Packers Q&A with Aaron Jones

Published by admin on Wed, 09/14/2022 - 8:00am

Q: What gives you confidence that the team will bounce back vs. Chicago?

A: Just knowing that the biggest jump comes from week one to week two in the league, and that’s probably one of the biggest jumps that you’ll see through the season. That’s with all teams. We know what it takes, we know it starts (with) the North and we’ve got another North opponent coming in, so we’ve got to handle business.

Q: Were you frustrated after getting only eight touches against the Vikings?

It’s finally time to hunt again

Published by admin on Tue, 09/13/2022 - 5:06pm

For as much joy I get out of preparing for the deer hunting season, I’m thrilled to say the preparation is over, and it’s time to hunt.

I’ve hunted deer since I was a little kid, tagging along with my dad and his friends before picking up a gun myself at age 12.

The extent of my deer hunting for a year — after I passed the youth hunt age restriction — was typically just the nine-day gun hunt in late November, with the occasional antlerless-only hunt sprinkled in should the first gun season have not gone as planned.

Offensive line an issue for Green Bay

After a 23-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the Green Bay Packers have their sights set on Chicago, as they host the divisional rival on Sept. 18.

During the game, Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson had a career day, recording 184 receiving yards and two touchdowns. While that does call for concern on the defensive side of the ball, another major problem for the Packers was on the offensive line.
