Apropos of nothing, just wanted to say that “The Tim Boyle Laser Show” is one of my all-time favorite nicknames. Is there a current Packers player with a nickname that could challenge “The Laser Show” for greatness?<\/p>\n
“The Yeet Cannon” is off to a good start.<\/p>\n

I’m not quite sure how to think of MarShawn Lloyd<\/a> in terms of experience and what to reasonably expect going into next season. He barely started his rookie season (10 plays in first game) before he got hurt. So, he’s not really a third-year player. But he’s had a lot more time and practices to learn the game than a rookie going into his first season. How should we look at him?<\/p>\n A present yet to be opened.<\/p>\n Patrick from East Dubuque, IL<\/p>\n What is the most critical four-week span in the upcoming schedule?<\/p>\n I’m torn between the first four and last four. While the Packers need a strong start against four teams that did not advance to the playoffs last season, they also must finish stronger than they did last year. Green Bay has four of the last five at home. That stretch will define the Packers’ season.<\/p>\n Hey Mike, your answer (which I loved) to Paul in the UK got me thinking. Would you have been able to give that answer when you started with the Packers? Your (and Wes’s and Vic’s) insights have changed the way I watch the game now. Hope Packers Everywhere works out to be able to see you on Oct. 5 in Tampa.<\/p>\n If I were Spoff, I would’ve been half-tempted to use “Sometimes the game happens” because that line was box office. Mike’s take was 100% spot on. No different than how you can’t force big plays you also gotta take them when they present themselves. Points are points. I’d rather put seven on the board and ask the defense to take a deep breath than slowly move the ball downfield and come up empty. Anyone else remember Aaron Rodgers’ 75-yard pass to Aaron Jones in the 2021 NFC Divisional playoffs?<\/p>\n II, is it possible for a D to show a certain alignment daring the O to attack a certain way, allowing the D to know what might be coming? I suspect not, as then everyone could do it, but how does the O compensate?<\/p>\n In a way, that’s what a defense is doing when it hangs in Cover-2. You are daring the offense to run the ball and vice versa with the pass against a single-high safety. With how the game has evolved, pre-snap deception is critical to stressing a quarterback and his offensive line. Football is human speed chess, played by men who can run 22 miles per hour.<\/p>\n I found Mike’s answer regarding personnel groupings really interesting. It’s amazing what happens in just a few seconds. My question is, does a late substitution of a receiver or running back tip off the defense on which player to key? To further the chess match, are late substitutions ever done on purpose to mislead the defense?<\/p>\n Teams don’t mess around with late substitutions because they must allow the defense to counter. If a guy runs on late, it’s almost always a communication error. It’s not always a tell, though, either, with how many guys can play multiple skill positions in this offense.<\/p>\n I loved Spoff’s comment that players in their early 20s aren’t done maturing. In your opinion, which players have you witnessed maturing, both physically and mentally, the most while playing for the Packers? I’d like both of you to respond.<\/p>\n It’s well-documented how much T.J. Lang matured during his time in Green Bay, going from a young player who admittedly enjoyed himself a little to a grizzled veteran and locker-room leader. Physically, the first names I think of are Aaron Jones, Davante Adams, David Bakhtiari, Carrington Valentine<\/a>, and Mike Daniels. Tucker Kraft<\/a> is getting there, too. He’s a man\u2026but not 40.<\/p>\n Jeffery from Monticello, WI<\/p>\n Hey guys, the O-line needs to be the focal point in camp this season, keeping Jordan Love<\/a> vertical and healthy is the most important part of winning in my opinion. It also helps with the running game another important part of putting together a winning team. If Zach Tom<\/a> is unable to play who will fill in at RT?<\/p>\n Darian Kinnard<\/a> took a majority of those reps during the offseason program with Anthony Belton<\/a> also rotating in for a few series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apropos of nothing, just wanted to say that “The Tim Boyle Laser Show” is one of my all-time…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":734597,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[11977,4718,15716,349,99],"class_list":["post-734596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-homepage-cp","tag-news-all-news","tag-news-insider-inbox","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=734596"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734596\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/734597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=734596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=734596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=734596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
