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