Packers Talk

Chris Lempesis is back after a nearly three-month hiatus to break down the news that Aaron Rodgers will be returning to Green Bay for (at least) the 2021 season. He wasn't surprised by this development and he explains why. As for whether or not he's excited...well, that's trickier to answer. He also predicts how this will all play out and answers some questions submitted via Twitter.

Training camp begins for the Packers on Wednesday, with rookies reporting TODAY! J.J. and Gil have some big questions they're hoping to find answers to in the next few weeks (obviously starting with QB1), including Joe Barry's defense, who emerges as the starting Star defender, the TE situation, and who the starting five will be along the offensive line. The guys also pick some young fresh faces to really stand out and impress during camp and earn a shot at making the roster. Gil's pick is WR Juwann Winfree, while J.J. likes CB Kabion Ento to flash.

Mandatory minicamp is over, and training camp doesn't begin for another 40 days, so now... we wait. J.J. and Gil don't take breaks though, instead they break down expectations for the Packers this year. From linebackers to running backs to the coaching staff, the guys highlight the team's strengths and weaknesses and figure out what their identity will be. They also debate which veteran player they feel is the most likely to lose his job this year to a younger player. Gil argues it's Preston Smith, J.J. thinks Hunter Bradley is more likely.

After a very successful minicamp that featured many players looking sharp and achieving new heights, Packer fans received disappointing news that TE Jace Sternberger has been suspended for the first 2 games of the season.

As OTAs finally began this week, potentially dark clouds swirled around Green Bay, Wisconsin as questions loomed about Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers potentially holding out.

Forget "strength of schedule", those rankings based on last year's win/loss columns are garbage and we all know it. Sharp Football provides better stats to help understand what truly makes a difficult schedule; Gil and J.J. dive into the numbers and break down exactly what the NFC North is facing this year. (Spoiler alert, it's a tough schedule.) They also pick apart a proposed compromise by Andrew Brandt between the Packers and Aaron Rodgers, could the hypothetical deal actually solve this broken marriage?

Although uncomfortable news broke surrounding Aaron Rodgers and his relationship with the Packers, the NFL Draft went ahead as scheduled and the Packers stayed put at pick 29 to select CB Eric Stokes, Georgia. Gil and J.J. give their thoughts on the pick and review his draft profile, but they also have to talk about Aaron Rodgers reportedly being so unhappy with the Packers he's refusing to play this fall. The Packers have some ground to make up in their relationship with the future Hall of Famer this off-season. In the meantime, what did you think of the Eric Stokes pick?

This week, Gil and J.J. work hard to bring you a Packers draft strategy heavily laden with later round value.

They also take a listener question and debate which NFL rule they'd change to make the game more enjoyable! And as might surprise no one, they both choose overtime as the area that needs the most fixing.
