- 1:23Speaker 1: bigger for the play by play broadcasters of a ninety
- 1:25Speaker 1: man roster and preseason game number one. We saw a
- 1:29Speaker 1: lot of good things. We'll see a lot here today,
- 1:31Speaker 1: but getting to see the Packers starters. We mentioned it
- 1:34Speaker 1: a lot last week while we were here for a
- 1:36Speaker 1: couple of shows before the team went out to Pittsburgh.
- 1:38Speaker 1: The go and take on the Broncos coming up on Friday. Today,
- 1:41Speaker 1: a very long practice should be a real grinder. The
- 1:45Speaker 1: term dog days was built for right now in the
- 1:48Speaker 1: midst of August in camp.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Really it was.
- 1:50Speaker 2: And again they'll as you mentioned, they're in pads today.
- 1:54Speaker 2: They'll probably go a good couple of hours and then
- 1:56Speaker 2: they'll start tapering down. Lighter practice tomorrow and not open
- 1:59Speaker 2: to the public, and then we get on the plane
- 2:02Speaker 2: and go to Denver on Thursday. Game is Friday night,
- 2:05Speaker 2: and then you get in that final week of practice
- 2:07Speaker 2: and that's the joint practice they're looking forward to against
- 2:10Speaker 2: Arizona when the Cardinals come to town.
- 2:12Speaker 1: And should be a ton of fun when that transpires
- 2:14Speaker 1: a week from tomorrow. And when you're looking at in camp,
- 2:19Speaker 1: getting people healthy, getting as many looks as possible, Packers
- 2:22Speaker 1: are getting a little bit healthier here today. Josh Jacobs
- 2:25Speaker 1: on the field, might be going through some of the
- 2:27Speaker 1: team drills. They lost Lucas van Us for a couple
- 2:30Speaker 1: of practices with a little bit of a shoulder.
- 2:33Speaker 4: Ding should be ready and able to go.
- 2:36Speaker 1: And we're getting some one on one pass rush drill
- 2:38Speaker 1: off to the far side. But generally speaking, Carrington Valentine
- 2:42Speaker 1: back at practice, they're slowly seemingly getting a little bit
- 2:46Speaker 1: healthier as we get into camp.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's good to see, Billy.
- 2:49Speaker 2: You know, injuries can linger at camp and sometimes they
- 2:52Speaker 2: can come pound, but the Packers appear to be getting
- 2:56Speaker 2: healthier and that certainly is going to help and getting
- 2:58Speaker 2: this team ready for the opener.
- 3:00Speaker 1: And we saw just the offense for a very limited
- 3:03Speaker 1: amount on Thursday night, But to see Jordan Love throwing
- 3:07Speaker 1: the ball across the middle to Jayden Reid, Yeah, one
- 3:09Speaker 1: of the best signs to see for an offense that
- 3:12Speaker 1: God needs some explosiveness, and you almost forget Jayden Reid
- 3:15Speaker 1: in the middle of it. With how much we've talked
- 3:17Speaker 1: about Matthew Golden, a huge contract for Christian Watson well
- 3:21Speaker 1: compensated in his own right now, is Jayden Reid?
- 3:23Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 3:23Speaker 2: Absolutely and rightfully so. He had an injury plague year
- 3:27Speaker 2: last year. But as as that game ensued, the thing
- 3:30Speaker 2: I like most about the Pittsburgh game was the offense
- 3:33Speaker 2: got a ten play drive under its belt and got
- 3:35Speaker 2: a couple of points on a few points on.
- 3:36Speaker 1: The board, and we got to see Tray smack a
- 3:39Speaker 1: little bit. We'll definitely talk some smack later on here
- 3:42Speaker 1: today as we assume there will be some kicking rolling through,
- 3:46Speaker 1: but he has been the talk of it.
- 3:47Speaker 3: Wayne.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I hate being forced to talk solely about kickers. But
- 3:52Speaker 1: he quieted some of the talk with how well he
- 3:54Speaker 1: performed on Thursday night.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:55Speaker 2: I think the two areas, the two exposures that he had,
- 4:00Speaker 2: you know, the family night practice. I mean, people say, well,
- 4:02Speaker 2: it's just practice, yeah, but it was in lambeau Field.
- 4:04Speaker 2: It was under the lights, and the brightest spotlight was
- 4:07Speaker 2: on him. Everybody's wondering, is this kid, you know, for real?
- 4:10Speaker 2: Can he kick, and so under that circumstance, he kicked
- 4:13Speaker 2: pretty well that night, missed a long fifty some yarder,
- 4:16Speaker 2: but beyond that kick pretty well. And then I thought
- 4:18Speaker 2: what he did in Pittsburgh. You know, Pittsburgh's not the
- 4:21Speaker 2: easiest place to kick matter thatack might be the toughest
- 4:24Speaker 2: place on the shores of the Monongahela and the Alleghany,
- 4:28Speaker 2: so with the wind currents there, and he went out
- 4:31Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh, and you know, I thought his warm up
- 4:33Speaker 2: was really good. I watched it closely, and then in
- 4:35Speaker 2: the game he delivered on every kick he had, and
- 4:37Speaker 2: so I think that shirt certainly helps his confidence.
- 4:41Speaker 3: You know, he has the talent. We know that he
- 4:43Speaker 3: wouldn't be here.
- 4:44Speaker 2: They don't trade two seventh round draft choices to move
- 4:46Speaker 2: up into the sixth round to get a guy who
- 4:49Speaker 2: can't doesn't have the light strength. Okay, so he's got
- 4:51Speaker 2: the physical aspect of it, but like a golfer, what
- 4:54Speaker 2: is paramount for a kicker is the mental toughness. And
- 4:59Speaker 2: they feel this it has that, and you know, but
- 5:01Speaker 2: at any rate, he's got to be in a good
- 5:03Speaker 2: place right now, based on the way he's been kicking
- 5:05Speaker 2: of late.
- 5:06Speaker 4: Totally and hearing.
- 5:07Speaker 1: You know, Brian Goodacun spoke earlier on today, he spoke
- 5:10Speaker 1: last week after that showing at Family Night the way
- 5:13Speaker 1: Trey performed, and it does appear that he's got a
- 5:15Speaker 1: little bit more of that mental makeup. That's exactly what
- 5:17Speaker 1: you need to be able to see out of the
- 5:19Speaker 1: kicking spot. We'll probably see him kick a little bit
- 5:21Speaker 1: later on here. Today we're seeing one on one pass
- 5:24Speaker 1: rush to the far side. Jordan Morgan just went up
- 5:26Speaker 1: against Baron Surrell and won cleanly around the edge. We're
- 5:30Speaker 1: seeing a lot of work for Anthony Belton over at
- 5:32Speaker 1: right tackle, who has apparently just taken that spot as
- 5:36Speaker 1: the swing tackle, and jay Von Hargrave taking a pass
- 5:40Speaker 1: rush one on one rep for maybe the first time
- 5:42Speaker 1: in camp. Beautiful to see the free agent signing with
- 5:45Speaker 1: a little welcome to the NFL moment for one Jagger Burt.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Jager Burton got beat right away by Javon Hartgrave.
- 5:51Speaker 3: Billy. When I saw ninety eight out there, I said,
- 5:53Speaker 3: wait a minute.
- 5:54Speaker 4: Who's that.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Check the roster quickly because he's been out for so long.
- 5:57Speaker 2: But it's good to see ninety eight out there. He's
- 5:59Speaker 2: going to be a contributor. There's no doubt Burton fared
- 6:02Speaker 2: a little bit better on that rep there, holding off
- 6:05Speaker 2: Javon Hargrave, but the vet was still back.
