Packers Training Camp Live - 8/26/26 - Hour 2 · The Huddle

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals have had the longest camp out of anybody,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: them and the Panthers playing the Hall of Fame game, Wayne.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: And for this to be the capper, we're seeing Javon
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Bullard working out in front of us. That's exciting to
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: see as he's working his way back. Both teams getting
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: closer to full health and full strength as we get
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: into live action in two and a half weeks. But
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: this is as close to live as you can find
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: in the preseason.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. And good work. This is, I mean, this practice, Bill,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I would say carries more weight whether the football people
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: will admit it or not, than any other practice because
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: you're going up against another team. And, you know, this
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: means something, a little bit more than a typical daily
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: practice going against your own team.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And you're seeing some special teams in front of us
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: at the moment. Kick return for the Packers. Kick coverage
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: for the Cardinals as Sky Moore and Bo Melton getting
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: some looks.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Also, our guy Pierre Strong Jr.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Pierre Strong Jr.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Who's going to be a fascinating player.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Coming up on Friday night. 68 yards. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: And he had a stutter step on the far side, Wayne,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: earlier on in the drill that looked very similar to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the kick that he returned the other night against the Broncos.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Going to be a tough cut.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to see how he runs in the live
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: portions coming up here today.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: That was the best kickoff return we had seen in Denver,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: 68 yards, Pierre Strong Jr. Since Keyshawn Nixon decided. He
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: ain't going to return kicks.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: He's not going to return kicks anymore. I'm going to
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: be the cornerback one.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And instead, we'll see that cornerback being tested against some
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: wide receivers from the cards. We mentioned the names and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the biggest one being Marvin Harrison Jr. And also just
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: seeing how the Packers' wide receivers work against this secondary,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Buda Baker's the headliner. I mentioned Will Johnson when JP
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: was here in our number one voice of the Cardinals.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: That's a true, I think, number one corner for your
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: guys to be able to go and try to get
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: open against. Matthew Golden's looked phenomenal during camp. Another one
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to be able to put it into practice here today.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: You know, with Will Johnson and Denzel Burke at the
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: corners of their defense, they've got two young guys they
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: can really build with. Sean Murphy Bunting is the nickel cornerback.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: We remember him, of course, mostly with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: He's a veteran in his seventh year. Buda Baker, probably
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: as good as it gets, wouldn't you say, at safety?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, he makes plays just outstanding. 120 tackles last year. Yeah,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: really good, really good. Now we're seeing the Cardinal return
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: game against the Packers. Special teams coverage on kickoff returns.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: You know, both teams, this is the stage of camp, folks,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: where they've run a lot of, like J.P. was mentioning, hey,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: they brought on three new safeties last week in Arizona.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: The Packers bring on a different DB or wide receiver,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: it seems like, every week here, too. Almost, yeah. due
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: to injuries mostly, folks. They just have to kind of
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: fill out the roster for these practices.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Well, and we talked about it as well at the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: tight end spot. I think both teams might be in
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the running in the market to try to find somebody
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: during cut-down time that they might think fits into their
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: system a little bit more that they can play because
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: both teams right now, it looks like, are about three
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: deep at the position. I think ideally in the NFL,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: anybody would tell you you want to have four at
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that spot, right?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. No doubt about it. And this is where you've...
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's where you discover those guys. You know, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: there's a little Packers flavor on this Arizona team. Kalen King,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: remember him, cornerback?
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Former draft pick, yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Former draft pick, late round draft pick, seventh rounder, but
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: he's trying to make this team and has had a
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: pretty good camp from what I understand with Arizona.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: And as you think about it, these are two of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the oldest rivals in pro football, two of the oldest teams.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: In pro football.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Second oldest rivalry in NFL history behind just the Cards
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and the Bears between the Packers and Cardinals here, so
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a good one to be able to Enjoy for the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: history buffs like.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Us as well. A little history there, huh? Wayne. You
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: minored in it, obviously, at Carroll College.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I got it sitting right there.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I majored in annoying people, minored in useless NFL history.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: But the useful stuff is allowing our local stations 10
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: seconds to identify themselves.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: 10 for an ID. You have training camp live on
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: High fashion day at Ray Nitschke Field as the Packers
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: take on the Arizona Cardinals in a joint practice and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks off to the far side working everybody's favorite family
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: night drill trying to toss that ball into the basket
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: all the way into the far corner look like Jordan
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Love just hit a net a couple of seconds ago
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: those guys will be throwing to real life receivers coming
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: up momentarily in front of us the team portion runs
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: with Cardinals kick return coverage against the Packers kickoff coverage
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and Trey Smack and company Wayne there'll be a lot
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of time to talk smack no pun intended coming up
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: during the regular season he's looked Really good in the preseason,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: we've mentioned that. But the coverage units for Cam Acord, man,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: they really weren't that bad a year ago. I know
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Matt LaFleur mentioned it when the transition from Rich Passaccia
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: came down. But as we talk about special teams being
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a key cog, hopefully, for the Packers in 2026, This
