Locked On Packers - Daily Podcast On The Green Bay Packers

The Hobart-Lawrence Police Department refused to release the evidence in the Josh Jacobs case, including video of the alleged altercation, which could prolong the NFL's punishment even more. That clouds the future of Jacobs, who either needs to be back soon, or it's possible he's played his final down as a Green Bay Packer. Plus, Lily Zhao joins us to talk BTA Bears game, preview the Cowboys and more.

The Green Bay Packers let their play do the talking on the field, but then had plenty to say about the chesty Chicago Bears and their arrogant head coach. THAT has to be the mindset every week, both in attitude and game approach. Plus, the dynamic receiver duo in Green Bay has been the best in the NFL, and what's next after Javon Hargrave tears his Achilles?

Matt LaFleur called his most aggressive game of the season, Jordan Love was absolutely dealing, and the Packers sent the NFC North rivals home with sore backsides in a TK-TK win in Week 5. We break down the revitalized offense, a stingy defense, and a special teams that can't get out of its own way.

Matt LaFleur wanted to chuck it deep; Jordan Love obliged with a gem, and the Packers defense played its best game of the season a week after losing Edgerrin Cooper. We are LIVE after the game, breaking it all down.

The Green Bay Packers have to figure out their offensive line issues in a hurry and Hall of Fame OT Joe Thomas says there's no substitute for reps and continuity. We go over the problems with Green Bay's front, some potential solutions, and Thomas explains why he doesn't think this is a problem with "bad" coaching.

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears renew the NFL’s oldest rivalry in Week 5 at Lambeau Field, but does the rivalry mean as much inside the Packers locker room as it appears to mean in Chicago?

The Green Bay Packers have a must-win game at home against the Chicago Bears, who come in red hot after two straight wins with backup quarterbacks. Lorin Cox from Locked on Bears joins us for Crossover Thursday discussing the Packers offensive line issues, backup QB play, critical matchups, and keys to victory.

The Green Bay Packers can't block, but that's no excuse for having the worst first-down offense in the NFL. Sure, they can't run, but that shouldn't stop them from firing on play-action. Plus Lily Zhao joins us to talk about Matt LaFleur's coaching, an uninspiring win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and we look ahead to a pivotal matchup with the Chicago Bears and Ben Johnson (who has pulled LaFleur's pants down).

With the Chicago Bears set to start Tyson Bagent on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, Matt LaFleur faces the prospect of losing the locker room if his team doesn't win. That makes it the biggest must-win game of his career. Plus, if he's so tough on his players and coaches, why aren't they tougher? And did the offensive line get fixed or what?

The Green Bay Packers survived a late push from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to get a 17-14 win. The offensive line looked much better, but mistakes still abound on the offense. Plus, a HUGE injury for the Packers defense puts a pall over the whole ordeal. We break it down LIVE on YouTube.

A win is a win, but it came at a cost for the Packers who lost Edgerrin Cooper for the season with an Achilles injury. Our Locked on Packers Squad Show breaks down the big picture stories, the turning point and hand out game balls as the Packers get back to .500 with a 17-14 win.

The Green Bay Packers HAVE to respond to one of the worst beatdowns at Lambeau Field this century. But how will they do it? What will this offensive line look like? Brandon Sneide from the Locked on Packers Squad Show joins us to look at those questions and more as Green Bay gets ready to face the desperate Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a must-win Week 4 tilt for both sides.

It's all offensive line all the time on a Friday News Dump ahead of Week 4. We answer your questions about heavy personnel groupings, the development plan for this offensive line and what the long-term outlook for the team is at that position.

It's been an ugly start for the Green Bay Packers offense, but there are reasons to be optimistic this team is on the verge of looking like the team we expected to see. Plus, how will that revamped offensive line look Sunday? And we dig into some of the mismatches Green Bay has in Tampa for Week 4.

The Green Bay Packers signed ANOTHER veteran, former Wisconsin Badger Kevin Zeitler. Against a desperate Tampa Bay Buccaneers team, the Pack will need all the help they can get. Peter Bukowski from Locked on Packers joins James Yarcho from Locked on Bucs to go over the biggest stories, key matchups, and more on a Crossover Thursday.

The Green Bay Packers have already signed two veterans (and recently cut a third), but adding Kevin Zeitler would be the best way to maximize those moves. Lily Zhao from Fox 6 in Milwaukee joins us to talk about that struggling offensive line, concerns about the defense, and helps us preview Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Green Bay Packers added former first-round pick Mekhi Becton to the practice squad, another veteran, and an admission the offensive coaching staff hasn't been getting it done. Plus, Green Bay has a recent model it can follow with its scuffling offensive line, and what it means that Micah Parsons won't practice this week.

