Let Me Tell You Something: Why Did the Packers Choose Safe Over Savage?

Let Me Tell You Something: Why Did the Packers Choose Safe Over Savage?

Episode 7 Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description

Big Sal from Peshtigo is in his kitchen, there's a coffee stain on his shirt, and his wife just walked past without saying a word — and Pack Nation, that silence says everything. The Green Bay Packers did not tender Emanuel Wilson. They let the angriest, most physical back on the roster walk into free agency and turned around and signed Chris Brooks for two years. And Sal cannot let that stand.

  • Wilson posted 156 rushing yards after contact last season — not a statistic, a personality type — and the Packers handed him to the open market like a free sample
  • Chris Brooks is a fine human being and a solid special teams ace, but Sal breaks down exactly why "safe and consistent" is the wrong call when you're chasing January football
  • Big Sal's neighbor Gary, his friend Tomek from the paper mill, and yes — the Beer Cheese Benny / Joey Diaz situation — all make appearances in this one
  • The cold, hard prediction: Wilson signs cheap somewhere, runs for 600 yards, and the comments section will not be kind

Subscribe, leave a comment, tell Sal he's wrong if you think he is. That's why we're here. This is Packernet. This is Big Sal. Pack Nation forever.
