It seems to me that running backs are losing ground in the overall importance to a scheme, they seem to be becoming hybrid backs and receivers. Do you foresee the pure running back position going the way of kickers as to getting into the Hall of Fame?


No. And quite honestly, I think running backs are more important today than they've been anytime over the past decade. And that's not just the hybrids. There's plenty of tried-and-true power backs making waves right now in the NFL.

As far as silencing-the-crowd moments go, I was at the Dallas game where Flynn and company came back. There were many moments of the Dallas crowd becoming silent, but the Packer crowd was loud as well.


This was actually the first moment that came to mind for me when looking back at Spoff's column Monday. There was just such a stark contrast between how loud that stadium was going into halftime compared to what the reaction was when the Packers took the lead with less than two minutes left following Eddie Lacy's touchdown. I've never heard air escape a balloon as fast as I did that day in Dallas.

Kevin King had a so-so season last year. If he does not get any better, how long will the Packers keep him.


I don't think King gets enough credit for how he played last year but you're entitled to your opinion. Either way, he's a starter. If he remains healthy, King will be taking the field for the first defensive snap all year long.

I think nothing makes a national media story look more shoddy than when they get a player's name wrong. I appreciate the diligence from you guys. Keep it up.


My favorite thing is when people talk about how underrated Don Hudson (sic) is.

Gentlemen, if you rearrange most of the letters of raccoon, you get corona. Raccoons have a mask. And we are supposed to wear a mask to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Is it possible the Royal Order of Raccoons is actually behind a worldwide conspiracy here? Is the virus real or are we all destined to be road kill in the earth's history? By the way, are you all able to get out and enjoy the weather this summer?


Sure, yes, fine – just wear the mask. By enjoy the weather, what do you mean? Like go camping, boating or hiking? Then no, I didn't enjoy the weather. If you mean did I appreciate when it didn't rain while I was cutting the lawn or the two times I went golfing, then yes I enjoyed the weather. Take your pick. Choose your own answer.

I have a question regarding what counts as crowd noise. I have to watch a lot of purple games, and I was wondering if the "good play" horn counts as normal crowd noise or if that is a part of PA noise. Being forced to watch those games without the horn would be a small silver lining. Thanks for the daily reprieve of everyday stresses.


You guys already know my thoughts on the Vikings and their penchant for blowing that horn. If there are no fans in 2020, I don't expect that to lessen. If anything, the horn will probably be pulling double shifts.

Family Night with no families doesn't seem like much of a family night to me.


And a donut with no hole, is a Danish. That doesn't mean you still can't enjoy it.
