In this episode, the guys break down the debacle in Week 1 for the Green Bay Packers. The team didn't show up to play the New Orleans Saints in Jacksonville, and the overall effort from Aaron Rodgers on down was dreadful. We searched hard for some bright spots in this game, and only a couple emerged. Elton Jenkins may be the Packer's best player after a stellar start at LT in place of the injured All-Pro LT in David Bakhtiari. The new punter Corey Bojorquez was solid in his debut, much to the delight of Dexter, and Rashan Gary was one of the few players that played with any energy and heart against the Saints.
However, a couple of things are clear this defense is still bad. First, they replaced Kirksey with Campbell and brought in a new DC that has never been successful in the NFL and expected different results. New chef, same nasty ingredients. Dean Lowry and Tyler Lancaster are not starting-caliber players. Second, our middle linebackers have been bad for longer than we care to remember. Something has to change, or we will continue to get torched by good teams, and good luck winning in the playoffs. On Monday night, this team has to get back to its identity and run the ball against the Lions. If they do that, they should win, and they should win big! With San Francisco and the Steelers up after Detroit, we need to get right and fast, or this season can be over before we know it.
Give it a listen, and let us know what you think!
