    Packers O-Line Crisis Hits Emergency Mode & Can Veteran Help Save the Season?

    On Potawatomi Sportsbook Football Monday, the fallout continues from the Packers’ 35-14 loss to Atlanta at Lambeau Field. Green Bay was outgained 498-328, rushed for only 17 yards and watched Atlanta score 27 unanswered points as the game unraveled. The biggest concern is no longer one bad performance: the offensive line has become a weekly emergency that is affecting Jordan Love, the running game and the Packers’ ability to sustain anything offensively. Green Bay responded by adding veteran offensive linemen Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton. The guys break down what those additions realistically change, whether Tomlinson can provide an immediate answer inside and if Becton can eventually work his way from the practice squad into the lineup. Jason Wilde joins the show to discuss what the moves say about Green Bay’s confidence in its current group, whether Matt LaFleur has offered actual solutions and how concerned Packers fans should be about a 1-2 start. Plus, the defense gets put under the microscope after surrendering 242 rushing yards, the guys hand out their offensive and defensive report cards and debate whether Green Bay still looks like a playoff team. Then it’s on to Tampa Bay, where the Packers are expected to face undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels with Baker Mayfield sidelined. The matchup may look favorable on paper, but after what happened against Atlanta, Green Bay has to prove it can protect Love, establish a running game and physically control the line of scrimmage before anyone assumes a get-right game is coming.

    Packers Survive the Jets, O-Line Rebuild Is a MESS & Can LaFleur Fix the Penalties?

    On Potawatomi Sportsbook Football Monday, Alex Strouf fills in for Greg Matzek alongside Gary Ellerson after the Packers escape New York with a 20-17 overtime win. Green Bay finally snaps its six-game losing streak, but Gary and Strouf can’t ignore the historic lack of discipline: 26 accepted penalties for 231 yards through two games. Gary explains why those mistakes ultimately fall on the head coach and says the Packers have to get the problem under control before it starts costing them more games. The guys also dig into an offensive line that has essentially been rebuilt in front of everyone’s eyes. Jason Wilde joins the show with the latest on the injuries and explains why Green Bay could enter Thursday night with Jordan Morgan, Jagger Burton, Sean Rhyan, Jacob Monk and Anthony Belton as its starting five. Wilde questions some of the personnel decisions that created this situation and wonders whether Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst have always shared the same vision for the offense. Plus, Gary explains why Green Bay needs to lean on its defense and special teams while the offense searches for answers. Lukas Van Ness is coming off the best game of his career, Edgerrin Cooper continues to emerge in the middle and Evan Williams is making plays on the back end, all before Micah Parsons even returns. Then D. Orlando Ledbetter previews Thursday night’s home opener against Atlanta and what Michael Penix Jr., Bijan Robinson and former Packer Za’Darius Smith bring to Lambeau Field.
