Packers Talk

It seems like every year throughout the pre-draft process we naturally gravitate towards "OUR" guys. The guys we end up liking the most for one reason or another. We're diving into our list of OUR guys and digging into what makes them our guys.  Will OUR guys be part of the Packers' dream draft scenario?  What is the Packers dream draft scenario anyway? Enjoy the luxury of this being a tough quest...

Draft Day is right around the corner for the Green Bay Packers! We discuss what the Packers Draft Day, and weekend needs, for the Packers should and could be in a few weeks. We also dish out grades for the Packers coordinators, head coach, and give out a few honorable mentions for some well-deserving assistants from the 2023 season. Plus...baseball season is here...you'll be surprised to hear what...

The most debated position among Packers fans right now might be the Safety position. There isn't a consensus top Safety in the draft. Some of the early favorites tested poorly and their perceived draft stock suffered accordingly. So who is the top Safety prospect in this draft class for the Packers?  Don't sleep on day-3 of the NFL Draft, especially at WR and CB. There will be impact players taken...

The Green Bay Packers have signed kicker Greg Joseph to compete with Anders Carlson for the job. We discuss what this means for Carlson and the Packers. We also discuss the negotiations between the Packers and the city of Green Bay on a new lease and the problems being encountered and we grade each wide receiver on the team from 2023, how well did they do and what are their prospects for 2024 and...

Chris and Dave know that Packers fans wouldn't be able to sleep without hearing their takes on the signings of Josh Jacobs and Xavier McKinney, the new kick-off rule, the potential of the Packers playing in Brazil, and Chris' setting on his new Sleep Number Bed. Indeed, there is no off-season for Packers fans! Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/packerstherapy PayPal:  Packerstherapy@yahoo.com Posti...

Whether you agree that the "hip-drop" tackle is dangerous or not, this ban just gave the refs exponentially more power to control the outcome of games. In a time where some games are borderline unwatchable because of the officiating, we need to equip the refs to be better, not worse. There is absolutely an argument to be made that the players need to be better trained how to tackle, and there is a...

The Green Bay Packers still have some needs to fill and co-hosts Sean Tehan and Gil Martin discuss where the team needs a boost and some of the remaining available players that could fill those needs like linebacker and safety. We also have our grades for the Packers 2023 offensive backfield which includes A.J. Dillon, Aaron Jones and of course, Jordan Love. How did these guys fare and what is the...

After making a big splash in day-1 of free agency the Packers have cooled off on the open market in favor of re-signing some of their own guys. AJ Dillon was probably the biggest surprise, adding experience and depth to the RB room that is likely to have at least one rookie.  On his way out, De'Vondre Campbell stirs up Packers fans on twitter with his explanation of why he didn't play better in 20...

The Green Bay Packers were very active in the first week of free agency, signing safety Xavier McKinney and running back Josh Jacobs. But, they also said goodbye to some long-time and special players like Aaron Jones, David Bakhtiari and De'Vondre Campbell. We break down all the moves made by GM Brian Gutekunst and what the team's remaining needs are. All this and more on this week's podcast with...

Chris Lempesis is back to break down an absolutely wild first few days of free agency for the Green Bay Packers. He talks about the signings of safety Xavier McKinney and running back Josh Jacobs before discussing Green Bay releasing running back Aaron Jones and tackle David Bakhtiari. He then moves on to discuss the players who departed Green Bay for new teams before talking about the ones who th...

The Green Bay Packers entered the FA season, not with their usual quiet, but with a bang! Saying farewell to longtime Packer greats Aaron Jones, David Bahktiari, and DeVondre Campbell (not totally unexpected), Brian Gutekunst swung for the fences and brought in the top free agent running back AND safety. How will the offense fare with Josh Jacobs at running back? Is safety still a draft target now...

Gute woke up on March 11, 2024 and chose violence. We shouldn't be surprised by anything at this point. One thing you cannot argue with, Gute is not afraid to make any move. Like it or not, he's usually right when he makes these difficult decisions.  While two all-time greats exit Lambeau, the Packers just added two young playmaking leaders on the offense and defense - Josh Jacobs and Xavier McKin...

