Summary
They want Big Sal to panic about the defense. He's not panicking. He's done the research.
This offense finished fourth in expected points added per play in 2025 — while Tucker Kraft missed time, Christian
Watson missed half the year, Jaden Reed missed half the year, Josh Jacobs played on one working leg from November on,
and Clayton Tune took actual NFL snaps. Strip out the Clayton Tune disaster and this offense was tied for number one in
efficiency in the entire NFL. Through all that carnage.
Now it's 2026. Craft is back. Watson is healthy. Reed is healthy. Jacobs has two working legs. Golden is a thing. It's a
complete offense for the first time in a very long time, and Sal wants to know why exactly Packer Nation is panicking
about the first four games without Micah Parsons.
The defense will be shorthanded early. That's real. But the schedule gave Green Bay a runway — Vikings, Jets, Falcons,
Buccaneers — and this offense doesn't need to be flashy. It needs to be surgical, eat clock, and keep opposing offenses
on the sideline. Josh Jacobs scored 31 touchdowns in 34 games on a busted knee. Jordan Love is genuinely elite. Micah
Parsons is coming back in October like a freight train that was briefly delayed at the station.
Big Sal's calling it. The window is open.
