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

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