The NFL Scouting Combine is over and we discuss how the Packers viewed some players at their key positions of need. Will they fit in with Brian Gutekunst's preferences? We also discuss some free agent safeties and running backs who the team may be interested in and who could help the team. And we break down and grade the Packers tight ends from 2023? How did this young TE room with Tucker Kraft an...

Green Bay Packers GM Brian Gutekunst addressed the media at the NFL Scouting Combine and we discuss many of the surprising things he said including a possible decision on David Bakhtiari's future, the development of quarterbacks and his approach to the safety position. We also break down how the Packers did in the NFLPA's anonymous survey which broke down the way the organization works in many cat...

No doubt one of the stars of the show this year was Xavier Worthy, breaking the record for the fastest 40-yard time. Worthy was one of two WRs that met with the Packers at the Combine. The other was his Longhorn teammate Adonai Mitchell. Combine meetings don't necessarily mean a whole lot, but it's not nothing.  We'll go through a list of guys that got our attention at the Combine, and who we thin...

Chris Lempesis is back with part four, the final installment, of his series examining the season that was for the Green Bay Packers, and also taking a look at the offseason that lies ahead. In this edition, he takes a look at the back end of Green Bay's defense, the corners and safeties, and the special teams, as well. Who are some players the Packers could be looking to add to the secondary, eith...

If you can win a press conference, Hafley won his first press conference as the Packers DC. There was a lot of emphasis on players being able to react and play without thinking too much. It will be very interesting to see which positions they prioritize in the draft to fill out the skillsets Haffley is looking for but may not have on the roster yet. Might we see a similar draft strategy to what Te...

New Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley met with the media Thursday for the first time since taking the job. We have our first impressions. Plus, we grade the players on the offensive line. How did Elgotn Jenkins, Zach Tom, Josh Myers and company do this season? We take a deep dive into their performances. All this and more on this week's podcast with Sean Tehan and Gil Martin. On...

Chris Lempesis is back with part three of his four-part series examining the season that was for the Green Bay Packers, and also taking a look at the offseason that lies ahead. In this edition, he moves over to the defensive side of the ball to examine the play of Green Bay's front seven. With the Packers likely shifting to a 4-3 scheme, what will the new-look defensive line look like? And who wil...

The final (critical) piece to the 2024 Packers coaching staff has been added. Introducing new Strength and Conditioning Coach, Aaron Hill. Formerly Assistant S&C coach for the 49ers, Hill takes on the responsibility of keeping the hamstrings strong in Green Bay. He's been part of the team that has kept CMC healthy/strong after his string of injury issues with the Panthers. A player familiar to Pac...

Chris Lempesis is back with part two of his four-part series examining the season that was for the Green Bay Packers, and also taking a look at the offseason that lies ahead. In this edition, he examines the play of Green Bay's wide receivers, tight ends and offensive line. Should the Packers add another receiver in the draft? Just how good can their tight end group be? What will Green Bay do with...

Chris and Dave put a (poorly tied) bow on the 2023 season. Besides looking back and looking ahead, the fellas talk about the Super Bowl, the hiring of Jeff Hafley, the Packers needs in the draft, play a little "Keep or Dump," and do a recap of the betting lines for the past season. A jolly time was had by all! Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/packerstherapy PayPal:  Packerstherapy@yahoo.com Posti...

This week, we break down and grade the performance of every player along the Green Bay Packers defensive line. How did Kenny Clark, T.J. Slaton, Devonte Wyatt do? How about rookies Colby Wooden and Karl Brooks? We break it all down for you. We also discuss the election of two former Packers players to the Pro Football HOF Class of 2024 with Julius Peppers and Steve McMichael earning the honors.. A...

Shanahan comes up short again, and just like that we're in the offseason. No real football until September. Tis the season of too many mock drafts, and overhyped offseason workout videos.  We're here with you through it all.  We're breaking down the draft prospects position-by-position leading up to the draft. Starting with Edge Rushers / OLB and OT day-1 potential fits at 25. We are going to give...
