Green Bay Packers

I'm just talking about defensively.

I'm just talking about they're gonna be all over the offense, okay? Green Bay, I have no faith in them right now.

Minnesota, you're in Minnesota.

Brian Flores and that defense is gonna respond.

I, I agree with you with Houston, but I do think it's interesting, Jim Leonard against C.J. Stroud and the pressure.

We talked about Josh Allen and that defense.

Vikings, Green Bay, I took Green Bay.

I think Ma- Matthew Golden has a big game and big year.

Yes.

Michelle Smallman, recently minted Packer fan, saying this is a must-win game for the Green and Gold.

You gotta win these first three games.

You've gotta come out, and you've gotta make a statement, and here's why.

The Packers were awful to end the season last year.

They were on a five-game losing streak, including that playoff loss at Chicago where they were up double digits.

So the question is, because which is going to be starting on the outside with Smith during his career? He was way down in depth.

It would not have surprised me if the Packers didn't trade him, if they would have released him at some point.

Because he was so far down in the depth chart.

But they're going to be running West Coast, and some of the coaches who are in Green Bay are now with him here.

The Green Bay Packers are one of the oldest teams in the NFL, playing in the league's smallest city and winning more NFL championship titles than any other franchise.

The fun fact, though, is even with the bad quarterback, still went over this number in one of the two games with basically no quarterback play at all.

But he's added at least 85 receiving yards in three of his last four against Green Bay, mainly because the year before, Darnold was quarterback, and O'Connell revived his career, and he was great.

You can easily hate on Kyler Murray.

I get that there are a lot of reasons why you might not like him to be your team's quarterback.

And we've seen Murray with, for example, DeAndre Hopkins.

He's had elite receivers before, and he gets them the ball.

But Green Bay's number one corners aren't exactly that great.

They have depth, but they don't exactly have a shutdown number one corner.

I may not know this, but Eric and I both are from Brooklyn and went to rival high schools.

He went to Packer.

I went to Berkeley Carroll.

I will

We got football coming back, which is very much a two-edged sword for us here in New York land.

Kyle has the Packers.

I got Jordan Love and Fantasy, so let's go Packers.

Hey, Drake May stinks.

Drake May stinks.

And so, I mean, those are two games for me that I have circled on my calendar.

Just ones that I'm interested in just because they're There's something about the game that I'm interested in is the, I think it's the Green Bay versus Minnesota.

My in-laws are Minnesota fans, so I want to see how that plays out.

And Kyler Murray, I want to see what does he look like outside of Arizona? Getting himself a really good offensive-minded head coach and...

And Harvey's a great choice as an X factor because he brings a unique skill set to this offense.

You know, that pass-catching running back, the guy that can run routes effectively.

You go back and watch his touchdown against Green Bay in the preseason.

Watch his route.