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: is one spot that they were a little bit better
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: than people gave it maybe some credit for in 25, no?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were. You know, you look at the coverage units.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, opponents average is 25.8 yard line. That's 15th
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: in the league. You know, when you look at opponents'
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: returns in the punt game, 10.6 per return. That was 18th.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: So we saw improvement under Rich Passaccia in the coverage game.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I think that's pretty clear. They found a punter in
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Daniel Whelan. under Rich Passaccia. But, you know, they've kind
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of spun their wheels, obviously, with the kicking situation. Hopefully,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Trey Smack answers that bell this year. He's been very good.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: You know, I think it's harder for him to make
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: field goals here on this practice field than it is
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: in any stadium. He's 7-for-7 of the preseason with the
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: lights on, and I just think he's, you know, the kids,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: if he is what they hope he is, then... their
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: special teams is going to be good because I think
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Sky Moore is going to give them a return game.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: We've already seen that a couple of times so far
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: in this joint practice working out so far for the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Packers and Cardinals. Team portions will get underway coming up
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: in a second. Right now we have scouting up as
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: we finish up the special teams work right here. Both
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: teams have commissioned as we have some NFL officials here
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: getting work in and getting ready to roll.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: I think maybe the best news here, as Wayne, as
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I check that out, does that mean that we don't
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: have to hear... A Ron Tolbert call?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: That's a good thing to be able to have to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: go through on the entire, or a Trey Blake situation,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: rolling through on the officiating calls of the penalties. But
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: as something that the Packers have been bit by in
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the preseason, as there have been a combined like 20
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: penalties in each of these preseason games, it is preseason
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: for everybody. But knocking off that rust, I know that
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: was one thing Matt LaFleur was none too pleased with
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: on family night up here.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they were clean in the first half at
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh and then had some penalty issues second half. You
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: see a lot of that in the preseason. Oftentimes your
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: starters generally know how to play a little bit more,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: and you get your second-line, third-line people trying to make
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the football team, and obviously sometimes penalties crop up in
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the effort that they're making. So, you know, hey, listen,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: all of this is moot once we get to kickoff
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: in September, okay? So we can labor on all these
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: analytics of preseason football, but none of it matters once
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: we hit and they kick off for real.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And not a ton of it will matter once the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: pads start clashing as the Packers offense will take the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: first reps here going up against the Arizona first-team defense,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and Packers will trot out the offensive line that we've
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: seen be in the mainstays and the first unit for
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the majority of the last week with Jordan Morgan starting
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: up over at left side, Aaron Banks the left guard
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: in there rolling in team, ready to rock, Sean Ryan
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: at center, Jacob Monk's been the right guard, and he
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: seems to have solidified that position, no doubt. Next to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Zach Bacoboele getting some full reps rolling in here. We
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: saw Jagger Burton getting some run at center earlier on
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: today during the walk-through portion.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: See if that's the look.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Or if he's immediately the first guy in for Aaron
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Banks over at left guard. But now he gets a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: roll as the Cardinals' first-team defense takes on the Packers'
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: first-team offense here with two tight end sets.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Good to see. Tucker Kraft tight on the line, right side,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: and Wiley is on the wing left, and there's a
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: little play-action pass from Love and wide open over the middle.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Sitting down in the zone, Christian Watson.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: And to see, as much as we've talked about Matthew Golden-Wayne,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I had a friend of mine ask me about Christian Watson.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I said it's been very steady in the camp for
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Watson from a year ago where we're only watching him
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: in the rehab group.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Excited and not only.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: With a freshly compensated Christian Watson, but seemingly the healthiest
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: he's been going into a season.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Without a doubt, Billy, and he didn't have to spend
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: the offseason rehabbing an injury. He got ready for the season,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: so he's way ahead of where he was a year ago.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And didn't have to go down to the University of
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin and get any looks at his hamstring. As healthy
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: as maybe you've been in quite some time as Josh
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Jacobs rumbles through the right side of the offensive line
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and breaks way for you.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Looked like a nice hole opened up on the interior
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: of the line and He kind of slashed it off
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: right guard and found a lot of running room.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And into the backfield with Jaden Reed lined up next
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to Josh Jacobs.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: An exciting one as well.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And now the Packers first team defense going off to
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the left side against the Arizona first team offense. Heard
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a good cheer and excitement and some Coop chances. Edrin
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Cooper makes a play off to the left side.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Coop.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: We got double-barreled action here.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we do. What are you watching?
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Training camp red zone.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: We got a better look at Jordan Love right now.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And Jordan Love fires one off to Josh Jacobs off
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the left side.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Good blocking on the screen pass off there.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: You know, Jaden Reed is out in front of that
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: play engaging his man and helping Josh get around the corner. So,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: you know, I got to figure this offense has got
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: to feel a whole lot better working against somebody besides
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: their defense. You know what I mean?
