Note from San Antonio, TX

Based entirely on Dustin from KC, I believed “II” became the Roman numeral because there are two of you web hosting the dialogue board. Then I seen it stood for “Insider Inbox” and my tips became blown (it would now not rob famous). I peaceable affirm it “two” in what’s left of my head though.

It would now not rob famous, indeed.

Allen from Fairhope, AL

II: The QB2 runs the scout group throughout the season. Does that mean he and the scout group are speculated to know the Packers’ playbook completely AND learn some piece of a clear group’s playbook per week? THAT sounds fancy some psychological gymnastics!

Yup. Phase of the gig, and piece of how coaches learn the come famous positive gamers can contend with mentally.

Aaron from Brooklyn, NY

Yosh Nijman signed his RFA gentle. Does that mean he’s for clear advantage this season or is there peaceable a window that another group may perchance presumably perhaps perhaps additionally give him a proposal?

He’s advantage.

Jacob from Menomonie, WI

What’s in fact the most basically the most iconic Packers play/moment from the ’90s?

It must be the early TD sail to Rison in Gigantic Bowl XXXI and Favre running off the enviornment with his helmet raised within the air. Doesn’t it?

Zak from Huntington Coastline, CA

I’ve never unquestionably understood why the NFL utilized Thursday night video games. Would now not it create extra sense to love Saturday video games all season (rather then completely in Dec/Jan)? Attain you foresee a future by which the Thursday video games are replaced with season-prolonged Saturday night video games? The gamers’ union would address it from a safety perspective, and I include common sport earnings is increased on Saturdays than Thursdays anyway, so it seems fancy a gain/gain for all americans.

Now not for college football. The NFL has always been careful about that.

Steve from Flagstaff, AZ

Hiya II, staunch been concerned with the draft and it got me to ticket how loopy it would must were advantage within the day with out the total YouTube, social media, and all other movie stuff we like in at the present time’s age to salvage info on a prospect. How within the earth did the Packers scout all their greats in Jim Taylor, Ray Nitschke, Willie Wood, Forrest Gregg, and so forth.? I know the hype of the Golden Boy Paul Hornung. But being a GM at the present time ought to be more uncomplicated now when drafting a player (laughing too as this now not entirely true).

To respond to that keep a question to I will inform you to the rest Cliff has written on this web pages or in his franchise history anthology on Jack Vainisi.

Michael from Portland, OR

I appear to recall the Packers playing a preseason or exhibition sport in Portland come advantage when (’60s?) however cannot gain the rest on it. All I salvage in my search are Packer bars and I already know these. Any intel on the sport itself and prerequisites surrounding it? Any likelihood we are in a position to salvage them out here again?

Also for Cliff (however don’t protect your breath on an August focus on over with 65 years within the making). All I like at my fingertips within the Packers media info is that in Lombardi’s first season, Green Bay played a preseason sport against Philadelphia in Portland on Aug. 29, 1959, and the Packers received, Forty five-28.

Ian from Kirkwhelpington, UK

Mike, you suggested the Packers misplaced faith in Casey Hayward after two blunders in that sport. Aaron Ripkowski became a favorite of mine who looked to topple out of prefer and out of the league on the good thing about 1 fumble the build all he did faulty became are trying too laborious. What affirm you?

I create now not equate the 2 the least bit. The Packers’ offense became simply altering. They went from a receiver as the tip running advantage in 2016 to incorporating two draft picks in ’17 as integral pieces at the place, leaving fewer alternatives for a fullback to be an even bigger piece of the motion.

Aaron from Phoenix, AZ

Regarding gamers who got away, here’s a futile practice in what-ifs that easiest saps psychological and emotional vitality. Fancy with any relationship that staunch wasn’t as a lot as snuff in lifestyles, one day you staunch want to pass on. Both the player became too expensive and priced himself out of the Packers’ practical designate differ, or staunch didn’t assassinate successfully ample to advantage a contract. On occasion it takes a swap of surroundings for a player to attain his ability. On occasion it rains. Take into consideration that for a while.

