And whether or
2:37
Speaker 3: not Drew he walks in and is an All Pro,
2:39
Speaker 3: whether he walks in and is a competent NFL starter,
2:44
Speaker 3: there's no better training for pro football than going up
2:47
Speaker 3: against the guys that he's going to go up against
2:49
Speaker 3: in the first four or five weeks. I mean, like
2:50
Speaker 3: Wayne and I went through the list of players. Obviously,
2:54
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison the headliner that might be the
2:56
Speaker 3: best wide receiver duo in the division for sure. Yeah,
3:01
Speaker 3: best one right behind Pooka and Adams in the NFC, right,
3:05
Speaker 3: Like I mean, Cooper Cuppen, JSN and Seattle extremely good
3:09
Speaker 3: like that. That's a tough one where Coop sat in
3:11
Speaker 3: his career, maybe different, but you're gonna go up against
3:13
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson in week number two, no slouch, thirty million
3:17
Speaker 3: guy for a real reason in a multiple time thousand
3:19
Speaker 3: yard dude. Drake London just got paid as one of
3:21
Speaker 3: the best wide receivers in football, rightfully so. And Mecha
3:24
Speaker 3: Buka and Chris Godwin's made a bunch of Pro Bowls
3:26
Speaker 3: and Buka last year Week five or six, people thought
3:29
Speaker 3: he was gonna walk away with Offensive Rookie of the
3:31
Speaker 3: Year before he slid down. And then you get maybe
3:34
Speaker 3: a little bit of a reprieve front with Week number
3:37
Speaker 3: five in Chicago. They love those weapons over there with
3:40
Speaker 3: Burden and the DUNSA and I mean they basically gave
3:43
Speaker 3: ship Dj Moore out to give those guys more reps.
3:47
Speaker 3: And then it's Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens. I'm on,
3:50
Speaker 3: Ross Saint Brown and Jamison Williams like that. That is
3:52
Speaker 3: a legit run of wide receivers that you're facing off
3:56
Speaker 3: with in the first six weeks, six seven weeks, and
3:59
Speaker 3: it's gonna be You're gonna learn a hell of a
4:02
Speaker 3: lot about the young man, but it appears they've learned
4:05
Speaker 3: enough right now, you know, he's one of their best
4:07
Speaker 3: options and now we're gonna figure out the other side.
4:09
Speaker 4: And that's the thing when you when you think about
4:11
Speaker 4: how stacked that position group is these days in this
4:13
Speaker 4: era of football, especially in the NFC, and you know,
4:17
Speaker 4: when you look back on it, if you win an
4:18
Speaker 4: All Pro and not at that position, you're gonna have
4:21
Speaker 4: to really have done something in this era because I
4:24
Speaker 4: think it started, you know when when receivers started to
4:28
Speaker 4: be in vogue so much, five, ten, fifteen years ago,
4:31
Speaker 4: and then you started to see so many talent rich
4:33
Speaker 4: draft classes coming through with receivers. You're seeing the results
4:36
Speaker 4: of that now, so so many great players in that league.
4:38
Speaker 4: But then it's that every action has an opposite reaction
4:42
Speaker 4: and and it's always been that. To your mention the
4:45
Speaker 4: cornerbacks and how important those guys have been in that
4:47
Speaker 4: position because you're stopping and you always say it, Billy,
4:50
Speaker 4: the most expensive connections in the NFL. So CSA's development
4:54
Speaker 4: is going to be super important for this team. And
4:57
Speaker 4: there's no you know, there's no time for always and
5:00
Speaker 4: all that packers are going to need help in that position.
5:02
Speaker 4: They're hopefully getting it with him because you know, the
5:05
Speaker 4: lightning rout of Kishawn Nixon, all those things going on,
5:08
Speaker 4: you know, So there's always gonna be times when you
5:11
Speaker 4: get beat as a cornerback in this league, with this
5:14
Speaker 4: type of quarterbacks and receivers and the way football is
5:17
Speaker 4: clockwork these days, for offenses, it's gonna look bad sometimes
5:20
Speaker 4: just can you contain the madness? That's the goal for
5:22
Speaker 4: cornerbacks well.
5:23
Speaker 3: And for for this group and the three playing for
5:27
Speaker 3: one spot of Saint ju Just Valentine and the aforementioned
5:30
Speaker 3: Kishaw Nixon Drew. I don't know who Packers fans want
5:33
Speaker 3: to win the job, but it definitely appears they don't
5:36
Speaker 3: want Kishan Nixon. But if he's the best option out
5:39
Speaker 3: of those three, that's gonna be an interesting thing to
5:41
Speaker 3: grapple with.
5:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, is Keishawn Nixon better than Character and Valentine?
5:48
Speaker 1: I think he.
5:48
Speaker 3: I think he's shown that he can. I think he's
5:51
Speaker 3: shown that he is. Yeah, and there's a reason why
5:53
Speaker 3: he was above him on the depth chart the last
5:55
Speaker 3: three years.
5:55
Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's like and but.
5:58
Speaker 4: That does mean he won't get beat sometimes there is
6:01
Speaker 4: there any like, you know, is there any distinction when
6:04
Speaker 4: when you're starting corner, you're a starting corner.
6:06
Speaker 2: But it's like he's the number one corner. It's like,
6:08
Speaker 2: you know, like we say with he's an ace, he's
6:10
Speaker 2: a number one? Do we say that because like packers
6:14
Speaker 2: traditionally have not used a corner to the shadow shadow
6:18
Speaker 2: they don't They just do you play your side up there?
