Podcast appearances and mentions of brandon mcmanus

The Los Angeles Rams made the blockbuster move of the NFL offseason, acquiring defensive end Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns. Therefore, the Green Bay Packers' path to Super Bowl LXI just to a lot more difficult. (Along with the rest of the NFL...) Andy Herman joins the show to break down the blockbuster move, as well as share thoughts on the Josh Jacobs situation, and the post-June 1st Cap Savings for kicker Brandon McManus and cornerback Nate Hobbs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Packers Beat Writer Ryan Wood joins Wisconsin Sports Daily to break down the beginning of Packers OTAs. Ryan & Sparky get heated when talking about Rookie Kicker Trey Smack taking over for Brandon McManus in a surprise move by the Packers.

The NFL will release the full 2026 regular-season schedule Thursday, but we already know who the Green Bay Packers will play and where they'll play. (With one exception...) Marques breaks down the Packers' 2026 opponents, and all the discussion about "strength-of-schedule," which doesn't really matter during the offseason. Andy Herman of the Pack-a-Day Podcast joins the show to talk about the decision to release Brandon McManus, what it means for rookie kicker Trey Smack, as well as the key questions the Packers face on the offensive line.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pack Daddy is running on fumes after Mother's Day food coma — so Pack Nation steps up and carries the show with some absolute heaters. From punchable faces in sports media to the Jordan love slander that just won't die, this one builds to one of the most legendary caller rants in After Dark history. Buckle up.

Pack Daddy is running on fumes after Mother's Day food coma — so Pack Nation steps up and carries the show with some absolute heaters. From punchable faces in sports media to the Jordan love slander that just won't die, this one builds to one of the most legendary caller rants in After Dark history. Buckle up.

Ryan opens with a quick breakdown of the Brandon McManus release — and why it was always the obvious move once the Packers drafted Smaack. No fake competition needed. Then it's on to the main event: the Jordan Love inconsistency narrative that refuses to die, and Ryan is done letting it breathe. Armed with PFF grades, coefficient of variation analysis, and week-by-week comparisons across the entire NFL, Ryan methodically dismantles the "wildly inconsistent" label that fans and media have slapped on Love without a shred of data to back it up. McManus release explained: why roster math and draft logic made this inevitable from day one Jonathan Gannon calls Jordan Love "top tier" — and AJ Hawk's hesitant response says more than he intended PFF grade breakdowns for Love, Josh Allen, Stafford, Dak, Goff, Caleb Williams, Drake May, and Bo Nix — the numbers don't lie Standard deviation and CV analysis reveals Love as the second-most consistent starter in the NFL behind only Josh Allen Stop repeating talking points you can't back up. Ryan's challenge to every Packer fan and hater alike: prove it — or stop saying it. #GreenBayPackers #JordanLove #NFLDraft #PackerNation #PFF #NFLAnalysis #Packers2025 #BrandonMcManus #ConsistencyDebate #PackernetPodcast This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Aaron chats with Packers fans worldwide after the release of kicker Brandon McManus leaves rookie Trey Smack in pole position to be the team's kicker going forward.