- 6:08Speaker 1: There forcing a p He's a little I don't mean
- 6:10Speaker 1: this in any derogatory fan, a little smaller than I
- 6:14Speaker 1: had anticipated. Tight, shorter cat, but really really quick off
- 6:18Speaker 1: the football. Him and DeVante Wyatt. Excited to see that
- 6:21Speaker 1: pairing because bultimately instantly off the football.
- 6:24Speaker 2: And Chris McClellan seems to be a guy who shows
- 6:27Speaker 2: a lot as well out there. And you know, we
- 6:30Speaker 2: just saw Jayden Crummity make it around the end. He's
- 6:34Speaker 2: one of their rookie free agent defensive ends that they're
- 6:38Speaker 2: trying out here in this camp. But this pass rush drill,
- 6:41Speaker 2: and again it's one on one, and I believe that
- 6:46Speaker 2: was Cannard who is battling Krummedy there at tackle. This
- 6:51Speaker 2: iskewed to favor the defensive player because he doesn't have
- 6:55Speaker 2: to think about run. I mean, this is a pass
- 6:57Speaker 2: rush drill, So the offensive players at a bit of
- 6:59Speaker 2: a disadvantage, and that's where you get a good test.
- 7:02Speaker 1: And you get such a good test of your ability
- 7:05Speaker 1: to anchor down against a bull rush against the speed
- 7:07Speaker 1: to power move, work some counter moves if you're a
- 7:10Speaker 1: defensive end. And right there a good runoff to the
- 7:13Speaker 1: right side by Cooper to just force Moseby up the field.
- 7:17Speaker 1: And as the offensive tackle, Wayne, when you can get
- 7:19Speaker 1: your hand into that hip pocket and just run somebody
- 7:21Speaker 1: around to merry go around. There are good feelings in
- 7:23Speaker 1: the world that one about as good as any or
- 7:27Speaker 1: what we just saw right there, being able to force
- 7:29Speaker 1: somebody onto the ground against their own willpower Cooper going
- 7:33Speaker 1: up against Moseby, a good battle back and forth.
- 7:36Speaker 4: And now we get into the twos and threes.
- 7:37Speaker 1: A couple of the questions will be about main players
- 7:41Speaker 1: consistently when you start talking to people after one preseason
- 7:45Speaker 1: game three plays for the starters on defense, but.
- 7:48Speaker 4: Lucas van Nes showed out.
- 7:50Speaker 1: I thought Zayer Franklin confirmed what we've been telling people
- 7:53Speaker 1: a lot about so far. Wayne at training camp he
- 7:56Speaker 1: was a factor early. But I thought van Ness really
- 8:00Speaker 1: he popped with the explosiveness and the speed that he
- 8:03Speaker 1: was able to get to the quarterback off of a
- 8:05Speaker 1: counter on that second rush. He was sublime in those
- 8:08Speaker 1: three snaps that he got.
- 8:09Speaker 3: Oh, I tell you what that sack he made. That
- 8:12Speaker 3: was relentlessness.
- 8:13Speaker 2: He just kept coming and you're right, initially he seemed
- 8:16Speaker 2: like he was blocked and then he made a quick
- 8:18Speaker 2: move he got around the defender of the blocker and
- 8:21Speaker 2: got to the quarterback. Lucas has had a terrific camp, folks,
- 8:25Speaker 2: by any measure, and that was good to see he
- 8:29Speaker 2: show something in that game. He was in for three plays,
- 8:33Speaker 2: had a run stop in a sack. Boy, that's pretty
- 8:35Speaker 2: good production.
- 8:36Speaker 4: That's a good day.
- 8:37Speaker 1: And then you can with a baseball happ cap on
- 8:39Speaker 1: and feel better about it. He's working his way back
- 8:41Speaker 1: in with a little bit of a shoulder thing. You
- 8:44Speaker 1: realize that this is the drill of campaign. When you
- 8:47Speaker 1: get the running backs, both Marshawn Lloyd and Josh Jacobs
- 8:50Speaker 1: front and center, they don't want to miss a minute
- 8:51Speaker 1: of this because it becomes the most entertaining time of
- 8:55Speaker 1: the practice and be able to see the big boys
- 8:58Speaker 1: get get a little bit of scrap and a little
- 9:00Speaker 1: but a scuffle. Matt Lafleur addressed the couple of little
- 9:02Speaker 1: scuffles that they may have seen on Sunday. We're getting
- 9:06Speaker 1: to the point whene where we're all getting sick and
- 9:08Speaker 1: tired of each other, right, Like, this is the point
- 9:10Speaker 1: where you're really starting to get frustrated with each other.
- 9:14Speaker 4: Back in the day, this would be fight season.
- 9:16Speaker 1: However, coach mentioned it today that if you can't do
- 9:21Speaker 1: it in the midst of the season and in a
- 9:22Speaker 1: real game, it doesn't make much sense to scrap that
- 9:25Speaker 1: way in practice. They've had a very very fight free
- 9:28Speaker 1: camp at Spellway.
- 9:29Speaker 3: Yeah they have.
- 9:30Speaker 2: So you know, I don't know about you, but I
- 9:33Speaker 2: didn't mind hearing about scuffles.
- 9:35Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm never gonna be against it.
- 9:37Speaker 3: It's go best.
- 9:38Speaker 2: It goes back to what we've talked about, Billy, especially
- 9:41Speaker 2: last week.
- 9:42Speaker 3: When does the team come together? Is the team coming together?
- 9:45Speaker 2: Now?
- 9:45Speaker 3: They're trying to make the team. Everybody's trying to make
- 9:48Speaker 3: the team. And I know there's some.
- 9:49Speaker 2: Veterans who aren't being challenged because they're starters and et cetera.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Gain I get that, but most of this roster folks
- 9:56Speaker 2: up here, they're trying to make this football team. So
- 9:59Speaker 2: when does the team come together? I think it comes
- 10:01Speaker 2: together once they established the fifty three man roster. Then
- 10:04Speaker 2: you start saying, Okay, this is the guy I'm gonna
- 10:06Speaker 2: be dressing next too for the entire season.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Yeah, you start getting a little bit more confidence in
- 10:10Speaker 1: the group because you know that the group is gonna
- 10:12Speaker 1: be together and some good DAPs off to our right
- 10:14Speaker 1: for Javon Hargrave as he welcomes his presidence in Hey,
- 10:18Speaker 1: we've seen.
- 10:18Speaker 4: Him across the NFL.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Right, Hargrave was with Jonathan Gannon in Philadelphia for a
- 10:24Speaker 1: defensive line that was you go back and look at
- 10:28Speaker 1: the names. It might not have jumped off the page
- 10:30Speaker 1: at the moment, Josh what was an eighteen SAT guy.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Javon Hargrave is a multiple time Pro bowler, Fletcher Cox's
- 10:35Speaker 1: potential future Hall of Famer, Like they had real guys there.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Hargrave might be a little longer in the tooth, but
- 10:42Speaker 1: if he's able to do just that, that was a
- 10:44Speaker 1: factor for this defense a year ago when Parsons was
- 10:48Speaker 1: on the field and then when he was off, their
- 10:51Speaker 1: inability waying to consistently pressure up the middle. It seems
- 10:55Speaker 1: like Hargrave and McClellan are both guys that can help
- 10:58Speaker 1: Wyatt in that exact caddag.
- 10:59Speaker 2: And why it went down that became a real problem.
- 11:02Speaker 2: He went down Thanksgiving Day and that was the first
- 11:06Speaker 2: real chink in the armor, I thought, defensively, and that's
- 11:09Speaker 2: where you started to see some slippage, and a lot
- 11:11Speaker 2: of it had to do with that pressure they were
- 11:13Speaker 2: getting from the interior earlier in the year with Devonte Whatt.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Now you put hard Grave in there and McClellan and
- 11:20Speaker 2: I think you've got it covered. I mean, there's you know,
- 11:23Speaker 2: those guys can push the pocket from within.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Slowly working his way back into full team drills, but
- 11:28Speaker 1: he was in eleven on eleven contact yesterday.