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Totally.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Because it's just been, yeah, it's been a grind this summer.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Packers offense against Packers defense.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: And that's one of the best reasons for these joint
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: practices is you get a look at understanding practice. where
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you might be the strongest, where you have really validated
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and what you've seen in camp. The proof is going
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to be hopefully in the pudding coming up here as
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs cuts that one back off a duo.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: They really sealed off the left side of that defense
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: or offensive line, left side of the offensive line, right
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: side of the defense. Jacobs made a nice little cutback,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: well blocked it looked like.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: That's twice on those cutbacks off to the right side
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: where it's appeared Jacob Monk has had a really strong
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: seal to allow the cutback lane and On the other side,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Evan Williams blasts through the hole to make a play
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: into the backfield as the Packers' defense seemingly picking up
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: right where they've left off for the majority of camp.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: On to the far side, the rotation, I know it's
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: not surprising to some, Keyshawn Nixon, Brandon Cisse. The two
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: corners getting the first-team reps over there. That appears to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: be the pairing as a fake orbit motion to Sky
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Moore finds Christian Watson on a beautiful.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: deep out to the left side.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Boy, I tell you, looking on the other side, Billy,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: while you were looking at that, I'm watching Jacoby Brissett
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: try under pressure immediately on a blitz off the edge.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: It appeared by McKinney, and that forced a quick check
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: down and right there with the linebacker to take the
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: running back out behind the line of scrimmage. So what
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: we're seeing, you know, this is what you kind of
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: want to see. Let's confirm, is this defense really playing
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: at a different level?
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: And the sideline-to-sideline nature of the two linebackers, I mean...
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Six years ago, the NFL was broken by Devin White
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: and Levante David there.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: In Tampa Bay. Everybody dreaming of having that kind of
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: a pairing.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: It's why Quay Walker was drafted. That's the hope, right? Yep.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: The thought of you can find that kind of group,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and you can play defense the way you want to,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: go sideline to sideline.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Not much doing on that run up the middle.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Tyler Algiers on the run. He's a physical back, an
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: acquisition from Atlanta to supplement this running back core, but
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: it's going to be Jeremiah Love, and he's not practicing
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: here today but when he's ready to go he's good
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: he's dynamic.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Man they are going to be a fascinating run offense
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Wayne because I mean Jeremiah Love we talked about throughout
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the the draft process the best player he was the
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: best player I thought in the draft bar none this
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: year and James Connor has been the like the leader
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: in the the bell cow for that team for the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: last couple of years and they're going to be able
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to run the football no doubt about it is some
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: play action off to the Packers offensive side Jordan Love
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: gets quick bump but he's got It's Bo Melton, and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: it's broken up on the play and the good, tight
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: coverage down there into the far corner. I think that
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: was his little brother-on-brother crime, as I think that was
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: one Max Melton breaking it away from Bo Melton down
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: there on a deep cross.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: It might have been Ketrell Clark, 13, but I'm not sure.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was 13.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a 16. See, the rolled-up jerseys, Wayne,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: they're going to get us all day.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, I hate it.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: They're going to get us all day on those jerseys.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: This is fun double-barrel action, and the folks at Ray
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Nitschke Field, whether you lined up on one side of
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the field or the other, you're getting treated.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: To some up-close and personal action.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Great stuff. There's Sky Moore with that little orbit motion.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: That's a little flip from Jordan Love and takes it
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: around the left end. A lot of action, you know,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: in the backfield of Green Bay this year. I'm seeing
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: also a lot more. They're doing a lot more of
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: that jet-sweep type action and that type of thing this year.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: and there's a lot of pre-snap motion, and do they
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: hand it to the guy? Do they toss it to the,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: you know, is that motion going to get the ball
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: or not? But it's a lot of eye candy for
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: a defense to digest.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: That phrase right there, the eye candy, it gives so
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: many looks that can be really confusing and confounding for
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a team, and when you have somebody that when you
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: get him the football in space can be a difference
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: maker like Sky Moore seemingly is, and we've seen him
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: in the return game be that in the NFL already.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I think you're going to see a ton of that
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: coming up week one in Minnesota and beyond.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Second team against Cardinals. Second team Packers defense out there.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: And Bam Knight. Zonovan Bam Knight got the carry. He's
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: had a very good camp for this team. 73 yards,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: averaging almost five yards, a carry in three games.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: A couple of interesting ones over here on the left
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: side where the second team Cardinal offense going up against
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: second team Packers defense. featuring Carrington Valentine and number 20,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Damani Jackson. He has not gotten a lot of run
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: during Camp Wayne in any team portions, has Jackson, simply
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: because of the injuries that he's nursed.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Good to see him out there being able to compete
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: with the second team now.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: You know, he's what, their sixth round draft choice? Yeah. And,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: you know, a guy that, boy, when you look at him, folks,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: when he gets off the bus, you say, that's an
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: NFL cornerback right there. He has all the physical tools.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: And big in physical, played at Mater Dei High School,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: which is one of, the elite of the elite high
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: school programs in the country. So there's real ability there
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and excited to see if he's able to get a
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: full run and opportunity into, and Kamal Haddon gets right into,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: was that BAM night that he connected with right in
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the middle of that defensive line. Man, Kamal Haddon's play style,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I know they talk about it and that buzzword gets
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: thrown out a lot, He plays the exact way that
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: you want a defender to be able to.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: I agree. I agree wholeheartedly. I know the coaching staff
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: is excited about seeing him back on the field. Came
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: back from that gruesome injury in Denver last year. Everybody
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: focuses so much on how the Packers lost Micah Parsons.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: That was the big news in Denver, obviously. But Kamal
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Haddon was coming on and playing good football, and he
