Pack Nation… Big Sal from Peshtigo here. I'm in the recliner, the coffee's already gone cold for the third time today, and my wife just walked past, looked at the TV, and said, "You're talking to yourself again." I told her it's not talking to myself, it's talking to Packer Nation. There's a difference. She rolled her eyes and kept walking. That's love right there. Alright. Let's talk about the last eight hours or so, because apparently the Packers can't just have a quiet Wednesday. They signed long snapper Scott Daly and brought Lenny Krieg back on the practice squad. Krieg's the German kicker. International spot. Necessary. Boring. But necessary. You know what else is necessary? A running back who can actually play in Week 1. And right now that job is staring MarShawn Lloyd square in the face. Support my coffee fund at patreon.com/pack_daddy

Pack Nation… it's Big Sal from Peshtigo. I'm sitting in the recliner, coffee's already cold, and I have officially had enough of the last ten hours of Packers news. I didn't ask for this. Nobody asked for this. But here we are. You wake up Monday thinking, "Okay, cutdown day is over, the 53 is set, maybe we get a quiet day." Nope. The league still has Josh Jacobs on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Still. He's getting paid, he can't practice, he can't play, and the rest of us are just supposed to nod like this is normal.

What's up Packers family Big Sal here with the Packernet podcast network let me tell you something. If you thought cutdown day was just gonna be the usual "sorry kid, it's a numbers game" and a couple of quiet releases… nah. Gutekunst and the front office turned Sunday into absolute chaos. Trades flying, the league dropping a bomb on the running back room, and the 53 coming together in the most 2026 Packers way possible. Let's break it all down the way we do it here – real talk, no fluff, just the stuff that actually matters as we head into the regular season. First, the heavy one. Josh Jacobs is on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Official. The NFL put him there after the misdemeanor charges (battery and criminal damage to property) that came out of that May incident. He's paid, he can be around the facility for meetings and workouts with the team's permission, but he can't practice and he can't play. Only Roger Goodell can take him off it.

Big Sal is still vibrating after the Packers' wild 42-38 preseason finale win over the Cardinals at Lambeau! Kyle McCord throws FOUR touchdowns. Will Sheppard takes a punt 81 yards to the house. Kisean Johnson hauls in two clutch late scores. Down 11 with under 5 minutes left… and somehow Green Bay finds a way. This was pure chaos, roster-bubble magic, and pure Packers heart. Big Sal breaks it all down the only way he knows how — loud, unhinged, and full of stories. Drop a like, leave a comment telling me who impressed you most, and subscribe so you don't miss a single rant. Go Pack Go!

Cheeseheads… buckle up. Because the Green Bay Packers just dropped a nuclear Friday on us, and the temperature at Lambeau is about to hit meltdown. Big Sal here with Let me tell ya somethin' on the packernet podcast network. First, the gut-punch. Running back Josh Jacobs – the engine, the hammer, the guy who runs like the defense owes him money – has been formally charged with two misdemeanor counts: battery and criminal damage to property. This stems from that May incident at his place involving his then-girlfriend. Court appearance isn't until November, but the NFL is watching every move, and the league's personal-conduct policy is hovering like a storm cloud over the entire backfield.

The Bears just traded away a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 third-round pick for rotational defensive lineman Shemar Turner in the middle of August. Big Sal is calling out the front office for panicking, showing zero trust in their own draft process, and handing future assets to the 49ers for a piece that will not fix their real problems. He explains how this move leaves Ben Johnson with a mismatched roster and predicts Chicago will spend the next two years regretting the picks while Green Bay keeps building the right way.

The Pack is in Denver for preseason game number two, and Big Sal cannot sit still. Forget the twenty-eight to nine we ate in Pittsburgh — that was one loud drive and then the battery light. Tonight's the first look at whether there's a real motor in this football team. Sal's got a list, Pack Nation. How long does Jordan Love actually play, because with the starters likely sitting the Lambeau finale, this Denver evening might be the whole preseason for number ten. Does rookie kicker Trey Smack — already three-for-three with a fifty-eight-yard bomb in his pocket — launch one into that thin Mile High air and rewrite the record book. And the one that keeps Sal up at night: with a possible seventh receiver spot on the line, which bubble guy grabs it — Isaiah Neyor or J. Michael Sturdivant — and which one goes home. None of it counts in the standings. All of it counts for the men on the field. Peshtigo's finest is locked in like it's a playoff game — because to somebody out there tonight, it is. Subscribe, leave a review, and share it with the buddy who says "it's just preseason." Sal cares too much. That's the whole show. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN, PACK NATION!

Big Sal sits down with the latest closed practice notes and gets excited about the Packers defensive line playing multiple techniques on the same snap. He explains how that flexibility keeps the whole front fresh, reduces substitutions, and sets the team up for success while Micah Parsons works his way back into the lineup. The discussion takes a personal turn when Sal recounts his eleven year old daughter tackling a big school project by shifting between tasks without missing a beat. The parallel to the defensive line is impossible to ignore.

