four years ago the packers
uh... played the giants vets came into lambeau and they beat 'em to go to the
super bowl
uh... what are some of the reactions to not only that gaming in some of the
players holding onto that but jason pierre paul guaranteeing of victory
this weekend
what i'll do a couple guys yesterday in the locker room that played in that game
in two thousand seven the antigen beach of game kinda mixed reactions greg
jennings said yeah i remember that those are super bowl
we want to get some revenge that's not the right again
defensive lineman he said are really remember a thing about that game except
that it was cold
sorry for the guys there's about a dozen of them that play that game
it's kind of mixed over whether there's something about that as per jason pierre
paulo you know we ask mike mccarthy about that he said listen our team
expects to win two by expect to win
you set uses the packers are a little more buttoned up your legacy may come
out
an outright say we guarantee owen but i don't think that's the kind of thing
it's the play out so i don't think these guys lack motivation
it anyway
the green bay defense a lot of people may be aware a lot of people may not be
aware of this is not the best defense they have big names but statistically
they have given up some of the biggest yards that the n_f_l_ has seen a hundred
and levin rushing yards gain
three hundred passing yards a game they surrender that's the last in the n_f_l_
uh... and totally are being four hundred eleven
also less than the n_f_l_ why have they been
so bad on the defensive and justin
d_a_x_ of history to everybody because you're right you got claim at the z iron
all pro and charles woodson pro bowlers p_g_ raji guys like that
it wonder and and all of the guys who point to a lot of those here it's been
kind of garbage time when they pick up a lot or they've been up
several stores and teams just you you've got our redacted pass on the left from
city arts pile up and maybe some late points
but they didn't want to use their brown they've let teams like the giants hair a
couple weeks ago
e it's it's a mystery as to why i think it is attributed really the pass rush
they happened to getting the quarterback like they did last year of the reason
maybe without colin jenkins who left for the eagles i'm not exactly sure
but they have to get in the past but the ones that they'll point to end of the
ones that that's really taking him for being too
a terrible historically that defense 'cause the yards away i believe is that
at the record
it's true ceo leading the n_f_l_ interceptions
team record thirty-one turnovers for the season
so given up a lot of points in the arts but they've also thrown the ball over a
lot
subnet certainly going to be the playoff run but something they've been able to
kinda
used to balance out all those yards we're facing a very good at it very hot
offense with a legitimate quarterback in ely banning you can't even say that
he's passed peyton manning many would argue
uh... he has the weapons i mean he has a keen eighty as victor crew the as mario
manning and i mean ahmad bradshaw brandon jacobs can also be catch the
ball on the backfield how exactly for again giving up
the n_f_l_'s worst passing yards per game they face a lot of weapons there
how do you see them matching up and how do you see them possibly shutting down
those three receivers
i think it's a matter of getting the quarterback i think if you what you have
any setback their half-time clean pocket he's going to take part
any secondary in italy
i mean you got to my millions he got a healthy charles woodson and don't forget
he hasn't played
you meaningful snaps in three weeks and at charles woodson is that ricky morgan
stand-up throughout the year
seven three weeks out might be of more help anyone realizes to a guy like that
but it's really easy got it
get pressure on you like even if you're not paying them you gotta get the ball
out earlier
and give the defense of back some kind of chances if they're running around for
four five second chaser on those receivers it'll be a long day they won't
be
no one can keep up with that
so i think it's really the stopping the pass is really about that but for anyone
just a few more questions for you just said how do you see
obviously charles what's in the world's blitzen and a lot calling in on watson's
however
let's say hypothetically and which will happen for a majority of the game
he winds up against
well uh... it's really they use in canada as the swiss army knife but i'd
like you said he comes on blitz is a lot dot they have
during games where they've gone against italy receiver steve smith comes to mind
in carolina they've messed up charles woodson and had him
follow him all around the field so i think you're gonna see charles what to
do a variety of things
i think he's a guy who you might see a victor cruz a lot i think taking the
kids will get the term on william street where the two of them well spent a lot
of quality time together that's just my guest from on was not show up on calvin
johnson stock holding when they played the once thought to have so i think it
is a chocolate to drop the coverage i think you're going to see him
i'm kinda run businesses aren't stuck around i think this can go out to the
quarterback in
and keeping in three weeks although i wonder if you're gonna see a rejuvenated
charles woodson do again
at least seven interceptions this year has been having a pretty good year
all-pro you know injuries are not
obviously the uh... the tragic news with uh... till philbin son michael feldman
from an outsider's perspective been reading uh... green bay newspapers
seeing mike mccarthy getting choked up
uh... in press conferences it seems like it has hit this team very very hard
um... from an insider's perspective
how hard has it actually hit the fan
it's a really tough i mean
any football team is getting very close treat each other like family this team
is no exception and coach phil been very well-liked extremely well respected a
really nice guy from that very few times that i have
you've been able to talk soon without a microphone in my hand
it's that this team may regard our you're talking about yesterday yes it
was the first time
that we've been able to be in the locker room talk in a player's since the
tragedy people are really hit hard by the t_v_a_ rogers said his words were
you know i don't have the wards for coach phil right now i've never been to
a funeral this one
characters and also
often surviving teacher way lost his father last week the funerals on monday
so the off you know the the player's job as well it's you know it's it's a
tragedy and
how the team response indicates a look at the football impact to something like
that after such a a great tragedy but
mccarthy's *** yesterday is this the kind of thing your team can rally around
and his answer session was i hope so and heard a lot of guys yesterday saying
you know what they're not could fill bins in the boots and we don't know if
he's going to be in the booth quite yet up into the packers are not saying yet
whether or not he's in the booth we gotta play cards that were put forward
that's the best way top honor his son's memory
last question for you just in all buyers aside we ask you do you see the packers
winning this came by and large margin or do you see them
uh... dust getting by the giants or even do you see them losing at home once
again
here i i thought about a lot there seems to be a lot of hand-wringing you read
our online you hear on talk radio in the green bay people just is very worried
about the giants
i think mostly the packers are gonna win this game i think it's gonna be i'd
touchdown tie the game i think the line right now something like a points for
entertainment purposes only of course i think it's going to be
that that the thirty five twenty eight something in in that range
i think the packers often stands for
it's not going to be terrible weather outside i think the defense
maybe they can't shut down the giants but i think they make in a big plays
they've been known that to tighten up inside the red zone to limit the giants
not points i think the packers are able when they get the home crowd behind the
makes a noise on defense
i think they'll move on d_n_c_ championship game
