Jason Wilde joins Jen and Gabe ahead of the Packers' Thursday night matchup with the Atlanta Falcons and says Green Bay should win if it is the team it believes it is. Wilde breaks down Matt LaFleur's conservative approach behind an injury-riddled offensive line and why protecting Jordan Love has affected the play calling. He shares his thoughts on Caleb Johnson and why the running back deserves more opportunities moving forward. Jason also examines the Packers' wide receiver depth with Jaden Reed injured and what Christian Watson and Matthew Golden may now be asked to provide.
Jason Wilde joins Kyle & Brust to sort through the Packers’ battered offensive line after their 20-17 overtime win over the Jets. Wilde pushes back on the outrage over Green Bay considering Tucker Kraft as an emergency tackle, explaining just how dire the situation had become after multiple injuries. The bigger concern is what happens now: Wilde says the Packers are in “dire straits” up front, questions why they’ve been hesitant to play Jagger Burton and says there are legitimate concerns about both the development and selection of Green Bay’s offensive linemen.
There were some major positives in the win, though. Wilde highlights Skyy Moore’s impact in the return game and the difference an experienced returner has made on special teams. He also dives into Lukas Van Ness’ breakout performance after the Packers bet on his potential with the fifth-year option. If LVN can sustain this level of play and eventually pair it with a healthy Micah Parsons, Wilde believes Green Bay could have a formidable pass-rushing duo.
Plus, Wilde points to another alarming issue that has to be fixed immediately: 26 penalties through two games, the most by the Packers through two games since penalty tracking began 85 years ago.
Jason Wilde joins Molly & Jim! He tries to ease Molly's fears on a potential winless start for the G&G, gives some updates on Josh Jacobs, previews Packers-Jets, and much more!
Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to examine how the Packers reached Week 2 without a clear answer on their five best offensive linemen. Wilde discusses Aaron Banks’ lingering knee issue, Green Bay’s financial commitment to him and the uncertainty surrounding the right guard position. He also questions why Jagger Burton didn’t get an opportunity after receiving so much praise during training camp. Plus, Wilde explains how recent personnel decisions have left Green Bay with plenty of offensive linemen but few obvious answers up front.
Jason Wilde joins Kyle & Brust with the latest on the Packers’ scramble to fix their offensive line. Green Bay has signed veteran guard Cordell Volson to the practice squad after he started 48 games with Cincinnati, while Jagger Burton could get a look at left guard and Anthony Belton remains an option to move back inside. Wilde says the Packers absolutely should be concerned after Week 1 and explains why Aaron Banks’ availability remains a major question.
Who deserves the blame for the mess? Wilde says it’s not one person, pointing to roster construction, the Aaron Banks contract and the development of Green Bay’s young linemen. He also pushes back on the idea that Matt LaFleur and Adam Stenavich are disconnected, explaining that Stenavich simply has a history of giving unusually candid answers while LaFleur keeps information closer to the vest.
Plus, Wilde explains the story behind Jordan Love’s new Kobe Bryant comparison. After watching Love repeatedly make accurate throws while fading away from pressure, Jayden Reed compared his quarterback’s unconventional delivery to Kobe’s signature fadeaway jumper. Wilde explains why that ability became a lifesaver with Love constantly under pressure against Minnesota.