6:20
Speaker 4: You're playing one side or the other. Yeah, So is
6:23
Speaker 4: there that distinction?
6:24
Speaker 1: I think that there will be.
6:27
Speaker 3: Maybe, I think in the player's minds there is, right,
6:29
Speaker 3: because everybody's always ranking each other. Right, everybody's doing it,
6:32
Speaker 3: whether it's in in preps and in seventh and eighth
6:36
Speaker 3: grade when somebody first comes out with their preseason rankings
6:39
Speaker 3: of players in AAU or high school in college, everybody's
6:42
Speaker 3: trying to Uh. But for for where they play now,
6:46
Speaker 3: I will say, you've seen c s lineup on both sides,
6:49
Speaker 3: So I don't know, Maybe Drew, they're finding which one
6:51
Speaker 3: they'll be most comfortable with.
6:53
Speaker 1: Maybe Gannon does.
6:54
Speaker 3: Want to follow a little bit more than others, and
6:57
Speaker 3: maybe he feels like that's more of an advantage. But
7:00
Speaker 3: the tough thing about following is then you're clearly indicating
7:04
Speaker 3: where you believe you are weakest at and where you
7:06
Speaker 3: are most susceptible. And if you're going to follow teams
7:09
Speaker 3: now are so good schematically that you're giving away a
7:13
Speaker 3: lot of what you're doing on defense, and for a
7:14
Speaker 3: team that wants to disguise a lot, I just don't
7:16
Speaker 3: think they're gonna do that. I also believe that the
7:21
Speaker 3: not wanting to return. I want to focus on special
7:24
Speaker 3: I want to focus on corner. I want to I'm
7:26
Speaker 3: going to be the number one corner, so I need
7:27
Speaker 3: to play cornerback. Uh. There's everything that has come out
7:31
Speaker 3: of Kishawn Nixon's mouth right or wrong, has aggravated fans
7:36
Speaker 3: right and is rubbed fans the wrong way. So the key,
7:39
Speaker 3: the cornerback one is the tag that everybody has. There's
7:43
Speaker 3: not a lot of starting corners that are returning kicks
7:46
Speaker 3: in the NFL, Like I've gone back to that consistently.
7:49
Speaker 3: There's just not that guy around the league. Maybe there's
7:52
Speaker 3: one or two that I'm forgetting about in New England,
7:56
Speaker 3: but like their number one guy, Christian Gonzalez, is not
7:58
Speaker 3: returning kicks, so they'll put that in the mind.
8:02
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be returning kicks.
8:03
Speaker 3: He'll be focusing on defense and he needs to because
8:06
Speaker 3: he's he's in a battle. I think Valentine is an
8:09
Speaker 3: intriguing option. They've liked him for a while. Remember seventh
8:12
Speaker 3: round Rookie drew that all of a sudden so that
8:14
Speaker 3: the Chiefs game at Lambeau that he really burst onto
8:17
Speaker 3: the scene. And coincidentally, so Keishaw Nixon was the one
8:20
Speaker 3: that came up with a big interception in that Sunday
8:22
Speaker 3: night came against Kansas City. So I'll be interested to
8:26
Speaker 3: see if something changes significantly before they play in Minnesota.
8:31
Speaker 3: But the biggest one is I don't believe they're ever
8:35
Speaker 3: set like any anything that breeds comfortability with the players
8:39
Speaker 3: and complacency as to where you're at. Matt Lafleour is
8:42
Speaker 3: gonna shake that thing up. I think they're gonna rotate
8:44
Speaker 3: at offensive line. I don't think they're gonna set five
8:48
Speaker 3: and just forget about it. As much as people would
8:49
Speaker 3: like them to. They've rotated every single year at least
8:52
Speaker 3: one of the spots, and I think that for the
8:54
Speaker 3: first few weeks there's gonna be a number of different
8:58
Speaker 3: groupings that happen in that cornerback room on the field,
9:01
Speaker 3: and maybe Nixon's getting the large majority of snaps, maybe
9:04
Speaker 3: Valentine sneaking in for some but it seems like both
9:06
Speaker 3: I think are going to.
9:07
Speaker 1: Play at some how.
9:08
Speaker 2: Would this conversation be different if the Packers had held
9:11
Speaker 2: on to Trayvon Diggs, who yesterday signed with Seattle because
9:16
Speaker 2: they know that well Terry and Arnold's could have some
9:18
Speaker 2: problems for a couple of weeks and games, but they
9:22
Speaker 2: signed him.
9:23
Speaker 1: The Super Bowl champs took a flyer.
9:24
Speaker 2: Now the Packers took a flyer and decided not to
9:26
Speaker 2: What did they see that they didn't like?
9:28
Speaker 1: What did they it? Was it a chemistry thing?
9:31
Speaker 3: Was it a I think the biggest one that they
9:33
Speaker 3: I think the biggest one they didn't like was him
9:34
Speaker 3: backpedaling away from the tackle in in Chicago on the
9:37
Speaker 3: tunnel screen.
9:38
Speaker 1: But I just I think that a few of those,
9:43
Speaker 1: but it's not exclusive.
9:44
Speaker 3: I think he was The Trayvon Diggs pairing was probably
9:48
Speaker 3: gone when they brought in Saint just right like, I
9:52
Speaker 3: think that was their vet to give a shot to
9:54
Speaker 3: and see because I think you did see the legs
9:57
Speaker 3: are probably.
