I prefer Clouzot, myself. 
I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to not listen to national sports heads break down NFL teams when I'm stuck in Northen CA traffic to and from work each day. Apparently 270 channels doesn't afford XM enough opportunities to broadcast something worth 140 minutes of listening time. Sometimes it's all there is.
Anyways, the narrative on the 2016 Packers from the 35,000 foot view is the offense needs to score many, many points to cover for the defense.
I think the 35,000 foot view around Thanksgiving will be about the surprise of this GB defense. And I'll be doing my best not to listen to that either.
I've said before my biggest concern about the defense is the D-Line & lack of depth there.
I too believe the defense will surprise, although I do expect the offense to score & lessen the requirement for a "Championship Defense".
They don't have to be 2000 Ravens good if the Pack offense scores 500 points this year.
However, if the defense is that good, nobody is beating the Green Bay Packers.....N-O-B-O-D-Y!
Hate to lay so much expectations on Kenny Clark but I think Daniels will do everything he can to pull the kid along. If Clark is good this defense is good. If he's better than good then fuggedaboutit.
Did I mention how wrong I was about Mike Daniels and what a crazy great DL pick he was?
It's no secret Capers is an aggressive DC when this team is up with a decent lead. Stats show it, game film shows it. It's also no secret his success relies on takeaways and he has a secondary the likes of which we probably haven't seen since early 2011. If this offense returns to it's 2014 form and the DB's can get INT's, then this defense will appear to be "championship" like.
If Rodgers and co can quickly go up 10+ points, then opposing offenses will quickly go 1 dimensional and Capers knows that as well. Pin their ears back. Send in the wolves.

If his face was much thinner and he had dark glasses on he would like Richard Petty in that outfit.

Packers are undefeated in Super Bowls played in Texas
also: looks like Rodgers got a belt/buckle worthy of a double check

An alternative look not that there's anything rong with that. The buckle especially.
That's not Rodgers. That's that Limey dude. Wiggles worth, or something like that. Looks like Aaron, but throws like a Vikings QB.

Have you tried podcasts? There's a ton of good ones out there.
For the Packers the best feed of them all is the main feed from packernet
That one feed delivers pretty much all the radio spots from the local reporters, the Cohen and Mcginn podcast, and the Between the Lines podcast with Chris Havel and Sean Jones (fairly new and very good, imo) .
There's also packers unscripted from the Packers site with Wes Hodkiewicz and Mike Spofford.
I've also been enjoying the UK packers podcast. A UK guy and an Irish fellow talking about the Packers.
Holmgren goes on the ian and puck show once or twice a week. Lots of Seahawks talk but also old stories about his time in gb. He's as moody as ever but also very knowledgeable. Spots last only 10-15 minutes.
If you're on an android phone download the podcast addict app to manage them. There's a free version that has some unobtrusive ads in it or for $3 you can't get an ad free version.
The Green Bay Packers already had the easiest strength of schedule heading into the 2016 NFL season based on 2015 win percentages.
With the Vikings losing Teddy Bridgewater for the season following Tuesday's knee injury, the Packers' schedule just got even easier.
According to ESPN's Football Power Index (NFL FPI), the Packers are projected to win 10.3 games and have a 79.9 percent chance of making the playoffs, both best in the NFL.
Before Bridgewater's injury, the Packers were the FPI favorites in 15 of their 16 scheduled games. The lone exception was in Week 2, when the Packers travel to Minnesota. That game has now shifted in favor of the Packers, making them the favorite in all 16 games entering the season.
The Packers' schedule is helped by a divisional rotation against the NFC East and AFC South. Neither division had a 10-game winner last season, and only the Colts rank in the top half in the league in FPI entering the 2016 season.
With the Packers boasting one of the easiest schedules in the NFL, it should come as no surprise that they have the highest odds of any NFC team to make the Super Bowl. FPI currently gives the Packers a 65 percent chance to win the NFC North, up from 55 percent before the injury; a 22 percent chance to make the Super Bowl; and an 11 percent chance to win it.
Loss at Jax.
I feel it.
Eeyore just dropped $450 to watch that live.

Not sure Hundley's actually better than Callahan either.

I don't know who JS is but he/she must be a champion idot. Almost every QB in the 2nd year in a program will be much better than any rookie.

Exactly. No one is going to sign Callahan to be their #2 QB based on his performance vs. mainly 2nd & 3rd string defenders, playing in an offensive system that is not their's.
Vice sports with Davante in NYC. No clue if it's good. Didn't watch it yet.
Disagree on Callahan. Bet he ends up on the Vikings.

He joined a school yard football game, dropped a sure TD on his 1st route.
He talks to a X4 poster starting at the 4:20 mark

But....is he that much worse than Sanchez, Geno Smith,and some of the other guys that are passing for QB talent right now?
I'd take Callahan ahead of any of those guys. Probably why I'm not a GM, but that's the way I see it.

Ted continues to entertain.
Worth a listen or re-listen especially at 2:25 mark.
Ted aka Alonzo from Training Day.
Brett, Deanna and the Favre clan will pull up in camper at the stoplight next to Brett's steakhouse. Then the page will be turned to Eliot.