- 11:31Speaker 4: Tucker Kraft.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Now we've seen him working his way back off the
- 11:33Speaker 1: ACL all of camp. Great to see him in team
- 11:37Speaker 1: drills and be able to work together with the.
- 11:39Speaker 4: Number one offense.
- 11:40Speaker 1: He's off by the quarterbacks at the moment, poised for
- 11:43Speaker 1: such a massive year.
- 11:45Speaker 4: But Wayne, when you hear players.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Discuss how much the game means to them the way
- 11:50Speaker 1: Tucker did at his locker on Sunday, rightfully so and understandably.
- 11:55Speaker 1: So that's probably going to be somebody that has to
- 11:57Speaker 1: see on his jersey for a long standing time here
- 12:00Speaker 1: in Green Bay. And that was an impressive thing to
- 12:02Speaker 1: hear from somebody who's got a lot on the line.
- 12:04Speaker 1: But The only thing he wanted to lay out on
- 12:06Speaker 1: the line was playing a little bit of regular full
- 12:09Speaker 1: eleven on eleven full contact a month away from from
- 12:13Speaker 1: an actual game here, Kay.
- 12:14Speaker 2: I can't agree with you more, Billy, And he will
- 12:16Speaker 2: have that see on his chest probably for as long
- 12:19Speaker 2: as he wants to wear it on this team, because
- 12:22Speaker 2: he is one of the leaders, there's no doubt about that.
- 12:25Speaker 2: And it's good to see him back and good to
- 12:26Speaker 2: see him get involved here because you know he wants
- 12:30Speaker 2: to hit the He wants to hit the track running
- 12:33Speaker 2: when the season begins in Minneapolis, and I think he'll
- 12:36Speaker 2: be ready to do that. He doesn't want any limitations,
- 12:39Speaker 2: he doesn't want any questions. He wants those questions answered.
- 12:42Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised.
- 12:43Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe they'll hold him out of preseason.
- 12:46Speaker 2: But if I, you know, if he's ready to go,
- 12:47Speaker 2: if he's capable of going, I'd get him a few
- 12:50Speaker 2: licks in a preseason game and then get him out
- 12:52Speaker 2: of there. But just so that the first hits he's
- 12:54Speaker 2: taken aren't in Minneapolis, but they're earlier than that, and
- 12:58Speaker 2: he's gotten past that hurdle and be able to.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Be into the controlled practices here next week will be great,
- 13:06Speaker 1: a bit great work for all of the first teamers
- 13:08Speaker 1: and brings up a real conversation of will the Packers
- 13:11Speaker 1: starters end up going coming up on Friday night. We
- 13:14Speaker 1: shall see as they go into the altitude and take
- 13:17Speaker 1: on the Denver Broncos.
- 13:18Speaker 4: Wayne.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Most importantly, I'm just glad you guys aren't in Denver
- 13:21Speaker 1: for what seemed like a week now.
- 13:22Speaker 4: I like the joint.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Practice on the road. I think there's something to taking
- 13:26Speaker 1: your operation on the road. And I'm a guy that
- 13:29Speaker 1: firmly believes teams bond a lot more around.
- 13:32Speaker 4: A keg than they do kale.
- 13:33Speaker 1: When you go out on the road, you're forced to
- 13:35Speaker 1: be around the team, forced to be around your your teammates,
- 13:38Speaker 1: and that can be where some of it can come together.
- 13:41Speaker 1: But that was a long time and felt like it
- 13:43Speaker 1: really interrupted some of the flow of what the Packers
- 13:46Speaker 1: were doing here.
- 13:47Speaker 2: And that's why Matt Lafleur decided not to do a
- 13:50Speaker 2: joint practice on the road. And here's the problem, folks.
- 13:53Speaker 2: What happened last We went out two days before, three
- 13:58Speaker 2: days before, we went out like an Wednesday, practiced against
- 14:01Speaker 2: the Broncos on a Thursday day off on Friday sort
- 14:06Speaker 2: of and you know, some walkthroughs and that type of thing,
- 14:08Speaker 2: and then the game on Saturday, and the game was
- 14:10Speaker 2: Saturday night, and you know, Matt just felt that was
- 14:13Speaker 2: just too much time on the road, that was just
- 14:15Speaker 2: too long a thing. So instead of doing that, he
- 14:18Speaker 2: decided not to do that this year and to spend
- 14:21Speaker 2: the time here at training camp.
- 14:23Speaker 1: And you're starting to see across the NFL, as special
- 14:26Speaker 1: teams work and individual practice rolls through, some different vets
- 14:29Speaker 1: end up getting signed. Yesterday, we saw Keenan Allen get
- 14:32Speaker 1: signed by the Indianapolis Colts. Earlier on today, former Packers
- 14:38Speaker 1: Zadaria Smith one year deal with the Atlanta Falcons. Just
- 14:41Speaker 1: now somebody that I know a lot of people have
- 14:43Speaker 1: had their eyes on in the running back room. Josh
- 14:46Speaker 1: Jacobs back at practice today as he returns from his
- 14:49Speaker 1: groin injury. A good sign Matt Lafloor talking about and
- 14:52Speaker 1: people mentioning it across. But Naji Harris goes to the
- 14:55Speaker 1: New York Giants on a one year deal. There's still
- 14:59Speaker 1: a couple of vets that are floating out there in
- 15:01Speaker 1: the sphere. Wayne and I know on the offensive line,
- 15:04Speaker 1: people in Wisconsin love the name Kevin Zeidler rightfully so
- 15:07Speaker 1: for the incredibly incredible career he had at Wisconsin and
- 15:10Speaker 1: has in the NFL. But there does seem to be
- 15:13Speaker 1: a couple of spots on the football team that if
- 15:16Speaker 1: they can't get healthier. I'm thinking, as our conversation with
- 15:20Speaker 1: Tucker Craft evolved, still no real word on when you
- 15:25Speaker 1: might be able to see Luke Musgrave. I think Josh
- 15:27Speaker 1: Wiley has looked good so far in camp.
- 15:29Speaker 4: There's a couple of names like a JOHNA Smith out there.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Are we in that time frame where you think the
- 15:34Speaker 1: Packers start looking at those or are we still a
- 15:37Speaker 1: couple of weeks away They still want to get a
- 15:38Speaker 1: better look at some of their young players that we've
- 15:40Speaker 1: had in ken.
- 15:41Speaker 3: There is no question there.
- 15:42Speaker 2: On top of that, the personnel department pro personnel department
- 15:45Speaker 2: for the Packers very much aware of all that, and
- 15:49Speaker 2: Billy and you know they do what exactly what you said. Okay,
- 15:54Speaker 2: got a couple of question marks, let's sake question marks
- 15:56Speaker 2: at guard. Okay, is there a guard out there or
- 15:59Speaker 2: we need a second tight end? You know, we got
- 16:02Speaker 2: our inline guy, but maybe another guy who can get
- 16:04Speaker 2: into the passing lanes a little bit more. Maybe that's
- 16:07Speaker 2: John OUs Smith, you know, a veteran out there like that.
- 16:10Speaker 2: You got to be careful with who you bring in
- 16:12Speaker 2: and what they how they impact the locker room and
- 16:15Speaker 2: the roster, and what they do with the people in
- 16:17Speaker 2: that tight end room or offensive line room or whatever
- 16:22Speaker 2: physician you address with one of these late camp veteran acquisitions.
