Jason Wilde

Packers insider Jason Wilde jumps on The Homer Hour to break down the Green and Gold’s growing injury report — a whopping 18 players deep. We get into the big one: could Josh Jacobs sit out against the Vikings but still be ready for the Lions on Thanksgiving? If Jacobs can’t go, is Emmanuel Wilson ready to carry the load for an extended stretch? Wilde also gives the latest on Lukas Van Ness’s status heading into the week and tackles the question every fan’s asking — with Tucker Kraft sidelined, why hasn’t Luke Musgrave seen more snaps?

After a gutsy win over the Giants, the Packers enter a defining stretch — but who are they really? Jason Wilde and Alex Strouf break down Jordan Love’s shoulder injury, Josh Jacobs’ uncertain status against Minnesota, and why Jason believes Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy could struggle at Lambeau Field. Plus, what the Packers’ offense looks like with — and without — Josh Jacobs.

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly, as he talks to Matt for the first time since he and Team Shuster's run of curling dominance came to an end in this past weekend's 2026 Team Olympic Trials. They get into the Green Bay Packers and everyone's backup quarterback du jour -- Malik Willis. Should Matt LaFleur start implementing more specialized packages for Willis? Also, what does Jayden Reed's social media activity indicate about his window to return from IR, and what could he and RB Marshawn Lloyd bring to the offense when healthy? Jason also finds out that Ferris Bueller actually played a live-action version of Inspector Gadget! They wrap up getting Jason's thoughts on producer Primetime's blind date set up by Matt's matchmaking wife, Jen. Would you ever go on a TRUE blind date, and is it a smart idea for Ryan to lead with the fact that he co-hosts a really cool movie podcast -- Reel Issues?

ESPN’s Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to unpack the Packers’ evolving offensive identity — and why Jordan Love and Matt LaFleur might actually look more comfortable without Josh Jacobs on the field. Wilde breaks down the balance between play-action, under-center rhythm, and whether LaFleur can adjust his system to fit his players instead of forcing the scheme.

The crew also dives into Malik Willis’ future: could he develop into a serviceable NFL starter in the right system? Wilde explains why coaching matters more than talent when it comes to quarterbacks — and how Green Bay’s offensive creativity could be key to maximizing both Love and Willis.

Plus: Jason shares locker room insight on Luke Musgrave’s role, LaFleur’s leadership quirks (including his two-watch press conference moment), and what adversity has taught this young Packers team.

Packers insider Jason Wilde joins Potawatomi Sportsbook Football Monday! We’re breaking down whether Jordan Love and Malik Willis just helped save the Packers’ season, and if the Green Bay defense missed some key chances to create turnovers against the Giants. Plus — will Josh Jacobs suit up Sunday against the Vikings, with a quick turnaround before the Lions game? And how worried should we be about the Packers’ run defense getting gashed — and teams playing keep-away from Love and that surging offense?

Jason Wilde joins Molly & ESPN Milwaukee's Josh Dimaggio, who he's surprised to be talking to after a lack of heads up from half-nodding producer Primetime Wollersheim. They discuss what the Packers and head coach Matt LaFleur need to prove this Sunday versus the Giants, as they look to avoid being upset AGAIN -- what if Green Bay loses 3 straight and what will it mean for LaFleur's job if they do? They also get into the promising injury report for the Packers and the opportunity for rookie wideout Matthew Golden, as well as the underestimated impact of Jayden Reed's absence and what we should (or shouldn't) expect from Luke Musgrave playing in place of Tucker Kraft for the rest of this season!

The Packers drop their second straight, this time to the Eagles on Monday Night Football — and the offensive struggles are glaring. Jason Wilde and Alex Strouf break down what’s gone wrong with Matt LaFleur’s offense, Jordan Love’s development, and why Love hasn’t had as much freedom at the line as Aaron Rodgers once did. Plus, a look ahead to Packers–Giants after New York fired head coach Brian Daboll — should Green Bay be worried about the “fired coach” bounce?

ESPN’s Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy after Jeff Hafley’s viral press conference to break down what it all means for the Packers. Wilde explains why Hafley’s confident tone has fans buzzing, why it’s too early to anoint him as LaFleur’s replacement, and how much Green Bay’s offensive rhythm — or lack thereof — falls on coaching versus execution.

The crew debates whether Matt LaFleur has lost his “flow” as a play-caller, how Tucker Kraft’s injury derailed the offense, and why the offensive line’s regression has short-circuited everything. Wilde also gives updates on Matthew Golden and Jaden Reed’s recoveries and reveals what’s next for the Packers heading into a pivotal NFC stretch.

Jason Wilde joins Jim & Molly, and he's THRILLED to be here on a Thursday! They discuss Packers fans calling for Matt LaFleur's job and if the Packers are starting to feel like an unstable organization. Molly asks Jason, who's more likely to get their contract renewed at this point -- Gutey or LaFleur -- and what if it's neither? Jim also asks if Hafley's defense is proof against Gutey's philosophy that prioritizes youth development over veteran leadership.

Packers reporter Jason Wilde joins The Homer Hour! With Matt LaFleur still calling the plays — is he tweaking the formula or sticking to what’s worked before? How’s Josh Jacobs feeling about the big guys up front — is frustration setting in with the offensive line? What’s the message coming out of that locker room from the O-line group?

Have the Packers shifted their identity — more power run or sticking with that classic zone scheme as new pieces come into play? And on the flip side, what’s the defense saying about the offensive struggles — are they feeling the pressure? Finally, will we see any shakeups up front, or does sliding Sean Rhyan to center keep the line mostly intact?"
