• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, he came in on the pass rush, and
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: he's up in the air. And here they come. Prescott, loft, middle,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: end zone, and he overshot everybody incomplete. No flags. Green
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Bay takes over, and there is your dagger.
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: Nothing like reliving a glorious victory by the Green Bay Packers,
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: 23-13 over Dallas on Sunday Night Football at Lambeau Field.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Drew Wilson, Bill Schmidt, Armin Sarian, huddled up with.
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: You on a victory Monday, and we are happy to
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: be joined by the voice of the Green Bay Packers,
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: the voice you just heard on those calls, our friend
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: Wayne Larive is with us.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Wayne.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Good afternoon, guys. How are you doing?
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: We are great better after wins like that and better
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: Wayne better with a defense like this. You and I
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: sit up on the perch during training camp and prognosticate
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: and guess and hope that a lot of things can happen.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: But when we looked at this safety trio and thought,
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: might be the best grouping in the league that they have.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: And Evan Williams seems like he's primed for a breakout year.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: Him maybe turning into the best safety in the league
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: and us seeing it last night is one of the
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: biggest reasons why this team has kind of survived the
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: turbulent waters and maybe come out of it on the
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: other side.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Billy, the cornerbacks have played better than we expected.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. Keyshawn Nixon, I think, is
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: having a very good year. And Brandon Cisse, we saw
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: it in training camp when he earned the job. You know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: he's really lived up to billing. He's playing like a
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: first-round draft choice. I know he's a number two, but,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you know, hey, they've gotten some good mileage out of
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: those cornerbacks. That defense is playing well. Gannon does a
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: great job. We talked about it all summer, about how
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: he's going to disguise his coverages, that kind of thing,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: bring pressure from different sources. And that's what they've done.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: You know, their pressure rate, has been way up this
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: year compared to where it was at the end of
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: last year.
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: I don't want to be an Eeyore because that's Armand's
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: job on the show, but I'm watching this defense play
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: and I'm thinking to myself, let's enjoy Jonathan Gannon while
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: he's here. Cause he's probably going to get a job
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: in somebody's head coach in the next cycle.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: And it happened with Halfley. It took two years. What
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: do you think, Wayne?
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: Is he, is the clock ticking for Jonathan Gannon to
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: get another head coaching job?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Well, selfishly, cause I know I'm a little bit now
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: and I'm really appreciative of what he's doing. with his
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: personnel and the strategy and everything else he weaves into it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: But I, I really like him. He's a, he's a
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: great guy. I'm hoping he's here for a while. No,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: that may not be in the plan for him, but
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping he's here for more than two years, but
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: we'll see. Um, you know, they've really done a tremendous job.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I think on that side of the ball, what are
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: they giving up? Uh, less than 20 points in each
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: of the last three games. And really Dallas had only
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: seven points last night. And when, you know, that they
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: got a, uh, touchdown and garbage time that didn't mean anything.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: But no, I'm just really pleased with what they've been
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: able to do defensively with the injuries they've had, with
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Micah Parsons not back yet. You know, there's a lot
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: to look forward to here.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: And without Edger and Cooper.
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: Wayne, is it that revolutionary when you have three good
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: safeties to get them on the field together at the
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: same time?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Because.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: You know, Billy was saying he did that in Arizona
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: and he said, when he came in, I don't have
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: a scheme.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Well, that's a scheme that he's used in the past.
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: And it seems like a smart business decision to put
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: those three guys on the field and let them play
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: as much as you can.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Drew, we're seeing over the last three years across the NFL,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: more of a tendency for that slot cover corner to
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: be a safety type, uh, maybe a safety slash cornerback,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: a hybrid type player. And with Bullard, you get both.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: You get the safety, the toughness and physicality of a safety,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: but you get some coverage ability that a cornerback would have.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: He made a great play in that ball game last
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: night in pass defense. So we're seeing more and more
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: of this across the league, but it's exactly what Jonathan
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Gannon hoped to do. And I think when he came here,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you know, one of the things he mentioned early, maybe
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: it was in OTAs or minicamp, that he felt he
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: had the personnel to be able to run his schemes.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: on the roster. So it was a little different than
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: when Dom Capers came here and they switched from a four,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: three to a three, four, they really didn't have the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: personnel that first year. And it took them a while
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: till that second year to where they had people in
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: place and could go and play that scheme to its fullest.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: Wayne, when you start looking at what they did in
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: the off season, it is fascinating to see it play
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: out in real time, where I think the number came
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: out that he, uh, Matthew Golden is six as six drops,
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: most in the league. He also has over 500 receiving
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: yards and yesterday played 84% of the offensive snaps. The
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: only other guy that played more that wasn't a quarterback
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: or the offensive line was Christian Watson, Tucker craft right
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: around there as well. When they, when they trimmed out
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: the room and made it hopefully streamlined to get these guys,
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: the football, could they ever have fathom that they produced
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: this quickly? And when you look at golden, uh, Where
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: are you at of the excitement being buoyed by the
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: disappointment of he's having a phenomenal start here to his
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: second year? But my goodness, he could be leading the
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: league in receiving yards if you hold on to half
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: of these drops last night, two touchdowns, because it's a
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: heck of a start and there's so much still out
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: for him in this pass game.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: You know, Billy, the biggest surprise I have is that
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Matthew Golden leads the league in drop passes because I've
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: said this all along. Ever since he came here as
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: a rookie, I think he has the best hands on
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: the team, but he's dropped the ball. Christian Watson dropped
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: a touchdown pass yesterday as well, or last night. Tucker
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Kraft has had some drops, I believe three on the season.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: The Packers lead the league with a drop rate of 7.2%.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Now think about that. They also lead the league in
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: most penalties and penalty yardage, and they have four wins
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: in In each of those games, they rushed for well
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: under 100 yards. Nobody in the league has ever done that,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think, leading those dubious categories and still having
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: four wins in six games. So there's a lot more
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to be gotten out there. The sense I had listening
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to you guys, listening to the interviews, which I think
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: is really great, you guys were all those interviews with
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Jordan Love and Matt LaFleur and some of the other
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: players during your post-game show. But you get a real
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: feel for the locker room and what it might have
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: been like and what the feeling was. And you get
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: the feeling even with the win last night, the Packers
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: kind of felt like, boy, there was a lot more
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: we left out there. And, you know, they felt like
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: they could have played better. And if you hold on
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: to a couple of those passes, especially two or more
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: touchdown passes, this game is a blowout. I mean, it's
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: not even competitive. You know, that's the only thing that
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: was keeping Dallas in the game.