- 16:27Speaker 1: And ye also, I mean, let's be honest about you
- 16:29Speaker 1: got to make sure you have the glue right, Like
- 16:31Speaker 1: some of those guys probably aren't getting off the couch
- 16:33Speaker 1: if it's not for a certain amount of cash. Yeah,
- 16:36Speaker 1: at this point, you got to be able to make
- 16:37Speaker 1: it worth their while. Apparently he's various Smith almost six
- 16:40Speaker 1: and a half million bucks. It's a good, good gig
- 16:41Speaker 1: if you can still get it.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think you can get that working as
- 16:44Speaker 2: an executive in a for two five hunter companies.
- 16:47Speaker 3: No, not six points some million.
- 16:49Speaker 4: No, I don't think that one's gonna happen.
- 16:51Speaker 1: Yeah, might be, might be a little while before you
- 16:53Speaker 1: can put that one on me. Bill Hubert did match
- 16:55Speaker 1: you because we were a little blocked from the one
- 16:57Speaker 1: on one past. Catching we're rush is hard to take
- 17:01Speaker 1: your eyes off of when three hundred pound behemoths are
- 17:04Speaker 1: battling right in front of you. One of the main highlights,
- 17:06Speaker 1: as Bill Huber mentioned, was sky Moore beating Xavier McKinney
- 17:10Speaker 1: badly for a touchdown, then McKinny coming back for an
- 17:13Speaker 1: interception while covering sky Moore more as a fascinating cat.
- 17:17Speaker 1: We saw him a little bit on the offensive side
- 17:19Speaker 1: on Thursday night, when I think we see a lot
- 17:21Speaker 1: more of him coming up on Friday and beyond. Because
- 17:24Speaker 1: Matt Viflor mentioned it earlier on today, or maybe it
- 17:26Speaker 1: was Brian Goodecus, they kind of blend together of wanting
- 17:29Speaker 1: to the possibility of keeping seven wide receivers. We've seen
- 17:33Speaker 1: j Michael Sturdivan Isaiah and they are both looking very
- 17:36Speaker 1: very good, but it's difficult to keep them any guys
- 17:39Speaker 1: unless you have core special teamers like a Boat Melton
- 17:43Speaker 1: or sky Moore are.
- 17:44Speaker 4: Gonna be on the team for that.
- 17:46Speaker 1: But anything you can get from sky more offensively gonna
- 17:48Speaker 1: be a bonus. And they're trying desperately to find some.
- 17:51Speaker 2: More rules for it and not just throwing the ball
- 17:53Speaker 2: to him, handing it to him, you know what I mean.
- 17:55Speaker 2: The jet, sweep motion, the orbit motion around the offensive backfield,
- 18:00Speaker 2: different ways of getting him the ball, and he's probably
- 18:03Speaker 2: best when you get him the ball in space, you
- 18:06Speaker 2: know what I mean. He may not be the great
- 18:07Speaker 2: route runner you're looking for that kind of thing, but
- 18:10Speaker 2: if he can give them a return game both kicks
- 18:12Speaker 2: and punts, if he can provide them a gadget on offense, man,
- 18:17Speaker 2: he can be valuable to this football team.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Very excited to see his practice continues on. Some more
- 18:23Speaker 1: of those guys get some work and we'll get into
- 18:25Speaker 1: a team period coming up here shortly, working on some
- 18:28Speaker 1: punts and some live Daniel Whalen punts is he pins
- 18:31Speaker 1: one right inside the twelve yard line, caught by Will
- 18:33Speaker 1: Sheppard right there.
- 18:34Speaker 2: And Bill, I know we're going to go to a
- 18:35Speaker 2: break here pretty soon. But Daniel Wheeling's I guess work
- 18:41Speaker 2: this summer has involved a lot of placement punting, a
- 18:44Speaker 2: lot of directional kicking this year, and maybe that's something
- 18:48Speaker 2: that he's he can boom it. He led the league
- 18:51Speaker 2: in gross punting. But I think what they'd also like
- 18:54Speaker 2: to see, Hi man a little bit more of is
- 18:56Speaker 2: that placement, you know, along the sidelines inside the ten
- 19:00Speaker 2: yard line type of thing, you know, corner coffin types
- 19:03Speaker 2: of kicks, especially if you have a dangerous return man
- 19:06Speaker 2: on the other side.
- 19:07Speaker 1: And in Pittsburgh on Thursday night, he had one that
- 19:09Speaker 1: was just a millimeter away from being a beautifully placed
- 19:14Speaker 1: one right inside the inside the five yard line. Coverage
- 19:17Speaker 1: teams getting down there and gonna be a factor of it.
- 19:19Speaker 1: But closely watching some more of the maybe best punter
- 19:23Speaker 1: in football working off to our left side as he
- 19:26Speaker 1: takes a beautiful waist ice snap, big swing of the
- 19:29Speaker 1: right leg. That one's caught right there by Jeane Nicknixon
- 19:32Speaker 1: at the nine yard line, and a lot of room
- 19:34Speaker 1: out in front, a lot of room for you to
- 19:36Speaker 1: join us, not in the stands here in rayn Ishki Field,
- 19:39Speaker 1: but on YouTube x Facebook as well as the free
- 19:42Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app.
- 19:42Speaker 4: But it is one of the letdowns of all sports.
- 19:45Speaker 1: You want to have a better batting average at the
- 19:47Speaker 1: Potawatami Sports book than Cal Rowley does for the Seattle Mariners.
- 19:51Speaker 1: So go in today, go and place a minimum sports
- 19:54Speaker 1: bet or a maximum sports bet, whatever you feel comfortable
- 19:57Speaker 1: and confident investing in, and if you're going to the game,
- 20:00Speaker 1: you'll get a ride to and from the game. A
- 20:02Speaker 1: same day sportsbook bet or a sportsbook dining purchase gets
- 20:04Speaker 1: you a ride to and from American Family Field.
- 20:07Speaker 4: You're along with us for the ride.
- 20:09Speaker 1: As the Packers number one offense meets the number one defense,
- 20:13Speaker 1: we see Aaron Banks, Wayne larvie In is about as
- 20:17Speaker 1: clue close to the number one offense as you'll see
- 20:20Speaker 1: Bacco Zach Baco Buela still working his way back into
- 20:24Speaker 1: team portions, as Anthony Belton is working right now with
- 20:27Speaker 1: the number one offensive line at right tackle. Saw some
- 20:31Speaker 1: as that one goes quickly to Matthew Golden and right
- 20:34Speaker 1: now speed right up to seam.
- 20:35Speaker 4: Didn't even blink and you missed it.
- 20:37Speaker 1: We're seeing a good long look Josh Jacobs back in practice.
- 20:41Speaker 1: First day for him, but a lot of run for
- 20:44Speaker 1: marsha On Lloyd in preseason game number one, you'd expect
- 20:48Speaker 1: the longer one. He's been out there with the first
- 20:50Speaker 1: team as well. Here Wayne, I felt like you could
- 20:54Speaker 1: tell there was a little bit of indecision but wanting
- 20:58Speaker 1: to do something kind of like me when I get
- 21:00Speaker 1: to the candy store or the candy aisle. Marshawn Lloyd
- 21:03Speaker 1: was jumping at any and every gap, like he's been
- 21:06Speaker 1: waiting to be able to get into a football game
- 21:08Speaker 1: for the first time in a while. I thought the
- 21:10Speaker 1: burst was there, but maybe just a little bit cleaner
- 21:14Speaker 1: looks and reading of the holes will be what you
- 21:16Speaker 1: hope to see from him going on.
- 21:17Speaker 3: I thought he was shaking off rust.
- 21:19Speaker 2: You know. The vision aspect of it, I think is
- 21:22Speaker 2: what you're talking about, Bill, and the timing. You know,
- 21:25Speaker 2: vision and timing, it's so key. We never talk about
- 21:28Speaker 2: that with running backs. We talk about other things, but
- 21:30Speaker 2: that's really the key. You've got to read your blocks
- 21:32Speaker 2: and you've got to nowhere to go if this hole
- 21:35Speaker 2: isn't open to where to bounce it. That kind of thing,
- 21:37Speaker 2: and that's you know, that comes from almost two years
- 21:40Speaker 2: of not playing football, Yeah, and just.
