  Speaker 1: Broadcasting live, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app, streaming live, Facebook X, and YouTube as well.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: We had a breakthrough. We had a revelation on the program.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Armin Sarian now understands the significance of the Earth, Wind &
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Fire song, September, especially today. That's incredible. That is just incredible.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: He just never got into the first line of the song.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, Drew, it's hard. It's hard to hear the
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: first part.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: You can generally remember the rest of it, but the
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: first words are generally the ones that you miss. Like,
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: if you missed the first couple of plays of yesterday's
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Packers game, well, you missed the part that ended up
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: being rather significant, but a good one to miss, right?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Like, you just missed the first couple. Maybe you feel
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: like you don't miss a lot of the story.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: It's not the story, but it's going to be a
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: part of the rest of the chapter book that you
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: hear of the rest of the 2026 Packers season.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: But, Armin, good work.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Well, it's called September, not September 21st, which I think
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: now is the issue. It's like I'm always a few
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: days off, unlike the old highlight recaps. So then I
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: tried to look at what else happened on September 21st.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Last year, the Brewers clinched the division on this day.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: So there's one. 2001, Drew, you remember this. You were
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: probably covering it. During a 5-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds,
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: the Brewers set a new Major League single season record
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: for team.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Strikeouts with 1,272. Oh, I remember it all too well.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: The glory days.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Now, how many times have they broken that record now?
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: That record was from 96 Tigers, and now it's got
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: to be broken.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I'll look it up for you guys. That's a great question.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I feel like they kept breaking their own record a
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: number of different times. As the strikeouts became so much
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: more prevalent, you would have told somebody in that time
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: frame that you would be seeing teams strike out at
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: the rate they are now?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I said, wait, are they still playing baseball? What kind
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: of game are we playing right now?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I Jose Hernandez, they didn't want him to break Bobby Bonds'
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: record for strikeouts in a season, which was under 200.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: It was like 185 or something like that? I think
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it was under 200. I was going to say, now
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: everybody strikes out that way. Well, I shouldn't say everybody,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: but a large portion of the league. 89 was the record,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and they didn't want Hernandez to break it. Yeah, he
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: had a good season.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Richie Sexton, one of my first favorite players, but Jose Hernandez,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I always had a soft spot in my heart for.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Watching him come up, all that bad out there. K
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: out a number of different times. So good.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: American League record is now 1654 from the Twins in 23.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: And the NL record is 1581-21 with the Padres. So
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: I don't have the full list, but obviously it's been broken.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: That's impressive stuff.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Ace and Waukesha also, with a little bit of a
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: correction on the NicoletLaw.com talking text line, mentioned highlighting and
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: celebrating Jackson Churio. Team record, first player in team history
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: to have... three 2020 seasons consecutively he said uh it's
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: not a team record it's a major league baseball record
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: well he's the youngest player to do it in major
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: league baseball the three guys that he joins right now
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: to start their careers with uh 2020 seasons consecutively yeah
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: pretty good company julio rodriguez just locked up his fifth
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: consecutive 2020 season to start a career and uh bobby
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: baseball is two home runs shy of his fourth in
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: a row.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Bobby Witt Jr. there with the Royals. Pretty solid company
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: to be keeping in Major League Baseball.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Thank you, Ace. 877-794-1973. Time for our current electric
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: superhero of the day, brought to us by our friends
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: at callcurrent.com. Current electric superheroes on the van and the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: techs inside are superheroes as well. Now, I really want
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to give it to OG Nooner George in Rapids for saying,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: wake Armin up when September ends.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Jeez Louise. Well, that's a totally different job. Just a
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: phenomenal drop, though, on the pot.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: But current electric superhero of the day. Anybody going to
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: argue with me on giving it to Lucas Van Ness?
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, come on.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Ten total tackles, seven solos, a sack and a half,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: three TFLs. Drew, you mentioned just the pressure rate that
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: he had yesterday and going back in the last couple
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: of years. The last eight games that he's played has
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: been really impressive, but he generated a career-high nine pressures
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: in week two, five of them in under two and
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: a half seconds. Tied for, according to NextGenStats, tied for
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the third most by a Packers defender since 2020. Also
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: had four QB hits. So he got early pressure, contacted
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Geno Smith, hit him, and he was a big reason why,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: one of the biggest reasons why they ended up winning
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: that football game yesterday, 20-17. Any objections on the current
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: electric superhero of the day? No, I think he's obviously
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: the guy. He was huge yesterday, and the Packers have
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: needed him to emerge, and he's done it. I mean,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: you can't You can't swing and miss on first-rounders and
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: be really successful long-term. And thankfully, it looks like he's
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: finally taking that next step. And the opportunity's been there
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: for him, obviously, with Micah out. And he's doing it
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: through hard work now. I mean, he's out hustling. A
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: lot of Aaron Kampman in those rushes, to me at least.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: And I love to see what he's doing. So he's
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: definitely deserving. I want to give a shout-out to Lisa Leslie.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Got a statue yesterday for the Sparks.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: There we go. Maybe an honorable mention. Now, there's someone
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: that deserves one.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: You know, we always talk about who should get a
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: statue in number of retirement, but Lisa Leslie, WNBA, women's
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: basketball icon, Sparks.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Gave her a statue. There was another statue that was
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: given out yesterday to Todd Helton.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Okay, see, that's where I'm sort of like, and he
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: had a nice career, don't get me wrong. Was it
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: for Colorado, for the Rockies?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what other team would it have been? Well, I
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: thought maybe it was like a high school or college.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: He played football at Tennessee. Yeah, it's definitely a baseball one.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: He's holding up the arms and celebrating.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Because to me, I don't think Todd Helton, Colorado Rockies statue.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: That's just me. I mean, I don't think that. So, okay,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: give him a statue. That's why I thought maybe it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Was his high school or something like that. Because he
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: had a good career.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to start with the gatekeeping stuff, but
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Five-time All-Star, four-time Silver Slugger Award winner, three-time Gold Glove,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Hall of Famer.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: He's a Hall of Famer.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know what else you got to get. Triple
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: crown winner.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: For Helton and Larry Walker. All right, put them in
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the front, guys.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Give them a statue. What do I want?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: How many do they have? He was a one-team guy.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: He's their Hall of Famer. He's a one-team Hall of Famer.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Larry Walker played with other teams. It would have to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: be Helton or Walker.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Helton was their home guy. He was there
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: for when they went to the World Series, too, right?
