Jason Wilde joins Kyle & Brust ahead of Packers-Falcons with the biggest question once again surrounding Green Bay’s offensive line. Wilde lays out the likely starting five of Jordan Morgan, Jagger Burton or Donovan Jennings, Sean Rhyan, Jacob Monk and Anthony Belton and says progress tonight would be simple: open some running lanes and keep Jordan Love relatively protected. He also explains why the continued mystery surrounding Burton is so fascinating after the Packers spent much of the offseason talking him up and giving him first-team reps.

Could the Packers actually become a defense-and-special-teams team? Wilde says that possibility suddenly looks much more realistic. Green Bay entered the year expecting the offense to carry the load, but Jonathan Gannon’s defense has become the early strength. Wilde explains how Gannon’s constantly moving and disguising secondary differs from Jeff Hafley’s approach and why players like Lukas Van Ness, Edgerrin Cooper, Javon Bullard and Evan Williams are thriving in the new system.

Plus, with Jayden Reed unavailable, Wilde breaks down how Green Bay replaces his production. Christian Watson and Matthew Golden should command even more targets, but the Packers may also have to lean on Bo Melton, Skyy Moore and J. Michael Sturdivant or increase Jonnu Smith’s role and use more two-tight-end formations against Atlanta.