- 21:43Speaker 1: A waiting and jones and to be able to get
- 21:45Speaker 1: in and if it's been like you said, so long since,
- 21:48Speaker 1: he's got an extended run and we're seeing some good
- 21:51Speaker 1: runs so far from Marshawn Lloyd in campus, Jayden Reid
- 21:55Speaker 1: comes around the orbit zone and or orbit motion and
- 21:58Speaker 1: now inside is Marshawn Lloyd. He hits the deck and
- 22:02Speaker 1: a couple of bodies hit the ground and now the
- 22:05Speaker 1: ball pops out and the defense letting you know that
- 22:07Speaker 1: it's their football.
- 22:08Speaker 4: Zaire Franklin the first one.
- 22:10Speaker 1: Zaire Franklin was probably five or six yards away from
- 22:13Speaker 1: where the ball went out, but he was the first
- 22:15Speaker 1: one to let you know, ball's out and it's going
- 22:17Speaker 1: our way. Packers first team offense getting a long run
- 22:20Speaker 1: here at the first team defense. Devonte Wyatt getting some
- 22:23Speaker 1: reps already in this portion of team mentioned Aaron Banks.
- 22:28Speaker 1: He came in for Jagger Burton, who started at left guard.
- 22:31Speaker 1: At right guard, it's been Jacob munk pretty much this
- 22:34Speaker 1: entire time, and and.
- 22:36Speaker 2: I wonder if that's going to be what we see
- 22:38Speaker 2: in Minneapolis, Jacob Munkett right guard.
- 22:40Speaker 3: It's very possible.
- 22:42Speaker 1: It really is, Wayne, especially when he is giving you
- 22:45Speaker 1: no reason to take him out of the spot. And
- 22:48Speaker 1: you had a beautiful rep right there working against Devonte
- 22:51Speaker 1: Wyatt in a great catch by Joshua.
- 22:53Speaker 2: Josh Wiley spinning around for that catch the ball, throwing
- 22:56Speaker 2: more back shoulder. I think Jordan Love had to do
- 22:59Speaker 2: that because the cover was out front, and Wiley made
- 23:02Speaker 2: a great adjustment.
- 23:03Speaker 3: You know, he shows me.
- 23:04Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but in this camp I've
- 23:06Speaker 2: seen more of him as a receiver than I in
- 23:09Speaker 2: more ability as a receiver than I thought a.
- 23:11Speaker 4: Ton and you have it.
- 23:12Speaker 1: We got just a glimpse of what he could be
- 23:15Speaker 1: a receiving wise last year. And was it the New
- 23:18Speaker 1: York game that he went out with the concussion?
- 23:21Speaker 3: I think so.
- 23:22Speaker 4: And it felt like he was starting to have a
- 23:24Speaker 4: little bit a breakout in his role, right.
- 23:26Speaker 2: And yeah, he played well that day and went out
- 23:28Speaker 2: with a concussion, and you know it wasn't quite he
- 23:31Speaker 2: did through off his season, no doubt about that.
- 23:34Speaker 4: They definitely have something with him though.
- 23:36Speaker 1: And Jacob Munk pulling around to the left side misses
- 23:39Speaker 1: the intended target on the poll, however, the run gets
- 23:42Speaker 1: stuffed up as Chris Brooks. Nice to see him back
- 23:44Speaker 1: into team practices. It's been a little bit of a
- 23:47Speaker 1: slow grind to get Chris Brooks up to speed. As
- 23:50Speaker 1: he walked in on the NFI list. Packer's first team
- 23:53Speaker 1: offense comes off, second team offense will join the party
- 23:58Speaker 1: and will join Anthony Calton is the only guy.
- 24:00Speaker 4: That stays out there.
- 24:01Speaker 1: A lot of run over at right tackle and Wahene
- 24:05Speaker 1: A lot's been talked about Belton felt like he was
- 24:07Speaker 1: going to be maybe the incumbent, the leader in the
- 24:09Speaker 1: clubhouse for that right guard spot. It's got a ton
- 24:12Speaker 1: of reps at right tackle. And whether or not that
- 24:15Speaker 1: was how you anticipated camp going for him for his career,
- 24:19Speaker 1: probably not a bad thing to play somewhere that is
- 24:22Speaker 1: won as well compensated as the right tackle position is
- 24:26Speaker 1: in the NFL.
- 24:26Speaker 4: But also they need.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Somebody to be able to lock down that swing tackle
- 24:31Speaker 1: because you saw Darien Canard a lot not for a
- 24:34Speaker 1: Ton at left tackle, but a lot in for Zach
- 24:37Speaker 1: Bacabela and that six offensive line format. Belton's going to
- 24:42Speaker 1: be a part of it. If what we've seen indications
- 24:45Speaker 1: wise out here would be he's going to be over
- 24:47Speaker 1: at that right side kind of locking up a lot
- 24:50Speaker 1: of that physically because of just his stature in size.
- 24:54Speaker 2: Matt Lafleura mentioned to us last week that it seems
- 24:57Speaker 2: like to him anyway, Belton is more comfortable attack.
- 25:00Speaker 3: It's what he was in college.
- 25:02Speaker 2: You know, in the NFL, they'll sometimes move a tackle
- 25:04Speaker 2: into guard and sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.
- 25:08Speaker 2: And I got the impression from what Matt was saying
- 25:10Speaker 2: in the way he said it that maybe it's not
- 25:12Speaker 2: so much working out a card, but they still feel
- 25:15Speaker 2: that his kid can be a very good tackle.
- 25:17Speaker 3: He certainly has the dimension for it.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's certainly had plenty of opportunity to show
- 25:23Speaker 1: in camp right now that he can hold it down.
- 25:25Speaker 1: And he had a quick rush off to the right
- 25:28Speaker 1: side by Aaron Mosby against him on this one as
- 25:31Speaker 1: the second team offense roles against a lot of the
- 25:34Speaker 1: second team defense.
- 25:35Speaker 3: And apart you've got a better angle than I do.
- 25:36Speaker 2: I'm being blocked back camera guy who just blocks out
- 25:40Speaker 2: that happens in front of me.
- 25:41Speaker 3: I can't see a damn thing.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Well, luckily you didn't miss much. The one thing you
- 25:45Speaker 1: missed right there is Carrington Valentine running with the twos
- 25:48Speaker 1: him back at practice. Wayne will add to the competition
- 25:53Speaker 1: that is now flared up over at corner. Keishawn Nixon
- 25:57Speaker 1: Lightning rod as always was speaking at his locker on Sunday, Admittedly,
- 26:03Speaker 1: so I didn't think he said anything that was super
- 26:05Speaker 1: out of bounds.
- 26:06Speaker 4: At no point did he straight up you know, trash.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Anybody who said, yeah, it seems like I'm being punished
- 26:10Speaker 1: right now.
- 26:11Speaker 4: I did make the Pro Bowl, A year ago. But
- 26:13Speaker 4: I'm going to be in a competition. Everybody is going.
- 26:15Speaker 1: To be in competition on the football team, and as
- 26:19Speaker 1: long as you are confident what you're going to be
- 26:22Speaker 1: able to do, which I believe he firmly is.
- 26:24Speaker 4: I think he believes he's going to win the job.
- 26:26Speaker 4: And right now the.
