Wilde: Banks’ Progress and Love’s Leadership

Jason Wilde joins Homer with an encouraging Packers update after Aaron Banks took part in team periods for a second straight day. Wilde says it was surprising because Banks had previously talked about knee soreness after strenuous football activity, but the progress is meaningful even if the Packers still need to manage him carefully. He also discusses Tucker Kraft continuing to practice without a long-term deal, Zaire Franklin bringing needed energy to the defense, and the way Franklin and Kraft reflect the team’s competitive edge. Wilde then breaks down Jordan Love’s leadership style, saying Love may not be fiery like Aaron Rodgers, but he is consistent, authentic and respected for being himself. He says that kind of leadership can still motivate teammates, especially if Love’s play takes another step this season.
