The seats at Lambeau boast a mighty view.


This year to be seen by mighty few.


And the Pack brass has asked,


"Please wear a mask,


for muffled cheers and cold-filtered brew."


Quoth the Phil, nevermore.

Hi Wes, the running game continues to be an emphasis for MLF and the big new rookie only adds to the intrigue. How do you see this specific training camp influencing the evolution of the Packers' run game and the running backs themselves?


It's paging over to the next chapter. It's taking all the positive things Aaron Jones, Jamaal Williams and the offense did last year and improving on that in Year 2 of Matt LaFleur's system. As impressive as Jones was last year, I still think the Packers have only touched the surface of what he's capable of in this offense. The Aaron Jones who finished 2019 was three times as dangerous as the Aaron Jones who started the season.

If you could put two offensive players, two defensive players, and one special teams player that Aaron Rodgers was at one point teammates with onto this Packers team, who would they be?


I'll say 2014 Jordy Nelson, 2016 Jared Cook, 2014 Clay Matthews, 2010 B.J. Raji and Randall Cobb on special teams to squeeze him back on the roster.

For the biggest roar, that pass to Cobb against the Giants is a great memory. I was going to take my wife to the game but she unfortunately got sick. I was able to take my dad instead and my brother got a ticket next to us. We sat in the opposite end zone and had no real view of the catch. All we saw was a wave of arms and sound coming at us and knew we must have scored. Still get goosebumps thinking about it. Thanks for keeping on writing.


And there I was standing in the south end zone, ready to do the Culver's halftime report. Good luck following that, Wes. That game kind of gets lost to history because of all the drama the following week in Dallas, but that was a thorough beat down. It sent a message that the Packers weren't just happy to be there – they wanted to run the table to a championship.

Biggest Lambeau roar? Final touchdown pass and run in the 2018 opening game against the Bears. The place was deafening.


It's hard to believe that's almost two years ago already.

Watch Marcedes Lewis' touchdown reception from Rodgers against the Giants closely. Immediately after the play, he begins to celebrate with Rodgers' signature belt, and is subsequently mobbed by a leaping Rodgers bear hug. Love the culture of this team. Go Pack Go!


Matt LaFleur said it better than I ever could – you can't have enough players like Marcedes Lewis on your team. If you don't believe me, look at how much lamenting has been going on since Jacksonville cut him two years ago. He's more than just a good blocking tight end. He's the heartbeat. He's the soul. And the Jaguars miss that leadership.


Steven from Silver Spring, MD


Tim Boyle is being recognized as experienced due to his year of preseason game action in '19 in the MLF offense. Every year we are reminded that production in the preseason is not an indicator of in season success especially when the production comes against non-starter talent. Aren't we overselling the experience factor in the QB debate?


I don't think that's why Boyle is being recognized. For two years, Boyle has been in meetings with Rodgers and stood on the sidelines with him. There's a lot of value in that experience. Plus, his primary competition for the No. 2 job has yet to lift a single weight at Lambeau Field. There's more that goes into being a backup QB than how many regular-season snaps you've played. Just ask Ty Detmer and Doug Pederson.


Richard from Madison, WI


Watching the annual meeting, I was really impressed by Mark Murphy highlighting the "Enough Is Enough" video. Wanting to pass the link along to my PackerFans mailing list, I went to both the "Video" and "Social Justice" tabs on your website but couldn't find it in either place. Thanks a ton for even having a "Social Justice" tab, by the way, but would you be kind enough to put the "Enough Is Enough" video up on that page as well?


Yep. Here's the link to that video.