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: He was there for the Rocktober year. Have you put
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: him into that spot?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Good question. I don't know why you got disrespect and
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: hate on Todd Helton like that. Well, how big is
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the statue?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, when he played it.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Listen, it's a better statue than the Dwayne Wade one. Okay,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: it's important.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Or that Allen Iverson mini statue they gave him. It's
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: bigger than that one.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Didn't they give somebody a dinosaur in Toronto? Or am
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I going crazy? Was that wrong on the internet? Probably
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I got tricked. Did you get sent out? I probably did.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I probably did.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm underrating Todd Helton's career. Todd Helton's junior year
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: at Rocky Top, he was the backup to senior Jerry Colquitt,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and he was ahead of Peyton Manning.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Goodness gracious. His five-year peak was pretty good here.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Helton took over as the starter after Colquitt tore knee
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: ligaments in the season opener, and then three weeks later,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: he suffered a knee injury and was replaced by Peyton Manning.
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: You know what?
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Mea culpa.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I'm wrong.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: That's not a bad one to get replaced by. I'm wrong.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: 12 games during his career with the Volunteers football team,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: 41 of 75, 484 yards, four touchdowns, three picks.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: He had a 1,000-plus OPA, even though it was Colorado.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: That's pretty good for five straight years.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I'm wrong.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Mea culpa.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Todd Helton.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: There we go.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: You're poo-pooing his statue?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: He's in the Hall of Fame.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: He was hating on it. Drew, that's why I brought
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: it up. I knew that would catch him quickly. I
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: knew I would get Armin a little. He's still mad
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: that they gave... Did they give you Donna Sasselman's statue
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: down in Miami, or was that retiring the number?
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: They gave him the bench, the ceremonial bench.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: The ceremonial bench.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: No, I think they retired his number. That's a little.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Well, Larry Walker, too. Okay.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: All right. I'm wrong.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Me a couple.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Give it to him.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Give him the statue.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Okay. And we will.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm mixing them up then with somebody, but I'm not. Definitely.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Larry Walker had some also good years in Montreal, don't forget.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Not that we're talking about him.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, he was. Yeah, absolutely. So he was a two-team
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: kind of star.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hayden says Kyle Lowry. He said, I saw that, too.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry, homegrown, entire career, played for Colorado. In the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, the statue makes sense. It went to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: a World Series, rocked over.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I'm going to look before I open my mouth again.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: The Raptors one is true.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: What is going on there?
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: The Raptors one is true. They did give him a
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: statue in Jurassic Park. The greatest Raptor of all time.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: And they put a statue with Kyle Lowry. So it
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: is a Raptor statue. With a Kyle Lowry jersey.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: But then I saw Toronto people pushing back a Raptors
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: fan saying it's not his official, like, statue.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Because he's the groat. Greatest Raptor of all time.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry, is he?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess, oh, total, total.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Well, you got McGrady.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: You got other guys there.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Obviously, Kawhi had one here.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Vince Carter.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Vince is, what am I thinking?
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: Vince, yeah, yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: All right, 877-794-1973. What am I thinking? Yeah, Vince. Game, balls,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and cakes.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Did we sufficiently have our superhero name, callcurrent.com?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I think so. I think so.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Also, game.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I'm just detouring us. It's just incredible stuff. Game, ball, door, friend,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Bob in Sugar Land. He said special 21st of September,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: 35th wedding anniversary to him and Mrs. Bob in Sugar Land.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Congratulations, Bob.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: What was your wedding song, I wonder, on September 21st,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: 35 years ago? If you don't, is that a massive L?
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Just massive L. Massive.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I think it's like, what if you didn't like that song?