- 26:27Speaker 1: Twos are Carrington Valentine and Benjamin Saints. It feels like
- 26:32Speaker 1: he will still be a leader in the clubhouse. But
- 26:35Speaker 1: I think it almost speaks more to how Brandon Ceesay
- 26:37Speaker 1: Wayne has seemingly locked up one of the spots and
- 26:40Speaker 1: everybody else is going to have to battle for another.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Carrington Valentine went out very early in camp with an injury,
- 26:45Speaker 2: and Brandon Seesay, who'd been knocking on that door and
- 26:49Speaker 2: was going to be in a competition with Valentine, he
- 26:52Speaker 2: took over that position, and they seem very comfortable with
- 26:54Speaker 2: him and willing to grow with the ups and downs
- 26:59Speaker 2: that are rookie provides at that position.
- 27:01Speaker 1: And there's obviously going to be pluses and minuses to
- 27:04Speaker 1: having somebody that young in the position, But baptism by
- 27:09Speaker 1: fire when you look at the first five weeks that
- 27:11Speaker 1: the Packers have, I mean they go up against some
- 27:13Speaker 1: of the best pass catchers in football in that first week.
- 27:17Speaker 1: Keep forgetting that Mike Evans is no longer a Tampa
- 27:19Speaker 1: Bay buccaneer now he's a San Francisco forty nine er.
- 27:22Speaker 1: But Chris Godwins made multiple Pro Bowls, and Mecca Abuco
- 27:26Speaker 1: was a phenomenal rookie a year ago. And those guys
- 27:30Speaker 1: that doesn't mention Jordan Maddison and Justin Jefferson who are
- 27:32Speaker 1: looking their chops with a rookie un opening.
- 27:34Speaker 2: Daywayne Drake London. Drake London in Atlanta with the Falcons,
- 27:39Speaker 2: and so all of that will be happening early on.
- 27:41Speaker 2: We're gonna get a quick look at this defense of
- 27:43Speaker 2: the secondary and how they can cover the best in
- 27:46Speaker 2: the league.
- 27:47Speaker 1: And Garrett Wilson there in week number two is no
- 27:50Speaker 1: slouch either. Beautiful play right there made by Tyrod Taylor.
- 27:54Speaker 1: He was the backup quarterback that didn't get a lot
- 27:57Speaker 1: of conversation off of preseason game number one because I
- 28:00Speaker 1: think one of the moments of the first preseason game
- 28:04Speaker 1: was the drive that Kyle McCord led in the two
- 28:07Speaker 1: minute drill to set up trace back for the fifty
- 28:09Speaker 1: eight yarder. That was big time, and you really saw
- 28:12Speaker 1: a lot of poise from the young man.
- 28:14Speaker 2: If that kid makes the team maybe as the third quarterback,
- 28:17Speaker 2: that drive you can point back to that moment totally and.
- 28:21Speaker 1: Whether or not it's this team or another. I think
- 28:24Speaker 1: that gives you a lot of confidence and belief that
- 28:26Speaker 1: he's going to be able to succeed if thrown in
- 28:30Speaker 1: and you have to have some baptism by fire. They
- 28:32Speaker 1: then also cut Kyron Drones the next day and he
- 28:36Speaker 1: had four dropbacks Wayne resulted in three sacks and an incompletion. Yeah,
- 28:40Speaker 1: that would be what we consider a bad day at
- 28:42Speaker 1: the office, But I also thought the release was speaking
- 28:46Speaker 1: to what they saw out.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Of Kyle mccle I agree, And you know, Drones, we
- 28:51Speaker 2: knew development Okay, we talked about it early in camp.
- 28:54Speaker 2: He was a developmental athlete at quarterback and a guy
- 28:57Speaker 2: that has a lot of promise.
- 28:59Speaker 3: But he was pretty fun behind. I think the other
- 29:01Speaker 3: three guys.
- 29:02Speaker 4: Much much better.
- 29:04Speaker 1: Positioning here for the next cross the sea, for the
- 29:08Speaker 1: next run of team. As the Packers offense starts up
- 29:11Speaker 1: with tight wide receivers off to the right, stacked up
- 29:15Speaker 1: read and golden ball across medal, golden and wide open. Yeah,
- 29:19Speaker 1: not wide open, looks wide open because of the heater
- 29:22Speaker 1: that he hauls in from Jordan Lone.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Now I think Jordan Love is I wouldn't say forcing
- 29:27Speaker 2: the ball to golden maybe too much of a statement,
- 29:29Speaker 2: but looking for and getting golden because he needs to
- 29:33Speaker 2: develop that chemistry with this wide receiver.
- 29:36Speaker 3: This is an important wide receiver.
- 29:38Speaker 2: Love and Christian Watson on the same page, Jayden Reid
- 29:42Speaker 2: as well, but they need to get Golden involved in
- 29:45Speaker 2: this thing, and they are doing that in this camp.
- 29:48Speaker 1: I think if I look at it as you know,
- 29:53Speaker 1: simplistically as you can, I think the two biggest wild
- 29:56Speaker 1: cards for the Packers in twenty twenty six will be
- 29:59Speaker 1: Matthew and on the defensive side, I think it's Adrian Cooper.
- 30:02Speaker 1: Probably two guys that were felt like the wild cards
- 30:05Speaker 1: as Tucker Craft right across the middle. That's easy money
- 30:08Speaker 1: on a fifteen yard crosser right up the middle. But
- 30:11Speaker 1: it feels like those two players their developments or potential
- 30:16Speaker 1: massive swings upward Wayne as real contributors and potentially really
- 30:22Speaker 1: good NFL players, is where they kind of hang in
- 30:25Speaker 1: the balance of how much they're counting and believing in
- 30:28Speaker 1: trusting in those times.
- 30:29Speaker 2: You look at the people around the quarterback in the
- 30:31Speaker 2: receiving department, Watson why to the right here, Golden and
- 30:34Speaker 2: Reeds slot to the left, the tight end, Tucker Craft.
- 30:38Speaker 2: Those are really good players around this quarterback. They should
- 30:42Speaker 2: if they can protect and run the football a little bit,
- 30:46Speaker 2: they should have a very good offensive season. This is
- 30:50Speaker 2: a top ten caliber offense if the offensive line can
- 30:53Speaker 2: hold up its end of the bargain. And that's a
- 30:55Speaker 2: huge question mark in this camp today.
- 30:58Speaker 1: It's a big one and it's gonna be one of
- 30:59Speaker 1: the questions all year long. As many have said that
- 31:04Speaker 1: it was probably the worst performing offensive line that the
- 31:07Speaker 1: Packers have had under Matt Lafleur, and I think it
- 31:10Speaker 1: was potentially, by a decent margin last year, the lowest
- 31:14Speaker 1: performing offensive line that he's had.
- 31:16Speaker 4: He's had some really really good ones with some really
- 31:17Speaker 4: great players.
- 31:18Speaker 1: Right now, that five up front features Zach baccobel over
- 31:22Speaker 1: at right tackle next to Tucker Craft, and that is
- 31:25Speaker 1: a beautiful thing for Packers fans to see as Jordan
- 31:27Speaker 1: Love play action rips one across the middle. So Matthew
- 31:32Speaker 1: Golden's open. It just seems like he only gets open.
- 31:36Speaker 1: And now Matthew Golden chirp and big time at Carrington
- 31:40Speaker 1: who's in there with the first team defense and Carrington Valentine.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Let's Matthew Golden hear about it as he celebrates that
- 31:47Speaker 1: grab right in front of him.
- 31:48Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely, competition. Yeah, well in the talk.
- 31:54Speaker 1: And there will be because we got the kicking that
- 31:56Speaker 1: right off to all right, I imagine we're potentially seeing
- 31:59Speaker 1: some of that and Valentine in four keyshott Nixon here
- 32:04Speaker 1: as we start up this second run of team. But
- 32:07Speaker 1: about five minutes ago, we had said Brandon sees seems
- 32:10Speaker 1: like the incumbent. He's over there on the right side
- 32:12Speaker 1: and has not moved. Jordan Morgan next to Jagger Burton
- 32:16Speaker 1: on the left side of the Packers offensive line. As
- 32:18Speaker 1: a quick hitter finds Jayden Reid, who is alone off
- 32:21Speaker 1: the left and quickly right in front of Carrington Valentine.