The Green Bay Packers are making changes up front after a difficult 1-2 start, adding veteran offensive linemen Laken Tomlinson and Mekhi Becton ahead of Week 4.

For the second time in two weeks, the Packers are adding a veteran offensive lineman, this time long-time guard Laken Tomlinson. Between him and ex-Bengal Cordell Volson, Green Bay is hoping to go from "terrible" to "workable." Plus, the Pack gets some luck with QB injuries, and the offense has to get back to its identity.

The Green Bay Packers got STOMPED by the Atlanta Falcons 35-14. On a Sunday OT, Brandon Sneide and Peter Bukowski dig into three big questions facing the Pack after one of the most embarrassing performances in recent Lambeau Field history.

The Green Bay Packers had one of the worst games at Lambeau Field in decades, the offensive line is non-functional, and there's no reason to believe it will get better. Who is to blame? We answer that and more of your questions on a Friday News Dump.

The Green Bay Packers dropped to 1-2 after a stunning 35-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in their 2026 home opener at Lambeau Field.

In arguably the worst complete-game performance from the Green Bay Packers in the Jordan Love-Matt LaFleur era, the Atlanta Falcons STOMPED through the Lambeau opener 35-14. The run game was anemic. The defense couldn't tackle. Even the special teams threw in a bad play. We break down this bed-wetting performance live on YouTube.

The Atlanta Falcons have been brutalized by bad quarterback play and come to Lambeau Field with a preferred (?) starter back at QB. Will that be enough, or can the Green Bay Packers find some consistency of their own amid offensive line woes? Aaron Freeman and Peter Bukowski break it all down on a Crossover Thursday.

Zach Bako-Bewele will miss the rest of the regular season, and Aaron Banks may not play AGAIN. The Packers have replacements with pedigree, but it will require Jordan Love to be great to carry this offense. Lily Zhao from Fox 6 in Milwaukee joins us to discuss that and much more.

Forty-Eight hours after Green Bay’s overtime win over the Jets, Brandon Sneide, Jason Hirschhorn and Jacob Westendorf take a deeper look at what the victory actually tells us about the Packers.

The Green Bay Packers could be down a slew of starters and preferred backups for their Thursday Night matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. Luckily, they're going up against a defense that is facing enormous struggles of its own. Plus, what's the latest with Jayden Reed and what can the Packers do without him? And we know the Falcons starter will now be Michael Penix.

The special teams saved the Packers on Sunday with the offense struggling. Matt LaFleur was brutal, but the defense found a way to make big plays late and the special teams brought it home. We break it all down live after the game on YouTube.

The Green Bay Packers are finally back in the win column after a wild 20-17 overtime victory over the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.

The Green Bay Packers offensive line cost them a win in Week 1. For a Saturday Walkthrough, we dive into three big questions facing the team as they play the Jets in Week 2. How do they respond? What does this defense really have? And can the red zone offense get fixed?

The Packers seem to be getting healthier along the offensive line as they get set to take on the Jets. On a Friday News Dump we look at the latest issues with the OL from communication to personnel deployment. Plus, can the Green Bay run defense do enough to win? And more of YOUR questions.

The Green Bay Packers could look very different in Week 2 for the New York Jets, and it HAS to be better if they want to win. Plus, why the Packers pace could be their saving grace, and this defense has to win early downs, especially in the run game.

After a disastrous Week 1 collapse against Minnesota, the Green Bay Packers now face a critical response game on the road against the New York Jets.

After Brian Flores went crazy blitzing Jordan Love in Week 1, expect former Lions nemesis Aaron Glenn to bring the heat plenty in Week 2. John Butchko from Locked on Jets joins us for a Crossover Thursday to discuss the big storylines, break down the crucial matchups, and offer keys to victory for a near must-win for the Pack.

The Green Bay Packers couldn't run the ball in 2025 and can't so far in 2026, a major factor in their inability to close out games of late. Matt LaFleur and Jordan Love have to find a passing game that can make it work. Plus, Lily Zhao from Fox 6 in Milwaukee joins us for our lingering thoughts on what went wrong in Minnesota, the offensive line moving forward and more.

Nothing EVERYTHING went wrong for the Green Bay Packers in Week 1. We dig into some of the things that encouraged us about the first game of 2026, and explain why a lot of what happened on Sunday can be explained away as weirdness and outliers ... for now.

