Jason Wilde

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly on the Yuengling Guest Hotline to talk about the questions surrounding the Packers' offense -- what's not to like about Tyrod Taylor as the new QB2, and which starting position is Jason most concerned about (on both offense & defense). Jason also gives his takeaways from finally getting Jonathan Gannon speak during yesterday's press conference, and he gives some more interesting highlights from the other assistant coaches who spoke today! Jason also talks about his Cinco De Mayo plans, the weirdest foods he's eaten while driving, and he power ranks the four "weird" members of Jim, Matt & Molly (and producer Primetime)!

Jason Wilde joins The Homer Hour and dives deep into the uncertainty surrounding Jonathan Gannon as the Packers’ defensive coordinator. Wilde pushes back on dismissing Gannon’s 29% head coaching record entirely, emphasizing that his limited coordinator experience makes him a legitimate unknown. The conversation centers on whether Gannon is simply a “gamble” or something more, with both sides agreeing his résumé lacks a clear track record. Wilde also critiques Gannon’s claim of not having a defensive scheme, calling it misleading while acknowledging modern coaching involves some level of adaptability. The discussion expands into a broader debate on whether NFL coaches adjust to players or force players into their system, using Matt LaFleur’s offensive evolution as a key example.

Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe and Chewy to react to the Packers’ coordinator availabilities, starting with Jonathan Gannon’s first public comments as defensive coordinator. Wilde explains why Gannon’s “no scheme” philosophy reflects the modern NFL, with the defense expected to shift week to week based on opponent and personnel.
The conversation turns to Gannon’s expectations for the cornerback room, especially the need for physical, willing tacklers. Wilde also weighs in on Adam Stenavich’s comments about offensive execution before breaking down the Packers’ decision to sign Tyrod Taylor, arguing the move shows Brian Gutekunst recognizes Green Bay needs proven veteran insurance behind Jordan Love in a Super Bowl-or-bust season.

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt, and Molly to give his thoughts on Chase Claypool, including lending credence to Jim's take on him potentially switching to TE, Trey Smack, and some of the other great stories from Packers Rookie Mini Camp!

Jen, Gabe, and Chewy dig into several Packers roster questions with Jason Wilde, starting with Green Bay’s decision to pick up Lukas Van Ness’s fifth-year option. Jason explains that the move is less about past production and more about projected upside, with the Packers betting that Van Ness can still grow into a much more impactful pass rusher. The crew compares that decision to past first-rounders, discusses why the price is still manageable at a premium position, and debates whether Van Ness is set up for a breakout now that Micah Parsons will draw so much attention on the other side.
The conversation also turns to the Packers’ edge depth overall, including how much confidence the team has in younger players like Baron Sorrell, Colin Oliver, Deny Dennis-Sutton, and Brenton Cox. Jason breaks down why Green Bay may view the fifth-year option as both an upside swing and an insurance policy while those younger rushers continue to develop.
Later in the hour, the group shifts to the running back room, with Jason weighing in on whether the Packers truly believe MarShawn Lloyd can be the answer behind Josh Jacobs. While Lloyd’s talent and explosiveness still intrigue the organization, his injury history makes it difficult to count on him. That leads to a broader conversation about whether Green Bay still needs to add another body for competition and how much trust they can realistically place in Lloyd, Chris Brooks, and the current depth options heading into camp.
