  • Wilde: What Counts as Packers Progress?
    Jason Wilde joins Brian Bulaga and Homer to debate what would qualify as a successful Packers season. Wilde says he expects Green Bay to be in the playoff mix, but believes a true step forward requires winning a postseason game and showing progress beyond another early exit. He and Bulaga identify the biggest concerns on the roster, including cornerback, pass rush, the offensive line and Zach Tom’s recovery from his patellar tendon injury. Wilde also explains why 2027 may line up better as Green Bay’s true Super Bowl window, even if the Packers could still arrive earlier than expected.

  • Wilde: Replay, Red Cards and Getting Calls Right
    Jason Wilde joins Ben Brust and Homer after the U.S. soccer team advances despite a controversial red card. Wilde says replay should exist to get calls right, but the system only works when it is properly administered and not overthought in slow motion. The conversation expands into football, basketball and baseball officiating, including the Fail Mary, college basketball replay and whether sports should rely more heavily on technology. Wilde also reflects on Wisconsin’s 2015 national title loss to Duke and how legendary coaches can influence officials.

  • Jason Wilde: Jordan Love's Ceiling Is Still Ahead
    Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe, and Chewy to evaluate the Packers' offseason, explaining why a B+ grade feels fair while still raising concerns about Green Bay's cornerback room and offensive line depth. He also weighs in on the Dontayvion Wicks trade, the team's veteran additions, and what to expect from Brian Gutekunst's offseason moves. The conversation then shifts to Jordan Love, where Jason explains why he believes Love is already a very good quarterback—but says this is the season he needs to prove he can become a truly great one and lead the Packers into Super Bowl contention.

  • Wilde: Packers Cornerbacks and Rodgers Questions
    Jason Wilde joins Homer to debate whether Team USA’s World Cup match or Jacob Misiorowski’s next Brewers start matters more before turning to the Packers. Wilde explains why he is not focused on Micah Parsons yet, noting Parsons has said he is not cleared for football activities until the nine-month mark of his recovery. He also breaks down Green Bay’s cornerback situation, praising Keyshawn Nixon and Carrington Valentine for outperforming expectations while acknowledging the Packers still lack a true number one corner. Wilde and Homer then discuss the Bucks after Giannis’ exit, how some fans may be ready for what comes next, and why Aaron Rodgers’ departure made Jordan Love’s transition easier. The segment closes with Wilde reflecting on the old Rodgers show, why it worked, and why he remains proud of the way those interviews were handled.

  • Wilde: Packers Have a Cornerback Problem
    Jason Wilde joins Homer to talk through Keyshawn Nixon’s role as the Packers’ number one cornerback and why criticism of Nixon misses the bigger issue. Wilde explains that Nixon has outperformed expectations, but Green Bay’s lack of a true top corner reflects years of missed draft picks, free-agent swings and limited investment at the position. He walks through the Packers’ cornerback history under Brian Gutekunst, including Eric Stokes, Josh Jackson, Nate Hobbs, Carrington Valentine and several late-round misses. Wilde also compares cornerback to the offensive line as one of Green Bay’s biggest question marks and says the Packers look more like a good-to-very-good team than a true Super Bowl team right now.

  • Jason Wilde: Packers Have a Wide Range of Outcomes
    Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to assess where the Packers stand entering training camp, explaining why he believes Green Bay has both a high ceiling and plenty of uncertainty. He discusses whether Jadeveon Clowney makes sense as a veteran addition, if Matt LaFleur could rethink his preseason philosophy, and what to expect from the reshuffled offensive line. Wilde also weighs in on rookie kicker Trey Smack and why patience may be required as Green Bay's young roster continues to develop.

  • Wilde: Jordan Love’s Footwork and Packers Camp Questions
    Jason Wilde joins Ben Brust and Gabe Neitzel after another round of Keyshawn Nixon debate, but says he is ready to move on from arguing with Packers fans about Nixon’s value. Wilde explains why training camp will be especially interesting along the offensive line, where Jagger Burton has already earned meaningful work and could push for playing time. He also points to cornerback as another major watch area, especially with Brandon Cisse still only 20 years old and the Packers needing clarity behind Nixon. Wilde then breaks down Jordan Love’s offseason focus on footwork, pocket movement and staying smooth through his reads. He also explains why Luke Getsy’s return as quarterbacks coach and Tyrod Taylor’s veteran presence could both matter for Love’s next step.

  • Wilde: Ben’s Big Shot and Big-Game Nerves
    Jason Wilde joins Ben and Josh after seeing a highlight of Ben’s clutch NCAA Tournament shot against Oregon and asks him to reflect on what that moment meant. Ben explains why that basket mattered so much to Wisconsin’s Final Four run and why the Arizona Elite Eight game actually stands out as his greatest Badgers memory. Wilde uses the conversation to ask about nerves, preparation, and how young athletes can respond when they struggle early in big moments. The segment also takes a nostalgic turn into County Stadium, Brewers memories, and the legend of the two-fisted slopper.

  • Jason Wilde: Is Tucker Kraft the NFL's Best TE?
    Jason Wilde joins the show to discuss why Tucker Kraft appears to be on track for a lucrative contract extension and what makes the Packers tight end one of the league's most complete players. He explains why timing, not just production, drives NFL contracts, weighs in on Green Bay's offensive weapons ranking, and shares why the Packers still have plenty of confidence in their young skill-position group. Jason also offers a unique perspective on Bo Melton's value inside the locker room, arguing that his impact on team chemistry goes well beyond the stat sheet. It's a Packers-focused conversation packed with insight as training camp draws closer.