No argument here.

Steve from Flagstaff, AZ

If dimension were the purpose Reynolds (had rush) failed as a prospect in ‘Ninety nine? What makes Will Anderson at 236 kilos most efficient in condominium off the edge, the build he’ll even be a rush rusher? He earned an 84.1 sail-rushing grade in ’22 and an 85.3 trace in ’21’ and Nolan Smith is a recent undersized edge-rusher who, at easiest 238 kilos, will even be a 3-down player. The truth is, he earned a 90-plus chase-protection grade all over the final two seasons. So-called cannot sail over possibilities in this draft in step with ESPN. Both are little, too!

Successfully, first off, Anderson is 250-plus, now not 236. But Reynolds became drafted to play defensive cease on a classic four-man entrance, now not line up as an edge rusher within the sub and hybrid fronts which would be so prevalent now. He simply didn’t just like the manufacture to attain that extra former role.

Julian from Gastonia, NC

Is it ridiculous to narrate that in all likelihood the Packers and the Jets like already agreed on the trade, however the NFL has requested them to relieve till the NFL Draft to in fact remark and finalize the deal? The aim would perceive that be to amplify the rankings and total festivities on such a large stage. Might perchance presumably perhaps such an device even be kept quiet till the draft?

I significantly doubt it. No, check that. I unequivocally, wholeheartedly doubt it.

Beno from Machesney Park, IL

When will there be novel alternative uniforms again?

The Packers like aged their present alternate uniforms for 2 seasons, so that they’ve three to pass with that glimpse sooner than they may be able to salvage another one.

Ummy from Two Rivers, WI

With the total hubbub about linebackers, defensive ends, and so forth., carrying single-digit uniform numbers, am I basically the most efficient one who thinks Zach Tom’s No. 50 seems out of place on the offensive line?

He’s the important Packers offensive lineman to wear No. 50 in a sport since backup heart Mike Arthur within the mid-’90s. Earlier to that, it became alternative player Vince Rafferty in ’87, and then or now not it’s far a must-want to pass advantage to the Lombardi technology (Bill Curry, Bob Hyland). In every other case, over the final 60 years, or now not it’s always been a linebacker number here.

Keith from Lincoln, IL

I became blessed to be in Green Bay final week and rob my main other and grandson on the Legendary Tour. So impressive to idea so famous within the good thing about the scenes. Two things taken aback me: that the guests’ locker room is now not on the enviornment stage and that the Lee Remmel Press Box is so large. It’s miles obvious the Packers dwell things in a top quality manner. What other NFC teams would you build within the Packers’ company with top quality facilities? Thank you.

I cannot yelp to every other group’s corpulent facilities, however I will affirm that in most stadiums constructed within the final twenty years, the clicking containers are seemingly to be now not now not as a lot as as large if now not bigger than Lambeau’s.

Gary from Lowell, MI

Persistence, will the Packers nation like it to portion the Fancy? I include Jordan Fancy shall be a true chief however he peaceable has things to gain out about pro ball. My hope is that followers be conscious Aaron Rodgers easiest received six video games his first year as a starter. Attain you suspect we would be gay if we salvage six wins out of Fancy’s first season at the helm?

I create now not narrate somebody would be “gay” with that, however it completely additionally is dependent on how he seems alongside the come. That acknowledged, even with Rodgers exhibiting somewhat a great deal of positive indicators, the 6-10 trace followed by a 4-4 start in ’09 had somewhat a great deal of wolves howling, and that became sooner than social media had change into completely embedded in our custom.

Matty from Durango, CO

With a kinda rookie QB I will guess that the Packers pick someplace between 5 and 15 subsequent year. The Jets with AR would with any luck be pondering subsequent year’s first-round pick may perchance presumably perhaps perhaps additionally be within the mid-20s to thirty 2d. Attain future trades rob into tale the seemingly finishes of the procuring and selling teams?