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: By the way, congratulations.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: There's nobody that doesn't like that song. Come on. It's universal.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not like a slow dance song.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: No.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Maybe it starts the dance floor. Always.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: That song fires everybody up.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: It fires them up. I'm saying for first dance slow.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Dances, you're not dipsy doing with all that stuff or
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: doing the dip and the.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: You mentioned, Billy, earlier you mentioned a lot of games
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: were impacted by rain this weekend. Not so much. Well,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the Packers game looked wet. Hard to tell from TV
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: how hard it's raining. Even the Badgers game on my TV,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: it's like, is it raining there? Hard to tell, but
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: it was raining sideways at certain points. It was coming down.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: It was coming down there for a while. There were
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: some delays, including the... one that probably helped. Clemson overcome
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a deficit and beat North Carolina.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: My goodness, dude.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: What a game. Dabo Swinney went from he's going to
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: be fired Monday to, well, he's going to be around
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: for a little bit. Now Belichick's seat is hotter, hotter, hotter.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Turn that temperature right back up. That was going to
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: be the hot seat bowl in the ACC. One team
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: was going to feel even worse about their aging coach
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: after that game, and the other was going to try
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: to tell themselves they feel slightly better. I don't know
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: if Clemson is any bit good. They started a true
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: freshman quarterback, I believe. He looked pretty decent. They went
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: on a 22-3 run, kind of like what happened with
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: the Packers. So yeah, when the delay happened, and they
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: come out of the delay, Carolina kicked a field goal.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: And there was what, like eight and a half minutes left?
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: So they're up 20-15, and then got boat raced. And
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Billy Edwards Jr. unable to put that ball in the
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: end zone, and it sits there with the Tar Heels.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Now, Steve Belichick has resigned from his position. Lombardi has
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: resigned from his position. Bill, like the only one of
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: the first part of that old guard that's still going
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: to be there. And there were some college football people
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: that said, hey, look out. They win this game. They
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: potentially were going to have game day rolling with UNC
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: for their Notre Dame game. Probably not anymore. Probably not anymore.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: But that one was a massive impact on the weather delay.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: The weird one in the NFL, Drew, was like they
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: took the Buccaneers and Browns off the field yesterday. And
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: people are in the stadium like, well... but I'm walking
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: out and it's sunny.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Exactly what's happening here.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: You could see on the other side of the stadium
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: the clouds rolling in, and then it quickly turned into
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: a trash flood in there as everybody's water and beer
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: and empty wrapper was getting flushed out of Raymond James
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Stadium yesterday because it was a washout there for a
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: couple hours.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: That Clemson game with a freshman quarterback, sophomore running back,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: they're not building the teams like they used to. But
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: if you can let those guys cook, might he be okay, Billy?
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: You know, man, the tough thing about saying Dabble's washed
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: and he's out of style is definitely the more in
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: vogue thing to do. It's the first year that they
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: actually did bring in a couple of transfers. They started
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: to do a little bit of things different, maybe adopted
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: a little bit to the new age of college football.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: But Tate Reynolds was one of the– most highly regarded
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks coming out of high school. When they turned it
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: over to him, there was a lot of excitement down there.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I still like Dabo because I like the cut of
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: his gym, and I still like laughing when he runs
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: out of the tunnel first and down the hill way
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: before the rest of the team. But they got some
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: guys that still love Dabo, they love Jesus, and they
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: love football. Then there's a place for him to play
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: for the Tigers. Otherwise, you're not going to play for
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: the Tigers. The only thing is you've got to love
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: football and your family and Dabo Sweeney right there in
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: the middle. Otherwise, you're not going to play for these Tigers.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: But they've got an interesting squad there in the ACC.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Everybody's playing for second place, though, there. That's the tough
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: scene because nobody is touching that Miami team. Their quarterback
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: has more touchdowns than incompletions.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: That's wild. That won't last, but it's wild.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: For now, it won't last. Darian Menz is Heisman Canada. See,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: we'll tell you maybe otherwise.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: This portion of the program brought to you in part
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: by our friends at Game Day Men's Health.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I'll be visiting there after the program. GameDayMensHealth.com.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Might have to do another remote there in the Brookfield office.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun the last time we
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: were there. Check them out. See how they can change
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: your life. GameDayMensHealth.com. Wayne Larive is going to join the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: party coming up in about, what, 25 minutes, 20 minutes
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: or so?