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: would have been a factor at the cornerback spot down
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: the stretch last year. They had plans for him, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: he went out in that Denver game and was unable
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: to return obviously went on ir.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Packers first team defense back out against the first team
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: cardinal oh davante wyatt anchoring the middle of that defense
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: it looks like that's carl brooks lined up right next
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: to him as well kamal hadden getting a look in
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: there with the first team defense getting some reps off
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: to the left side paris johnson jr a former number
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: six overall pick at left tackle that's a good test
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: for lucas vaness to be trying to get around because
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: uh Van Ness has given the Packers a lot of
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: fits on their first-team offense. Again, validation, but for Van Ness,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: a good confidence boost to be able to build off
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: of what he's already done in the preseason, which has
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: been impressive.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, and you're right, Paris Johnson out of left tackle
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: for the Cardinals.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: That ball intercepted by the Packers.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Got an interception.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I think that was Brandon Cisse.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And I want to say Cissé' s first interception of camp,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're exactly right.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: He has been around the football consistently. He's made a
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: ton of plays. He's been very consistent. But he hasn't
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: necessarily had that splash play until right now. It's a
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: good day to be able to have the first. Jordan
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Love uncorks a deep shot to a wide.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Matthew Golden, did he haul it in? Yes, he did
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: for the touchdown. My goodness. Between two defenders, they beat
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Buda Baker on that play. And then the quarterback over there,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I believe Denzel Burke.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: And Baker came over, closed the gap quickly, Wayne. I
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: thought he was wide open.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Until that ball descended and then two collapsed upon Golden
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: as he stands up in the end zone with the football.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Great play. Great hands by Golden, too. We've talked so
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: much about him this year, building on this program, how
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: well he's running his routes and how he's always open,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: it seems like. But what he has and what he's
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: had since day one are the best hands on the team. Amen.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: He has been as consistent in that realm as anybody,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and he has showed off and showed out every single day.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: And that ball deep on a crosser to Jaden Reed
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: as he finds an opening.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: And then finds Paydirt running away from.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: The turtle defense. Here we go, Jacoby Brissett, Marvin Harrison, Jr.,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: down the sidelines. Brissett couldn't find anybody open. Here's the
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: other thing.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: A lot of pressure in that backfield.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: We haven't talked a lot about, yeah, there's been pressure
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: in the backfield, you know, with the first-ring defense. But
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: we haven't talked about the fact that they've actually covered
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: pretty well down here.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Totally have, yes.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: They really have. Yep. And, you know, it's– I'm really
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: interested to see how this defense comes together for the
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: regular season. I'm really encouraged by what I've seen.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Here comes the Packers' first-team offense with Jordan Love orchestrating
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the runs here to the side and changing the play
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage as we get. Jordan Love
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: fires one off to the right side, and there.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Is Matthew Golden working once again. And again, yep, against Burke.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Starting cornerback Denzel Burke. Fifth rounder out of Ohio State
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: thrown into the mix is a rookie, made three interceptions
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: last year to lead the team.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: That's a position where you see a lot of young
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: and youth play right out of the gates. It is
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: not one that you necessarily have to wait a ton for.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Packers offense, number one offense, number one defense. This is
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: what you came here for. Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr.,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the pass catcher is off to the left side. Denied
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Dennis Sutton getting some run. Javon Hargrave, Devontae Wyatt, and
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Barron Sorrell, the four-man front for the Packers defense working here.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Against the Cardinals at the moment.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett, quick outlet pass, and that's to Wilson, Michael Wilson.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Michael Wilson put up some really good numbers a year ago.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: 78 receptions, just over 1,000 yards, Billy. Average almost 13
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: yards a catch and seven touchdowns for Michael Wilson last year.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: And again, not in a great situation.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: No, no doubt about it.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: And a lot of those later into the year, he
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: was a menace for fantasy football players late into the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: calendar year.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Trey McBride, I haven't seen him show up yet. He's
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: out there tight end right now for the Arizona Cardinals,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: lining up on the right side of the line.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Took the words right out of my mouth.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't know if it was Zaire Franklin or if
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: it was Edron Cooper covering up most of the time,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: but have not said Trey McBride's name much yet. Looked
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: like nearly a false start and also looked like the
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: guy Dennis Sutton was closely into the lap.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Of Jacoby Brissett.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Ball hits the turf and nearly intercepted by a couple
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: of Packers, but falls harmlessly there. Deny Dennis Sutton, again,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: nearly a week and a half off with the heat exhaustion.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: You're almost kind of out of sight, out of mind
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: in the pass rushing room.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Very excited if he's running with the ones what he
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: can be running.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: With yeah you know and billy you're right it kind
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: of out of sight out of mind and a lot
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: of times when a rookie misses a week or two
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: a training camp it is debilitating in terms of their development.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Rarely are you able to catch back up to the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: point and just pick up where you left off hopefully
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: he's able to because he was having a very very
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: impressive start uh to his first nfl camp gardner minshu
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: now quarterbacking the cardinal offense to the left as they
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: send a man off in motion to the right hesitation
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: flip off and Bobbling catch made for the Cardinals off
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: to the left side. The Packers now swap out their
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: first-team offense for their second-team offense led by Kyle McCord.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Good series so far. A couple of good series so far.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I think for the Packers' offensive line, Wayne, I think
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: they've held up decently well, especially off to the left
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: tackle spot as the last guy coming off the field
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: is Jordan Morgan.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: It's been an impressive start here for number 77.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: That's good to see. You know, it's good to see
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: the line billion tack, you know. this week in practice
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: to get that going, get that unit, because they rely
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: so much on cohesiveness and trust of each other, knowing
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: who's doing what. Here's a bomb downfield.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Ah!