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: The voice of the Packers, Wayne Larrabee, joining us, brought
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: to us by Miller Lite. Legendary moments start with a
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: light by Pottawatomie Sportsbook. We'll be there on Thursday for
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: the Thursday night.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Night Huddle. Yes, sir. It's going to be epic. And
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: by Wisconsin Concrete Coatings.
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: Okay, Wayne, in the last two weeks, Jordan Love's been
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: on a bit of a heater, as we like to say,
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: when I'm at the blackjack table or when Billy's got
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: his parlay cards out. He's been on a heater every
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: And I don't want to take it for granted what
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: he's doing because I'm old enough to remember when people said, oh,
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: he doesn't have an accurate deep ball. And now he's
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: connecting on some serious haymakers. Is this the best stretch
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: we've seen of him? I mean, can he get better?
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: He'll get better when receivers hang on to the ball.
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: But in terms of commanding and moving around the pocket,
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: is this as good as we've seen Jordan Love in
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: his career?
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: You know, and over the course of three weeks, and again, folks, again,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I know the stats. I understand what the stats say.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: But football's not a game you can read a stat
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: sheet and understand what happened in the game. Football's a
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: game you have to see the game to understand it.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Jordan Love was sharp last night. He was exceptionally sharp.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I think his completion percentage was around 50%. Yeah, he
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: had five or six dropped passes. I wouldn't be surprised
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: if LeFleur comes out today and says, we counted six
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: or seven dropped balls, passes that should have been caught.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: And in several of them, guys, I mean, the ball
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: was right on the hands. It's that old cliche. You say, well,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: he hit him in a bad place. The hands. You
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? So I thought he was really
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: sharp last night. Very sharp. And, you know, he got
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: more pressure last night. The offensive line in the last
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: week or so seemingly has kind of regressed a little bit.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Certainly last night they regressed a little bit. But then again,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: and Larry McCarron and I talked about this, Kenny Clark's
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: lost a step. but not last night. No, no, no.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: He wasn't going to lose a step. He was going
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: to play big last night, and he did. Rashawn Gary,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: the Dallas people, I was on their pregame show, and
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: they were saying, you know, are you surprised that we're
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: disappointed that he's not more of a factor? And I said, no.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: He's exactly, out of the tape I watched, he's exactly
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: what he was here. He's going to get close. He's
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: rarely going to close the deal. He was close a
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: lot last night. He played well last night. But my
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: point is this, you know, Jordan Love is really playing well.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: His receivers have to catch some of these passes, and
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: when they do, he's going to throw for 300 yards
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: a week and probably three or four touchdown passes a game.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: What did you say, top three? He's third right now
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: in passing yards. Despite the drops.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, they left 100 yards on the table last
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: night with the drops.
• 12:30
  Speaker 9: Easily.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, easily. And maybe Drew. I mean, objectively... conservatively, maybe
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: two touchdowns, right?
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: At the most conservative eight points. And Wayne, you're right.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: The in and out of the pocket ability we're getting
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: even more of, and maybe it shouldn't be surprising, but
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: I wonder how much of this is him being the
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: healthiest he's been throughout the year. We talked about it
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: again during the summer of this was the first off
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: season that he didn't have the contract being a first
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: year starter being dinged up during camp with the thumb.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: And now he's had a full runway here. and Tyrod
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: Taylor in that quarterback room, and you are seeing a
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: really aggressive blend of Love being outside the pocket and
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: trying to hunt as many deep shots as possible.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: And doing it without a running game.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Drew, you took the words right out of my mouth. Exactly.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Doing this without a running game. I mean, this is
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: a historically, from a statistical standpoint, it's kind of historic,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: isn't it, this running game? I mean, you know, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: you hope that, okay, when Josh Hips comes back, but
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: you know, going back and watching that game and Watching
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: it through the field glasses last night, Billy, there's not
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: a lot to be had out there. I understand these
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: backs aren't real experienced, and they don't always make the
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: right read, but there's not a whole lot being blocked
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: out there in the running game. I'm sorry. I'm not
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: seeing it. I'm a layman. I understand Larry McCarron is
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the expert in our booth on offensive line play, but
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: as a layman, I don't see a whole lot out
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: there that they're missing on the ground. They're just not
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: getting it done up front for the most part, but
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I think it's getting better And, you know, Josh and
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Larry has always said this, a good back can make
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: a line look better. He really can. So maybe if
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: and when they get Josh back, and I don't know
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: what the status is going to be this week, it's
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: a little early, but when they get him back, I
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: think that'll improve things, and that should allow that passing
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: game to grow even more.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Sorry, Billy, just really quick.