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right around 735, he's going to be able to
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: join us.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Perfecto. You're in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Huddled
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: up on a Monday. Drew, Billy, and Armin, bringing it
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: to you. You're just killing me, Armin. You're killing me.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Well, see, what you did was the wrong thing, is
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: you mentioned Frankie Valli at some point.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: No, you mentioned Frankie Valli. Because you tried to say
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: that's why you got... You didn't know of the September songs.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: You got it messed up with Frankie Vallon and the
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Four Seasons.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did do that.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Which are very reminiscent of each other. Did you know there, well,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: sort of the same era. Did you know there was
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: no Sherry in real life? Frankie said that once. He goes,
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: there's no one named Sherry.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Usually songs are written not for anybody.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Because everyone wants to believe it's about somebody. You think
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: it was like one sweet love in high school? I
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: saw somebody ask him in a video and he goes, no, no, no,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: there's no Sherry. I do like any Frankie Valley interview
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: video I can get.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: It's like, especially when he's older. All right. So I
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: had to, I had to roll that one.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Love it.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: You thought, you thought a victory Monday would have this
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: boy locked in straight and arrow.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: No chance.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: You get love tunes. You get fun for Valley. You
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: don't know what you might find here today.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Not to be.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Confused with, Oh, Sherry by Steve Perry.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: It's so funny how that works. That's what we were
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: thinking of.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: 877-794-1973.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Some pretty great shots from our boy Statman Steve.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Drew, I'm glad you posted that one the other day
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: of the.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Day after the Brewers clinch.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: That shot that Steve sent us of American Family Field
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: was phenomenal. He just said, never stop learning, Armand. He's
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: our official photographer of the huddle.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Never stop learning.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Don't take this the wrong way. I want you to
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: take it the right way. You're basically like Picture Man
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Steve now.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he is. MKE Photo Steve.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: But you're great at, like, even Wrigley's gum started as
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: a glue company, and they would give away gum with
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: their glue.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: But they realized, what do they do well? They do
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: the gum the best.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: You know, Steve, you don't even want the stats anymore.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: You just keep taking these pictures. That's your superpower, man. Yeah,
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: MKE Photo Steve, right? That's where you found it. Yeah,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: he's our favorite drone operator. Really, really impressive stuff.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: You've got to put some of these in a book
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: or something so I can buy it, you know? Again,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: what is it? 1996 and doing a scrapbook. You got
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: to have something for the coffee table.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: You know, a little something, something. Give him a USB
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: jump drive and enjoy it. Uh, Janie and Appleton. Good
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: morning from beautiful Chippewa flowage near Hayward. Colors are just
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: starting to pop. It's going to be a great day.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Brewers at 98 wins. Packers won. Not much of a
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: five o'clock clubber on vacation though. More of a six
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: 30 ish clubber. Janie and Appleton number 15 in the
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: five o'clock. Oh no, that's totally, I like that. That
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: is very acceptable on vacay. You can clock out for
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: a little bit in the five o'clock club. Just let
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: you know it was going up though. It was going up.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: So if you missed it and you want to tap
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: in with more of it, go and enjoy the five
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: o'clock on YouTube or on the podcast we posted earlier.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Just zoom, zoom that thing back and enjoy all three hours.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Good advice. Good advice. And hit us up.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Any other, um, Who's hot? Who's not? We mentioned like
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the kicks and games and kicks, big stories. Any other?
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, I got a couple of, uh,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I got a couple of kicks real quick.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Focus.
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Kick to the balls of Jonathan Vilma.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Um, now I do generally enjoy his enthusiasm on the game, right?
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: You can tell he's in.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I'm with you.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: As strange as it sounds, Drew, you, we hear enough
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: broadcasters where you can clearly tell my man's not excited
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: to be there. Jonathan Vilma likes the game and enjoys
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: being there. Um, At one point, he called Keyshawn Nixon
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: one of the best corners in the game. That might
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: be a little bit hyperbole. They also, at one point,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I believe it was when the Packers had 11 penalties
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: for over 100 yards at the time. Highlighting, now, it
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: was a disciplined play. Packers didn't jump off sides. Going
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: up against, I believe, the two-minute warning where they were
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: clearly trying to draw them off sides said, that is
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: what a good, disciplined football team does right there.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Jonathan, have we been watching the football game?
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Have we been watching the first two games where I
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: think they've been called for, Drew, what, 25 combined penalties
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: over the two games? Not sure I would consider that
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: a super disciplined football team.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: But, Jonathan, I like where your head's at. Kick to
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: the huevos on there. But otherwise, good call. We heard
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: most of it.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: What he said was technically true. That is what a
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: good disciplined team does. Now, I don't know if that
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: was us.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's fair.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: That's an example of what a good disciplined football team
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: would do.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: See, it's in there.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: You guys at least have it in you. Now you
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: just messed around and set the standard.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: We've been excited all day, which is fine.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: The Packers won, but there were some issues. We talked
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: about third downs. I'm also going to give a kick
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: in the ball. Got to focus, fellas. Focus. You can't
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: fumble the ball five times in the NFL in 2020.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Five fumbles.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Now, we only lost one. That was luck and fortune.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: So we have to say that. Packers were fortunate to
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: not get worse. Uh, Caleb Johnson and Marshawn lost one.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Tucker lost one. Like we can't have Jordan lost one.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: We can't have the fumbles. And this is 2026 where
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: fumbles are less so ever.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Than the NFL.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know. People will realize that fumbles and turnover.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: They've gone down now. You just can't have that.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Okay. We have to clean that thing up.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: People. I think we're wondering initially why Chris Brooks was
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: getting late carries. Well, I'm like, he's the only one
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: that didn't fumble the ball, you know? So that was
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: a concern yesterday. And Packers were fortunate to get away
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: with only losing one.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Well, and this one is a difficult beast.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: You didn't anticipate it being the case, so you didn't
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: want to have to have it be the case. But
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: game ball to Anthony Belton.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: A dagger delivered by the rookie.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Most likely your starting right tackle for the rest of