- 32:25Speaker 4: That one for Jayden Reid.
- 32:27Speaker 1: His explosiveness is going to be important for how they
- 32:30Speaker 1: can play offensively. And sky Moore rotating in and out,
- 32:33Speaker 1: and so is Aaron Banks rotating in on the offensive line,
- 32:37Speaker 1: but Jagger Burton getting the first touches in the first
- 32:40Speaker 1: reps for team in both of these two team periods
- 32:43Speaker 1: there left guard.
- 32:44Speaker 2: Cow and Oliver is out there at edge rusher on
- 32:48Speaker 2: this particular defensive look, So he's a guy to kind
- 32:51Speaker 2: of look for.
- 32:52Speaker 3: I think he's shown up a little bit of camp
- 32:53Speaker 3: this year, and.
- 32:54Speaker 1: I thought he performed very well in his time during
- 32:57Speaker 1: the preseason game. He had that one third down stop Wayne.
- 32:59Speaker 1: That was one of the bigger defensive plays that the
- 33:02Speaker 1: backers had, especially one of the only things to talk
- 33:04Speaker 1: about in the second half defensively, second.
- 33:06Speaker 4: Half wasn't all that fun. Josh Wiley gets a.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Quick, quick route off to the right side, and this
- 33:14Speaker 1: defense lined up as you mentioned, Colin Oliver stacked up
- 33:17Speaker 1: right next to Lucas van As right. And we've wondered
- 33:22Speaker 1: how much you can see players rushing one through five.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Micah Parsons stopped by the NFL Network when they were
- 33:27Speaker 1: here a couple of weeks ago and was talking with
- 33:30Speaker 1: Brian Baldinger, former NFL offensive Linean's like, I think in
- 33:33Speaker 1: the NFL, I'm the best at rushing one through five,
- 33:37Speaker 1: up and down the defensive line. Feels like they're gonna
- 33:40Speaker 1: ask a lot of guys to be able to do
- 33:42Speaker 1: that coming off this year.
- 33:43Speaker 2: They're gonna move people around in the element of surprise
- 33:46Speaker 2: and the skies, as they say, is a big factor
- 33:49Speaker 2: for this defense under Jonathan Gannon.
- 33:51Speaker 1: A couple of good reps early on this team, portion
- 33:55Speaker 1: for Zach Bacoboela who gets himself back in here. And
- 33:59Speaker 1: this is one of the unger runs for the first
- 34:01Speaker 1: team offense as Adam Stenovich, offensive coordinator, comes in and
- 34:05Speaker 1: calls the play.
- 34:05Speaker 4: Matt lafore mentioned earlier today as he's done.
- 34:08Speaker 1: For I mean the last two or three preseasons, called
- 34:11Speaker 1: the plays on Thursday Night been kind of a common
- 34:14Speaker 1: theme for the Packers and how they've operated as they
- 34:17Speaker 1: mug up just about everybody on the defensive line. Only
- 34:20Speaker 1: player not within five yards of the football for the
- 34:23Speaker 1: defense Xavior McKinney, who is right near the back end,
- 34:26Speaker 1: would have been a tough ball to get off because
- 34:28Speaker 1: Lucas van s was closing the gap quickly off to
- 34:32Speaker 1: the right side.
- 34:33Speaker 2: And that was a bomb down the sideline that Jayden
- 34:36Speaker 2: Reidy could not come up with it. Keishawn Nixon with
- 34:39Speaker 2: the Savior over the top X over the top on
- 34:44Speaker 2: the coverage.
- 34:44Speaker 3: From the safety positioning Xavier McKinney.
- 34:48Speaker 1: Packers get another look at some of their younger defensive
- 34:52Speaker 1: lineman here as Chris McClellan enters with or Nazer stackhouse
- 34:57Speaker 1: By and Jonathan Ford and Kyle McCord takes the set.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Team reps hit Savian Williams across the middle, and Savian
- 35:04Speaker 1: flashed a little bit on Thursday night.
- 35:06Speaker 4: Anticipated a lot more coming up for him on Friday.
- 35:09Speaker 2: I think you're going to see him more exposure with him.
- 35:12Speaker 3: We see it in the camp folks.
- 35:14Speaker 2: I know that you're not here obviously, if you're listening
- 35:17Speaker 2: to this broadcast, probably not here. But we see a
- 35:20Speaker 2: lot of Savion Williams in practice here. We know they
- 35:24Speaker 2: have plans for him. There's no doubt about that.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Stall rev hitting us up on the YouTube comments, you
- 35:29Speaker 1: guys talking about Jordan love to Matthew Golden over the
- 35:31Speaker 1: middle sounds like the days of Jordan Nelson over the
- 35:33Speaker 1: Middle makes me smile hearing that. Take a deep breath.
- 35:37Speaker 1: We're not guaranteeing any of that, but it does seem
- 35:39Speaker 1: very very easy to be wondering and excited about the
- 35:44Speaker 1: possibility of Matthew Golden catching up a bunch of balls
- 35:46Speaker 1: this year because you're gonna get a lot of opportunities.
- 35:48Speaker 1: They're throwing him in as the ex receiver and he's
- 35:51Speaker 1: counted upon to be one of the leaders of this offense,
- 35:54Speaker 1: which they trimmed a lot of you can say they
- 35:57Speaker 1: trimmed the fat. They cut out a lot of the
- 36:01Speaker 1: reps and the targets that were spread across.
- 36:03Speaker 4: It's going to be concentrated.
- 36:05Speaker 1: More on their number one guys, and clearly they've signaled
- 36:09Speaker 1: that Golden is one of them.
- 36:10Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna be one of them, there's no doubt
- 36:12Speaker 2: as a first round draft choice. Getting a look at
- 36:14Speaker 2: Kyle McCord working here in the training camp. A little
- 36:17Speaker 2: swing pass out to Messiah Swinson, the tight end chase
- 36:20Speaker 2: down out of bounds by Jalen Simpson near a first down.
- 36:24Speaker 2: The tight ends the thing you notice about in this camp.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Drake Dabney another one who I think has had a
- 36:30Speaker 2: terrific camp. Again, a free agent guy. Nobody knows him,
- 36:33Speaker 2: but he looks like a guy who can play in
- 36:35Speaker 2: line and maybe give you a little something in the flat.
- 36:38Speaker 2: But the tight end's good size. These are big people
- 36:41Speaker 2: at tight end now for the Packers.
- 36:43Speaker 1: Yeah, they definitely have as Brian Gudokunz mentioned after the
- 36:48Speaker 1: twenty twenty one playoff game against the forty nine ers,
- 36:51Speaker 1: we need to get bigger and we need to be
- 36:52Speaker 1: as physical as possible. They have loaded up, especially at
- 36:56Speaker 1: that position as McCord has to just get rid of
- 36:59Speaker 1: that one quickly. As the rush was closing in and
- 37:02Speaker 1: Tyron Hopper comes off. Wayne I thought, as a not
- 37:05Speaker 1: a lot of young players, there wasn't a lot of
- 37:07Speaker 1: defensive splashes that happened on Thursday night into the second half.
- 37:11Speaker 1: Tyron Hopper I thought developed and looked very good in
- 37:15Speaker 1: his game reps on Friday.
- 37:16Speaker 2: On Thursday night, Billy, I think he has all the
- 37:18Speaker 2: athletic ability in the world. Can he convert it to
- 37:20Speaker 2: playing on a regular basis in the linebacking corps. I
- 37:23Speaker 2: know the Packers think he can, and they're giving him
- 37:25Speaker 2: an opportunity to show that in this camp.