It's one of the most embarrassing losses of the Matt LaFleur era. Green Bay gave up 29 straight points in the second half and gave up a two-score lead to drop the openers against the Minnesota Vikings. This game lands squarely on the shoulders of Matt LaFleur. We dig into his mistakes, the offensive line decisions, Christian Watson and more.

The Green Bay Packers opened the 2026 season with a stunning 39-22 loss to the Minnesota Vikings after watching a 22-10 lead completely disappear at U.S. Bank Stadium.

It's a Saturday Walkthrough with Brandon Sneide breaking down the three biggest questions facing the Green Bay Packers in the Week 1 NFC North tilt with the Minnesota Vikings. We talk offensive line, pass rush, running backs and much more ahead of Sunday's season opener.

Tucker Kraft got his new deal done under the wire, breaking the record for the biggest signing bonus ever while not hitting the top of the market in annual value. We break down the deal, dissect this offensive core the Packers locked up this offseason, and wonder how this will affect the Green Bay Packers' finances moving forward.

Our Friday News Dump focuses on the offensive line where so many listener questions focused this week. Did Brian Gutekunst need to do more to help this group? Plus, is the NFC North REALLY that good? And do the Packers actually need a star RB to be a great offense?

Josh Jacobs moved up his court date to plead "no contest" to battery charges, putting the ball in the NFL's court to make a decision. Plus, the Packers get good injury news on two starting offensive linemen. And we're STILL waiting on Tucker Kraft's new deal.

The wait is finally over as the Green Bay Packers prepare to open the 2026 regular season against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The Packers offensive line, who will play and how well they fare against Brian Flores could determine the Week 1 outcome for Green Bay. Luke Braun from Locked on Vikings joins us for a Crossover Thursday to discuss the biggest storylines, key matchups and more.

No one in the NFL has more on the line narratively in 2026 than Jordan Love, good and bad. Plus, the Packers have a plan for the OL, they're just being extremely weird about it. And what is Brian Flores' plan for Green Bay's offense?

Matt LaFleur's said, "We'll see," about the availability of Zach Bako-Bewele and Aaron Banks for Week 1. That's a HUGE problem. Plus, why are other teams getting the benefit of the doubt not given to the Packers? And the special teams get their first chance to prove the preseason improvement is real.

Last year, the Green Bay Packers defense didn't generate enough turnovers, and the offense didn't score effectively when they did. That HAS to change in 2026. Plus, Harrison Smith returns as a key cog for the Minnesota Vikings, and Josh Jacobs' court date gets moved up. What does it mean?

The preseason is officially over, so how much has our outlook on the Green Bay Packers changed heading into the 2026 regular season?

Matt LaFleur said this week that Aaron Banks and Zach Bako-Bewele may not be able to play entire games yet, which helps us understand some of the bizarre offensive line shuffling that has gone on in training camp. Plus, the defense has to play as if nobody believes in them because, well ... no one does. Plus, why the uproar over fan videos is totally misguided.

We don't know how long Josh Jacobs will be on the Commissioner's Exempt List, but the list of players set to replace him if he misses games lacks any meaningful experience running the ball. What can we reasonably expect from that group? Plus, players are telling us they're coming to Green Bay to play with Jordan Love. Plus, the Packers find their QB3 after trading Kyle McCord.

Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst addressed Josh Jacobs landing on the Commissioner's Exempt List, saying they believe he will play for the Green Bay Packers in 2026. Plus, it's good news on the latest with Micah Parsons and Tucker Kraft will be full go Week 1, contract or no.

The Green Bay Packers brought back several players on the practice squad who may have to actually play for them early in the season. Plus, we dissect the potential outcomes of the Josh Jacobs situation and look back on a questionable-at-the-time decision to forego drafting a running back.

Josh Jacobs lands on the Commissioner's Exempt List just days after being charged in connection with an alleged Memorial Day altercation with a woman. Plus, the Packers make a slew of trades and get down to their final 53. We break it all down on a LIVE Locked on Packers.

There was plenty to like about the 2026 preseason for the Green Bay Packers. Brandon Sneide joins us for a Sunday OT to talk about special teams improvements, offensive line worries, and a lot more.

The Green Bay Packers closed out the preseason with a 42-38 preseason thrilling win over the Arizona Cardinals at Lambeau Field.

As end-of-the-roster players make their final bids for spots on the final 53, the Green Bay Packers' special teams thrived, as Cam Achord's impact has been apparent all preseason. Plus, we break down the players who helped and hurt themselves the most against the Arizona Cardinals in the preseason finale.

We're not sure about the future of Josh Jacobs, but if he could miss time, or even be off the team, how much does that change the Green Bay Packers' offensive approach? Plus, what's Barryn Sorrell's upside and more of your questions LIVE on a Friday News Dump.