9:57
Speaker 4: A little gone on Trayvon Diggs, like twenty seven.
10:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, the peak of his powers, but he looks like
10:02
Speaker 1: he's cooked. It's funny.
10:03
Speaker 3: A lot of football though, right, I mean played a
10:05
Speaker 3: lot of ball, And that's the other thing.
10:06
Speaker 1: Drew he played under Sabin in college.
10:09
Speaker 3: Like so that I've I've struggled often with guys that
10:12
Speaker 3: do train in the secondary room under Nick Saban of like, hey, man,
10:16
Speaker 3: if anybody's gonna tap all the potential out of you, yeah,
10:19
Speaker 3: it's probably gonna be the greatest guy of all time.
10:21
Speaker 2: He's kind of like a college baseball coach burning out
10:24
Speaker 2: pictures because I don't care what I don't care what
10:26
Speaker 2: they do after.
10:27
Speaker 1: I don't care what you're doing.
10:29
Speaker 3: But then, I mean, then Pat Tartan is the best
10:31
Speaker 3: corner in football, so like it can work both ways.
10:35
Speaker 3: I just I would be I think there's a reason
10:38
Speaker 3: why he stuck around and was out there so long.
10:40
Speaker 3: That the Seahawks are rather desperate at corner. And I
10:43
Speaker 3: didn't realize that, Like I didn't realize how desperate they
10:46
Speaker 3: were after they Letreek Woolan walk to the Eagles during
10:49
Speaker 3: free agency.
10:50
Speaker 1: Who played a bunch of ball for them.
10:52
Speaker 3: But you just think of Devin Witherspoon and they'll figure
10:55
Speaker 3: it out elsewhere. But they've been grabbing anybody off the
10:59
Speaker 3: street to try to come up in there and play defense.
11:00
Speaker 4: And I'm sure a lot of teams feel that way.
11:03
Speaker 4: I mean, that's just the air of this league. A
11:04
Speaker 4: lot of conversations that we're having are probably ones that
11:07
Speaker 4: fan bases are having on the league of while we
11:09
Speaker 4: need more depth of corner, are our corner is gonna
11:11
Speaker 4: be good enough? Because in your mind, you want shutdowns
11:14
Speaker 4: all the time, and the way passing offenses go, you're
11:16
Speaker 4: not gonna see that on fit. You know, you're not
11:18
Speaker 4: gonna watch that. You're not gonna see it happen on
11:20
Speaker 4: your TV or even if you're laughing a game or
11:22
Speaker 4: passes will be completed like like, And so that's just
11:25
Speaker 4: the way it is. So I wonder if a lot
11:27
Speaker 4: of fan bases are having the same conversation. But yeah,
11:31
Speaker 4: Seattle is a good point, Like there's probably teams across
11:34
Speaker 4: the league that are looking for those guys, Yeah, looking.
11:36
Speaker 2: That they're looking for the third corner and it's Terry
11:39
Speaker 2: and Arnold, Well might he might miss a while, but.
11:42
Speaker 1: We'll take him at just in case.
11:44
Speaker 2: And then to get it to bite our time until
11:46
Speaker 2: he is available.
11:48
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at Trayvon diggs well.
11:49
Speaker 3: And the other one is for what happens in at corner,
11:54
Speaker 3: how much of it is drew for like who's rotating
11:56
Speaker 3: in and who's gonna be getting snaps. However, healthy Javon
11:59
Speaker 3: Bullard is going to be is a factor, and as
12:02
Speaker 3: Katano Ldappo played his way into, like, hey, if we
12:04
Speaker 3: feel at certain groupings and certain matchups, we'll send him
12:09
Speaker 3: in before we send in a third corner like that,
12:11
Speaker 3: They'll they'll weave things around where they They have a
12:16
Speaker 3: lot of guys in the back end that they feel
12:17
Speaker 3: somewhat comfortable in coverage, but more of them are safeties
12:21
Speaker 3: than corners. And I think that safety room there might
12:24
Speaker 3: be even more bodies in there than at the end
12:26
Speaker 3: of the day there are in the cornerback room. That's
12:28
Speaker 3: going to be an oddity around baseball or around football.
12:31
Speaker 3: Part of me, Yeah, like you said, I'm looking at
12:33
Speaker 3: this Matt Tugboat Wilkerson and I'm thinking he's a football player,
12:36
Speaker 3: but he's actually a pitcher for the Giant. The Giant
12:38
Speaker 3: I love that name. They even put it up in
12:40
Speaker 3: the vote. Quote tug boat, my man is massive over
12:43
Speaker 3: here from the left side. That's phenomenal.
12:44
Speaker 4: Not to get us too off, tops, I apologize, No,
12:47
Speaker 4: it reminds me of the days back in the early
12:49
Speaker 4: aughts and the nineteen hundreds where every guy in baseball
12:52
Speaker 4: had a great nickname.
12:52
Speaker 1: You know, you look up those old basil you know,
12:55
Speaker 1: like high Pockets.
12:56
Speaker 4: And Lefty and Crazy Crazy Jones and Big Marbles McGee
13:00
Speaker 4: and all these guys.
13:01
Speaker 1: Man, we need a couple of tugboats.
13:03
Speaker 3: And you know you had a couple of row chemps
13:06
Speaker 3: in there and then fired in Lefty.
13:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, left he's pretty basic. I guess.
13:11
Speaker 4: Yeah.
