Inbox: There’s only one answer

Jason from New Hampton, IA

Hey II, what’s been the best part of the season for you so far?

Seeing how 2021 will end compared to how everything began. Narratives come and go but legacy lasts forever. I think everyone in the Packers organization understood how important it was for this team to stick together…and it did.

I watched a recent Yosh Nijman interview and I hope he’s a longtime Packer but understand he deserves a chance to get paid and start. Who is a Packers player in recent memory you saw leave and were disappointed but fully understood the situation? For me, it’s Micah Hyde. I will forever be his fan.

As far as established players go, it’s probably a tie between Micah and Casey Hayward. They’re both unanimous first-team all-human beings.

Hello II, and Merry Christmas! What happens in a “walkthrough” practice, and how does it differ from a regular practice?

A walkthrough is much like it sounds – it’s an opportunity for the offense and defense to go through their respective game plans for the upcoming game with “live” offense vs. defense reps. This week, coincidentally, Davante Adams painted a pretty clear picture of what Green Bay’s entail: “The way we walk through is pretty much full speed, just not the routes. The lines getting up there doing their thing, having a great get-off, the wideouts are getting all their steps but just not sprinting. … It’s not often we implement a whole new concept or a whole new route that we haven’t run before, so a lot of times all the work we’ve been putting in throughout the year, it’s the same stuff.”

Follow-up to the schedule question, do you think Packers vs. Jets will be Green Bay’s first London game, since the NFL seems to be against having “quality” matchups played there?

Well, it ain’t gonna be the Patriots. That’s for sure.

George from North Mankato , MN

Good morning and Merry Christmas, Wes. Just curious what your most memorable present has been?

George gets two because I loved this question. I was really into Kenner’s Starting Lineup figures as a kid. My parents bought me Brett Favre’s first Starting Lineup in 1994. I know the value didn’t hold long-term but it was the coolest thing in the world to me back then. I still cherish it.

The stockings are stuffed,

Leave a win under the tree,

Dean from Leavenworth, IN

A trip to Baltimore triumphant

King of the North once again

One goal secured while others remain

Now a talented Cleveland team unleashed from their dog pound

They come to Lambeau on this holy night desperate to stay in the hunt

Beware the Browns’ bite may exceed their bark

The unseen enemy more relentless than ever you must remain vigilant

Stay the course Green and Gold the road to fourteen lies straight ahead

Perfect, Dean. As always. But I feel like there’s only one way to end this Christmas edition of Inbox…

Wes, thank you for the gifts of a Christmas morning Inbox and great coverage of the big game this afternoon. Clinquant Christmas wishes to you, your household, and the Inbox family.

And the same to you, Lori. I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a memorable afternoon of Packers football.
