Jason Wilde: Rashan Gary Concerns Grow, WR Depth Surges & Packers Defense Faces Big Questions
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Packers reporter Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to sort through the two biggest storylines surrounding Green Bay:
1. The WR room is the deepest it’s been in years.
With Jaden Reed returning, Christian Watson playing his best football, and Bo Melton, Wicks and Golden all rotating in, Wilde explains why this is Green Bay’s deepest group since the Jordy–Cobb–Adams era.
2. Rashan Gary is officially a concern.
Wilde reacts to Jeff Hafley’s full-throated defense of Gary — how he’s playing the run well, how play-action protections limit pass-rush chances, and why sacks don’t always tell the whole story.
But Wilde also makes it clear:
• Gary’s snap count is dropping
• Gary and Kingsley Enagbare played nearly identical snaps
• Gary isn’t generating pressures
• Gary’s effort level has come into question
Wilde says the film and usage tell a story the team can’t hide: a $24M pass rusher should not be splitting work evenly with a rotational backup.
Additional topics include:
• Why Carolina’s two-high shell blueprint still limits the Packers offense
• Why sustained 10–12 play drives remain Green Bay’s biggest offensive challenge
• How the TE rotation is working without Tucker Kraft
• Who actually controls defensive snap distribution for edge players
• Whether Jeff Hafley is a realistic contender for NFL head coaching jobs
🎧 Packers honesty, roster clarity, and inside insight — every week with Jason Wilde on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.