13:12
Speaker 1: Listen, you gotta have a single in there in the
13:13
Speaker 1: midst of a bunch of home You can do it.
13:15
Speaker 4: I mean you can look up any nineteen hundreds MLB
13:18
Speaker 4: reference lineup and find them.
13:20
Speaker 1: Well.
13:20
Speaker 3: Well, that's a talk about might be the new uh
13:23
Speaker 3: nickname for Paul Skins if he continues to slide on
13:27
Speaker 3: the velocity. There's a lot of nicknames though, that people
13:29
Speaker 3: have for Keisha on Nixon. None of them glowing online Drew,
13:32
Speaker 3: none of them glowing what where when you see coming
13:36
Speaker 3: up this weekend? Because they're going to have a number
13:38
Speaker 3: of those guys are going to play, right, like the
13:40
Speaker 3: c is going to play, I would assume with maybe
13:44
Speaker 3: it matters, maybe it doesn't. I wonder if he gets
13:46
Speaker 3: reps with Nixon on the other side, with Valentine on
13:49
Speaker 3: the other side, if they rotate through all of those
13:51
Speaker 3: guys with the ones.
13:52
Speaker 1: Uh.
13:52
Speaker 3: But you can color me shocked as somebody as it's
13:57
Speaker 3: expected that Love and more of the first teamers are
13:59
Speaker 3: going to go coming up on Friday night. I did
14:02
Speaker 3: think that they were gonna punt this one and wait
14:04
Speaker 3: for the joint practice. I thought, But here we are,
14:07
Speaker 3: you know, some thirty six hours away, thirty eight hours
14:09
Speaker 3: away from kickoff, and it sounds like there's gonna be
14:11
Speaker 3: some real dudes out there for the Packers coming up tomorrow.
14:14
Speaker 1: Done.
14:15
Speaker 3: They got to get to their thirty snaps, right, They
14:18
Speaker 3: got to gotta get to those thirty reps, which I do.
14:21
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to be.
14:21
Speaker 3: Able to give me where that where that data came from,
14:23
Speaker 3: because the NFL is amazing at being able to find
14:26
Speaker 3: data when it helps them out. I mean, like when
14:28
Speaker 3: when it means get our players on the field and
14:31
Speaker 3: make the television product a little better.
14:33
Speaker 1: Drew.
14:33
Speaker 3: That stuff gets expedited to a lot of it boxes
14:36
Speaker 3: pretty quickly ate it.
14:37
Speaker 4: There are certain guys that want to see just because
14:39
Speaker 4: it's been fun to watch, Like Matthew Golden, like has
14:42
Speaker 4: been really good.
14:42
Speaker 1: Obviously want to see him.
14:44
Speaker 4: Certain guys I want to see because we haven't but
14:46
Speaker 4: then like I don't want to see because I get nervous.
14:48
Speaker 1: Marsha On Lloyd's that guy.
14:49
Speaker 4: Like marsh On Lloyd you want to see play because
14:52
Speaker 4: you haven't gotten a chance to see it much, so
14:54
Speaker 4: you're anxious to see what he could do, and that
14:56
Speaker 4: might be a very important guy. The way things shake
14:58
Speaker 4: off for the Packers this year in the runningack, But
15:01
Speaker 4: isn't it feel like we're we're getting away with it
15:03
Speaker 4: every time he gets back up?
15:04
Speaker 1: I don't know.
15:05
Speaker 4: I still feel that way about Marshawn Lloyd, So it
15:07
Speaker 4: makes me nervous in a way that I'm like, well,
15:09
Speaker 4: I don't want him out there then because I don't
15:11
Speaker 4: want chances of him getting hurt. But then I'm like,
15:13
Speaker 4: you can't look at it that way.
15:15
Speaker 3: You gotta look around the league and see all of
15:17
Speaker 3: the teams that are dropping guys out Like yesterday, Jaydon
15:19
Speaker 3: Higgins second year wide out for the top was his
15:22
Speaker 3: ACL out.
15:23
Speaker 1: He's done for the year.
15:25
Speaker 3: Tyler Warren went down in practice for the Colts earlier
15:28
Speaker 3: on this week, and there's been a number of teams
15:31
Speaker 3: that are losing significant players. Former Badger Tyler Biatti show
15:35
Speaker 3: was the was a big signing this offseason. Yeah, out
15:38
Speaker 3: west and and he's now out indefinitely with damage to
15:42
Speaker 3: the ACL not not necessarily a fully but damage to
15:46
Speaker 3: the ACLU and additional injuries because of the joint practice
15:49
Speaker 3: with the forty nine ers. Somebody's got to tell me
15:51
Speaker 3: where that joint practice was.
15:54
Speaker 1: Was it in San Francisco? Was it in Santa Clara?
16:00
Speaker 1: Over by that substance? Oh, that's where you're going.
16:02
Speaker 3: I was like, wait a minute, wait a minute, now,
16:04
Speaker 3: I don't know. Somebody let me know where that one was,
16:06
Speaker 3: because I would like to. I would like Tyler Biadis
16:08
Speaker 3: to be healthy and playing football, and that's just something
16:11
Speaker 3: that cannot be happening.
16:12
Speaker 1: We need to get that place up out of here.
16:14
Speaker 4: A lot of injuries, it seems like, or maybe we're
16:15
Speaker 4: just paying attention to it because they are all significant.
16:18
Speaker 1: But well, they're all significant players, aren't right.
