00:00Let's start with the Green Bay Packers here, Dubsy, because this is one of those football

00:06teams a lot of people are high on, and rightfully so.

00:09You love the way the Green Bay Packers played the second half of the season last year.

00:12Why?

00:13Because Jordan Love certainly looks like he is going to be your franchise guy for the

00:17next 10 to 15 years.

00:18He was paid accordingly, and a lot of high hopes.

00:21The Philadelphia Eagles took on the Green Bay Packers in Brazil in a hard-fought loss

00:26But the biggest loss was the second-to-last play of the game, where you saw Jordan Love

00:30in the pocket, get twisted around, bang up his knee, he'll be out for multiple weeks

00:35at the least here.

00:36Now that, you say, could be devastating to the Green Bay Packers, and who will be their

00:40backup quarterback who's going to step into the fold?

00:43And I don't have a lot of excitement here from either Green Bay Packers or people looking

00:47to back Green Bay right now, because that is Malik Willis.

00:50And you take a look at Malik Willis on his seasons that he's played in the NFL, a lot

00:54of hype.

00:55It was almost thought at one time, Dubsy, he was going to be a top-five draft pick in

00:58the NFL, slips to the third round.

01:00He's had three starts, 350 total yards passing, 144 rush yards, one total touchdown, and three

01:07interceptions.

01:09Let's just start here first.

01:11Devastating injury to Jordan Love, but how do we feel about Malik Willis coming in to

01:14fill in, and can he sort of tread water until we get their starting quarterback Jordan Love

01:20back?

01:21Yeah, look, not great news, but not as bad as it potentially could have been there for

01:26the Green Bay Packers.

01:27The youngest team in the NFL, Jordan Love, he's going to get things together.

01:31If it's three to six weeks, well, the season's not out the window.

01:34I think the Green Bay Packers, alongside the Ravens, probably the best losers from week

01:39one.

01:40So I'm not losing a lot of stock here.

01:41Now for me, Malik Willis, we know the style of play.

01:44He's a dual-threat quarterback.

01:46How high is the ceiling?

01:47It's not high, Donnie.

01:48The expectation is not great for Malik Willis coming in here, but some of the other weapons

01:53that really shine there, I mean, Reid was fantastic for the Packers.

01:56Josh Jacobs, maybe they can lean on him to set the table.

01:59And you look at the schedule, they're going to be at home for this weekend taking on the

02:03Indianapolis Colts.

02:04I'm really not massive for what we did see there in week one.

02:07So maybe with a couple of these other complementary offensive weapons, Malik Willis can just funnel

02:13this offense and maybe try and grind out a couple of wins.

02:16But I'll tell you what, he's only been in the building for, I believe, the last two

02:19to three weeks.

02:20So really doesn't have a great grasp on this offense there either, Donnie.

02:24So a little concerning for you Packer fans, especially on that betting side of things.

02:28They're now grabbing three at home with a line open at three at home there.

02:32But yeah, not good signs in Green Bay, but it could have been a lot worse.

02:36Jordan Love, if he can get back within three, four weeks, still absolutely love what I'm

02:40seeing from Green Bay.
