All right, let's dive into the run defense here real quick, Tim.

0:03.6

Rushing yards per game, the Packers are currently sitting not.

0:09.4

I'm glad you flash for Sean Gary up there, man, because there's been many plays this

0:13.9

year, especially down inside the five where he's really popped and run defense.

0:18.5

I feel like his game has gotten better on that side. Maybe his pass rush has taken a little bit of a step back, although he still leads the team in pressures. He's doubled anyone else on the team in pressures, and he leads the team in sacks. I feel like his run defense is really taking a step forward. Maybe that's more of that emphasis during practice, whether it's from the Ogabasi effect coming in from Boston College and helping Reberovich for the run defensive side, or if it's just Reberovich now being the defensive line coach.

0:46.3

You know, but something's clicked. The Packers are at 9th in the league right now.

0:49.7

It only allowing 105 rushing yards per game. It's awesome. It's awesome to talk about the Packers run defense.

0:58.6

We tried to talk about that in the past, and it was difficult because we didn't have one.

1:05.0

Now we have one, along with, you know, decent coverage. And like I said, top 10 defense, no matter how you,

1:12.8

how you slice it. And yeah, not getting killed in the run game is absolutely crucial. And you're

1:18.8

right, Rashon has stepped up. And, you know, Devonte Wyatt, when he plays within that system, he's

1:25.3

looked good on the inside. T.J. Slayton has been great against

1:28.4

the run this year. So things are starting to come together. And, you know, we are getting good

1:33.6

linebacker play in the run fits, which is something that's improved over last year. So I'm happy,

1:40.2

man. At least we've got it, right? We've got to run defense. Yeah. And here's the thing, too, like we're legit top 10 in rushing yards per game allowed. You go, okay, well, are they getting ran on a lot? They're getting ran on 11th most in the league at 41.4%, right? Or is that the fewest? That's the fewest. Okay. So that would make sense that there would be lower to the list there. So 22nd at 41.4% right? So the teams that are getting run on the most, Carolina Panthers run defense, man, I don't know if you've looked at it to him, but they're giving up 173 yards rushing per game. Imagine that, dude. That's crazy. So the Packers, maybe it's, do you guys feel like, and you let me know in the chat, do you feel like we're playing with the lead more often this year? Do you think it's that is the reason that teams are running less on us? Obviously, it's less effective. That's going to force people out of the running game as well. But it just seems like with the way the numbers stack up here,

2:35.6

I'm glad that this was actually how it shaked out because I was going,

2:39.1

wow, I did not expect them to get run on that least amount, obviously.

2:43.2

But 22nd in the league at 41.4% per game.

2:47.5

It just seems like we get them out of their running game really quick.

2:49.9

And then it's time to force a turnover in the passing game. Absolutely. I mean, that's complimentary football, too, right? You know, you take away that ability. It's not really taking it away, but you're basically forcing a team. If they got to play from behind, you know what time it is, you know, unless you're, you know, if you don't have Josh Jacob,

3:12.0

Sequin, or Derek Henry, then you're probably not going to run the ball down to two or three scores in a ballgame. So it certainly does help that, you know, we have been playing

3:17.3

with elite a little bit more than I think we did last year for sure. Yeah, let's see how many
