Reporting As Eligible

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible Paul, Matub, and JR make fun of the Bears while the Cubs draw ever close to the Brewers in the background. Will it bite them? Probably not, because the guys also go through all of the advantages the current Packers hold over the current Bears, at quarterback, offensive line, secondary, running backs, etv. They do go over some possible advantages the Bears can leverage like quarterback running, and not having a rookie kicking at Soldier Field, and DJ Moore, but by and large positivity reigns supreme.

They also discuss parking, proper procedure for making rockets, SQL, and of course, answer all of your wonderful questions, as the regular season gets underway! 

Intro: Pulaski at Night - Andrew Bird

Outro: Hands Open - Snow Patrol

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible (which was recorded on Monday before final cuts), as the preseason comes to and end and roster cuts begin in earnest, Paul, Matt, and JR discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of the game against the Seahawks, the new punter, Malik Heath’s outstanding college play, Jayden Reed’s under-the-radar struggles, Anders making big kicks under the lights, and the weird slow start on offense, including Jordan Love’s worst few series of the preseason.

They also discuss how Aaron Rodgers now looks like an old man, and of course, listener questions.

Intro: The Wild Rover - The Kissers

Outro: I just died in your arms tonight - Cutting Crew

On a brand new preseason episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matub, and JR celebrate Milervine Day with a recap of the Packers’ “technical” loss to the Pats. Did Jordan Love really play that well? Did the receivers? Did Malik Heath? Did Sean Clifford? The answers are more complicated than you may think!

Did JJ Enagbare? Yes. Yes he did. 

Did Josh Myers? No. He did not.

The guys also discuss the best football video game for kids, Milwaukee celebrities, Sterling Sharpe, cuts, signings, injuries, Anders Carslon, Carrington Valentine, whether Luke Musgrave’s is the cause of Love’s high throws, and of course, listener questions, as Reporting as Eligible rolls on.

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matub, and a returning Tyler Brooke of Fanbuzz discuss the winover the Bengals, who looked good, who was good despite looking bad, and who was bad despite looking good. Was Jordan Love one of those options? Is Sean Clifford a thing? Who played better among Romeo Doubs, Samori Toure, Dontayvion Wicks, and Jayden Reed? Is Carrington Valentine the second coming of Sam Shields? And who exactly is going to play safety for this team.

Plus the nuances of kicking and Anders Carlson, AJ Dillon’s secret screw up, a big day for Emanuel, and of course, listener questions, as RAE preseason marches on! 

On the season premiere of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matub, and JR take a fast and furious look at Family Night, camp risers like Devonte Wyatt, camp crashers like Josh Myers, and how everyone fits into the post-Rodgers scheme. 

The also briefly discuss the KUBIAK projections for the North, why Justin Fields is likely to fail, why the Packers almost can’t help being somewhat successful, how long we need to give Love to know what’s going on, how long we need to give Joe Barry, and whether Anders Carlos represents a new type of nepotism issue. All of that, plus listener questions, as season five of RAE kicks off.

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matt, and JR discuss the Jordan Love extension, and every single draftee, from Van Ness to Dubose. The guys go over whether the Packer process was sound, whether positional value was considered, and most importantly, whether any of these guys are any good. Explore Paul’s gripes with Jayden Reed, Matt’s gripes with Anders Carleson, and why Dontayvion Wicks may be better than just about any other receiver in this draft. The tight ends both comp to Travis Kelce, but who will make an impact first, and why exactly was Athony Johnson Jr. available late?

All of this, plus listener questions, as the offseason rebuild (or reload, or rese, or whatever) marches on.

On this very special episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, JR, and Tyler discuss the Rodgers trade, reminisce about the good times, and praise the unique Packer structure as a catalyst for winning the leverage battle. And for handily winning the trade.

They also preview the draft, and the likely packer targets, discuss dream scenarios, nightmare scenarios, the quarterbacks, the receivers, JSN, and just how much it matters to jump from the 15th pick to the 13th pick. 

Finally, they do their own little mini-draft, and as always, listener questions!

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul and Tex discuss the NFC conference championship weekend, and just how different the two game are. The AFC is dominated by surefire can’t miss quarterbacks with middling defenses, while the NFC will feature a few longshot QBs in perfectly designed systems, and some stellar defenses.

Will the Eagles’ run defense be their undoing? Can the 49ers shut down the outstanding Philly receiving corps? Can Patrick Mahomes overcome his high ankle sprain to best Joe Burrow and the Bengals? And just how much like the Shanny 49ers are the Packers, and what will they be in the post-Rodgers era?

The guys also take plenty of questions from listeners who want to know how soon that era will arrive, whether a tank is imminent, and if there may be a quarterback or two in the draft worth looking at. Finally, they take on the many sliding door scenarios that have cost Green Bay over the years, and explain the Cowboys ridiculous nearly-hook-and-ladder play!

Intro: Coming Home - Brother Derek

Intersitial: Fishin' in the Dark - Yellow Ostrich

Outro : Come Back from San Francisco - Magnetic Fields

On this episode of Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matt, and JR wrap up the Lions game, and the season by going over what went right, and the far longer list of what went wrong. Unsportsmanlike penalties, RPOs, Lazard jet sweeps, missed blitz pickups, and Aidan Hutchinson eating small offensive linemen all played a role in the untimely demise of the Green Bay Packers. JR also talks of the Lambeau experience itself, and just what the atmosphere was like. 

The guys also discuss nebulous concepts like who wanted it more, home field “advantage,” leadership, how everyone loves Jamaal Williams, and how much of the Joe Barry problem may actually be a Matt LaFleur problem, which may be more than is commonly understood. All of that, plus a fantastic bunch of listener questions!

On this week’s Reporting as Eligible, Paul, Matt, and JR discuss the Aaron Rodgers’ twitter hack, Keisean Nixon’s unbelievable brilliance, Jaire backing up his trash talk, and the risks of getting a big head, JJ Enagbare’s amazing rookie season, Justin Jefferson’s frustration, and Aaron struggling in a game where defensive backs were allowed to be physical.

They also preview the Lions, the emergence of James Houston, the return of DJ Chark, and the surprisingly strong play of Jared Goff. Hey, did you know the Packers took Amari Rodgers before Amon-Ra St. Brown?

Finally, they go over the Lions’ recent success, where there may be weaknesses, how the weather may actually help for once, and of course, listener questions, some of which are about wetting the middle of the field for strategic advantage.
