Ah, the offseason is upon the Green Bay Packers,
football wise, as we join you Tuesday from outside Lambeau
Field,
kind of in between the storms.
There were some earlier today,
some coming later tonight. Right now,
all good though, and all good in Green Bay.
If you listen to Matt Lafleur,
you listen to the players in the locker.
We talked to them on Tuesday.
They're saying great attendance for this optional session and great
vibe for this optional session,
Madelfloe says. One of the best vibes he's ever been
around the players,
saying there's so much optimism based off what the team
did last season and going forward with their expectations for
this season.
Jordan Love should sign or could sign at least a
big new contract extension in this offseason.
His teammates have an awful lot of faith in him.
Loves play over the last eight or ten weeks of
last season really set this Packers team up for success
going forward.
It's a young team, it's a balanced team,
it's a confident team, and it's a team that's having
fun.
As you look at OTAs,
asking a couple of the guys in the locker room,
is this, is this actually fun?
Is this work? No, it's actually fun.
We're back together. These are our buddies.
These are our brothers. We're getting set for a big
football season that we think will go a long,
long time. Organized team activities.
That's what OTA stand for.
Every team in the league goes through this.
They're also optional team activities.
This is not mandatory. There will be a mandatory mini
camp in Green Bay in the second week of June.
Matt Lafleur letting us know on Tuesday that the Packers
will also have some joint practices coming up this preseason.
They will work in Denver against the Broncos and then
play the Broncos in preseason game #2.
Then they'll come home the week,
work during the week with the Ravens,
then play the Ravens in their preseason finale.
Then of course, they're headed to Brazil and then back
and embarking on a regular season again.
And then as the player said.
They hope a long postseason run after that interesting observer
on the sidelines on Tuesday at practice was Paul Christ,
the the former Badgers head football coach.
Been in the college game a long time.
He was just kind of standing there watching.
Matt Lafleur says he's a guest.
We're going to have a lot of guests through the
offseason workouts and training camp.
According to Leflore. Leflore, still recovering from his torn pectoral
muscle injury.
Zach Tom on the offensive line,
has a torn pectoral muscle injury.
Tucker Craft at tight end,
a torn pectoral muscle injury.
So. Just coincidence, according to all involved.
And it is that a strange coincidence.
That's it. From Green Bay Organized Team Activities,
Week #1, Media Day availability.
Number one in the books.
We'll do it all again next week outside Lambeau Field.
