Jason Wilde

Jason Wilde joins Molly & Jim! He weighs in on bands that are past their prime, Wisconsin vs Notre Dame predictions, why Packers fans shouldn't be concerned about Tucker Kraft's contract situation and much more!

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy with the latest from Packers training camp after a heated practice featured multiple players getting involved in a fight. Wilde explains what he’s seen from Anthony Belton and the offensive line while discussing a rough practice for Jordan Love and the Packers offense. He also evaluates Marshawn Lloyd’s progress and the strong camps from Kyle McCord and kicker Trey Smack. Plus, Wilde breaks down Green Bay’s long-snapper situation and why the holder remains such an important part of the field-goal operation. He also revisits what Matt LaFleur revealed about Aaron Rodgers’ frustration with the Packers’ 2019 joint practices.

Jason Wilde joins Ben and Homer to discuss Tucker Kraft practicing while he still waits on a long-term contract from the Packers. Wilde says Kraft is doing and saying all the right things, but the risk is real enough that he would understand Kraft limiting his work until the deal is finished. He believes the contract still gets done before the opener, possibly even before the Cardinals joint practice. Wilde also digs into Kraft’s relationship with Zaire Franklin, saying the two competitive personalities may have used their practice barking to help give the team more edge. He then explains why Jordan Love’s quiet, careful public style may be boring, but it is also authentic and respected inside the Packers locker room.

Jason Wilde joins Homer and Bryan Bulaga to discuss how the Packers should handle preseason playing time before their matchup with the Broncos. Wilde says he expects most starters to play, but questions whether key players like Zach Tom and Tucker Kraft should be exposed to unnecessary risk. He and Bulaga debate whether Aaron Banks should play after returning to team periods, with Bulaga saying Banks needs reps if he is healthy enough because he has missed so much time. Wilde also pushes back on Matt LaFleur skipping more joint practices, arguing that Denver would have been a valuable test for Green Bay’s offense and defense. The segment closes with Wilde and Bulaga agreeing that Jordan Love’s best improvement would be staying healthy for all 17 games, even though Homer insists Love is already good enough if the rest of the team elevates around him.

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy to explain why Marshawn Lloyd should receive a much bigger workload in the Packers’ next preseason game. Wilde discusses the uncertainty surrounding Josh Jacobs and why Green Bay would like clarity on his situation before the regular season begins. He breaks down an offensive line that entered training camp with questions at every position and may have somehow created even more of them. Wilde also assesses Savion Williams and the Packers’ receiver competition before explaining Green Bay’s new “Protect Our Plays” approach to limiting filming at practice.