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: the season. As Matt LaFleur mentioned it yesterday, the Zach
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Bacoboele injury appears to be a season ender. As he said,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: he'll be out for a very long time. Don't know
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: exactly what that means. Throw him in an air cast
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: on the third play of the game. We all kind
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: of understand what that is. He looked much better and
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: much more comfortable, the most comfortable he has all of
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: this season at right tackle. He drew the one penalty
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: on David Bailey, who was the second overall pick for
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: the hands to the face, which I immediately thought was
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: going to be a hold. Wayne did too as well,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: where he said, ah, that's in the area of offensive holding.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: And luckily Larry noticed he's like, yeah, there's two things
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: on the, on the field.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: One's a flag. One's a yellow helmet rolling around and
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Belton goes and picks it up. Drew.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: He, uh, he looked physical in the run game and
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: it is possible that these guys get better with game reps,
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: better with opportunities. Anthony Belton's going to be your guy,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: and he performed well yesterday, albeit didn't bring a whole
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: lot of confidence for the way he performed during training
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: camp there.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Very true. I mean, but circumstances, man. He's getting a
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: chance now. Settle in.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Don't look over your shoulder. It's like, here you go, kid.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Job's yours.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: And it's now at a more comfortable position, right? He's
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: probably more comfortable on the outside. But that would have
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: been interesting to see Tucker Kraft play tackle. We don't
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: want to see that. But as Matt LaFleur said, when
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Jacob Monk was getting checked out, they were potentially having
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: to get him some reps over there.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I was wondering how and when they were going to
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: get Jagger Burton and Anthony Belton on the field. And
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: it was necessitated by injuries.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: By injury.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Now, pro football focus is not very kind to one
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Jagger Burton on his play.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I thought he looked a little bit better. Yeah, I
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: thought they ran behind him a couple times and he
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: was okay.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: That's where I just... Again, I struggle with pro football focus.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: I know a lot of people love it. I know
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: a lot of people swear by it. I think it
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: is a really, really cool tool and I appreciate the
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: hustle of it. I don't know how accurate any grade
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: is by any human being, but... They had him at
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: certain spots like 60-some percent in the pass rate.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Whatever it was, they ran behind him better.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: And I think, Drew, that probably was the impetus for
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: them running it on first and second down of that
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: drive when they got the long kick return. They just
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: got Burton into the game. They clearly think he's a
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: better run blocker than a pass blocker. Maybe we just
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: don't set ourselves up for a negative yardage here. Let's
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: see if we can go pick it up on the
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: ground because we have a little bit more movement. Belton
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: was physical. I'm excited to hear what Wayne thought about him.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought he brought something, and he's going to
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: get chances. Now, the Jaden Reed thing, there's no way
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: he plays Thursday after spending a night in the hospital.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: There's no question. But then the game coming out of that, mini-bye,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: he could play, and then after that, Savion Williams can
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: come off, right, with his ankle sprain. He's got to
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: miss four.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. You'd be able to move it around there.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: There's not going to be overlap, I don't think, because
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I think– think jayden reed will be back for that
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: you know after thursday missing thursday yeah we don't know
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: about the injury right that's yeah we.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Don't we'll know a lot more i i'm with you
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: though drew like that could be as long as it's
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: just a stinger as long as he could be coming
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: off right around that time.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I might be delusional and we can ask the voice
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: of the packers wayne larry this but it did look
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: early on with jayden reed and with the orbit motion
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: stuff they were going to use him in the game
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: plan they were going to throw screens to him they
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: were going to use him part of it yeah he
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: was a big part of the game plan and then
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: he got you know knocked out on the second play,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and what do you do?
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: And I think we saw a couple of Sky Moore
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: orbit motions. I wonder if they tried to put him
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: in there.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, and that's where Saban Rams could come in, too,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: doing stuff with him out of the backfield. So, interesting times.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Today, or I should say this week, would be the time, right,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: where you're allowed to start practicing if you're on that
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: pup list after week number two.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: So, Maybe we get some information here.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: But if Sky is a bigger part of the offense,
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be mad about it. The way he's showing
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: that burst and things like that, I think you could
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: use him effectively.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as long as you keep him where he's effective. Well, yes, obviously.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: We don't want anybody else saying that they're not returning
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: kicks anymore. It's the flip side of it. It's like,
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: that guy's too valuable as a receiver. We don't want
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: him returning kicks. No, he's too valuable as a returner.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: I don't want him handling the ball anywhere else. I
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: don't want him touching the rock.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Let's limit his opportunities to keep him healthy.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: He's not Devin Hester, but I watched that experiment for
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: far too long. Just let the guy be great at
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: one spot.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I'm with you.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: I just want good players in the field. I like
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: where you're at.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Players on the football field. You are concerned about keeping
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: them fresh.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: When we come back, the great Wayne Larravee is going
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: to join the party. The voice of the Green Bay Packers.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: It's a victory Monday. Get yourself a comfortable chair and
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: a cold or hot beverage of your choice because we've
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: got like a half hour left. We're sprinting to the finish.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: It's the huddle Fox sports radio, Wisconsin drew billion arm.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: And it's the final segment of the huddle on a Monday,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: a victory Monday in the good land. And we got
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: to make the most of it. And how do we
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: do that?
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Billy by bringing in a hall of famer and the
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: absolute legend and icon in the broadcast industry.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: That would be a way.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Easiest way to do it on the 21st day of September.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Wayne Larrabee joins us with a super cool graphic joining
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: us here on the YouTube stream. If you're missing that,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Miller Lite, legendary moments start with a light. You'll see
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: it right there. Pottawatomie Sportsbook, your sport, our stadium in Wisconsin,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Concrete Coatings, your trusted partner for premium concrete coatings, Drew.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: When the voice of the Packers, Wayne Larrabee, joins us
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: with that, that's when you know it's a good day.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Come on, Wayne!