The Green Bay Packers traded two draft picks to move up and select Florida kicker Trey Smack in the 2026 NFL Draft. Less than two weeks later, the team released Brandon McManus. Which is interesting, considering the Packers preached the importance of "competition," after making the move for Smack, and suddenly, it looks less like a competition, and more like Smack's job. (with all due respect to Lucas Havrisik.) So, WHAT'S GOING ON?! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NFC North Post-Draft Grades: Packers Roasted, Lions Solid, Vikings Defense-Heavy, Bears Add Safety and Center — The hosts of “Who Will Be King” shift into post-draft football talk by grading NFC North draft classes, repeatedly criticizing Green Bay for having no first-round pick, making mostly depth selections, and trading up in the sixth round for Florida kicker Trey Smack to create competition for Brandon McManus. Detroit is described as having a solid, aggressive draft highlighted by tackle Blake Miller, edge Derrick Moore (traded up for), linebacker Jimmy Rolder, and versatile corner Keith Abney. Minnesota details a defense-heavy class led by DT Caleb Banks, LB Jake Golday, nose tackle Dominique “Big Citrus” Orange, OL Caleb Tiernan, safety Jakobe Thomas, plus later picks including fullback Max Bredeson, RB Demond Claiborne, and center Gavin Gerhardt, while also mentioning possible WR Jauan Jennings talks. Chicago's class is praised for safety Dylan Thieneman (4.28 speed) and Iowa center Logan Jones, with mixed reaction to Stanford TE Sam Raush, followed by additional late-round picks. 00:00 Post Draft Kickoff 02:12 Bears Stadium Detour 02:58 Packers Draft Roast 03:49 Kicker Trade Up Debate 06:43 Packers Depth Picks 09:30 Lions Draft Breakdown 15:30 Lions Steals And Favorites 19:48 Vikings First Round Defense 23:44 Vikings Day Two Haul 29:02 Vikings Day Three Sleepers 31:31 Vikings Needs And Jennings Rumor 33:45 Golday Fit Wrap Up 34:34 Bears Land Thieneman 35:39 Replacing Brisker Byard 37:38 Versatile Safety Speed 38:54 Logan Jones At Center 40:42 Starter Battle Grades 42:03 Stanford Tight End Shock 43:15 Why Tight End Fits 46:42 Late Round Recap 49:03 NFC North Draft Debate 54:30 Packers Draft Roasted 54:55 Where To Follow Hosts 56:57 Wrap Up And Outro FAN WITH US!!!  Follow us on Twitter ✖️ for more updates… Pay @TheRealPayday, host of Frustrated Chicago Sports Fan Channel, June @asgjune & M Foster @Mbrfosterchild, hosts of the Bleachers To Speakers [Lions] podcast, and Dave Stefano @Luft_Krigare, from @Vikings1stSKOL.

Big Sal did not sleep last night. He was up until two in the morning reading draft grades, pacing the living room in his socks, and now he has something to say about it. Sports Illustrated gave the Green Bay Packers a D for their 2026 draft class, and Sal is here to burn that grade to the ground — pick by pick, stat by stat, slippers and all. Sal makes the case for Brandon Cisse as a Day 2 steal: a twenty-year-old corner who ran a 4.41 and allowed just eighteen catches in coverage at South Carolina — and why calling him "raw" misses the entire point of developmental drafting The picks SI barely mentioned: Chris McClellan's eleven-inch hands and scheme-perfect fit, Dani Dennis-Sutton's 9.96 RAS and fourth-round robbery, Jager Burton's zero sacks allowed and 4.94 forty at 312 pounds Why drafting Trey Smack is not a punchline — it is a direct response to Brandon McManus leaving seven points on the field in a four-point playoff loss Big Sal said what he said. Now it's your turn — subscribe, leave a five-star review, and tell the guy at the gas station who thinks the Bears had a better draft. #Packers #GreenBay #NFLDraft #PackNation #PackersDraft #LetMeTellYouSomething #BigSal #NFL #DraftGrades #PackDaddy This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

It's a numbers game for the Green Bay Packers. After making just six picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Packers clearly feel like their roster is a tough one to crack. But second-round cornerback Brandon Cisse, third-round defensive tackle Chris McClellan and fourth-round edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton will likely fight for playing time immediately in 2026. Meanwhile, they traded up for Florida kicker Trey Smack, which may signal the end for Brandon McManus. Andy Herman joins the show to discuss the Packers' draft class. Plus, we break down the Jersey Numbers for the rookies. (Vital information, indeed.)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Big Sal from Peshtigo has had ENOUGH. The national media is parading Ben Johnson around like he cracked the code of professional football, and Sal is here to set the record straight — one hot dog deal at a time. The Bears went 2-for-6 on fourth down in the Wild Card game, a missed Brandon McManus field goal bailed out their "genius" head coach, and somehow the columns keep coming. Sal breaks down exactly what the numbers say about Johnson's debut season. Caleb Williams went 24-for-48 in the biggest game of his year and seven fourth-quarter comebacks apparently make him Marino. Sal is not buying it — and he has receipts. The Packers gave away the NFC North game at 16-6 with under two minutes left and spotted Chicago 21 unanswered points in the Wild Card. The Bears did not beat Green Bay. Green Bay beat Green Bay. Ben Johnson chirped at LaFleur on day one with zero wins as a head coach. Sal has a theory about what that actually means — and it is not confidence. The assignment for 2026 is simple: stop making Opie's job easy.