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: I was going to talk about the run game having
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: an impact on third down efficiency. And the Packers were
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: one of the worst teams coming in. They were great
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: last night on third down. A lot of third and longs.
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: mostly thanks to Jordan Love converting. Can that be a
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: trend going forward, or is it still that hard to
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: stay behind the sticks that much and convert those third downs, Wayne?
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Is that a concern?
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I don't have the numbers in front of me, Armand,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: but the Packers going into last night's game were among
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: the league leaders in third downs converting third and six
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: or more, third and long. On that opening drive last night,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I'm just off the top of my head now. They
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: had third and six. They converted third and 13, third
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: and 13, third and five. Four third-down conversions that were,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: you know, third and long. Five yards to go is
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: third and long to me in the NFL. I know
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: six yards is generally what the statisticians consider third and long. But,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: you know, hey, yeah, but what you don't– when they
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: get third and three, I'm sitting here saying, oh, man,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: this should be a slam dunk, you know, compared to
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: what they've been trying to overcome throughout the ballgame on
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: third downs. But I think that really, you know– A
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: running game that can be a little more productive on
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: first and second downs is going to help a lot
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: in that regard.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: They print out all these super cool stats and information, Wayne,
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: that we have. The one that I liked here was
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: after last night's game, the Packers down the last 13 meetings,
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: including the playoffs, are 11-1-1 against the Dallas Cowboys. You've
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: been around, you're a historian of this game. How impressive
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: is that? Most against any non-division team of any NFL
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: team in that span.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Billy, it's incredibly... impressive. And you go back to the
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: nineties when the Cowboys dominated the Mike Holmgren Packers. And,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you know, with Troy Aikman and that group that won what,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: two or three, three out of four years, they won
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: the Superbowl, something like that. And the Packers succeeded them
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: in the NFC. You know, although that year in 96,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: even that year, they lost to the Cowboys in Dallas,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: the Superbowl season. So, and, you know, I go back
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: as a kid and, and the game that captured my
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: imagination and the book that, uh, Jerry Kramer wrote instant replay,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: the ice bowl. I mean, it's still, my son got
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: it out last Christmas. We're here. Uh, and my eight
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: year old grandson at the time and, uh, Scott pulls
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: up the ice bowl on his phone and we did
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: put it on the TV, the NFL films, uh, on
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the 30th anniversary, put all of their tape together and
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: recreated the broadcast. They even had Ray Scott, um, doing
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: the voiceover on the call and the whole bit. It
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: was great, but we showed them that and said, hey,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: this is where the Packers and Cowboys, this is what
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: it's all about. It's really where it got started. So
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of history between these two franchises. But Billy,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: in my time in Green Bay, the Packers have gone
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: to Dallas on numerous occasions, faced a much heavily favored
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Cowboys team and came out on top. And so this
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: has been going on now for well over a decade.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: And You know, hopefully it won't let up anytime soon.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: It's a fun one to live in. I'll tell you,
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: it's always great being the Chicago bears. We already know that,
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: but something about the star on the helmet and Dak
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Prescott running up that visiting tunnel as quickly as possible yesterday.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: It is something that warms the cockles of your heart.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: It's just a beautiful thing, Drew. It absolutely does.
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: All right, Wayne, we had some IT issues, and we
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: had some people crawling around here today, and we've set
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: up a blocker that they can't stream this show in
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: Park Avenue in New York, so I want to ask
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: you about the officiating.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: I'll put a quarter in. It's getting frustrating.
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: I had a couple people texting me during the game
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: last night saying, this is borderline unwatchable, the way they're
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: calling games. And we've talked about it before. I think
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: the game would be improved if they would reduce the
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: penalties by 30%. We'd still get a pretty good version
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: of football. What's your take on what we saw last
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: night in big picture? Because I was watching the earlier
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: games yesterday, and everybody's going through it.