16:20
Speaker 3: I mean those are that's the thing that a lot
16:22
Speaker 3: of these guys are, our prime dudes. That teams were
16:24
Speaker 3: banking on playing a bunch for them, and you got
16:27
Speaker 3: to figure out how you're going to be able to
16:29
Speaker 3: get yourself ready for the year while also trying to
16:32
Speaker 3: make sure that you're as healthy as humanly possible.
16:34
Speaker 4: The two things do not always go together. And yeah,
16:38
Speaker 4: very rarely never anycomeunder for teams. How much do we risk,
16:42
Speaker 4: how much do we prepare, how much we risk? It's
16:45
Speaker 4: like it's always that balancing act.
16:46
Speaker 3: Priest Hall got paid a couple of weeks ago, he's
16:48
Speaker 3: down with a groin strain.
16:50
Speaker 4: These teams just want to get through this period. They
16:51
Speaker 4: just want to get through preseasons exactly. They just want
16:54
Speaker 4: to get to games that matter and then put their
16:56
Speaker 4: guys out there.
16:56
Speaker 1: I think goal number one, because that's the thing about it.
16:58
Speaker 4: And maybe it doesn't make sense, but maybe it does
17:01
Speaker 4: that for us for some reason, in the way our
17:04
Speaker 4: minds work, our pathology, we can rationalize it if they're
17:07
Speaker 4: hurting games that matter, even though it really shouldn't matter, because.
17:10
Speaker 1: If you hurt, your hurt.
17:11
Speaker 4: But if they got hurt in the game that mattered, well,
17:14
Speaker 4: so be it.
17:15
Speaker 1: You know.
17:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's like when you when you fill up
17:17
Speaker 3: on the Brett at Texas Roadhouse.
17:19
Speaker 1: I didn't get my best meet.
17:20
Speaker 3: I didn't get the best part of the meal yet,
17:22
Speaker 3: although even though you're fully there way that honey cinnamon butter,
17:25
Speaker 3: it might he and I have a run at being
17:27
Speaker 3: the best part of the meal. One of the things
17:28
Speaker 3: that I will be watching for Drew. We talked about
17:30
Speaker 3: drama yesterday. We talked about drama and Packers camp, drama
17:33
Speaker 3: in the NFL, drama in college football. I am dialed
17:36
Speaker 3: in on seeing these guys trying to potentially go back
17:40
Speaker 3: to school. There's some number of players that are in
17:43
Speaker 3: camps right now, some playing well in preseasons that are saying,
17:46
Speaker 3: wait a second, this court ruling is allowing guys to
17:49
Speaker 3: have a fifth year of college. I'm going back to school.
17:52
Speaker 3: I took a pay cut to go to the NFL.
17:54
Speaker 3: Why can't I go back to the Big ten or
17:56
Speaker 3: the SEC. There's gonna be some rulings over the next
17:59
Speaker 3: couple of days at our rather groundbreaking in football.
18:02
Speaker 1: It is gonna be very interesting.
18:03
Speaker 4: Well, let's be fair, all of you people out there,
18:06
Speaker 4: your first your first job out of college, are sitting
18:09
Speaker 4: in a cubicle.
18:09
Speaker 1: He said, Man, I wish I could go back to college,
18:13
Speaker 1: grad school.
18:13
Speaker 4: You're all out there, and you wish you could just
18:15
Speaker 4: go back to college for one more, two more years.
18:18
Speaker 1: Three more too funny, four more. I was gonna say
18:22
Speaker 1: three decades.
18:23
Speaker 2: I'd go for there you go. I love it all right.

19:04
Speaker 1: There's nothing better.
19:04
Speaker 3: I mean like the Thursday Thursday was always a tag,
19:07
Speaker 3: but then it feels like you have to go out
19:08
Speaker 3: and party.
19:09
Speaker 1: If you don't, then you feel like you're not doing
19:10
Speaker 1: it right.
19:10
Speaker 3: Friday Junior just gives you that nice little sentiment when
19:13
Speaker 3: you wake up in the morning and give you abriddy
19:15
Speaker 3: good tag.
19:15
Speaker 5: That's why I prefer to take Mondays off if I'm
19:17
Speaker 5: taking a day off during the week, because Thursday you're
19:19
Speaker 5: excited because Friday's right around the corner. Sunday, that sense
19:23
Speaker 5: of dread starts creeping in that you have to go
19:25
Speaker 5: back to work tomorrow. So I always prefer taking Monday off.
19:28
Speaker 1: He's a vet, He's so smart. That is such a
19:30
Speaker 1: good call.
19:31
Speaker 2: That is because you know, Monday is the day you're
19:33

19:36
Speaker 2: and mailing it in.

Speaker 3: Now I think I can sing a little bit. I'm
27:49
Speaker 3: gonna try. I wonder how many will try to find
27:52
Speaker 3: different ways so flood because they're around all these very
27:56
Speaker 3: rich and famous countries.
27:57
Speaker 1: You know, you know who's friends with Chase Rice?
27:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, everyone from Ben Johnson, Yeah, hig school classmates and teammates,
28:05

28:08
Speaker 5: at North Carolina. Well, I wouldn't say hell of it,
28:09
Speaker 5: but he started he was he was he six four fifty.
28:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a big son of a gun.
28:15
Speaker 3: Like you started seeing a strapping young lad, like when
28:17
Speaker 3: he was standing there on The Bachelor.
28:18
Speaker 1: Who do you think the cool one was there? Chase Rice?
