Dwood I’m going to start with you on this one can love repeat his Wild Card performance versus the 49ers he could I’m not going to disrespect what Jordan love is done anyone who’s watched Jordan love the second half of the Season tell me a quarterback play that play better

Than Jordan love the second half of the Season Jord Jordan love has been nothing short of phenomenal the second half of the season and when you have the the Run game The Run game to go along with it Aaron Jones over the last four games

Over 100 yards in each of the last four games you know what that does that only enhances the play action pass and that’s where Jordan love has been slicing and dicing folks out here and so when you go up against the the San Francisco 49ers okay obviously the number one thing you

Got to do is you got to contend with that that front their fronted they have one since they made that trade that trade for Chase young they have literally had one of the best front fors at getting after the quarterback okay but guess what the Green Bay Packers do

Well they protect the quarterback well they have because they have one of the best offens line in the National Football League so listen what we saw from Green Bay was not a fluke against the Dallas Cowboys it’s a team it’s a young team that’s coached ex extraordinarily well with Matt lefur as

Steve they like to say Matt lefur like they are coached extremely well on offense they got a ton a ton of young Playmakers on offense that’s they’re going to give San Francisco 49ers some problems on the back end here’s what I’m going to say I’m not picking to beat the

San Francisco 49ers because I think where the the where the deficit is where the real Advantage is greens Bay defense I don’t think Green Bay’s defense is going to be able to hold down San Francisco 49’s offense with all those Playmakers but I do think Jordan love

Will get after the San Francisco offense I mean San Francisco defense they can but they won’t I mean they’re not doing that they’re not doing that it ends this weekend for the Green Bay Bankers major props to Matt Flor who by the way has done an exceptional job this

Season there was the time when we looked like they were on nose dive and and I got on them riding the coattails of Aaron Rogers I was wrong based on what we saw last weekend and the job that he has done as this season has progressed with Jordan love over the last nine

Games I believe it’s like 21 touchdowns just one interceptions I mean this brother has really really Bal Jordan love I believe in this brother he’s a stud the future is in good hands in Green Bay with Jordan love as their quarterback damn it he looks a little

Bit like Amry Rogers throwing that damn football off his back foot you know I mean this brother’s special he got he’s got skills make no mistake about it so give Green Bay a boatload of credit give Coach Matt lafl a boatload of credit I have no doubt about that I don’t know if

We gonna see Aaron Jones running the football like that again I can’t see that happening not against San Francisco and if you can’t run the football that way it’s going to put more pressure on you to throw which is going to give those Brothers an opportunity green law

And and and Boler and the rest of the crew warning those boys an opportunity to come at you I understand San Francisco’s secondary has look suspect from time to time but up until Baltimore beat them down we thought they were the best team in football I think they

Remind us of that this weekend I think offensively they put Green Bay in a hole and obviously Green Bay is going to find itself having to dig itself out which means they’re going to drop back to pass and Jordan love is going to be target practice for that front seven and I

Think it’s going to get severely compromised Green Bay goes down we applaud them for the season they had we definitely applaud them for sending those damn Cowboys home and making the Cowboy fans across the globe as miserable as I love to see them be I thank them for them their efforts their

Production it is very very very much appreciated but it ends now you go home San Francisco goes to the NFC Championship Game Jordan love ain’t going to do much this this this coming weekend have his moment no Stephen that’s where you’re wrong cuz here’s the thing I expect San

Francisco’s going to win this game but that don’t mean that Jordan love can’t you got to give respect to the hottest quarterback in football like Damen said since week 11 nobody has a better qbr and you also have to give props to the hottest play caller in the NFL which is

Matt laflor think about this this is the first year that Matt laflor has been able to implement his offense not Aaron Rogers and that hacket offense but actual his offense and you saw that against the Dallas Cowboys how they put defenses in a bind by being able to

Marry the Run game and the pass plays think about the touchdown of Luke Musgrove the formation the action there was a run play to Aaron Jones couple of plays earlier on that drive that’s what led to Luke Musgrove being wide open and the closest nearest Defender was the

Post safety 25 yards away that’s what Matt laflor is capable of doing and Damien talked about the pass protection for Jordan love yeah a lot of it has to do with the Personnel for the Green Bay Packers offensive line but it’s also the formations that Matt laflor is building

Out for his offense it’s clear that there is a protection first mentality keep Jordan love clean and he’s going to look like ladies love Cool J not Todd Smith but Jordan love last week dropping back licking his lips at the Dallas Cowboys secondary that’s what he’s going

To look like the San Francisco the San Francisco 49 you really you compared Jordan love to LL that’s where he at that’s what hey if he going to play like that that’s what I’m going to call him that’s how good he was against the Dallas Cowboys that’s how

Good he was you could say yeah that’s how good it was but that damn sure ain’t GNA happen against the San Francisco 49ers you can cancel that dream I don’t give a damn how much they try to protect him what the hell is wrong with you

Gonna bring up my boy LL like that with Jordan love L has LL has withstood the tested time SP in decades one of the greatest artists and entertainers this nation this world has ever seen and a dude that show up in his first playoff game playing against them damn Cowboys all of

A sudden he deserved he deserved to be mentioned in the same breath as l i mean what the hell is wrong with you for shame is blasphemy okay but it’s all right it’s all right I understand this I understand how you feeling I get all of

That but it ends now I got mad respect for what I’m seeing from Green Bay but you right the very youth that you’re applauding is what I think works against them in a game of this magnitude because it’s not just the quarterback that’s young it’s their receivers who are young

Too got skills no doubt about it but they’re relatively young and I think that’s going to play a role in all of this as well Green Bay goes down Stephen A that L Cool J impersonation pretty come on man yeah I don’t understand it man what’s up you

Can’t say that about you know novice deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as l you got most rap artists who’ve been around for a decade that don’t deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as ll let alone a damn novice football player who’s really good

By the way he really really good I want to mention CU you mentioned his qbr his 99.3 total qbr is the highest in a playoff game since the metric began now the camera’s goingon to be rolling everybody be everybody be looking to see if Jordan love licks his lips because Chris [Applause] yeah
