| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet podcast. |
| 0:13.0 | I am your host and resident fanalyst as always Ryan Schlipp. |
| 0:17.3 | Check us out online, packernet.com. |
| 0:20.1 | Find me on Twitter pack underscore dat-dial. |
| 0:23.6 | Hokey-dokey. Well, the obvious big news, and it feels as though there's a ton of overreaction to this. |
| 0:33.6 | Jordan Love injured his thumb, finger, something, on his non-throwing hand um i haven't i'm just |
| 0:44.7 | getting into some of the notes so i haven't dug in a ton but the idea essentially is they're going to do a minor procedure he's going to be shut down for about a week |
| 0:59.6 | and then he should be fine there are really no reason to believe that he's going to um at this point |
| 1:08.2 | miss any time period uh the only thing I could see being upset about is if you |
| 1:15.3 | believed that he coulda woulda should have been playing in these preseason games and may not |
| 1:20.3 | be able to. Number one, I don't even think that that's true. He would likely be out this next |
| 1:26.5 | week but could play in the next game if they wanted him to but also |
| 1:29.6 | i i don't think the plan is for him to really be in any more preseason games and i'm completely |
| 1:35.7 | fine with that anyways so i don't think anything really changes aside from the fact that he's |
| 1:41.5 | not going to practice for about a week and i i just don't super care |
| 1:46.5 | i really don't um so i mean you never want to see your quarterback hurt but you know the the |
| 1:52.7 | doom and gloom of the like oh here we go another injury season's over shut them down we need |
| 1:59.1 | to find a new quarterback. You guys are so freaking |
| 2:01.7 | exhausting with some of this stuff. It's scary, it's not good, but it's also why I don't want |
| 2:06.8 | him in preseason games, and I don't really care about the practice and all that kind of stuff, |
| 2:11.3 | because if you can get his thumb taken care of and shut him down, we're guaranteed for a perfectly |
| 2:16.7 | healthy Jordan Love going into week one, and to me, that is the most important thing. Well, he might not be ready. You're right. He might not be ready. And if you put him in the preseason games, he's still probably not going to be ready. These things take a long time, all right, to ramp up, to be ready, to build your your identity there's so many changes and so many things |