Now not officially, however obviously the Jets’ concern speaks in piece to why the Packers would somewhat salvage a pick or picks in this draft in place of the next one. But you never know. The Raiders supposedly took the Bears’ provide for Khalil Mack in 2018 rather then the Packers’ provide, figuring they’d salvage an even bigger 2019 first-round resolve from Chicago, and then the Bears received the division and the Packers were altering coaches. This league will even be comic that come.

Jonathan from Osceola Mills, PA

How seemingly are Packers to resolve a quarterback in this draft?

Very.

Sean from Vermontville, MI

Mornin’ fellas! Jalen Hurts got paid (and true for him!). He now accounts for about one-fourth of the Eagles’ wage cap. Attain you foresee a day the build the NFLPA or the league works to cap the every year designate of individual contracts? It staunch seems unsustainable to me that QBs will proceed to love this famous of the group’s cap hit every year.

It be now not going to swap. The union is infrequently going to restrict any particular member’s incomes vitality, and promotionally the league wants megastars with mega-contracts. Within the immortal words of Capt. Jack Ross, I cannot stop it anymore.

Chuck from Richfield, WI

In actuality loving Tailgate Tour coverage, your Prospect Primers and Cliff’s legacy series. The packers.com group, Bucks and Brewers are doing their piece to energize this snowy week. MLB’s pitch clock implementation is making video games so famous extra luscious than the 3½-hour slogs of the past. What would be basically the most attention-grabbing/most efficient swap that the NFL may perchance presumably perhaps perhaps additionally dwell to shave common sport cases to a pair hours? Rather extra Held’s brat grill time sooner than SNF never hurts!

The frequent is correct round three hours now, attributable to this truth why the league remains very hesitant to expand replay overview, which may perchance additionally lengthen video games. Reducing commercial breaks would unquestionably shorten video games, however again, that’s now not going down.

John from Stevens Point, WI

How severe is this draft to the futures of Coach LaFleur and GM Gutekunst?

I look what it’s most likely you’ll presumably perhaps perhaps presumably additionally be getting at, however focus on me, round here every draft is staunch as severe as the outdated or subsequent one. A true draft wants to create 2-3 mainstays, guys who variety into core gamers and solid contenders for 2d contracts. When that would now not happen, lifestyles in the end will get loads more difficult for all americans.

Ron from Broken Arrow, OK

Mike, with staunch over per week sooner than the draft, has the Packers’ draft board been build, or does that proceed into subsequent week?

I would accept as true with or now not it’s gorgeous famous build by now. The final few conferences may perchance presumably perhaps perhaps additionally create a tweak here or there, however barring some earth-shattering news that will get uncovered, the homework is performed.

Matt from Waterloo, IA

What’s the oddest Packers jersey you like ever considered a fan carrying? In 2008 I practically supplied a Brian Brohm jersey sooner than my brother talked me out of it. I cannot advantage however be gay I didn’t salvage it, however additionally wonder how enjoyable it may perchance perchance presumably perhaps perhaps were to wear at the present time and look how many folk would peaceable know who he became.

I saw somebody carrying a Harlan Huckleby jersey as soon as. Can’t be conscious when or the build, however I know I saw it.

JP from Colorado Springs, CO

Insiders: The Packers like too many wants to trade up or even presumably to prevent at No. 15 … Edge, TE, WR, S, QB, RB, OL. The Packers are seemingly to be now not one or two gamers away. With any luck, they may be able to gain a moving trade accomplice to work with. Granted, if the 2d coming of Lawrence Taylor, Jerry Rice , Bruce Smith or Barry Sanders is on hand at 15, then rob him (staunch create clear it’s most likely you’ll presumably perhaps perhaps presumably additionally be staunch on your overview, true :). In every other case, stockpile picks and take a look at to bear these wants. Thoughts?

You staunch described all the pieces that makes the draft so sharp and unpredictable. It be all about how the board seems within the moment, and no-one out of doors of that room is conscious of.

Ron from Mitchell, SD

As soon as all americans is conscious of, will all americans is conscious of, or will we staunch narrate all americans is conscious of?

Happy Wednesday.