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Wayne, we're thrilled to have you. 288 days. We're 287
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: days between daggers for you. December 7th to yesterday. What
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: was your afternoon like in the Meadowlands?
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: It was... Felt like a long game, guys, didn't it?
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, it was one of the strangest first quarters
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: I've seen. The two injuries marred it, but it just
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: felt like it took forever to get through the first quarter.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: It was dark. It was dreary, almost foggy. With that
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: missed falling throughout the ball game. And yeah, I mean,
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: it was nice to see the Packers rally and get
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: out of there with a win.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: That's for sure.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: You never apologize for doing it in the league. Some
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: are better than others. Some look a lot better than others.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: But Wayne, you mentioned it. It was hard to not
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: think of. Those first two plays in that first series
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: where you lose Jaden Reed to a devastating, it appears,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: neck injury where he gets carted off the field. One
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: play later, Zach Paco Buele has a air cast on
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: his right leg and he's being carted off the field.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: How did you feel the emotion of the game and
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: the energy of the game changed there? And how long
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: did it feel like it took for you in the
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: building for the Packers to kind of regain some momentum?
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it took a while, Billy.
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: I think that when you lose people like that, especially
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: Jay Reid, and that affects both teams. As you know
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: from being a player and seeing devastating injuries, it affects
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: not just your team but the other team as well.
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: When you see a guy getting carted off like that,
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: he's on the stretcher, they've got him roped in, tied in,
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: so he doesn't move, that kind of thing. It's very scary.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: It's scary for anybody who's involved with the game in
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: any way. And it's hard to overcome that. And I
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: think the momentum of the game, it took a while
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: for that game to kind of get moving after those
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: two injuries, but devastating for the Packers. You lose a
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: playmaker in the slot, you lose your best offensive lineman.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: And now where do you go? Well, I thought they,
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: they reached back and showed some character and, and eventually
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: we're able to get a win on the road.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Two games into the season. Are we, can we detect
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: the trend?
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Is it too early to say that the Packers are a,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: a defensive and special teams dominated club right now?
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: Well, certainly defense and special teams are carrying this football
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: team right now. Um, what Sky Moore has done in,
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: Billy and I talked about it this summer, a lot
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: of underrated acquisition of all the people the Packers brought in.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: Very underrated. Nobody was talking about Sky Moore. But I
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: thought he would make a huge difference on special teams,
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: and he has made all the difference in the world
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: on special teams for the Packers. He had, what, a
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: 43-yard kickoff return, 63-yard punt return, something like that yesterday.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: Just huge numbers in the return game. When you figure
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: last year, go back to last year, guys. And I
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: had that stat. I kept reading it all summer. The
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: Packers had the fewest return yards of any team in
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: the National Football League on special teams a year ago.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: And here, these first two weeks of the season, they've
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: been outstanding. I mean, you know, hey, listen, Sky Moore
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: has made a huge difference. But Bo Melton had a
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: couple of nice returns in Minnesota the week before. So
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: special teams much improved this year in that regard. Now,
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: You'd like to see them cover a little bit better,
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: and I think that will happen as we go along.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: But special teams with Sky Moore and then Trey Smack
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: hitting big kick after big kick. At this stage of
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: the season when you're struggling offensively, you've got to make
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: all those field goal attempts, and he's done that so far.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: My wife watched the celebration, and she goes, Didn't you
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: think they went a little overboard celebrating? It was a
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: 28 yard kick. I was like, the kids are rookie.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: It's two games in and they haven't done anything good
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: to celebrate. So they needed to celebrate something. But for
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: a team that has now watched the opposite end of
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: the spectrum with the kicker and the rookie kicker, Wayne,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: it does feel like they have their dude.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: It's a 28 yard field goal pressure pressures on you.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Get a pre, you get a warmup kick. the dagger
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: was drawn. It was as easy as much of a
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: layup as it can be, but sometimes the easiest ones
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: are the hardest ones to cash in on. I thought
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: that was big stuff and a nice celebration for the
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: kid yesterday.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought so too.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: And, and, uh, you know, uh, again, like I said,
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: this is such so early in the season, drew, it's
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: hard to figure where this team is going. It's hard
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: to figure how they'll get it done this year. Um,
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: there's no question they need more offensively. They need to
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: be better offensively, but that's going to be difficult with
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: this offensive line, the way it is without Jaden Reed,
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: who I think is a subtle key to what they
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: do in the passing game and without your best offensive lineman.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, where do you go? You don't
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: have your bell cow running back.
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: You might not, who knows how that case is going
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: to go, but this is not an easy start to
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: the season for the Packers. People were saying, well, they're
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: playing the jets and they're playing the Falcons and they
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: got the Vikings and everybody's picking the Vikings to finish
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: last in the division. And, All of that stuff is
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: a bunch of you-know-what because you don't know what these
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: teams are until you get into the season. It's probably
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: going to take another two, three weeks before we have
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: a real feel for who the Packers are and how
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: they're going to get it done. or if they can
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: get it done.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: If they can. Talking to Wayne Larive, the voice of
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the Packers here, Drew Billion, Armand. Brees Hall and Braylon Allen,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: we talked about the Jets' offensive line and their desire
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: to run the ball and that they were going to
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: be physical and stuff. 21 carries, 36 yards. And we
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: were saying against light boxes a lot too. Now, Gino
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Smith had a decent day, like a kind of day
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: that you can win with, but what does it say
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: about the Packers that they were, that, that, that the
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: jets were not able to get anything going on the ground.
