00:02 The problem for the Packers

00:04 is that they're not getting David Bakhtiari

00:06 back anytime soon because they announced

00:07 on game day Thursday, yesterday,

00:09 that he was going on the IR.

00:11 And there's rumors that he could miss the entire season.

00:14 So we're not sure when he's going to get back

00:16 his stud tackle.

00:17 And they were not able to keep that pass rush off of him.

00:22 And the key thing about,

00:24 like you could talk about the Green Bay Packers,

00:25 but this is true for a lot of teams in the NFL.

00:27 'Cause so many teams, the mindset is starting

00:30 these quarterbacks younger.

00:31 So you got a lot of young quarterbacks across the league.

00:34 And earlier today, I tweeted out, Scott,

00:36 the average, sorry, the total margin of points

00:39 that teams are up or down by at halftime.

00:42 And it's surprising how a lot of these teams

00:45 with the younger quarterbacks are falling

00:47 in such big deficits at halftime

00:50 that they really have no way

00:51 to dig themselves back out of it.

00:53 The key that a lot of these coaches of some teams

00:56 that have younger quarterbacks, less experienced quarterbacks

00:59 like Young or in Carolina, like Bryce Love,

01:03 like Jordan Love here in Green Bay,

01:05 and a variety of other teams around the league,

01:07 even teams like Daniel Jones with the New York Giants,

01:10 the Atlanta Falcons with Desmond Ritter.

01:12 These coaches, they don't want their quarterbacks

01:14 throwing the ball at time.

01:15 They know their quarterbacks don't have the experience

01:17 to read defenses.

01:18 They don't want them reading defenses all game long

01:20 and trying to figure it out.

01:22 So they try to support them by running the football.

01:24 But the problem is if you run the football

01:26 and you're getting stuffed

01:28 and you're giving the other team good field position

01:30 and they don't have to drive as far to score points,

01:32 and then they are scoring those points,

01:34 you are going to be down.

01:36 And everything that you wanted to do,

01:37 which is to limit my quarterback from having to pass the ball

01:40 now you can't do whatsoever

01:42 because you're down in the second half

01:43 and you have no option but to just sit back

01:45 and predictably pass the football.

01:47 So you really do need some of these teams

01:51 like Arthur Smith down in Atlanta

01:53 or like Matt LaFleur here in Green Bay.

01:55 They got to come up with some better,

01:57 I don't want to call it trick plays,

01:58 but scheme some things early in the game

02:00 in the great game script

02:02 to break off some big explosive plays.

02:04 Get some spark here to move the ball easier,

02:07 to make life easier on your quarterback

02:09 so that in the second half,

02:10 he's not dropping back to pass down double digits

02:12 in predictable situations.

02:15 - So yeah, I mean, he even said it after the game, Love.

02:18 He's like, "We start slow and it's just."