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Intercepted.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Intercepted in the deep secondary by the Cardinals. Yeah, that
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: was Ketan Crawford.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Look, they were trying to get to Will Shepard maybe
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: deep on that route. as Kyle McCord throws the interception.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Just a little underthrown as that deep ball had. Maybe
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: a step, step and a half. A lot easier to say.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: A little underthrown here. But a good blitz pickup inside
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the interior. And Jagger Burton locking down the inside. So
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: there was a spot for McCord to still be able
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: to step up and deliver the goods.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Jagger is at center right now. And Kennard is at
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: right guard and Belton at right tackle.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Not much Kennard at guard last year.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: No.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Kind of gets beat on that one.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Rusher ends up falling to the turf as the ball
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: hits the turf, intended for J. Michael Sturdivant. Kennard's a
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: fascinating name here because I think Burton's played very, very
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: well playing his way through and maybe onto the team.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I think John Williams has played his way potentially onto
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the team. Some of those guys that you don't necessarily
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: think about. Travis Glover's now been around the program for
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: a while, and he trots out there. Some decisions to
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: be made, and maybe that spot's a little bit more
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: up for grabs, that 9th or 10th gobb. guy than
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: we had anticipated.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I think you're right Billy and again I think the
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: game Friday night may tell the tale of the tape
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: for some of these guys as well going for positions
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: And Jagger Burton getting more reps at center maybe coming
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: up on Friday night could be a case as he's
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: been battling for that guard job and now being locked
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: in as the swing guy for all three of those
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: interior spots would be interesting to see.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Interesting twist here we just saw They had the running back,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Pierre Strong Jr., off on the wing on the right side.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: They motioned him back to the offensive backfield and then
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: handed him the ball in one complete motion. And nice
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: little move. Then he takes it up the middle. So
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: different looks trying to do the same thing with a
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: different look. There's Isaiah Nayer. He's another one who's seemingly
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: always open. Runs great routes.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: What kind of night does he need, Wayne, to maybe
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: make it a difficult decision or find somebody else's 53-man roster?
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I think the real focus, unless something changes, the real
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: focus is going to be on those guys. Will Shepard, J.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Michael Sturdivant, and Isaiah Nair. They need to make decisions.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Is one of them worth keeping as a seventh running back,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: which is You keep six normally, right?
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you keep six guys on the wideout.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Seven is a load at that position, but you keep seven,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: and then who can you get to the practice squad?
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Because I think you'd want whoever the two who don't
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: make it, then you'd want on the practice squad somehow.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: And that's a spot I know Brian mentioned in our
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: first segment when we heard from Goody, especially running back,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and Pierre Strong Jr. was one of the names that
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of people would bring in there of somebody
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: who a game day elevation almost always happens at the
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: running back spot, maybe that. is how they end up
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: with four, but only three on the roster. We shall
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: see with all those mathematics. But as the specialists take
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the field, we take quick timeout. We'll be back with
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: more team and more of joint practice. Cardinals and Packers,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: live action here on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. We're glad
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: you're streaming live with us on YouTube, X, and Facebook.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: He's the voice of the Packers, Wayne Laramie.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: I'm Billy Schmid.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: We're back with more on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin right
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: after this.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Hanging out with you.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: From Ray Nitschke Field, bringing you coverage of Packers training
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: camp 2026. One final day, and it is the high
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: fashion day, the day to be here at Ray Nitschke
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Field as Packers and Cardinals joint practice. It wraps up
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the 2026 camp here on training camp live presented by
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: the Pottawatomie Sportsbook. And Wayne, as the specialists wrap up
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: here in front, we'll get back into some team stuff.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: The initial brush strokes from those First team and second
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: team offense, Packers offense against the Cardinals defense. One of
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: the main takeaways folks are saying online, Jordan Love on
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: a heater early.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Looked good.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Eight of ten, according to Rob Domofsky of ESPN.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Man. You know, of course, we're watching both sides, so
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: we're not keeping score here, folks. But thank God. The
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: media core is.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Luckily, we have them to be able to track, and
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: they don't have to worry about somebody signaling or not
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: signaling good or not good on the field goal. But
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: it is tough because you're seeing both sides. You're trying
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: to pay attention to all of what's happening. But nice
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: to confirm because it did feel like the Packers' offense.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: You joked about it that they had to be taking
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: a deep breath not having to face the Jonathan Gannon offense.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: multiple defenses and rushes. Felt like they were able to
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: get into a little bit.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Exactly. I thought they were able to run their base
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: stuff and run it effectively. So it looked to me,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: just my eye, that the offense moved the ball well
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: against the Cardinals' defense. And I thought on the other side,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: I thought Jonathan Gannon's defense was very sharp against the Cardinals' offense.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: There was a lot of frustration.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: A lot of frustrated Cardinals looks it looked like in