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: I thought the Packers were outstanding against the run. I mean,
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: 27 rushing attempts. The jets certainly gave the running game
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: a workout there, but a average 2.5 yards per rushing attempt.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: Minnesota the week before got 3.1 yards per rushing attempt that,
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: That tells you what you're doing down to down, and
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: the Packers very good. Lucas Van Ness, what a game
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: he played, not just as a pass rusher, folks, but
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: I hope you can appreciate what he does against the run,
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: how strong he is against the run. And even last year,
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: people were saying, well, where are the sacks? Well, he
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: was also very good against the run. He's always been
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: resolute in setting the edge, and I think he was
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: outstanding yesterday, and a big reason why that running game
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: you know, was shut.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: Down by the New York Jets.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: When I look at the running game, I look at
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: a statistic called accuracy losses, and most of this comes
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: against the running game. Do you realize the Packers had
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: nine TFLs yesterday? I'm reading the stat right. Nine. Lucas
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: had three himself. Bullard had a couple. Edger and Cooper
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: had three. These are the young stalwart players on that defense.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: These are the people they're going to grow with in
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: the next, this year and beyond.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Wayne, and I'm glad you mentioned it with the youth
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: because Drew and I were looking at each other yesterday
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: saying this offense, while borderline offensive at this moment, they're
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: midway through the fourth quarter. The defense appears to be
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: not only a unit you can win with, but one
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: that you might be able to win because of, especially
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: when they get.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Micah Parsons back.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: That four-man front of deny Dennis Sutton as the three-tech
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: that they kind of closed the game out with next
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: to Van Ness, Devontae Wyatt, insert Parsons for Brenton Cox Jr.,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: that could be as formidable of a four-man front as
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: you're going to see in.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Football, I think.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, absolutely.
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: And I think that's something to look forward to. This defense,
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: very good. The thing that marred yesterday's game, and again,
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: second week in a row, Packers had 14 penalties. Now,
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: the Jets weren't much better. They had 13. Do you
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: realize there were 27 penalties accepted in that game? Accepted.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: 289 yards in penalties between the two teams. There was
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: a point in the game where the Packers had more
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: penalty yards than they had offensive yards in that game.
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: That's the kind of– it was– I understand we're not
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: supposed to say this. It was an ugly game.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: No.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: You know, win or lose, it was an ugly game
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: in many respects.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: The fact the Packers were able to rally and win.
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: You know, first off, they snapped that losing streak. They
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: haven't won a game since Micah Parsons went out. Well,
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: that was true until yesterday. They're getting outscored, I don't know,
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: what was it, 85-15 or something like that in the
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: fourth quarter of their games over the last six games.
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: And at least they outscored the Jets 10-3, or 13-3
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: in fourth quarter and overtime games.
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: Yesterday.
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: So those were two things that were monkeys. They got
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: off their back a little bit there, at least for
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: a week. Let's put it that way.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: And talking about ugly, we'll stay on that.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: I guess this third down situation on both ends of
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: the ball is becoming an issue for the Packers. They
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: really won for nine yesterday on offense, only converted one
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: third down and then gave up, I think, eight against
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: the Jets, although they did stop some late in the game.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: The problem week one and week two. So is there
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: randomness in this, Wayne, a little bit, or is it
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: systemic at all, the third down situation?
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: I don't know if it's systemic. That may be too
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: strong a word, but it's an issue, as you pointed out.
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: Now think about this, guys. Okay, the Jets were 8
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: of 19 on third downs.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: They were much better than that throughout the first three
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: quarters of the game. Right, right.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: Now, they ran 72 plays as a result of those conversions.
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: They ran 72 plays. The Packers ran just 50 offensive
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: snaps in that game. That's plus 22 for the Jets,
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: but only 285 yards, only four yards per play. And
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: the Vikings were 3-6 the week before offensively against the
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: Packers defense. So Yeah, the Packers' defense, they're not helping
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: themselves on the third down conversion situation, but boy, they're
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: playing tough. It doesn't matter how many snaps you're going
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: to get. You're not going to get many yards against them,
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: at least not right now.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Wayne, the way the game ended, we're watching it unfold,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: and we're focused on the Packers, and we're thinking about
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: their side of things. Jets fans and media are barbecuing
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn and the coaching staff for their clock management
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: at the end of the game, giving the Packers a
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: free Hail Mary try when they could have had the
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: ball with a minute left to try to gain 25
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: yards and kick a game winner. And then the decision,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: which seems unfathomable, to receive the ball in overtime at
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: home was flabbergasting. Both of those things worked out in
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: the Packers' favor. Were you shocked? For us, it was
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: hard to even be aware of that stuff in the moment.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Then you look back and go, how did that happen?
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I'm the same way.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: I did think it was A little unusual, you know,
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: that they won the toss and elected to receive because
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: a lot of times what you want to do, especially
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: in a situation where you know you're going to get
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: the ball, okay, if it's the old rules of overtime, folks,
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: where the first score ends the game regardless, then I
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: understand you take the ball every time because you're trying
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: to get the first score and end the game. But
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: in this case, you're going to, the other team's going
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: to get the ball, whether you score a field goal
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: or a touchdown. So in that regard, most of the time,
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: I mean, I thought it was just conventional. You win
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: the toss, you automatically, yeah, put them on the field offensively.
