RBs get loaded boxes. WRs and pass rushers get doubled up. CBs rarely see the ball come their way. Such is life for the best who still find ways to impact the game. Do people not understand players like Xavier McKinney impact the game just by being on the field (and taking away the middle)?
It’s the old Christopher Walken lion speech from “Poolhall Junkies.” There’s a lot of hyenas and jackals nipping at McKinney’s toes right now and getting comfortable in the lion’s domain. I gotta feeling we’re close to seeing No. 29 rip some QBs apart. Just give him that chance.

With the concern over the run defense, and seeing T.J. Slaton is in town anyway, can we find one of his old uniforms and borrow him for the day?
Slaton is off to a nice start for the Bengals with nine tackles and three quarterback hits, which already ties his career high set last season. I thought that was a smart signing for Cincy and he’s been one of their better defensive players.

What’s your take on when Christian Watson will be back on the field playing on a high level? Like what percentage do you think he’s at right now to come back healthy?
I couldn’t tell ya. I tried to attach a “Wes GPS” to Watson, but he ran away. Matt LaFleur said he looked “pretty damn good” this week, so I assume he’s getting close.
No question, just happy to see Jon Runyan in last night’s game. Good guy.
If you need any further proof it’s a week-to-week league, look no further than the Giants vs. Eagles game. How ’bout them Eagles?
Maybe they should’ve tush-pushed more.

While watching the Eagles do four straight “tush-push” plays to get in the end zone I find myself in a conundrum. I absolutely hate this play, yet have to acknowledge it works. However, on the replay, you clearly see the guards jump early. I don’t believe in an all-out ban but what if teams are permitted to challenge false starts on that play alone? To me, it’s the league not banning the play but forcing the team using it to be precise to a T.
I’m shocked the officials didn’t catch the false start. Speechless.
A new president and a concert scheduled for 2026 in Lambeau Field. Can we expect to see a yearly concert with Mr. Policy in charge?
I’ll let Ed handle the vision for the future in his next “Policy’s Perspective,” but the Packers’ goal is always to bring one big event to Lambeau each year. Obviously, the NFL Draft took centerstage in April. Next year, we not only get Luke Combs in May but also Wisconsin-Notre Dame in September. It’s lined up to be a great 2026.
I suppose that in your chosen profession you have met many famous people and are fairly accustomed to it by now. Is there someone in particular that you remember being particularly starstruck with when you met them? How did it happen?
I turned into the biggest fanboy you’ve ever seen when Megan Olivi was a sideline reporter for Packers-Jaguars last year. She was kind enough to take a photo and chop it up with me about UFC.
Maybe it’s the Philly in me, and no offense to any who have posted having bad experiences at away games, but I feel that you should expect to have some home team fans give you trouble when you’re an opposing fan. That’s the home team’s job. It’s home-field advantage. The crowd plays a huge role in that. As a fan it’s your job to cheer, be as loud as you can, and give the other team a hard time. You’re not there just to quietly watch the game and make sure the other team’s fans feel welcome.
Maybe it’s the Green Bay in me, but I think you can do one (cheer your team as loud as you can) without the other (giving the other team’s fans a hard time). Our society seems to struggle with that whether it’s football or daily life.
