Smack That

Respectfully

Packers beat reporter Pete Dougherty joins the show to discuss Jacobs, as well as the rest of the running back room including MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

OTA-OK

The Green Bay Packers begin the next phase of their offseason program with OTAs, and it'll be open to the media Wednesday.  Marques previews OTAs, ranging from the free-agent signings like Javon Hargrave and Skyy Moore to their new linebacker Zaire Franklin, and a plethora of new coaches.  Andy Herman joins the show to discuss. Oh, and shoutout to MarShawn Lloyd, who is always fun to watch this time of year! See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Flight Plan

Malik Willis played a crucial role for the Packers over the past two seasons. Now that he's moved on to the Miami Dolphins, veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor could play a sneaky-important role in 2026.  Plus, the biggest question with the 2026 Packers remains the offensive line. (in Marques's opinion)  And, our Packers' Opponent Preview series continues with Zack Rosenblatt on the New York Jets, and D. Orlando Ledbetter on the Atlanta Falcons -- the Packers' opponents in Weeks 2 & 3 this season. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Tis the Season

The Green Bay Packers will open up the 2026 season September 13th in Minnesota, and they hope to finish their season February 14th, 2027 in Los Angeles in Super Bowl LXI.  With the first-ever NFL Game on Thanksgiving Eve, a Christmas Day showdown in Chicago, and seven total standalone games, the Packers' schedule is certainly unique. But overall, it looks pretty manageable on paper ... for whatever that's worth in the month of May.  Vikings beat reporter Andrew Krammer joins the show to talk about the Minnesota Vikings, as the Packers will open up the season against Kyler Murray & Co. in Week One.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