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I've not seen it quite like this. I've seen the
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: flag fest for the first three weeks of the season,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: maybe two weeks of the season, where they get the
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: guys on the same page. Okay, this is how we're
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: going to officiate it, so don't do this, that type
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: of thing. But this is way beyond that, guys. This
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: is the interpretation of what roughing the quarterback is. There's
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: no common sense to it. If a certain thing happens,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: the flag has to be thrown. I don't blame the
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: guys on the field. The guys on the field, if
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: they see an infraction, even though nobody gained an advantage
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: or whatever, if it technically is an infraction, they throw
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: the flag. Why? Because if they don't, they will be
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: downgraded during the week by New York. Let's understand something.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: The bigger problem is what happens every March. The competition
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: committee gets together. They adjust the rule book by two
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: or three little things. Everybody says, well, that's not much
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: of an adjustment. Yeah, but put 49 years of those
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: things together, and what you have is a game that
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: really is difficult to officiate, extremely hard to understand how
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: they're officiating it, and then you need replay and you
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: need the TV crews all have a former head of
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: officials who tells you why they called a certain thing
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: or agrees or disagrees with the call on the field.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: um it just shouldn't be this complicated as larry says
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: time and time again there are too many rules in
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: this game and the one way you can really obscure
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: and and i think ruin this beautiful game of pro
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: football is by doing exactly what the nfl is doing
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: now this uh laundry of flags on every game. Not
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: just the Packers games. Hey, Packers lead the universe. Got it.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: And penalties accepted against them. Had 11 last night. But
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: that game last night, 22 accepted penalties. There were more.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: There were other flags on the field that either were
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: picked up or maybe offsetting penalties or declined. But there
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: were 22 penalties between these two teams for 204 yards.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Terrible product to watch, yeah. I mean, that's really just ridiculous.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: And that was a long game. Guys, it was a
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: long night. It really was.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: It took forever to.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Play that game.
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: And the thing about the roughing the passer is, like,
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: if you're going to call it that way, that's one thing.
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: But it doesn't feel consistent. Jordan hasn't been the beneficiary
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: of one roughing the passer call all year. And it
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: keeps happening to the Packers on the other side, and
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: I just don't get it. He's been sacked how many times,
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: been under pressure all year. It just feels like if
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: you're going to call it that ticky-tack, he should get some, too.
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: Maybe I'm a homer, so be it.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Jordan also has been hit more than any
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: quarterback in the league by far.
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: How can you tell me it's even then if he's
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: not getting any calls? If they're just brushing a guy
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: and getting a call, I don't know. It's frustrating to me.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Van Ness one was frustrating to me. Yeah,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: a little push. Yeah, but I mean.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: We're grown men out here, Wayne.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: It's not like you shoved him hard to the ground. Hey, listen,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I understand the official has to throw the flag. New
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: York will downgrade him if he doesn't. But, you know,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: we need a little more common sense in some of
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: these calls, and I think that has to start at
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Park Avenue in New York. I think somebody's got to
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: wake up over there, Roger or one of his lieutenants,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: and you've got to say, wait a minute, this is
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: not the product we're selling.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: Well, my man Rolstad was having a tough night last night.
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: When he announced the review and then said by video
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: review it was reversed, wait a second, hold on one second.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: No, nevermind. We're going back to the original one. That's
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: where you knew all hell was breaking loose, Wayne.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: And I thought you guys were doing a really good
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: job of explaining like on the field. It's one of
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: the reasons why the game got so chippy at the
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: end was because of how poorly it was officiating, how
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: herky jerky it was all night.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: I think you're right, Billy. There was another case and
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I was talking to Ben Lieber, the Viking sideline guy
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: who was doing the national radio analyst for the Westwood one.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: And I saw him at halftime and said, there was
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: a point right in this late second quarter where there
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: was a penalty and they were going to market like
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: at the 40 something yard line. And then the next
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: thing you know, it's at the 20 something yard. And
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: you're sitting and saying, nobody could understand what happened there.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I thought I totally missed something. I thought I blacked out,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: missed something, you know, 30 seconds or whatever. And it
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: was just like, these guys were really hard to follow
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: just spotting the ball. So, um, no, I don't think
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: this was a great officiating crew, but I also sympathize
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: with what officials in the game today have to do
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: and how they have to call these games.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: And coaches adapt quickly.
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: I think what the Packers need to do is if
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: they're going to run golden and Watson to the left
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: side of the field, I want Tucker craft to find
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: the nearest defender on the right side of the field
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: and just run into him and get that illegal contact
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: play when you need a first down, because it's 40
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: yards from the play, but they're calling it.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: So you might as well try to get it, try
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: to milk it.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Right, sir. Exactly. And you know, there's several situations like, um,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: pass interference, some of the hand fighting going on. And,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: you know, one of the reasons you call pass interference
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: is because somebody grabbed or somebody got an advantage one
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: way or the other. And you make the call then.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: But a lot of times it's just hand fighting and
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: they pick a side to call a penalty on. And
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: it's like nobody had an advantage in that situation. And
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: they throw a flag on the defender, not nine times
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: out of 10.
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: It's been rough to watch. Well, hey, it's easier to
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: watch when the Packers win, as they did. Big game
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: coming up. A lot of ramifications on Sunday at Ford Field.
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: We'll talk to you about that on Friday, Wayne. Have
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: a great week. Thanks for hanging out with us.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: All right, guys, take care. We'll talk to you Friday.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: Wayne Larrabee, voice of the Green Bay Packers, brought to
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: us by Miller Lite by Pottawatomie Sportsbook.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: We'll be there Thursday with Wayne Larrabee, as a.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Matter of fact.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's right. Wayne Larrabee is with us Thursday. It's
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: a Wayne week.
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: And we're going to have Bon Jovi tickets to give away.
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: You have to be there to win. So we'll have
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: a pair of Bon Jovi tickets.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: First concert.
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: To see that at Soldier Field coming up July 21st.
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: That'll be epic.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: And yeah, so we get You get the voice of
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: the Packers.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah. And there's this little baseball game that we're going
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: to be getting excited for and getting ready for coming
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: up there on Thursday. I like the shout outs last
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: night at a Lambeau field. If you weren't in the crowd,
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: they let the crowd know a lot of different times.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: I'll fire it up. They were for the crew that
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: never used to happen. The church and state, we never
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: had the Packers. The Brewers have always done that.
