Mark Tauscher joins Kyle & Brust for his Packers State of the Union heading into Week 1. Tausch explains why he feels good about Jordan Love, the receiving weapons, Tucker Kraft and much of the defense, but has serious concerns about Green Bay’s offensive line and running back room. With Josh Jacobs unavailable, Tausch breaks down how Matt LaFleur can protect Love with a quicker passing game and why the quarterback may need to become the Packers’ biggest playmaker early in the season.
Plus, Tausch explains why he expects Micah Parsons to return sooner rather than later, what he needs to see from Lukas Van Ness in Parsons’ absence, and why Jonathan Gannon will have to manufacture pressure early in the season. He also reacts to Matt LaFleur potentially rotating offensive linemen and explains why constantly shuffling players can make it even harder for Green Bay to find its best five up front.
