713 - Veterans Powering the Packers' Turnaround
The Green Bay Packers have been on an impressive turnaround recently, and while all eyes have been on quarterback Jordan Love, there's more to the team's success than just this performance
The Packers' improved pass rush (1:41)
One area where the Packers' defense has shown significant improvement is in their pass rush. This often underrated aspect of the Packers' performance has played a crucial role in the team's recent success. With multiple players recording high pressure rates and increased productivity in terms of sacks and tackles for loss, the Packers' pass rush is becoming a formidable force.
Solid performances by veterans buoying the Packers’ young players (12:19)
As much as the focus has been on the young players on the team, the veterans have not gone unnoticed. Players like Kenny Clark, Preston Smith, Elgton Jenkins, and more have elevated their game and made significant contributions in recent weeks. Their improved performances have positively impacted the overall effort and have played a vital role in the Packers' resurgence.
The ascendance of Jordan Love (20:03)
The ongoing question surrounding Jordan Love is whether he can perform at a level that justifies a long-term commitment from the Packers. While the bar for success is undeniably high, Love's recent numbers and trends indicate promising signs. His adjusted net yards per attempt, one of the key metrics for evaluating quarterbacks, shows an upward trend and compares favorably to Aaron Rodgers' early career numbers. Although much remains to be seen, Love's trajectory is encouraging.