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: When they play on Sunday, they'll put the Packers score
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: up if they're at the same time, and they'll get
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: a big pop.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: The Packers never used to do that. They've softened in that.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: I like it.
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: And Larry had a nice minute on the broadcast last
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: night congratulating the Brewers, talking about their process and how
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: it's been great.
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: It's been fantastic. It's been fantastic. All right, so when
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: we come back, Matt LaFleur at the podium up at
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: Green Bay. We'll see what he said about the things
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: that we're talking about and the things that we saw.
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: When we watched the game and rewatched it, you're in
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: the huddle Fox sports radio, Wisconsin. And drew billion arm
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: and bringing it to you on this Monday in the
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: good land. Victory Monday, victory chicken Monday Packers beating the
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: Cowboys 2313. We just spoke to the voice of the Packers,
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: Wayne Larravee. And as we were chatting, Matt Lafleur was
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: meeting with reporters, answering some of the questions that we've
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: been asking.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: So, uh, let's take you there.
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: Let's go to, uh, Matt LaFleur's presser up at 1265
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: right here on the huddle.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: Anybody else sleepy in here? These night games take a
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: lot out of you.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: I like you to stick around.
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: I tried to get out of here at a decent hour,
• 25:56
  Speaker 10: but then, you know, typically there's emotions after a game.
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: It's hard to kind of decompress. So I was up
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: pretty late, a lot later than I wanted to be.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: Putting together clips of them roughing the calls. May have
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: been some of that, yes.
• 26:16
  Speaker 10: You know, I think just in regards to all that stuff,
• 26:21
  Speaker 10: at the end of the day, you just want it
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: to be called both ways. So if they're going to
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: call it one way, it should be called for the
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: other team as well. And I feel like there's been
• 26:30
  Speaker 10: a lot of times when Jordan's taken some close to
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: potential roughing calls and.
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: He's not getting the calls.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Do you think he's a victim of being as good
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: as he is when he's getting hit?
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 26:45
  Speaker 10: I think he needs to be more of an a-hole
• 26:48
  Speaker 10: to the officials or lobby for some of those calls.
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: You see some guys do it, and it works.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I asked three of.
• 26:58
  Speaker 11: Your players actually to be on my side about it
• 27:00
  Speaker 11: because it seems like it's on the rise around the league.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know if there was a– and I've talked about.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: This with you week one. The rest are here.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Well, the new emphasis is on things like that.
• 27:12
  Speaker 11: I mean, there's a definition of it, but it looks
• 27:15
  Speaker 11: like it's pretty hard to execute.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: Well, here's what I can tell you. We can only control.
• 27:20
  Speaker 10: Our actions out there. And there were a couple hits. Like,
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: you cannot go high on a quarterback. You've got to
• 27:30
  Speaker 10: make sure that you're going in the strike zone. And then, obviously,
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: if you do have them wrapped up, you've got to
• 27:38
  Speaker 10: make sure you don't land on them with your body weight.
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: As far as some of those other calls, you know,
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: I thought Van Ness's wasn't a– what's the definition? You get, like,
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: a step before you have to hit the quarterback, and
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: I didn't think it was a forceful hit to the quarterback.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Was the ball out of his hands?
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: It was out of his hands.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: It's 6-0. I'm roughing the passer calls.
• 28:07
  Speaker 12: I mean, like in the NBA, you hear the coaches,
• 28:10
  Speaker 12: they work the referees during the game.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: They work them during press conferences.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: You're saying they're not working them good enough. I don't know.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: I guess that's part of me. Is there anything you
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: can do to put the.
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: I'm going to make sure. I'm going to make sure.
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: I'm going to tell them next week, guys, that Bill
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: Huber told me that I need to get on you guys.
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: Huh?
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: Is that what he's right?
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Matt, you still.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: You have to teach your guys how to avoid those, right?
• 28:34
  Speaker 12: But when they don't seem to fit the letter of
• 28:36
  Speaker 12: the law, how do you do that?
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Like, what do you tell them about, you don't want
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: the 15 yard.
• 28:42
  Speaker 11: Penalty, but it wasn't high.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: He didn't land on him. It wasn't late.
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: What do you, how do you, yeah, you just, I
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: don't know. You just keep it moving. So, I mean,
• 28:51
  Speaker 10: after every game, we'll send those in, we'll see what
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: they say. Um, and then I obviously can't tell you
• 28:57
  Speaker 10: guys about what they say, but, um, It helps us
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: educate our players. And at the end of the day,
• 29:04
  Speaker 10: that's our job. We've got to educate them on what
• 29:07
  Speaker 10: they can and cannot do and make sure that we
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: try to coach them up. And they've got to control
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: themselves in the moment.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: So for Lucas.
• 29:14
  Speaker 12: And Carl, do you just keep playing that way and
• 29:17
  Speaker 12: hope that's all right?
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: Well, I thought Carl's, I mean, it did look like
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: body weight.
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: So that's one where you have to peel off them
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: as best you can. I know there was some discussion
• 29:32
  Speaker 10: amongst that play with the staff in regards to whether
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: or not it was roughing.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: So I think some guys saw it one way, some
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: guys saw it another way.