Josh Jacobs has officially been charged in connection with an altercation with a woman back in May. On the show, we discuss the allegations as laid out by the prosecution and what they mean (and don't mean) for the NFL's disciplinary policies. We also discuss the terrific addition of Jonnu Smith to the tight end room.

Does this sound familiar: the Green Bay Packers got off to a roaring start against the Arizona Cardinals in joint practice, then struggled late. How big an issue is this? Alex Clancy from Locked on Cardinals joins us to talk about joint practice, storylines for this week and offer some names to watch for the preseason finale.

The Packers are nearing the end of training camp, but there are still some major questions to answer before the 53-man roster is finalized.

Joint practices against the Arizona Cardinals are the last chance for the Green Bay Packers to get a good look at their starters to decide crucial positional battles. Plus, Micah Parsons reiterates the Week 6 timeline for his ACL return and we have to talk about new uniforms.

Jonathan Gannon's defense has played extremely well throughout training camp, but is that a bigger positive sign for the Green Bay Packers defense, or a cause for concern for Jordan Love and the offense? Plus, Jacob Monk appears locked into the right guard job, and we've got camp fights!

The frontline starters are likely done for the preseason, and with that in mind, we take a shot at predicting the final 53-man roster. We dig into the offensive players who are likely to make the team, then the defense, and break down the players fighting for those last few roster spots.

It turns out, most of our preseason Week 1 overreactions are no longer overreactions after Week 2. Brandon Sneide from Locked on Packers Squad Show joins us to talk about a dominant win in Denver, what has carried over, and more.

The Green Bay Packers rolled into Denver and beat the Broncos 33-13 in Week 2 of the NFL preseason.

Jordan Love and the Packers offense carved up the Broncos first-team defense, plus the special teams soared and some key backups make have solidified their spots in a national TV matchup in Denver. We break it all down LIVE after the game.

Who should take the blame for the Packers' issue along the offensive line? How does GB stack up at certain positions around the league? Has LaFleur solved the defense already? And more of your questions.

There is one stat that will tell us how well the 2026 season went for the Green Bay Packers. We explain what it is and why it's so important as we answer an overflowing mailbox of questions on returning stars, evaluating position coaches, Keisean Nixon's future and more.

It's going to be best-on-best between two of the best teams in the NFL for a preseason tilt at Mile High. Sayre Bedinger from Locked on Broncos joins us for a preseason Crossover Thursday to discuss training camp storylines for both teams, players down the roster to watch and more.

Training camp is heating up, and the Packers have some major questions to sort through before the regular season.

Tucker Kraft and GM Brian Gutekunst are saying the right things about a new contract, but no deal is done. So, what's the issue? Plus, we look back on the 2025 Packers draft that looks very different right now. And don't sleep on Karl Brooks.

Aaron Banks entered training camp as a preferred starter, but beyond the competition with Jager Burton, it might be time for the Green Bay Packers to simply move on from their plans with him. Plus, what's the latest with the running back room amid Josh Jacobs uncertainty? And we dive into the Packers third-down super power (and they can use it on first down!).

The Green Bay Packers preseason opener may not have counted in the standings, but it certainly mattered, as Matt LaFleur is already making some tweaks to the roster. We dive into the fallout in the cornerback, offensive line, and safety rooms as Green Bay searches for the right combination for the 2026 regular season.

The Green Bay Packers got their butts kicked on the scoreboard in their first preseason game, so is it time to shut it all down for the 2026 season? Is Trey Smack heading to the Hall of Fame? Keisean Nixon getting traded? Brandon Sneide joins us for a Sunday OT to offer some wild overreactions (and some we kind of believe) following a 28-9 beatdown in Pittsburgh.

The Packers played a sloppy game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. We answer your questions about it LIVE on a Friday News Dump, talking offensive line questions, cornerback concerns and much more.

Not a lot of positives from the Green Bay Packers preseason opener, but rookie kicker Trey Smack may have offered all the silver lining the team needs. He balled out as Green Bay's offense otherwise struggled, and the defense gave up big plays in a sloppy loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the preseason opener.

The Packers opened the 2026 preseason in Pittsburgh as Brandon Sneide, Peter Bukowski, Jason Hirschhorn and Jacob Westendorf react to the 28-9 loss.

There are always fascinating storylines and players to watch in the preseason. We dig into the biggest ones, but also focus on some things NOT to worry about or hope to see in the opener. Plus, we give you three players with the most on the line against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Matt LaFleur says he's going to play his healthy starters (unless he changes his mind), and he's making the right call. We explain why. Plus, the Green Bay Packers Week 1 opponent names its starter, while the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears are dealing with key injuries.

