To me, 13-3 wasn't the fluke, our injury luck was the fluke. That record was just attainable because we always had most of our guys. Doubt that happens again, but it would seem the young guys that were just potential last year are starting to become real players. Are you also finding more confidence in this team's depth?
At some positions, yes. Others, not so much. I still think there are a lot of questions as to just how deep the Packers are on the defensive line beyond Kenny Clark and Dean Lowry. I'm not saying those other guys can't do it, but they haven't proven it over the long haul. I'd also feel better about the depth at offensive tackle if Billy Turner ends up starting at right tackle and a veteran like Rick Wagner is a swing backup. But we'll see how it ends up.

I'm so glad Molly is OK. If she was not, Mason Crosby would have done the right thing by his family, with the consequent huge loss to the team. I'm hoping that Crosby is with the Packers not just this year, but for the next five years. I'm sure that he would still be in the top half, if not the top third, of kickers even after five years.
I wouldn't put it past him, and yes, hearing him talk about all the family-related discussions with the doctors in a positive light was great.

Mike, is Wes, in reality, to your left when you tape "Packers Unscripted"? In any case the producer, director or someone makes you look bad at intro and sign-off when you mention Wes and point your finger to your left – because on screen he is to your right.
Ha, good to know. Zoom is weird.

I'm very impressed by coach Jerry Gray, as are the DBs I've listened to. How was he available for the Packers to acquire him?
All that was reported after last season is the Vikings and Gray decided to "part ways." Gray has not addressed it.

Saw a mixed bag of comments on the Packers' statement post regarding what happened in Kenosha. Yes, more investigation and facts will come to light, but I'm hopeful people who say the Packers should "stick to football" understand that the Packers aren't just an "organization," they're people. The transparency on their part is greatly appreciated. It's interesting how people are fine with a player endorsing a name-brand product but not their humanitarian perspectives.
I, too, want to let the investigation run its course and uncover all the relevant facts. But I warned everyone about this months ago – if you're going to insist on "sticking to football" and want your favorite game to be a total escape from the real world, the Packers and the NFL, in 2020 at least, are not for you. Accept it or reject it, your choice.

Packers AppleTV app is great! Just watched the Steelers/Packers Super Bowl game. Can we draw any similarities to this year's roster for fun? That secondary was something else, not to mention our wide receiving group. If I had to make any comparisons, I'd suggest our secondary and edge rush. Thoughts?
This Packers team has a talented secondary and is better at the second safety spot than the '10 team, but that unit a decade ago had a HOFer (Woodson) and another one on that track (Collins). So there really isn't a comparison. The current team has more depth at edge rusher and loads more talent in the offensive backfield.

Mike, did you pop your collar for "Three Things"? Righteous!
If it was up, it was totally unintentional. Those shoots at the practice field are just grab-the-mike-and-go. They can be a hot mess sometimes, and I'm easily distracted by uncomfortable weather.

I love watching and listening to Larry, but after Monday's "Three Things" segment, I'm just a bit uneasy. He was picking on Mr. Spofford about the Brewers. Larry's an Illinois guy, even though he's lived a big part of his life in Green Bay...could he be a Cubs fan?
I doubt it. That's the first time I've ever heard Larry even mention the sport of baseball.