28:21
Speaker 3: Oh?

Speaker 1: I think it was Chase Rice. Who do you think
28:22
Speaker 1: had the friend zone in which one got? Yeah? He
28:26
Speaker 1: played the Bears dor Man.
28:28
Speaker 5: He played halftime with the Bears Rams playoff game and
28:31
Speaker 5: it was you know, twenty below Windshill and he and
28:34
Speaker 5: on stage he ripped his shirt off.
28:35
Speaker 4: That's pretty It's pretty wild when you hear about the
28:37
Speaker 4: guys that looked like that.
28:38
Speaker 1: I'd never wear a shirt.
28:39
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, I know when you hear about the guys
28:41
Speaker 4: that went to school together and the ones that knew
28:43
Speaker 4: each other.
28:43
Speaker 1: I mean how many times we hear about Stafford and
28:45
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw.
28:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, guys lifelong friendship that played.
28:48
Speaker 4: I mean the Johnny Rockets was coached by Murphy's kid.
28:51
Speaker 1: What was it played travel ball against Murphy's.
28:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the best player on a team that
28:56
Speaker 2: ended up with some future Hall of famers on our
28:59
Speaker 2: really player.
29:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Kershaw one is fine. Could you
29:03
Speaker 3: imagine being like the third starter on that one on
29:06
Speaker 3: that rotation?
29:06
Speaker 2: Oh god, well no, like Kershaw was Stafford was his
29:10
Speaker 2: catcher and Stafford quarterback in Kershaw was Agon was.
29:15
Speaker 1: A wide receiver. Yeah.
29:16
Speaker 3: Now, Jack Flarity had a run there too, where they
29:20
Speaker 3: had like four or five different starters all in their
29:23
Speaker 3: rotation in high school that all ended up being big
29:25
Speaker 3: league players all there in that California cluster.
29:28
Speaker 1: You almost get forget about how many of them interesting. Yeah,
29:32
Speaker 1: it's pretty nuts. Nuts.
29:33
Speaker 5: Could you could probably do that with most major league rosters, right,
29:35
Speaker 5: especially with all those California guys.
29:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, the guys who played in like the area code
29:39
Speaker 2: games are now travel ball or these days, and it's
29:42
Speaker 2: in basketball especially, like guys know each other growing up.
29:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, I played against him when I was thirteen. You know.
29:47
Speaker 3: Now Max Freed and Lucas Giolito and Jack Flaherty all
29:50
Speaker 3: in the same high school rotation. That's not bad particular,
29:53
Speaker 3: that might have been tough. That might have been tough
29:55
Speaker 3: to go up against.
29:56
Speaker 4: Wow, Joseph of North Carolina saying Walkee's own Jacob Latimore.
29:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, musician had some albums.
30:00
Speaker 4: I don't know about his athletic career whatever, But I've
30:03
Speaker 4: always been as pretty accomplished singer and dancer actor, So
30:06
Speaker 4: that's pretty good.
30:07
Speaker 2: Hear my claim to famous. I've played in the same era,
30:10
Speaker 2: in the same conference as Paul Wagner.
30:13
Speaker 1: Did you face him?
30:14
Speaker 4: Oh?
30:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, we played and played hoops against him, play baseball,
30:17
Speaker 2: ja make out. I don't recall. I don't remember he
30:21
Speaker 2: he did smoke us in basketball. He had like I
30:23
Speaker 2: think he scored thirty against us.
30:24
Speaker 1: I didn't know Wes had games in hoops. Oops. Good
30:28
Speaker 1: ask guys, if you're an athlete, you were good in
30:30
Speaker 1: high school? That's great. Well, I remember John Navari slicing
30:33
Speaker 1: us up when and Greenfield? Oh yeah, John Navar, Yeah,
30:36
Speaker 1: that's back when guys would play all those sports you know.
30:39
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Well that was yeah, and you didn't get
30:41
Speaker 3: you know, chastised for it. Like when when when I
30:44
Speaker 3: was in high school and uh, Joel Stabby was getting
30:47
Speaker 3: close to committing to Wisconsin. He was on the basketball team.
30:51
Speaker 3: He was probably one of the best players. And then
30:52
Speaker 3: ultimately it was in the middle in the middle of
30:54
Speaker 3: the year, it was like, hey, how about you never
30:56
Speaker 3: do that again?
30:57
Speaker 1: How about you let's not worry about that ever again.
31:02
Speaker 1: Zach Bond from.
31:05
Speaker 3: Great Basketball Player, Great Basketball Player, also a disgusting high
31:09
Speaker 3: school football player quarterback man Billy had an audience with
31:12
Speaker 3: him at a media day at the Super Bowl. Also
31:14
Speaker 3: he was a Woodland Woodland Conference legend. Uh, there's there's
31:17
Speaker 3: a number of those. But that's the tough thing. Like,
31:19
Speaker 3: you see the best players right now, still all of
31:22
Speaker 3: them ended up playing multiple sports. But it almost feels
31:25
Speaker 3: like you have to be one of like the best
31:27
Speaker 3: athletes for the for groups and coaches to be like, yeah,
31:30
Speaker 3: you can definitely go to basketball practice and miss out
31:33
Speaker 3: on baseball open gym five months away from when we're playing,
31:36
Speaker 3: I think it will be okay.
31:37
Speaker 1: It's like it's like you have to pick a sport
31:39
Speaker 1: now when you're sick. Well, I think we've been told that.