Tucker Kraft caught four passes and scored a touchdown in practice, and Big Sal is convinced this is the moment the Packers offense starts looking like the freight train he has been promising. Jordan Love suddenly has another reliable target in the middle of the field that changes how defenses have to account for the seam. Sal compares Kraft's return to his neighbor Gary Pletcher fixing a broken snow plow hitch during a brutal Wisconsin storm, getting the job done when things go wrong instead of waiting for perfect conditions. When this offense gets everybody healthy at the same time, Sal says there will not be a defense in the NFC ready for what Green Bay is about to do.

Big Sal is fired up after hearing the Bears are making calls to trade for Vita Vea. From Peshtigo he breaks down why a rental defensive tackle in his walk year is not a fix but a clear admission that the franchise still does not have it. Sal goes in on the Ben Johnson hire, the front office scrambling in August, and the difference between renting respectability and actually building a culture that lasts. He explains how one veteran name does nothing to solve the real problems on the defensive line or in the locker room.

Twenty-eight to nine in Pittsburgh looks ugly on paper — until you actually watch what happened.

In this episode of LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN, Big Sal breaks down the only things that mattered from the Packers' preseason opener: Jordan Love's one clean series and why that alone is a win Trey Smack's four made field goals (including two from 58) after a shaky camp Kyle McCord's 12-of-14 masterclass and 37-second drive Brandon Cisse looking comfortable and physical in his first NFL action Jonathan Gannon's aggressive blitz personality already showing up The final score is the sticker in the window.

I was there Friday night under the lights at Lambeau with 57,411 of you. Ten-dollar tickets, fireworks, a laser show, and a full Packers practice that Matt LaFleur himself called sloppy. Big Sal brought a wish list of five things he needed to see. Tonight we grade that homework in public, and one player who wasn't even on the list stole the entire night. Trey Smack's cold kicks under the lights, including the ones that mattered when legs were gone Brandon Cissay's three wins against Christian Watson and what it means with Valentine sidelined Jordan Love's command throw to Matthew Golden that brought the stadium out of its seats Baron's run-game stops, the defense's early heat, and why the flags and drops don't scare me This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Day seven of Packers training camp just flipped the script. What started as tempered expectations around a new defensive coordinator and an incomplete front seven turned into something with real teeth — and Big Sal is already eating his words. From Barryn Sorrell's 60-yard pick-six to the sudden emergence of the pass-rush pieces that were missing the last two years, the defense is flying around and forcing the issue. Key discussion points: Barryn Sorrell's pick-six and the long-awaited arrival of consistent pressure Zaire Franklin's twitch, instincts, and early leadership at Mike linebacker Xavier McKinney, Javon Bullard, and Evan Williams filling the run and covering ground Isaiah Neyor and the young receivers forcing attention while the offense's rough day gets framed as iron sharpening iron Growing concern over rookie kicker Trey Smack and whether the front office needs another leg This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Family Night at Lambeau is here and Big Sal's got a list. Under the lights for the first time this year the young blood has to answer questions — the kicker who's been an adventure, the second-year edge who just took a pick-six sixty yards, the rookie corner stepping into the ones, Gannon's all-out blitz machine keeping the fire burning without Micah, and Jordan Love showing real ownership in year four as a new dad. This isn't just practice. It's the first real look. Trey Smack has to drill one from 45 and jog off like it's nothing after those shaky camp numbers Barryn Sorrell, fresh off training with Micah Parsons and a pick-six, needs to bend the edge again and prove it wasn't a fluke Jonathan Gannon's defense is feeding the stove with kindling — blitzing linebackers, safeties, corners, everybody — until the big oak log returns Brandon Cisse has locked down one-on-ones so far; tonight the lights and Christian Watson will tell us if he's the real jolt or the crash Jordan Love, full-time starter year four and first Family Night as a father, has to show the command and the fine-print ownership that separates good from Canton This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Day seven of Packers training camp just flipped the script. What started as tempered expectations around a new defensive coordinator and an incomplete front seven turned into something with real teeth — and Big Sal is already eating his words. From Barryn Sorrell's 60-yard pick-six to the sudden emergence of the pass-rush pieces that were missing the last two years, the defense is flying around and forcing the issue. Key discussion points: Barryn Sorrell's pick-six and the long-awaited arrival of consistent pressure Zaire Franklin's twitch, instincts, and early leadership at Mike linebacker Xavier McKinney, Javon Bullard, and Evan Williams filling the run and covering ground Isaiah Neyor and the young receivers forcing attention while the offense's rough day gets framed as iron sharpening iron Growing concern over rookie kicker Trey Smack and whether the front office needs another leg This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Family Night at Lambeau is here and Big Sal's got a list. Under the lights for the first time this year the young blood has to answer questions — the kicker who's been an adventure, the second-year edge who just took a pick-six sixty yards, the rookie corner stepping into the ones, Gannon's all-out blitz machine keeping the fire burning without Micah, and Jordan Love showing real ownership in year four as a new dad. This isn't just practice. It's the first real look.