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the back end. It looked like some disappointment in how
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: they were able to not move the ball, especially in
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: those first place. We do also have the verification of
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: what the LaFleur family is. Denny LaFleur wearing Cardinals red
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: but a Packers visor. When asked who won when Matt
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: and Mike would fight as kids, Denny said the right
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: thing as any dad would say, I won.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: I did. I settled the score and I finished the job.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: A good one to have and a good pop for
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the crowd as Micah Parsons walks over with the number
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: one jersey on the tablet, checks it out, and gets
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest applauses of the day. Very excited
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: to see him rejoin the Packers here coming up very shortly.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: They are obviously a different football team with him on
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the field, but the juice that he'll bring this defense
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: with how varying they've been and how explosive they've been
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: early in camp, It feels like a great extra wrinkle.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, and he's kind of the overall feel. Nobody, this
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: is not anything official, but the feeling is that he'll
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: be back for the Dallas game coming up. That would
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: be great if he was. That would almost be must-see TV.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: It would be even better if he was back for
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: the Bears game the week before. That's the one.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Now, that would be the one to have, and luckily, Wayne,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the jerseys for that Bears game, I think of you
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: whenever new uniforms in.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: The NFL come out.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: I got to look at it.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: At least it looks like we'll be able to see the.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Numbers of these Packers alternate kits.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: The Packers rivalry uniforms certainly look better than the Bears
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: rivalry uniforms. They didn't look so good.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I was going to say the Bears ones look like
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: a blend of Syracuse and the fighting Illini.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: And the Packers had a little tick of a Notre
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Dame look, but a fun one. to be able to
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: see what those kits look like, especially if Caleb Williams
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: is picking himself up off the grass and the Packers
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: have a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter. We'll like
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: that one a heck of a lot better. We love
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: you hanging out with us here on Training Camp Live.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: We're going to take a quick timeout, come back, and
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: we will have more team periods rolling through. Matt and
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Mike LaFleur just had a conversation inside the 10-yard line.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: So hash some things out. Mike LaFleur talking to Jonathan
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Gannon right now, getting excited. Their plan's set for the
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: next team period, which will start up momentarily. It'll start
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: when you return with us to Ray Nitschke Field. He's
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: the voice of the Green Bay Packers, Wayne Larrabee.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: I'm Billy Schmidt.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: It's Training Camp Live, presented by the Pottawatomie Sportsbook. We're
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: live from Training Camp 2026 as Marshawn Lloyd catches a
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: swing pass off to the right side, runs down the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: right sideline for a good gain as the Packers' first-team
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: offense takes on the Cardinals' first-team defense.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: And joint practice back underway. Wayne Larrabee to my right.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: I'm Bill Schmidt.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: You'll hear Wayne calling Packers and Cardinals coming up on
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: the Packers Radio Network. Network coverage starts at 5. I
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: said it's high fashion day. This is when the stars
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: really come out. You'll hear Doug Russell's pregame show starting
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: up at 3 on the big 97.5 Big FM, 95.7
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Big FM. Also, you'll hear him coming up on Fox
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio Wisconsin, which is 9.20 a.m. in Milwaukee with
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Packers Game Day. And that starts up our game day
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: coverage today. Milwaukee's a.m. home for Packers football, Fox Sports 9.20.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Marshawn Lloyd getting a little bit of an extended run here. Wayne,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: you saw some Josh Jacobs carries. Probably the most team
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: we've seen Josh Jacobs have during camp has happened here today,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: and we've seen some Zach Bacoboelli, but some good runs
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: for Josh Jacobs. Wasn't worried about him I know there's
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that are worried about other things
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: involving Josh Jacobs, but his availability and readiness for the
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: 2026 season, I think that happens in about six years
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, but good to see him with that
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: burst seemingly here today.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: We did not need to see him play a lot
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: of preseason football. You know what I mean? We know
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: what he can do, and he's ready to go. He
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: appears physically to be ready to go for the regular season.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: And the Packers getting good ISO looks as Jordan Morgan
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: absolutely throbs Finishes a pass rusher off to the left side.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Stands up and doesn't help him up. Now that's the
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: best way of finishing a block. And now we're going
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: to have the little meeting of the minds. And the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: edge rusher is going to say, I was being held.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: He's going to say, no, I just planted you. That's
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: a great feeling for number 77. And a great one
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: to see. Anthony Belton looking good over at right tackle
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: as well. Seemingly making his name on the team as
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the swing tackle, Donovan Jennings.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Getting some looks as well.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Tucker Kraft and Trey McBride, maybe the two stars of
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: both teams at the tight end spot, kind of relatively
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: quiet so far.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so far. They have been, yeah. McBride working across
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: the way to our left, and Tucker Kraft and the
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Packers offense to our right.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Chris Brooks in the backfield with Jordan Love this time
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: as they go trips to the top. Moore, Reed, and Kraft.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Love looking off to the right side. Got his man,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Bo Melton, working there off to the far sideline and
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: for Bo Melton making the team as a wide receiver
