Mr. Nerdmann,
While I greatly appreciate the effort, videos of guys speaking into the camera for 20 minutes without video is relatively worthless to me. If someone is doing a video, then show some game video for goodness sakes.
If all they are going to do is talk, they should simply use talk to text and put their comment in writing. We could read their thoughts in about 20% of the time it takes to listen.
Perhaps something more along the lines of this article https://packerswire.usatoday.com/lists/highlighting-3-impressive-plays-from-jordan-loves-td-drive-vs-patriots/

Green Bay Packers vs New England Patriots FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS -I've been done with Myers at C since Family Night and yet the team looks determined to give him as many chances as possible. Yeah Love might have not been entirely ready but it seems like botched snaps happen with Myers regardless of whos QB and in game or not.
-The starting OT pair played really well. ZT was a brick wall once again while Rasheed Walker seems to be zooming up the depth chart and earning coaches trust. Walker playing well is also beneficial as Green Bay will likely part ways with Bakh+Nijman next offseason.
-Whalen had two punts on the night to O'Donnell's one. Both of Whalens punts came while GB was around midfield which suggests they wanted to see him work on getting the ball inside the 20 (which he did both times). I wouldn't be surprised if they stash Whalen on the PS this year and move on from O'Donnell after the season.
-Toure took some PRs this game. Despite glowing reviews (many of which were unprompted) this offseason from the coaching staff, Toure hasn't played with the #1s much this preseason and has seemingly taken a backseat to new guys Heath and DuBose even after playing well with the #2s last week vs Cincinnati.
-Hell of a play by Doubs on the sideline catch
-One area of concern for Love is his deepball. Still getting a lot of air under them.
-On the other hand, Love had some absolute darts this game
-Dillon with another week of decisive, north-south running
-LVN played better this week I think. Always moving towards the ball and he can move pretty well for his size. Can see how raw he is, so he's gonna have to get by this year on scripted stunts and hustle/2nd effort plays.
-Engarbare with a hell of a night. With a healthy Gary, Enagbare looking like a killer depth Edge guy. Credit to Gutey for pouring some serious resources into the OLB/Edge position since he took over.
-Emanuel Wilson with another solid week of running and showing off some pass catching. If the coaches think they can work on his pass pro and ST, then he's gonna be hard cut. Runs with speed and a little bit of power and just looks like a NFL RB.
-In a similar vein, it's gonna be hard to keep Malik Heath off the roster. Between making catches, throwing blocks and ST, I think Heath is gonna be the #6 WR.
-#2 Oline played pretty well overall. Rhyan seemed to be moving guys well in the run game and neither Newman or Hanson looked terrible.
-If anyone says that Clifford should be starting over Love after this game, then they clearly didn't watch the game. While Clifford showed his upside last week, this week showed the opposite. While he threw no INTs, a lot of his passes were leading guys into traffic and/or going up high with defenders around for a hit. I'd rather our young and promising WR room not end up in the hospital.
-Alex McGough didn't play at all, most likely signaling the beginning of the end of his tenure on the roster.
-Carrington Valentine had a real up and down night. Called for some penalties and gave up some big catches but also had some sticky coverage.
-Shemar Jones-Charles probably played his way off the roster. Multiple penalties and hasn't shown much the past couple of years
-Another game of Colby Wooden and Karl Brooks living in the backfield.
-Another game of heavy stunt usage with guys like Wooden, Brooks, LVN etc.
-Anthony Johnson played better this week compared to his game vs Cincinnati and logged a decent number of snaps on ST which has him trending up on the roster.
-Carlson absolutely crushed his FG attempt. Had the distance with plenty to spare.
-Cox seemed like he was always around or in the QBs face
-I think GB carries 6 OLB on the roster this year. I don't think they can risk trying to sneak Cox onto the PS. Maybe Hollins gets cut when Gary is fully healthy.
-Newman and Rhyan came in at LG and RG respectively before switching at some point. Probably only one roster spot for the two of them.
-Sucks that the game ended the way it did. I wanted to see them put it into the end zone so the young guys could get some end game situational snaps in (get a score, get a defensive stop and run the clock out on offense) but I agree with the stoppage.