Defending McManus: Stats show down years are common; examples from Boswell, Myers, and others prove rebounds happen. Salary Cap Breakdown: Analyzing potential cuts, restructures, and dead cap for Gary ($28M hit), Banks ($25M), and Jenkins ($24M).

Mike aka Packer Super Fan voices what many are thinking: the process stunk, and he's not coming around just because everyone else is. Meanwhile, the Brandon McManus discourse has reached a boiling point, and Dakota brings receipts on why the Haversick hot streak created unrealistic expectations. On the draft front, Kyle from Madison flips the script on not having a first-round pick, arguing it forces us to appreciate the depth of talent where the Packers actually excel. Beer Cheese Benny puts Grayson Halton and Logan Fano on the radar as intriguing Day 2 targets. Plus, Aaron from Ontario breaks down why Gannon's quarters-heavy scheme could be the perfect fit for our safety duo of Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams, and Drew from Green Bay makes the case for tight end as a sneaky draft need.

The phone lines lit up after the Packers suffered one of the most gut-wrenching playoff losses in recent memory—blowing an 18-point halftime lead to the Chicago Bears and getting eliminated from the postseason. Callers from across the country dialed in to process the pain, vent their frustrations, and ask the hard questions about Matt LaFleur's future in Green Bay. The second half collapse dominated the conversation: six points scored versus 28 allowed, Josh Jacobs limited to just six rushing yards, and Brandon McManus missing kicks when they mattered most. Multiple callers declared they're done defending LaFleur after watching another playoff implosion, questioning whether a coach heading into year eight can suddenly develop the leadership qualities he's failed to demonstrate. The discussion turned philosophical as fans compared Green Bay's championship culture—or lack thereof—to the Patriots and Chiefs dynasties that seem to find ways to win when everything is on the line. Amid the despair, callers found common ground in praising Jayden Reed's breakout performance and expressing cautious optimism about returning injured players. But the overriding sentiment was clear: something fundamental needs to change if this team is going to stop pissing down their leg when it matters most. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The show kicks off with a heated reaction to a wild NFL Wild Card weekend, highlighting how kickers often decide games more than coaches, with Brandon McManus taking the brunt of the criticism over Matt LaFleur. Fans' frustrations spill over with passionate takes on the Eagles' offense, AJ Brown, and offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, leading to a breakdown of what's broken in Philly and what offseason moves make sense. The discussion then shifts to the Commanders, starting with a Ben Johnson film breakdown that reveals a surprising connection in his playcalling, followed by analysis of the team's hire of David Blough as offensive coordinator. Chris examines why the move makes sense, what concerns remain, and how Blough's familiarity with the roster could be a major advantage, while also weighing fans' reactions and the pros and cons of rapid NFL coaching hires. The episode wraps with broader critiques of NFL scheduling, including short rest for the 49ers and the league's focus on TV ratings over competitive balance.

Hour 1 kicks off with a heated reaction to a super wild NFL Wild Card weekend, including a strong reminder that kickers decide more games than coaches after the Packers' costly misses. The blame game continues with the argument that Matt LaFleur shouldn't be the target and that kicker Brandon McManus deserves the criticism instead. The show also features audio of a passionate young Eagles fan unloading on the offense, AJ Brown, and offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, leading to a breakdown of what's broken in Philly and what offseason moves make sense. The hour wraps with a fiery rant on NFL scheduling, calling out the league for giving the 49ers short rest and prioritizing TV ratings over competitive balance.