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: we talked so much about him special teams wise Wayne
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: but we had a lot of calls on Packers OT
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: a year ago asking why he was the intended target
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: on a third and 11 play he's going to be
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: factoring in on offense I would assume he's had a
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: lot of plays here with the first team offense.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Today yeah no no question and you know they again
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: it's training camp it's preseason football you're going to work
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: things that maybe you wouldn't do during the regular season
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: to find out if you can do them. Find out
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: who can do what.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: And the Packers finding out a lot about Sky Moore,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the very exciting, very intriguing little bit of a gadget
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: player for the Packers coming up here in this season.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Not just a kick return guy.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: They're really finding out that maybe he can offer more
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: to the offense than they thought because if all he
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: does is return kicks and punts and does it as
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: well as he did a year ago, they'll be happy.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: But he could do a little bit more, it appears.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: 25-year-old, former second-round pick.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Out of Western Michigan, wouldn't be surprising if it's taken
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: him some time to be able to be the best
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: version of an NFL player, as you would assume.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: How would you like this? The first touchdown pass you
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: ever caught in your NFL career was in the Super Bowl.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: I'd take that. I think I would take that.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: There are guys who never get to a Super Bowl,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: much less catch a touchdown pass.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: And to have it be as famously as the Chiefs
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: have wanted to let you know, he may have run
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: the wrong route, but he scored the touchdown. And to
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: be able to have that moment, he's performed on some
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: big stages and been around some really, really good teams, right?
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Obviously Kansas City.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Why is it they never say Travis Kelsey ran the
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: wrong route? Because he runs the wrong route most of
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: the time. He just makes the route up, I think.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: That's where they say, well, that's the Travis route.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: He can go wherever he damn well pleases as the
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Packers send it off to Jaden Reed left side. He's
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: not able to go wherever he wants because the Cardinals
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: defense locks him up Off to the left side, a
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: lot of end arounds, a lot of working laterally with
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: the Packers' first-team offense.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Bunch of orbit motion.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, lots of orbit motion.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: We know that they wanted to run and ran a
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: ton of it with Jaden Reed, and it did seem
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: like once he went down way in a year ago,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: that kind of went away from the playbook for a
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: long time.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: There were a lot of things that happened when Reed
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: went down and then when Tucker Kraft went down. You know,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Matt LaFleur, to his credit, he had to kind of
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: remake that offense, and he had to reincorporate Christian Watson
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: back in about that time when those guys left. So
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: it's an interesting– that offense was evolving last year, and
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: I don't ever think it got to its destination. But nonetheless,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: there were a lot of circumstances that went into it,
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: and it was tough. And Matt LaFleur did a heck
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: of a job getting what he could out of that
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: offensive unit that seemed to be in a state of flux.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Had a couple of people asking us what's Anthony Campbell
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: looking like over on the far side. Haven't gotten a
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: great look at what the Packers defense is doing against
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals offense, but he's been in the rotation more
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: than anything, Wayne. I'm excited to know that Javon Hargrave
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: seems to be getting a full complement of reps up
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: there against Devontae Wyatt because those two being a factor
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: inside is going to be a big telltale sign of
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: just how good the Packers' defense can be.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: We were talking about it the other day, Javon Hargrave
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: on the field. Boy, what a difference he makes out there.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: You know, he still has suddenness, and he's a big
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: body who's sudden, and I think that's really what we're
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: going to enjoy seeing. And again, he's not going to
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: have to play a large number of snaps per game
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: because they have some depth on the defensive line. And
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: I think it's Jonathan Gannon's intention to rotate guys constantly there.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: As you know, that's something that a lot of the
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: good defenses do.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you can, you need to rotate in about
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: six or seven guys at that position because it is
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: going to be one where you have attrition and the
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: best reps are are generally the most rested reps, and
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: you only get that going in and off the field. Packers'
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: second unit on the offensive line on the field right now,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: John Williams at left tackle, Dylan Wade over at left guard,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: standing right next to Jagger Burton, who's playing center for
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: the Packers here today. A little bit intermittently, he's gone
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: in and out with the first team, in and out
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: with the second team. Burton is a fascinating study as
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: they get him prepared to play and be a little
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: bit more of a Swiss Army knife. coming up in 2026.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: He'll play all three inside line positions, left guard, center,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: right guard.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor has looked comfortable here today and building off
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: of a preseason that's somewhat calm, but for a 36-year-old vet,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: not much that you had to see. You like seeing
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Pierre Strong bouncing around the line that way.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. He's a tough runner, and he's got good vision.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Emmanuel Wilson did a heck of a job here, folks.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I know we were talking about it the other day
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: if you were listening to us. But I think Pierre