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: On the one where Watson was knocked down by contact,
• 29:43
  Speaker 11: it looked like your sideline was pretty vocal about.
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: Telling him to go.
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: Is that just too hard to hear?
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: Is there anything else you guys could have done?
• 29:51
  Speaker 10: No, he started to go and he said he saw
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: the official walking in calling for the ball, but like
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: I said, well, that's going to be a great one
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: to learn from for all of us. If you don't
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: hear a whistle, I don't care who's calling for the ball.
• 30:05
  Speaker 10: You take it to the house because, I mean, they
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: gave him the progress where he gave the ball up,
• 30:10
  Speaker 10: but certainly missed out on a touchdown right there.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: It was like three.
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: Extra yards or something like that after he got up. Oh, no,
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: it was more than that, yeah. He got like 10
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: yards after. There was no whistle. No. They didn't touch
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: him down.
• 30:30
  Speaker 10: I'm sure every team in the league will be showing
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: that clip. You've got a rookie right there that didn't
• 30:38
  Speaker 10: tag the guy down. That's something that we always stress
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: to especially our younger players.
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: You've got to tag that guy down.
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: With Jordan, you've talked a.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Lot about that no-flinch quality. Is that something that he came.
• 30:51
  Speaker 12: Into the NFL with, just being able to hang in
• 30:53
  Speaker 12: the pocket, take.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Those hits, or has that developed over time?
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: I think that's something that I know when we're scouting
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: quarterbacks and we're evaluating them, to me that's a prerequisite. Now,
• 31:09
  Speaker 10: not to say that you can't overcome that, but usually
• 31:13
  Speaker 10: the old chuck and duck isn't too good for anybody.
• 31:19
  Speaker 10: You always try to find guys that will stand in
• 31:22
  Speaker 10: there and deliver in the face of pressure. It's hard
• 31:25
  Speaker 10: to find pockets like that in college football. So what
• 31:30
  Speaker 10: we like to do is take a lot of the
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: clips where you see a muddy pocket or you see
• 31:35
  Speaker 10: guys blitzing the quarterback and just see how they react
• 31:39
  Speaker 10: to those because that's almost every play in the National
• 31:43
  Speaker 10: Football League.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: That was the plan for Jacobs this week?
• 31:48
  Speaker 10: He'll be out of practice on Wednesday and he'll get
• 31:51
  Speaker 10: a full week of practice.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: With what he has been able to do Well, I.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: Think that's to be determined. We feel like he's in
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: a pretty good spot.
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: I mean, he's been training, but he's missed the exposure
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: to football.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you a really good question about Jacobs
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: last night. Now that you've had a chance to watch
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: the film, can Josh get the running game going again?
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Based on the entire big.
• 32:25
  Speaker 10: Picture of what's I think he's an elite level back.
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: He's certainly not going to hurt it. I think he
• 32:33
  Speaker 10: can provide a spark. I think that's what I said
• 32:35
  Speaker 10: last night.
• 32:35
  Speaker 12: Is it possible to put him out there on a
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: limited snap count or touch count in Detroit or would
• 32:41
  Speaker 12: you rather him be fully ready to go, no limitations before.
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: He's on the field?
• 32:47
  Speaker 10: I think that's going to be determined throughout the course
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: of the week. See where he's at, see how he's
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: feeling and then we'll make a decision.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: When you see him.
• 32:55
  Speaker 12: Has the run blocking gotten better since the line stabilized
• 33:00
  Speaker 12: or is that still kind.
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: Of a working problem?
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: I think there were some moments where it was good
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: and then there were some moments where it wasn't as
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: good and then there were some moments where quite frankly
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: the concepts had no chance based on different front structures
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: that they were presenting to us and they did a
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: good job. I think any time that you go into
• 33:21
  Speaker 10: a game and the opposition has a little longer to
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: prepare for that. I think there's some unscotted looks that
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: can come up and certainly they caught us in a
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: couple of those looks where we didn't have good plays
• 33:34
  Speaker 10: for what they were showing.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: What did you see from your third down offense? You
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: guys were efficient, but you also had a lot of
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: third and six, seven plus.
• 33:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think that, I mean, that's a key is
• 33:45
  Speaker 10: you need third and shorts and third and medium. That,
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: and we were able to convert on a lot of those.
• 33:53
  Speaker 10: I think the first half we were 9-10. So it
• 33:55
  Speaker 10: was really good in the first half. I thought there
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: was a couple opportunities in the second half. They brought
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: some heat a couple times and we didn't pick it up.
• 34:03
  Speaker 10: But obviously staying in front of the in those manageable
• 34:08
  Speaker 10: situations leads to better success typically.
• 34:12
  Speaker 12: Three game winning streak with the same offensive line.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: There's also obviously issues.
• 34:17
  Speaker 12: How do you balance keeping the momentum going and try
• 34:21
  Speaker 12: to maybe fix some of.
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: The issues with personnel?
• 34:24
  Speaker 10: That's something that you take it one day at a
• 34:26
  Speaker 10: time and you try to evaluate for each day. We're
• 34:30
  Speaker 10: going to try to put the five out there that
• 34:32
  Speaker 10: we believe can go execute consistently and give us the
• 34:36
  Speaker 10: best chance to win.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you've been working at the practice quite a bit,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: but what more can you do Monday through Saturday to
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: get the run game going?