- 37:27Speaker 3: But I think he's a terrific athlete.
- 37:29Speaker 2: I liking him a lot to Edgeran Cooper, you know
- 37:32Speaker 2: that kind of ability level.
- 37:34Speaker 1: Sky Moore lines up a little bit into the backfield
- 37:36Speaker 1: there as the ball across the middle on a drag
- 37:39Speaker 1: goes to Savian Williams, completed and wraps up, and that
- 37:42Speaker 1: concludes this portion team portion of practice in front of
- 37:46Speaker 1: us here at ray Nichki Field.
- 37:48Speaker 3: You like team practice when we can see it.
- 37:50Speaker 2: Great in the offense, driving deep into the red zone,
- 37:53Speaker 2: they're letting Tray Smack try a field goal here of
- 37:56Speaker 2: the forty four yards it looks like off the right
- 37:59Speaker 2: hash and again everyone talks about the wind here being tricky.
- 38:05Speaker 3: I couldn't tell I was gonna say he missed it
- 38:07Speaker 3: to the right.
- 38:08Speaker 4: I think he missed it.
- 38:09Speaker 1: But we're not positive because once again there will be
- 38:12Speaker 1: no signaling if that kick is good or not.
- 38:14Speaker 4: Will be no signaling year. Just like how they said
- 38:17Speaker 4: no fighting in the bleachers.
- 38:19Speaker 1: That did not work very well at Wrigley Field, they
- 38:21Speaker 1: say no fighting at Packers practice. There have only been
- 38:23Speaker 1: very little, limited scuffles. Nothing here today, But now three
- 38:26Speaker 1: team periods. We like a lot more team periods when
- 38:29Speaker 1: we like them a lot more when they're right out
- 38:31Speaker 1: in front of us.
- 38:32Speaker 4: Love the two minutes. There's a clear winner and a loser.
- 38:35Speaker 4: The defense was the winner on that one potentially MS
- 38:38Speaker 4: field goal.
- 38:38Speaker 2: And there were what eleven seconds ago when that pass
- 38:41Speaker 2: was attempted over the middle when deflected away from Watson
- 38:45Speaker 2: into the hands of Zayier Franklin and now Tyrod Taylor
- 38:50Speaker 2: running the offense. And this is always good to see
- 38:52Speaker 2: how the second unit comes together. And Taylor veteran quarterback
- 38:56Speaker 2: sixteen years Oh, no, leaping grabbed down field, sensational catch,
- 39:01Speaker 2: but saveon Williams if I'm not mistaken in that catch.
- 39:05Speaker 2: A leaping grab across the forty yard line in Ediby territory.
- 39:10Speaker 1: And a beautiful ball thrown right into the hole of
- 39:14Speaker 1: the covered two defense in between Jalen Simpson. And is
- 39:18Speaker 1: that Kamal Hadden over there on the far side. A
- 39:20Speaker 1: perfectly placed ball?
- 39:22Speaker 2: Yeah, it really was. The coverage was pretty good. Quick
- 39:24Speaker 2: slant here to sky Moore. He gets up, limping in,
- 39:27Speaker 2: jogs off under his own power to the sideline. Doesn't
- 39:30Speaker 2: look like any kind of a major problem there.
- 39:32Speaker 3: But you hate to see that.
- 39:34Speaker 1: Do you like to see Anthony Campbell back in a practice, Wayne,
- 39:37Speaker 1: He's been one of the one of the real bright
- 39:40Speaker 1: spots of camp so far, and he went down in
- 39:43Speaker 1: the preseason game.
- 39:44Speaker 4: Looked like he could have been a scarier situation.
- 39:45Speaker 1: Good to see him back in pads and back rolling
- 39:49Speaker 1: here and Keisha Nixon alongside our opposite I should say
- 39:53Speaker 1: Jalen Simpson here with the number two's in the quarterback realm.
- 39:57Speaker 1: A lot of people listening to us want to make
- 39:59Speaker 1: sure that they know what the cornerback rotation is. Over
- 40:02Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, and we've seen Brandon Cisa
- 40:05Speaker 1: locked in with the ones and a full rotation of
- 40:08Speaker 1: those three. Nixon, Valentine and now Saint Juice getting the
- 40:12Speaker 1: first run with the number one defense there as the
- 40:14Speaker 1: ball goes errantly off to the left side to Messiahs
- 40:17Speaker 1: Swinson as they reach a third down. Here about a
- 40:20Speaker 1: third and ten from the thirty five yard line is
- 40:25Speaker 1: the Packers' second offense takes a rip here in the
- 40:28Speaker 1: two minute drill, forty four seconds to go, plenty of
- 40:30Speaker 1: time need a field goal to tie. Three receivers off
- 40:33Speaker 1: to the right side and Taylor with Nixon to the left,
- 40:36Speaker 1: and the shotgun.
- 40:37Speaker 4: Pumps rolls off right time. Yep, Hits finds.
- 40:43Speaker 1: Will Sheppard there near the first down, probably a couple
- 40:46Speaker 1: of yards short, right down to about the twenty nine.
- 40:49Speaker 2: These guys roll their shirts up and so you only
- 40:51Speaker 2: see half the number half the time, and it's really
- 40:54Speaker 2: hard to determine who has it or does it.
- 40:56Speaker 1: I'm glad that the Hall of Fame voice of the
- 40:58Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers having that same strip, because I mean.
- 41:01Speaker 3: It is Wayne. It's ridiculous.
- 41:02Speaker 4: It is difficult when you see it.
- 41:04Speaker 1: No full panel, that's what Jagger Burton, thank you for
- 41:07Speaker 1: the young man wearing the jersey fully all the way down.
- 41:10Speaker 1: You see him come in with the kick block you
- 41:13Speaker 1: or the field goal protection unit as trace man gets
- 41:15Speaker 1: another opportunity, this.
- 41:16Speaker 4: One forty eight, forty eight yards away, ye, forty eight right.
- 41:20Speaker 1: Hash Wheeland gets the nod, gets the snap, good snap
- 41:25Speaker 1: kick on the way, plenty of leg and off to
- 41:28Speaker 1: the right. I believe again was that one believe that
- 41:31Speaker 1: one was wide right? Still not a beautiful vantage point
- 41:34Speaker 1: of it.
- 41:35Speaker 6: But anybody's guess from this right, anybody's guests now is
- 41:39Speaker 6: what is the worst booth in the NFL for judging
- 41:43Speaker 6: kicks because you have to someone go on the monitor.
- 41:46Speaker 4: But there are some burutal locations they pin you.
- 41:49Speaker 2: Yeah, when they put you in the corner of the
- 41:52Speaker 2: end zone as we were in Pittsburgh, that's a hard view.
- 41:56Speaker 2: Whether you've got a better chance on the kick. That's
- 41:59Speaker 2: away from you than you do on the one that's
- 42:01Speaker 2: right in front of you half the time.
- 42:03Speaker 1: Now there's some I know, Arizona, I feel like is uh,
- 42:05Speaker 1: there's a difficult spot too.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Because you're you're low, you're in the corner of the
- 42:11Speaker 2: end zone, but as the stands are constructed, you're far
- 42:14Speaker 2: away from the playing surface.
- 42:15Speaker 4: Oh so you're basically pushed all the way back and
- 42:17Speaker 4: the effort. Yeah, that's a tough, tough spot to be in.
- 42:19Speaker 1: So now the Packers will roll into some special teams
- 42:22Speaker 1: period in front of us and take a quick break,
- 42:26Speaker 1: a quick breather from the full team portions.
- 42:29Speaker 4: But that was a hot and heavy first hour.
