LeRoy Butler | NFL Hall of Famer

We welcome Hall of Fame and long time Packer defense of back LeRoy Butler to start with a story from last year's embarrassing start of the season for the Green Bay Packers ROI at the time I spoke to my grannie Helen, who was just shy of 100 years old and I asked her if she watch the Packers against the saints of this was last year to start the season and she said to me, I don't think they were trying very hard. So another game on the road this time is the season opener against the Vikings. LeRoy what's your assessment of what we saw from the Packers wall. A quick bid about your work going to worry. I think a lot of people know the protector may be, but it will go all the way by going there. When they drafted note LXXXVII and walked to the note are perfect and effective. I will go for global the offense is going to struggle but I think people cut down and wait. You can always hope so. Ultimately, you want very apprised by what you what they really will try that. Didn't stand up to what people expect to go off of the bar you will struggle, but the thought a lot about the plot how long will it take this new group of receivers and the offense of line to gets into a rhythm and groove also keeping in mind that Alan Lazar didn't play either on Sunday. You have to agree observations are your number one guy can play the game.

Go now go all the way back to the first Christian walk go out and drop the ball. Come back now you got to want to back the very capable of great game, you gotta figure out now what good at and what are we going to do because for the most part. What I know about OBD can help you too much about you got to grow up as on-the-job training. That's why no Aaron Rogers, welcoming God don't get to a people go to Google for inmate for week seven but is often like and I don't want you people tell you live. Please be lifted. Note that you have for the most part, how you move that moment with Christian watch and the rookie could've been a 75 yard grab likely would've been a touchdown that has to be for rookies the welcome to the NFL moments because it's not quite as easy as you might think about what we were hoping for him to replace the red know but you probably clean that up the young guy had to drop both part of the game and will probably never went back to that guy got understand now take advantage of your opportunity. Your opportunity to the difference between band nine and 811 and six or 25 or 1330. As you point out, Aaron Rogers is the two-time defending MVPs you would expect him and the Packers to rebound coming up in week number two.