31:41
Speaker 5: For years, where you know, with AAU and travel leagues
31:44
Speaker 5: and stuff, you're you're gonna see fewer and fewer kids
31:47
Speaker 5: playing multi sports.
31:48
Speaker 1: But you still do. You still see them kids excelling.
31:51
Speaker 5: Like you just said, man, if you're a good athlete,
31:53
Speaker 5: you're probably gonna be the at a small school.
31:55
Speaker 1: You're gonna be the quarterback in the football team. You're
31:56
Speaker 1: gonna be a pitcher on the base.
31:57
Speaker 4: Right, But if you're told you're special, aren't your pressured
32:00
Speaker 4: to specialize?
32:01
Speaker 1: Then at that point.
32:01
Speaker 5: Maybe, but you're still seeing multiple sport athletes.
32:05
Speaker 1: I'm happy to hear that across the changes. You want
32:07
Speaker 1: to endear yourself to Luke Fickle, go out for wrestling. Yeah,
32:11
Speaker 1: you'll you'll be instantly on the radar. You'll be on
32:14
Speaker 1: the radar there. Okay, all right, sweet, let's bring him in.
32:17
Speaker 1: Let's have a.
32:17
Speaker 2: Conversation that gets to the whole bigger picture thing in
32:19
Speaker 2: this era of the high school recruiting thing, do do
32:24
Speaker 2: major universities in the Power five conferences spend more of
32:27
Speaker 2: the time come in the high schools or just looking
32:29
Speaker 2: for transfer portal guys and using using the ball states
32:33
Speaker 2: and max schools and tinner schools as their feeder system.
32:36
Speaker 1: And it sucks in the minor league, it really sucks.
32:38
Speaker 2: I bet, I bet they spent way less time working
32:41
Speaker 2: with high school coaches and just developing those relationships.
32:44
Speaker 3: Well, in that that way, you probably put it a
32:46
Speaker 3: little more delicately, uh than first brush. When Luke fickle
32:50
Speaker 3: kind of frustrated a lot of folks at the Wisconsin
32:53
Speaker 3: High School Coaches Clinic when he mentioned it that way,
32:55
Speaker 3: like where we're at right now, Yeah, we definitely want
32:58
Speaker 3: to bring in high school kids because you do need
32:59
Speaker 3: to guys that are you know, program guys and you
33:02
Speaker 3: have them for four years and they care about it more.
33:05
Speaker 3: But like they brought in thirty transfers because they needed
33:08
Speaker 3: fifteen starters, right like, so you're instantly gonna go and
33:11
Speaker 3: come through.
33:12
Speaker 1: Trinidad Shambla is a great example.
33:14
Speaker 3: Played at the Fairist State, won a national title, sat
33:17
Speaker 3: for a year, and now he's the greatest thing since
33:19
Speaker 3: sliced bread in the SEC. And you're gonna see a
33:22
Speaker 3: lot more of those guys. The other one is the
33:24
Speaker 3: groupings that are coming right like rock o'beck and Matt
33:28
Speaker 3: Campbell at Penn State. The cat that he's gonna be
33:31
Speaker 3: our awaken big story here by the way, the Oklahoma
33:33
Speaker 3: State head coach. Great story about Eric Norris coming out
33:37
Speaker 3: earlier on but he went from North Texas, brought their
33:40
Speaker 3: quarterback and it's no longer just like, hey, you're gonna
33:43
Speaker 3: be our coach? What kind of program are you? Going
33:45
Speaker 3: to Instill, you know, and there was what fifteen starters
33:47
Speaker 3: are you bringing with us? Because we need to flip
33:49
Speaker 3: this thing around instantly.
33:50
Speaker 5: And before nil, there was always that question mark of well, sure,
33:53
Speaker 5: you know he was through sixty touchdowns at this school.
33:56
Speaker 5: But this is this is big time for this. We
33:58
Speaker 5: found these guys. If you're a winner, you're winner. I mean, right,
34:01
Speaker 5: I go to basketball at Iowa. You know, Ben McCollum
34:03
Speaker 5: brings Bennett Starts with him from Northwest Missouri State and
34:08
Speaker 5: can he played the Big Ten?
34:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was with the eighteenth overall pick in the
34:11
Speaker 1: NBA draft this year.
34:13
Speaker 2: Signetty brought a bunch of guys with him from how
34:17
Speaker 2: about right there wins the national championship.
34:19
Speaker 1: And we were talking.
34:20
Speaker 2: I was actually chatting with Matt Lape yesterday and like
34:23
Speaker 2: they might have brought in the kid from TCU mightd
34:25
Speaker 2: up having a better season than.
34:27
Speaker 3: He might end up being better than They got.
34:29
Speaker 1: The best free agent quarterback on the market. They went
34:32
Speaker 1: and got him.
34:32
Speaker 3: Because Signetti also does this where he had the you know,
34:35
Speaker 3: I win google me. He also one of his best
34:37
Speaker 3: statements is, h I've been in the first team All
34:39
Speaker 3: Conference quarterback every team that I've been head coach of.
34:41
Speaker 5: I love I just love how he backs up what
34:44
Speaker 5: he says. He throws shade at the SEC. It's just
34:48
Speaker 5: he's just a smack. When he walked in and said
34:51
Speaker 5: produce sucks State Michigan, let's go.

36:27
Speaker 5: farm side over it by Stanford.