The Packers season ended in the most gut-wrenching way imaginable. After dominating the Bears in the first half and building what looked like an insurmountable lead, Green Bay collapsed in historic fashion, surrendering 25 points in the fourth quarter to lose their playoff game to their most hated rival. In this raw, emotional reaction, we break down everything that went wrong: the offensive line's complete meltdown with Rasheed Walker's disastrous performance, Brandon McManus missing seven points worth of kicks, and a defense that appeared to simply stop trying in the fourth quarter. We ask the hard questions about Matt LaFleur's future extension, Jeff Hafley's potential departure, and whether this team has a fundamental problem that goes beyond talent. This marks five consecutive losses to end the season, and not a single win since losing Micah Parsons and Zach Tom to injury. Looking ahead, we discuss what the offseason holds, including draft coverage, roster evaluations, and the painful work of figuring out what went so catastrophically wrong.

The Green Bay Packers' season is over, and it happened in the most predictable and yet still most painful way possible. Tex, Tyler, and (eventually) Justis discuss the 31-27 loss to the Bears, what's ahead for Matt LaFleur and the coaching staff, and take a journey from calm acceptance into anger and frustration. Where does this game rank in the annals of painful playoff losses? Will LaFleur indeed be back in 2026? Why is Brandon McManus allowed to board the plane back to Green Bay instead of being forced to walk home? All of these questions and more will be answered (except for the last one). Hosted on Acast.

The Green Bay Packers fall 10-7 to the Philadelphia Eagles at home, sparking questions about Matt LaFleur's future and Jordan Love's performance in crucial games. SI.com's Jacob Westendorf analyzes the team's offensive struggles, Matt LaFleur's post-game comments, offensive line issues, the Brandon McManus kicker situation, and whether this coaching staff can win a championship with a talented roster.

The Green Bay Packers face the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football in a game that could swing them from the number two seed to seventh place. Matt Schneidman from The Athletic breaks down the key matchups, injury concerns including Tucker Kraft's absence, kicker Brandon McManus's struggles, and why the turnover battle will decide this crucial playoff-positioning game at Lambeau Field.

The Packers made Tex and Justis mad as hell, and now you're all going to hear about it. Green Bay lost to the Carolina Panthers 16-13 on Sunday at Lambeau Field in a game when the offense had no answers, lost Tucker Kraft (probably for the year), and the defense couldn't get even a tiny bit of pressure on Bryce Young despite the Panthers playing several backup offensive linemen. That means tonight's Repack is a bit of a cathartic journey, exploring Matt LaFleur's shortcomings, chaos in the college football coaching ranks, and how and when the Packers should try to move on from kicker Brandon McManus. Hopefully this will be as much of an emotional release for you, the listener, as it was for Justis and Tex. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Aaron and Andy Herman dive deep into what Kraft's loss means for Matt LaFleur's offense, whether Luke Musgrave can fill the void, and how the foundation of Green Bay's attack might have to be rebuilt on the fly.They also take aim at the growing kicker controversy with Brandon McManus, LaFleur's red-zone decision making, and the defense's struggles to get off the field. From the frustrating loss to Carolina to what comes next for Jordan Love and company — this week's Let's Talk Football pulls no punches.

Sunday night felt like a real passing of the torch moment for Jordan Love, as he out-dueled old man Aaron Rodgers in the Green Bay Packers' 35-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Evan "Tex" Western and special guest Justis Mosqueda break down the Packers' big prime time win, which featured a massive game from Tucker Kraft and big contributions from Christian Watson and Emanuel Wilson as the team owned the second half en route to their victory. It wasn't perfect -- looking at you, Brandon McManus -- but it feels like one of the most satisfying wins in recent memory, at least in the immediate aftermath. Hosted on Acast.

Packers kicker Brandon McManus is dealing with a right quad injury that head coach Matt LaFleur called “a major concern"  though it sounds like McManus will give it a go on Sunday.