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: Well, you've got to keep working.
• 34:49
  Speaker 10: I mean, there's no simple solution, simple fix.
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: We have some ideas on things that we can do.
• 34:55
  Speaker 10: I'm going to keep that internally in terms of just
• 35:01
  Speaker 10: how we present and how we rep and some of
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: the concepts that we're running that I think that we
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: can get some improvement in that regard.
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: Matt, was there a.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Miscommunication between Love and Golden on the interception? It looked
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: a little off as far as where the ball was
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: being thrown and.
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: Well, so that was an option route.
• 35:22
  Speaker 10: We call it a looky, and he's got the option
• 35:25
  Speaker 10: to slant inside and cross the backer's face, or he
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: basically runs a stick route, and if there's nobody there,
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: then he can just sit down and spot up. But,
• 35:39
  Speaker 10: you know, just looking at it, you know, again, option routes,
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: the timing's not always great, but would have liked to
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: see him try to pry it open inside and we
• 35:51
  Speaker 10: also had a bust on the other side in regards
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: to one of the routes that would have helped open
• 35:57
  Speaker 10: up that window because they were in a shell defense
• 36:00
  Speaker 10: and you really want to get the mic away from
• 36:03
  Speaker 10: where the read is and the mic was sitting right
• 36:04
  Speaker 10: in the middle.
• 36:06
  Speaker 9: Are the strengths of the running backs make it what
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: plays they probably are more successful and make it harder
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: to make some of those calls? Are they different? Is
• 36:16
  Speaker 9: one player Marshall Lloyd better at than.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: I think there's some of that that can go into play.
• 36:22
  Speaker 10: And I think you've got to be cognizant of that
• 36:24
  Speaker 10: as the play caller and then just make sure you've
• 36:27
  Speaker 10: got the back in there that you want. And that's
• 36:30
  Speaker 10: something that we'll tag from time to time.
• 36:33
  Speaker 9: But you can't be.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Predictable about that, right?
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: Like every time Caleb Johnson's been running inside the goal.
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: Sure. Yeah, absolutely.
• 36:40
  Speaker 10: I think those are tendencies that you've got to look at.
• 36:43
  Speaker 10: And seeing who's in the game, that's what the defense
• 36:47
  Speaker 10: is looking at.
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: They want to know.
• 36:50
  Speaker 10: And just, I mean, being on the headsets, they know
• 36:53
  Speaker 10: what could be coming based on a certain back, a
• 36:56
  Speaker 10: certain tight end, if a certain wide out gets in
• 36:59
  Speaker 10: the game. So you've just got to be cognizant of
• 37:02
  Speaker 10: what you put on tape.
• 37:03
  Speaker 11: That won't make a practice this week?
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: He will not.
• 37:06
  Speaker 11: So with a short week next week, you don't really
• 37:09
  Speaker 11: practice that. Are we looking at possibly the earliest he
• 37:13
  Speaker 11: would get on the field for practice this week?
• 37:16
  Speaker 10: Well, I think that's going to be to be determined
• 37:19
  Speaker 10: as well in regards to, I think, there's things that
• 37:25
  Speaker 10: you could do on a short week if you've got
• 37:28
  Speaker 10: a guy like that that you're trying to get primed
• 37:30
  Speaker 10: and ready to go. But, again, he's got to clear
• 37:33
  Speaker 10: some hurdles yet before we get to that point.
• 37:36
  Speaker 12: Now, going back to Josh for a second, obviously he
• 37:39
  Speaker 12: couldn't practice and he obviously couldn't play in games the
• 37:42
  Speaker 12: last six weeks.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: What have you had him doing?
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Has he been to some meetings?
• 37:48
  Speaker 11: What has his connectivity been like for.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: These six weeks? He could go to meetings.
• 37:54
  Speaker 10: He could lift with our strength coaches and condition with them.
• 37:59
  Speaker 10: He couldn't go to any of the team activities, the
• 38:03
  Speaker 10: practices and whatnot. He's been engaged and he's been working out.
• 38:10
  Speaker 11: He's obviously not like Zeitler who was off on his
• 38:12
  Speaker 11: own for so long.
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: Do you think it's realistic that he can, because of that.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Time in meetings and everything else, it's possible for him to.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: Hit the ground running?
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely. I think that's possible. But, again, we've got
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: to go through the week and just see where he's at.
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: Speaking of Zeitler, is he ready to go?
• 38:31
  Speaker 10: He's getting better, yeah. He's gotten better. He's getting more comfortable.
• 38:34
  Speaker 10: He's moving better. I think he's feeling more comfortable with
• 38:38
  Speaker 10: the scheme. So, again, it's kind of going to be
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: a day-by-day thing.
• 38:43
  Speaker 12: I don't want to speak out of turn, but I'm
• 38:45
  Speaker 12: guessing that you at least saw the possibility that this
• 38:48
  Speaker 12: would be how Josh started his season back in training camp.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Like it didn't completely catch.
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: You by surprise when it happened.
• 38:53
  Speaker 12: So how'd you handle training camp with him? Like, did
• 38:57
  Speaker 12: you try to ramp him up then as much as
• 38:59
  Speaker 12: he could go or did you kind of parcel that out?
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: How'd you handle that?