36:32

36:35

36:38
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin through Billion arm and bringing it
36:41
Speaker 2: to you on this Thursday in the good Land. Got
36:44
Speaker 2: a brewise Matine today, Hunter Bombgart's gonna join us about
36:48
Speaker 2: twenty five minutes.
36:49
Speaker 1: Talk about that and calm down.
36:51
Speaker 3: Everybody freaking out about Dustin may please Hunter, Yeah maybe
36:55
Speaker 3: maybe will he will see.
36:56
Speaker 4: I mean he's good and he's been good, but with
36:59
Speaker 4: his history, there's gonna be starts like that. You know,
37:01
Speaker 4: he's gonna have traffic, He's gonna have those moments.
37:05
Speaker 2: Funky thing about the Brewers right now is they're entering
37:08
Speaker 2: a Cub stretch without playing the Cubs. They have three
37:10
Speaker 2: straight home day games.
37:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a weird oddity in the schedule, and then
37:14
Speaker 3: a Sunday night or three.
37:16
Speaker 2: Tomorrow, it is bizarre, and then one ten on Saturday
37:19
Speaker 2: so they can fly to Williamsport to play in that
37:21
Speaker 2: Little League World Series showcase on Sunday night against the
37:24
Speaker 2: Brave Brewers home game. But they have to travel to Williamsport,
37:27
Speaker 2: which isn't easy.
37:28
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I don't think there's a whole
37:30
Speaker 3: lot of direct flights and a lot of great landings
37:32
Speaker 3: landing strips there for a team plane. But I will say, Drew,
37:36
Speaker 3: I'm fired up that the Brewers are a part of it.
37:39
Speaker 3: Like watching the spectacle that the Field of Dreams thing
37:42
Speaker 3: is on Netflix. The the Williamsport game with all the
37:45
Speaker 3: kids that are going to be there in the Little
37:47
Speaker 3: League World Series busting you know, busting the seal yesterday
37:50
Speaker 3: and having some great games, a thriller as Nicaragua and
37:54
Speaker 3: the Dominican Republic. We're having an absolute battle and kid
37:57
Speaker 3: throws a seed from the from right field to be
38:00
Speaker 3: able to give Nicaragua the lead. I'm excited to be
38:03
Speaker 3: able to see the kids enjoy it. I like that
38:06
Speaker 3: the Brewers are going to be featured on it. But uh,
38:08
Speaker 3: it is an oddity in the schedule, that's for sure.
38:10
Speaker 2: Is a Williamsport Regional Airport there is east of downtown
38:14
Speaker 2: Williamsport in Montoursville, pennsylvan.
38:16
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. Actually funny. You can get in
38:21
Speaker 1: a direction shut and will fly right in.
38:24
Speaker 2: Otherwise the biggest the biggest nearby airport would be University Park,
38:28
Speaker 2: State College, Pennsylvania.
38:30
Speaker 4: That might make more our west well, because the problem
38:32
Speaker 4: is how big the runways are for the planes and stuff.
38:34
Speaker 4: It depends if they don't have big jets coming in
38:36
Speaker 4: that off and you can't necessarily just land anywhere or.
38:39
Speaker 2: Wilkes Bury, which is in sixty seven miles east those Harrisburg,
38:43
Speaker 2: which is seventy four miles.
38:44
Speaker 1: I would think those are all more likely options than
38:46
Speaker 1: you just bust it out. I think you have to
38:47
Speaker 1: bust an hour. Yeah, it's just the wide bodies building
38:50
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Don't worry.
38:51
Speaker 2: But as it is cool that two things are true.
38:53
Speaker 2: It is cool that the Brewers are playing in that game.
38:56
Speaker 2: But it's also the travel thing and off the road
39:00
Speaker 2: it's kind of a pain in the.
39:01
Speaker 3: Urse well, and especially because they travel for like the
39:03
Speaker 3: one day and then they play the Mets for three
39:06
Speaker 3: games and then they come right back right and then
39:08
Speaker 3: they go back out on the road early.
39:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they come back for three.
39:11
Speaker 2: And it'll be a quick commute, and they have a
39:13
Speaker 2: day off Monday, so it'll be a quick commute from
39:15
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania to New York and gets spent an off day
39:17
Speaker 2: New York, which isn't the worst thing, not.
39:18
Speaker 3: A bad day off. But then I'll and then you
39:20
Speaker 3: come back and then you're right back home. And then
39:22
Speaker 3: they start that tournament against the Cubs and they're right
39:24
Speaker 3: onto the road and it really kicks in man and
39:27
Speaker 3: the month of September is going.
39:29
Speaker 1: To be so fun.
39:31
Speaker 3: Definitely, with the games that you have, the matchups you have,
39:33
Speaker 3: like even the Baltimore series, you can circle up they
39:37
Speaker 3: were left for dead. They're right in the thick of
39:39
Speaker 3: it in the al and they're playing really well. There
39:42
Speaker 3: are no slouches on this schedule on the back end
39:44
Speaker 3: unless you face schemes.
39:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, they reprieve.
39:48
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe you can break, maybe you can get the
39:50
Speaker 3: lily break there on like September sixteenth.
39:53
Speaker 1: For sure. Well, Baltimore's pissed last night. Well, we'll get
39:56
Speaker 1: to that. We'll get to that. We'll get to that.
39:57
Speaker 2: Hunter's going to join us at seven to twenty five
39:59
Speaker 2: for some Brewers talk. You are hanging out with us
40:02
Speaker 2: in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin m