The Green Bay Packers had one of their most "normal" drafts in the Brian Gutekunst era and, surprise, it's already producing for them. Plus, it's time to call Kevin Zeitler amid offensive line turmoil, and Matt LaFleur says Jordan Love is already better than Aaron Rodgers at one key thing.

Competition is suddenly everywhere as the Green Bay Packers gave Keisean Nixon and Anthony Belton reps with the second team (as well as the first team) on Sunday. This is both progress and reason for concern. Plus, Savion Williams flashes promise.

Family Night is our first chance to get a glimpse at the 2026 Green Bay Packers. Brandon Sneide joins us for a Sunday OT to offer some winners and losers from Family Night, as the young players in particular showed out.

Family Night is just practice, but it's a chance for the Green Bay Packers players to compete under the lights in front of tens of thousands. The cornerbacks, receivers and kicker in particular were under a microscope and they showed enough to get excited about what this team can be in 2026.

It's a Friday News Dump LIVE with your questions around running backs on the roster, UDFA's chances to make the team, bad lists, and Jordan Love says the quiet part out loud about the streamlined receiver room.

Micah Parsons says it's realistic to expect him back for the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6, but the Green Bay Packers are doing something unique: they're specifically saying they will have one version of the defense until Parsons comes back and another when he does. Plus, is the three-safety look really that novel for the Packers?

One week of Packers training camp is in the books, and the storylines are already heating up.

In The Athletic's QB Tiers survey, NFL coaches and front office people ranked Jordan Love as one of the 10 best quarterbacks in the NFL. Mike Sando joins us from The Athletic to talk about the evolution of the QB position, what has changed about Love, and what the league is saying about the other signal-callers in the NFC North.

Jeff Hafley backed off the pressure packages last season to let Micah Parsons cook. Early in training camp, new DC Jonathan Gannon has amped up the aggressiveness in sending extra rushers, and it's working! Plus, Green Bay keeps losing tight ends, and Matt LaFleur insists Matthew Golden won't be stuck in one role.

Jordan Love hints that Matthew Golden is playing the "X" receiver, which means taking over for Romeo Doubs (instead of Christian Watson) in the Packers offense. Plus, how the Packers will balance the dime trend with keeping their best players on the field, and Jonathan Gannon is going to get WEIRD.

We've seen a glimpse of the Green Bay Packers in training camp, but what do we want to see for the Packers to show they're Super Bowl-ready? Brandon Sneide joins us for a Sunday OT to break down three things to watch for during camp.

It's a Friday News Dump LIVE with your questions, starting with Tucker Kraft's return, Luke Musgrave's neck injury, Matt LaFleur's desire to go fast and many more from our Everydayer Club.

Keisean Nixon returned to practice Thursday, and what he found was a wide-open competition for the two starting cornerback spots. Plus, Matt LaFleur is already impressed with what Jonathan Gannon's defense is doing to confuse offenses before the snap. And featuring Tucker Kraft doesn't require anything about the offense to change.

Rookie Brandon Cisse is already running with the 1s in Green Bay Packers training camp because Keisean Nixon is hurt ... or is he holding in? Plus, injuries are already a big factor for the Packers as camp opens with at least one member of the offense dealing with a potentially serious injury. And Matt LaFleur gets ranked as a top-5 playcaller!

Packers training camp is officially underway, and Day 1 delivered plenty of storylines worth discussing.

Micah Parsons had ACL surgery in late December, making his return to the Packers most likely around mid-season. Would it be CRAZY for him to come back sooner? Plus, Trey Smack gets handed the Green Bay kicking job, and why don't we know the details on the Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur extensions yet?

Some key (and worrying) names landed on the Green Bay Packers PUP list ahead of training camp opening, but for the 2026 teams, the names NOT on the list are even more important than who is actually on it. Plus, did a defensive star trade target just shake loose for Brian Gutekunst to chase? And why the Packers not selling naming rights to Lambeau Field is a big deal.

Jonathan Gannon ran the defense the Philadelphia Eagles wanted him to run, but Gannon comes from a varied background and his Arizona Cardinals defenses were among the most unique in the NFL. Training Camp will finally tell us what he's planning. Plus, why the numbers prove Matt LaFleur's offense needs more no-huddle, and the mess of the Green Bay run blocking.

With a slew of extensions done this offseason and Tucker Kraft's looming, Brandon Sneide joins us for a Sunday OT to draft the best non-rookie contracts on the Green Bay Packers ahead of the 2026 season.
