Of all players to go the “wahh don’t boo us maybe cheering would help” route..
Tucker Kraft on the fans booing: "That's pretty tough. Like everyone pictures Lambeau Field and not boos. I don't picture boos. I picture my home stadium. That's tough. It's pretty disappointing, especially for a home opener. It's pretty disappointing. It's not going to help us win. Like I don't know what people think that's going to rally us or something like that. But that's -- we're grown men. We're mentally strong enough, capable enough to get back on the field and play ball. But it'd probably much easier with the 70,000 people behind us rather than opposing us."
I think I’ve gotten my lifetime fill of losing in ways that no team in NFL history has done before and that’s happened in the last two games
My King
Tucker Kraft: "I wanna play for this organization my entire career. I'm spoiled to have been drafted here and this is all I know. Green and gold is all I know, so we'd like to keep it that way and my agent and the Packers' front office, they're gonna be in those talks in time when it comes. You guys will find out eventually."
Packers assistant head coach/special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia is stepping down, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo.
Bisaccia, 65, had been with Green Bay since 2022. Now, weeks after replacing DC Jeff Hafley, Matt LaFleur needs a new special teams coordinator too.
Just not necessary to ruin my day in February - I would say they did it enough during the season.
🧀 Here’s the Paraphrased/TLDR version of the Brian Gutekunst end of season press conference:
- Disappointed and clearly upset about last year.
- Championships are the goal and wants 2026’s focus to be on “finishing games” to help that.
- Injuries aren’t an excuse for him. Thinks they had what they needed to still get it done even after injuries.
- Has a lot of faith in Rich + Special teams (Believes there’s been a lot of investment and return there) went on to add, he thinks they’ve been better on Special teams than they have been in a long time.
Raved about Rich and his staff and the culture he brings.
- Feels like they have a lot of flexibility in free agency.
- Took "a risk" with Hobbs and Banks and it “didn’t work out”, but thinks they can swing again this year.
- Expects everyone under contract to be back. Including Hobbs, Banks, and Gary… but always evaluating the roster. Said all three of them have things to work on.
- Wants OL to be versatile more than anything. “Doesn’t really care” if guys think they’re better at certain spots.
- They need to “move around” and “perform at a high level.”
- Already let Tucker Kraft and his camp know they want him here long term.
- Excited about Golden in year 2.
- Says Jordan Love played “Some of his best football down the stretch” and called him an “unbelievable leader for our team”.
- Feels Josh Jacobs has “a lot of good years left” and is very important to the team.
- Wants Malik Willis back but knows he’ll likely go get a starting job somewhere.
- Has no problem with adding vets.
- Doesn’t expect Zach Tom’s late 25 season injury to impact next season.
- Felt like international travel for games is/was “Awful”, but wants to shift the team mindset to “accepting it” and “becoming really good at it.”
- Doesn’t feel like they need wholesale changes but wants depth at corner.
- Will have a kicking competition but not because he thinks McManus needs to go. Kept talking about him making 32 kicks in a row before the CHI game.