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Strong could fill that role, if that's what they need.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: They're both, Wayne, former small school running backs, which I
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: don't know that that correlates a ton, but they both
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: are physical runners, have both now had a lot more
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: acclimation to what the real NFL game is like. It
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: is a definite step up from FCS, where both of
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: those guys played their college ball. Fort Wayne State, a
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: D2 for Emmanuel Wilson, but Pierre Strong's been in the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: league for a while and knows how NFL holes are
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: going to open up. Maybe that's a little bit of
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: a learning curve that we've talked about Marshawn Lloyd as
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: he gets back in there, still fully figuring out.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think so. He's shaking off the rust
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: for the most part, and I think he's going to
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: be fine. Marshawn Lloyd's going to be fine. He has
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: very good eyes and instincts.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Looking for Drake Dabney and hauls it in off the
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: right side and then hits the deck.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Dabney.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: Is going to be a fascinating guy who you believe
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: is going to be on the team, and he stands up.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Didn't necessarily like that hit very much that was laid
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: upon him. Looks like a gentle meeting of the minds.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Nobody real pushing and shoving.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Now they're coming in from the bullpen, Billy.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right. That's when you know the fight's over.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: When the guys from the bullpen trot in, I've always said, Wayne,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: they should just have their own scuffle in center field.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: They should just have their own fight in center field
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: because then it would build upon what happened on the infield.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: And then you wouldn't have to get in.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Or, you know.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: Stop it once they want to put the tarp back on.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: I think I can't picture Drake Dabney not being on
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: the 53-man roster if they go with three tight ends.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? They have to go with
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: at least three, maybe four, but it'll be interesting to
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: see how it all breaks down.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: And his first opportunity may be because of injury, but
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: he has definitely performed well in the opportunities.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: He's got a ton of opportunities here with how many
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: injuries they've had in the tight end room.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: All right, now we're going to get one more look
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: here as the Packers' first team offense Rolls down to
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the far side of the field. Far left side of
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: the field. Packers ones on defense going up against the
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Cardinals ones. Lucas Van Ness has been a factor every
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: time I've looked over. They've been collapsing the pocket on
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: this Cardinals quarterbacking unit. Quarterbacked right now by Jacoby Brissett.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Sends a man in motion. Hands it off to Bam Knight.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: He's bammed right there by number 90, Lucas Van Ness.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Good physical push by Carl Brooks in the interior as.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: Well on that play.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Lucas Van Ness is, you know, we're all focused on
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: can he get 10 sacks or 12 sacks or whatever,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: but he's also very good against the run.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Stout, no doubt.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Very stout, sets the edge well, and, you know, he's
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: a good player.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: And it does not, you're right, Wayne, it doesn't get
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: the accolades that it probably deserves being good and solid
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: against the run because it's almost just an assumed deal.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Rashawn Gary's another one. His sack numbers always left something
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: to be desired. He's a very physical defender against the run,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: and that one again across the middle for Tucker Kraft.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Nearly a sensational diving catch in the end zone by
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Kraft as they work red zone from, I believe, the
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: 15-yard line off to the right side. And now that
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: one just would have been a thread of the needle
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: in between two Cardinal defenders.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: The first target we've noticed from Tucker Kraft.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot more practice going on, and we
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: are sad to say that we are going to be
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: bidding you adieu here on Training Camp Live.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: 2026. Before we get out of here, though, I have
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: to thank Wayne Larrabee. J.P. Shadrick said it earlier on
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: when he joined us in the first hour.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: But, Wayne, a Hall of Famer like yourself and an
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: absolute legend like yourself doesn't need to spend his training
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: camp getting ready with me and our listeners over here
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: on the perch.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: But we sure as hell appreciate it.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I've enjoyed it, Billy. It's been great. A lot
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: of fun this summer. We've had great weather for it. And,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: you know. We'll look forward to the regular season.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, and we look forward to
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: the regular season, one more speed bump coming up on
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Friday night before we get in there. A couple of
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: guys that you're most intrigued with that we haven't necessarily
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: been able to touch on coming up on Friday night
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: when you guys call the game at 7 o'clock?
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, I think it'll be great to see some of
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: these young guys on defense. You know, deny Dennis Sutton
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: if he's ready to go, if they can get him
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: in there a little bit. Anthony Campbell, he'll get a
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: long run. those are some of the guys you're really
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: looking to see on defense. And on offense, you know,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: it's another story. I mean, you know, who are these receivers?
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Are they going to, you know, how many receivers are
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: they going to keep? And can that envelope be forced
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: a little bit? And what about running back? Are they
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: going to keep three or four running backs? They kept
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: three last year. But Pierre Strong Jr., how do you
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: cut him? How do you cut him?
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: We'll have to answer it all, and we'll be talking
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: about it all on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Thanks to
• 40:48
