8AM: Micah Parsons Is Gushing Over the Packers

The crew reacts to Micah Parsons showing plenty of confidence in his Packers teammates, including his prediction that Green Bay could field one of the NFL’s best defenses and his defense of Jordan Love. They debate how good the Packers can be without Parsons early in the season, what it will take to win the NFC North and whether the offense or defense will ultimately rank higher. Attention then turns to the Packers’ joint practice with the Cardinals, with Chewy highlighting the offensive line, young cornerbacks and Green Bay’s pass rush as areas to watch. The hour wraps with a discussion about the Big Ten and SEC blocking players from returning to college after entering the professional ranks and the larger issues surrounding NCAA authority in the modern era.