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: Let's see what we have to do once we get
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: the ball. Do we need a field goal? Do we
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: need a touchdown?
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: What do we need? So I thought that was kind
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: of unusual.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: It's now like three years removed from that Super Bowl
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: when Shanahan did it with the 49ers and the guys
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: on the 49er sideline were like realizing, wait, they still
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: get the football back?
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: They get the ball back?
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: And Kansas City's like, yeah, thank you for doing that
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: for us. Wayne, this stat is hilarious, but it kind
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: of leads to, I think, The bigger conversation about the quarterback.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: It was his 50th regular season start yesterday against the Jets.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: 19th career game with multiple passing touchdowns and zero interceptions.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: The only guy to have more in his first 50
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: starts as a quarterback is Patrick Mahomes. I don't know
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: that that tells you that he's anywhere closer to Mahomes
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: or shorter, but I do think it kind of flies
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: in the face of the belief that he's this reckless gunslinger.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: He's got a real keen control of the offense, and
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: it felt like they need to be better in the
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: red zone, 1,000%. I think that part of it is
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: on him, but his control of the football yesterday is.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Just couldn't beat themselves.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: He put it on the ground once, but that is
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: a huge part of why they were able to escape
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: with a win yesterday.
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: That ball was popping loose.
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: There were four fumbles by the Packers in that game. Now,
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: they only lost one of them, but there were four fumbles.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: That ball was coming loose yesterday, and I give the
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: Jets a lot of credit. Aaron Glenn and that Jets defense,
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: they are much improved and they are starting to play
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: the game in his image. So a lot like the
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: Lions were three and four years ago playing football, playing
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: defensive football. I thought the Jets were very physical. That
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: was a very physical football game. And looking ahead, as
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: Larry and I kind of alluded to in the game, boy,
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: you've got a short week coming up. But man, that
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: was a physical football game. And John Kuhn and I
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: talked about it. Now, it's going to be interesting to
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: see what the Packers have left for Thursday night in
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: Green Bay. Playing at home, home opener, emotion, and you
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: know how big emotion is in this game. That should
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: help a lot. But I think Jordan Love has been outstanding. Now,
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: you have to understand, folks, he's doing whatever he's doing
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: without a running game. That's hard to do on this level, okay?
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: And I know everybody thinks that all they do is
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: throw the football and that's how you win in the
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: National Football League.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: No.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: The good teams can run the football and run it effectively,
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: and the Packers have been unable to do that. 63
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: yards rushing, just 18 running attempts, 3.5-yard average, long gain
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: of 12. That's not much. And then, you know, the
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: pass protection... Love was sacked three times yesterday, three quarterback hits.
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: I think the protection was reasonable compared to the week before.
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: But nonetheless, he's doing a lot of this with him
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: and his receivers kind of on their own in many
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: respects because the rest of the components of the offense
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: haven't quite come together yet.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: On the other side of the ball, Wayne, the Packers,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Keyshawn Nixon played really well week one. He got kind
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: of picked on yesterday and didn't play as well. The
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: guy who strikes me as being consistent and a dude
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: is Javon Bullard. Supporting in the run and breaking up
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: some passes. He looks like he's ready. This is just
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: like he's starting to reach peak effectiveness, isn't he?
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: Javon Bullard and Evan Williams. These are two guys.
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: Evan Williams made a play. I don't know. What was it?
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: Second half, fourth quarter, something like that. He chased somebody
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: down from like, I mean. He was in Delaware and
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: chased the guy down to the Meadowlands. It was just
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: amazing to watch. I think Evan Williams, Javon Bullard, Brandon
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: Cisse was solid again, I thought. Yeah, you know, Keyshawn
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: Nixon got picked on a little bit, but I thought
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: he was tough too. I think they played pretty well,
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: very well defensively. Defensive activity, which I chart, and this
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: is sacks, tackles for losses, quarterback hits, interceptions, pass deflections,
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: forced fumbles, fumble recovery. all those categories. And for the Packers,
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: those categories totaled 27. The Jets' defensive activity was 20.
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: That 27 is a pretty high number in an NFL game,
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: those categories put together. I think Bullard is just, he
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: was a force in that game yesterday, Drew, and early
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: in that ballgame as well. Now, there was one play
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: he let his emotions get in the way. But, hey,
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: you've got to love the way those kids play the game.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: That was awesome. Wayne, thank you for joining us. We
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: appreciate it so much. And it's a short week, so
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: we're on to Atlanta. We'll talk about that postgame on Friday.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Thank you, brother.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: You got it, guys. Have a good one. We'll talk
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: to you Friday.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Wayne Larive, the voice of the Green Bay Packers, brought
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: to us by Miller Lite, Wisconsin Concrete Coatings, and Pottawatomie Sportsbook.
• 40:13

• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Listen, our stadium finally gets to hold one of these games.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: It feels like forever ago since we've been at Lambeau
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: for a regular season game. Excited for it on Thursday night.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: And way more excited that they're 1-1 and we don't
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: have to talk about the trouble in River City of
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: an 0-2 start.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Big time. Big time. Brewers off today. We'll be at
• 40:31
