ESPN Radio’s Michelle Smallmon joins Kyle & Brust after the Packers’ nightmare opener and admits Green Bay is making it increasingly difficult for her to defend them on Unsportsmanlike. Smallmon still believes in Jordan Love after he battled through disastrous offensive line play, but says the quarterback, Matt LaFleur and the entire offense need to be better after extending their losing streak to six games.
Michelle also revisits the story of how she became a Packers fan after the Rams left St. Louis, including nearly choosing the Bears before leaving them at the altar. Now Bears fans are trying to recruit her back after Green Bay’s recent struggles, but she’s sticking with the Packers for life.
Plus, how much longer can she defend Matt LaFleur? Smallmon explains why she supported Green Bay bringing him back, but says penalties, play calling, preparation and repeated collapses ultimately fall on the head coach. And if the Packers somehow follow the Vikings collapse by losing to the Jets, defending LaFleur on Monday morning could become nearly impossible.