Pack Nation, the first three days of camp had me sick with joy. Jordan Love ran no-huddle like he already owns the offense, Matthew Golden went up and plucked the ball like it owed him money, and Tucker Kraft came off the PUP list and immediately ran the sideline lighting up the fans. Then Zaire Franklin forced a fumble on Day One in shorts and put his nameplate on the door with a hammer. But Big Sal is not here to just bask in the sunshine. Jordan Love's command of the offense is no longer a question — the "can he do it" conversation is dead and buried Matthew Golden's second-year jump looks real in a thin receiver room (and yes, I compared him to a Generac) Tucker Kraft's return after nine months was pure Packer energy, humility and all Zaire Franklin and a healthy MarShawn Lloyd already changing the feel of the defense The real test starts Monday when the pads come on. Shorts football is a beautiful lie. I want to see the offensive line prove it, the young corners take contact, and Lukas Van Ness bend the edge for real. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Football is back in Wisconsin and Big Sal has been vibrating ever since. Training camp day one at Ray Nitschke Field delivered everything — the bikes tradition, an offense already finishing drives in the red zone, and Marshawn Lloyd finally looking like the chainsaw that ripped on the first pull. But none of that was the moment of the day. That belonged to Marlon Jones Jr. — an undrafted rookie cornerback who not long ago sat across from an oncologist and was told he would never play football again. Today he jumped a route, took it to the house, and the whole field lost its mind. - Marshawn Lloyd exploding with cutbacks and burst visible from the back fence — the chainsaw finally fixed - Jordan Love connecting with Watson and scoring himself on a read-keeper; offense finishing red zone drives on day one - Marlon Jones Jr.'s pick-six and the cancer survival story behind it — the moment of training camp day one - Injury report: Tucker Kraft (PUP/ACL) expected week one; craft extension called a "possibility" — Sal calls that a formality Get yourself to that fence, Pac-Nation.

Big Sal opened camp week with a full meltdown — six Packers on the PUP and NFI lists before a whistle blew, blood pressure somewhere it shouldn't go over a July transaction wire. Then he read the rulebook. The July PUP list is a parking spot, not a sentence. Knowing which guys are the ice machine and which one is the pool table with tape on the corner pocket? That's your job as a fan, because nobody on television is going to do it. - **Tucker Kraft vs. Luke Musgrave on PUP:** Kraft's finishing a comeback, not starting one — no pitch count, week one. Musgrave had the door wide open and landed on the same list as the guy he was supposed to cover for; the reps go to Josh Wilde and Messiah Swinson. - **Micah Parsons and the math:** December 14th ACL plus nine months equals mid-September. He was never going to be at Minnesota. Big Sal wants week five, not a day earlier — rushing him back is how you spend four years of a career to win a Tuesday in July. - **The good news Big Sal never gives:** Zack Tom is off the list. Without him, Love's sack rate more than doubled. Eight and two when Tom played 30-plus snaps. That's the whole season in one guy's knee. Hit subscribe, leave a review, and send this to whoever panicked worse than Big Sal when that list dropped. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The clipboard is OUT. The reading glasses are ON. Big Sal is handing down the official 53-man roster prediction — every name, every spot, laminated and carved in stone. Until somebody has one good preseason game and he denies this episode ever existed. Rosters are Sal's art form, Pack Nation, so sharpen a pencil and stay with him. Here's what you're in for:

Write the name down. Put it on the refrigerator. Big Sal has DECIDED — personally, at seven in the morning, in his kitchen — that Brandon Cissé is going to be that dude. Forget the quarterback. Forget the offensive line. This, Pack Nation, is THE camp battle, and Sal is not asking for greatness from a 20-year-old he's never met. He's demanding it. Here's what has Sal fired up:

Big Sal is FIRED UP, and it's your fault, Pack Nation. Call Javon Hargrave washed one more time and watch what happens. Sal put the coffee down, dug out the tape, and he's here to explain why three and a half sacks is a receipt, not a verdict — and why the people waving that number around got played by their own eyeballs. Here's what Sal drives home:

Big Sal fires up over the ridiculous take that the Packers have too many good players and not enough stars. - Breaks down the star power of Micah Parsons and Tucker Kraft despite injury recoveries - Highlights the elite safety tandem of Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams - Defends Jordan Love's elite ball security and the depth across the roster Send those knuckleheads Big Sal's way next time they claim Green Bay is just 'good.'

Big Sal opens up after watching Dave Bakhtiari's raw interview, where the former Packers left tackle compares his devastating knee injury to a wheelbarrow wheel folding under pressure. From the non-contact ACL tear and cartilage damage that ended his career to the brutal tibial tuberosity osteotomy with donor bone plugs, Bakhtiari details playing through pain and fluid drains just to return for 11 games. - Bakhtiari's elite career protecting Aaron Rodgers and becoming the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history. - The heartbreaking moment his knee gave out in practice and his five-second cry before asking what to do next. - How he built a massive real estate portfolio (2,000 units) and never let football define his identity. - His peace with the game and only regret: caring too much and doing too much in that final practice. Go watch the full interview and remember that the worst day of your life doesn't have to break you. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!