• 39:04
  Speaker 10: No, we, I mean, we handled it like I didn't
• 39:07
  Speaker 10: know what was going to happen. So you just handled
• 39:09
  Speaker 10: it like, you know, he's going to be a part
• 39:12
  Speaker 10: of it and, until they made a decision.
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: Interesting stuff from Matt Lafleur live from Lambeau field. Micah Parsons,
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: not practicing this week. Josh Jacobs will get a full
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: week of practice and sounds to me like he's training
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: towards playing on Sunday.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: I think that one's going to be a quick insertion.
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: The, thing for the return for Micah, it continues to
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: get more and more muddy, Drew, in this Thursday night
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: game after Detroit throws another big wrench into the plan.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: It's looking like it's later and later. Middle of November
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: looks like the timeline. I'm thinking that LA game on
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: Thanksgiving Eve. Blackout Wednesday. Micah Parsons, back.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Blackout Wednesday.
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: It might be good night Wednesday for the LA Rams
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: by the time we get to LA. I thought that
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: game was going to be for control of the NFC. Drew,
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: they might be fighting for their playoff lives when we
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: get there. I thought they were going to be having
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: an undefeated record by that.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
• 40:07
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: Clown show. You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew, Billy,
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: and Armin.
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: Victory Monday in the good land.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: 877-794-1973.
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: Get to the NicoletLaw.com talking text line. Get us your
• 40:25
  Speaker 7: game balls and kicks to the balls, because we're going
• 40:26
  Speaker 7: to have to do that in the next hour, along
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: with Who's Hot, Who's Not, and the current electric superhero
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: of the day. Plus, we're going to give away a
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: pair of tickets to see Bon Jovi at Soldier Field.
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: Tickets don't go on sale until next Friday. You can
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: win them before you can buy them, and they'll be
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: much cheaper than World Series tickets, but still a great show.
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: July 21st, Soldier Field, Bon Jovi.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: Playing.
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: We'll have a pair of tickets to give away today,
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: and then a pair of tickets at the Thursday Night
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: Huddle at Pottawatomie Sportsbook.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Let's go. Bon Jovi, my first ever concert I ever
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: went to. That's a good one. Where was it, Billy?
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Over at the Amphitheater, Summerfest Ground. That's a good one.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: That's a cool band to say that you saw early.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: Went with my mom, and I do remember a moment
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: where I looked at my mom and said, so are
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: we going to stand this whole time?
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: And she said, what?
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: That's kind of what we came for. Until they play Runaway, Billy.
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: I wonder if that's going to be any folks that
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: go to the World Series.
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: Wait.
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: Spent $ 4, 000 for this seat in 129? Are we really
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: going to stand this whole time? Probably, as long as
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: the whole team gives you a reason to.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Young Billy asking his mama, are we there yet?
• 41:33
  Speaker 8: And she's like, we're halfway there. Oh, yeah, 100%.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Arm and nail on that one.
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: Hey, we're also going to have a special guest in
• 41:41
  Speaker 7: the 4 o'clock hour of the program. Hunter Baumgart's going
• 41:43
  Speaker 7: to drop by because he is hosting a little special
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: baseball program.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: He's doing it all week.
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: 5 o'clock hour. 5 o'clock hour is going to be
• 41:50
  Speaker 7: Hunter Baumgart. So that's going to be sweet.
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: It is so cool to just think about all that
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: Hunter was able to experience, see out there, Drew, and
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: then to be able to tell the stories for, I mean,
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: this week. As Brewer's Fever, I mean, I know the song,
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: I said, be a believer in Brewer's Fever. I have
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: seen more people that would laugh in my face if
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: I would have suggested to turn on a Brewers game
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: in the middle of July.
• 42:15
  Speaker 8: I know, right?
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: Talking about how dialed in they've been on all... It
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: is sweeping the state, no doubt about it. Going across
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: the state this weekend and driving around, I saw more
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: Brewers hats than anything else and more than I've ever
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: seen across state, man. It is really, really cool what
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: this team has been able to do galvanizing this crew.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: It really.
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: It messes with your time-space continuum, kind of.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: It's a great call.
• 42:43
  Speaker 7: Because that Churrio hit against the Padres was two weeks ago.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Wow, two weeks.
• 42:49
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: Doesn't that feel like that was the biggest moment in Brewers' hit,
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: and then we've had money more since?
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: And now they're not going to play another game for
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: another five days?
• 42:57
  Speaker 8: It is kind of weird to lay off. Although I
• 42:59
  Speaker 8: do like Bask in the Glory. I don't, however, like
• 43:02
  Speaker 8: the record of the team that wins. The record since 09,
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: the team that won the LCS first is not good,
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: so I'm not thinking about that.
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: Don't think about it. I'm thinking about it. I was
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: going to say, it sounds like you're thinking about it. No,
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: we won the pennant.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: It just doesn't matter. But yeah, it seems wild. We're
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: in heady times here. It's going to be a big week.
• 43:22
  Speaker 7: Oh, by the way, meanwhile, back here among the tire
• 43:23
  Speaker 7: and strip club ads, the Bucs begin their season on
• 43:26
  Speaker 7: Wednesday night.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: Holy cats. Home opener Friday at 3 p.m. We're green
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: and growing. Come on now. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Classic.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: We live in interesting times. You're in the huddle. Fox
