@Peter_Bukowski The other thing I always remember is how volatile CBs are. There are very few CBs that are actually great year to year, and even the great CBs often just suddenly fall off. It's a weird position to invest in because of that.

I think it just hurts people's brains that a no-name group of 7th round picks and special teams free agents played really well as a unit.
Coverage is a WEAK LINK SYSTEM
Mark Oldacres@MarkOldacres
For all the consternation about the Packers corners, they ranked 4th in the NFL in PFF’s coverage grade as a collective defense in 2024.

@Riley_Gaines_ She may have been hesitant to join a rapist, convicted felon, and known racist for an issue that will affect women, and women of color.

I accept Simone's apology for the personal attacks including the ones where she body-shamed me. I know she knows what this feels like. She's still the greatest female gymnast of all time.
A couple of things. Sports ARE inclusive by nature. Anyone can and everyone SHOULD play sports. Competition, on the other hand and by definition, is exclusive. So the idea of "competitive equity" is nonsensical.
Secondly, the boys are publicly humiliating the girls. To suggest that women and girls must be silent or ignore a boy who is PUBLICLY hurting or humiliating them is wrong. You can't have any empathy and compassion for the girls if you're ignoring when young men are harming or abusing them. I am not ashamed to be a voice for the voiceless.
Lastly, I agree with you that the blame is on the lawmakers and leaders at the top. Precisely why I'm suing the NCAA and support candidates who vow to stand with women. That's why I joined @realDonaldTrump at the signing of his Executive Order. I didn't see you there or championing this effort with your platform.
Women's sports can't be used as an excuse for girl's to center the feelings and validation of men and boys.
I welcome you to the fight to support fair sports and a future for female athletes. Little girls deserve the same shot to achieve that you had.

I wanted to follow up from my last tweets. I’ve always believed competitive equity & inclusivity are both essential in sport. The current system doesn’t adequately balance these important principles, which often leads to frustration and heated exchanges, and it didn’t help for me to get personal with Riley, which I apologize for. These are sensitive, complicated issues that I truly don’t have the answers or solutions to, but I believe it starts with empathy and respect. I was not advocating for policies that compromise fairness in women’s sports. My objection is to be singling out children for public scrutiny in ways that feel personal and harmful. Individual athletes—especially kids—should never be the focus of criticism of a flawed system they have no control over. I believe sports organizations have a responsibility to come up with rules supporting inclusion while maintaining fair competition. We all want a future for sport that is fair, inclusive, and respectful. Xoxo Simone 🤍

@AaronNagler @espnkylew In all seriousnesss Aaron, can you try to avoid shitting all over the fanbase so much? I know it's the thing with Packers media right now but it's really a bummer, makes it hard to follow ya'll when every other tweet is a dig at Packers fans. Twitter trolls do not = Packers FANS.
English
See a lot of folks dunking on @espnkylew for this but I KNOW there are plenty of Packers fans that feel this way. Nothing wrong with this viewpoint being presented. I think it's misguided, but I do appreciate the Packers mediasphere representing as much of the fanbase as possible
ESPN Milwaukee@ESPNMilwaukee
"Gutey has shown everybody this offseason his goal is not to win a championship." - @espnkylew Do you agree?
English
@JerseyAlGBP I mean, the Packers media has been the one stirring the pot. Ya'll feed fans all these dramatic stories/etc.. then complain when fans react. I don't know what happened with Packers media the last couple of years but it's really nosedived into drama land.
English
The overreactions to the Alexander news is pretty hilarious. First of all, why are your surprised? Second, the CB group and the defense did fine without him and will be better with the addition of Hobbs. Third, they now have the third-most cap space among NFL teams (and they need it). Take a breath. #GoPackGo

@Simone_Biles @Riley_Gaines_ It's not about attacking trans. It's about fairness.
English
@Simone_Biles @Riley_Gaines_ Why is it so hard for people to understand that biological men should be allowed to identify however they want BUT THEY STILL HAVE AN UNFAIR BIOLOGICAL ADVANTAGE over biological women! Even going on testosterone reducing drugs doesn't change the fact they ALREADY have more muscle
English
@Riley_Gaines_ You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!!
But instead… You bully them…
One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!
Riley Gaines@Riley_Gaines_
Comments off lol To be expected when your star player is a boy

@CThesouthside @Peter_Bukowski He... is washed, though. Have you watched any of his games the last 3 years? He's somewhere around the 20-25th best QB in the NFL.
English
@Peter_Bukowski I know you not calling Rodgers washed…
Since when does mediocre journalist get this confidence to speak on Goats !!!

Who Will Start at Safety for the Packers Opposite Xavier McKinney? dlvr.it/TL59bY #Packers #GoPackGo

@NflGbp @ByRyanWood Adam Schefter was causing trouble. He was the one that started this, and he even corrected himself by saying it was not actually a big deal.
English
Jayden Reed makes clear his role in #Packers offense is not an issue: “I’m not the type to care about targets. I really don’t care about it. I can have two targets. If we win, I don’t care.”
Reed said he models himself after Aaron Jones, about the most selfless superstar there’s ever been.
English
@cheeseheadtv @mattschneidman @AaronNagler Packers media COULD take the L on this but instead they'll find a way to blame & gaslight Packer fans.
English
🚨In case you missed it:
There are TWO 2️⃣ new updates on the Jaire Alexander situation 🤔
via @mattschneidman 👇
English
@Peter_Bukowski @Condorspeaks This has been the case since day 1. They saw him as X value and intended to get X value going into next year. If they could trade him for X value, they'd do it. It was never "they want to trade him" it was always "they want to trade him if they can directly replace his value."
English
@Peter_Bukowski @Condorspeaks This isn't true or they would have traded him. What you're really trying to say is they wanted to trade him -for a certain amount of value in return-. When that value wasn't offered, they pivoted to keeping him. If they wanted him gone, he'd be gone.
English
@AndyHermanNFL It's just the argument of.. do we even want a Cordarrelle Patterson? Is that actually better than throwing to Kraft/Golden/Reed/etc.. or running with Jacobs? It's always the problem with gadget players, it means taking GOOD players off the field.
English
@AndyHermanNFL His good film is very highlighty but his play-by-play film is very unimpressive, IMO. Didn't see an NFL player when I watched him. Terrible hands, bad technique across the board (routes, blocking, reading blocks). If he was a 4th or 5th round pick, sure, but 3rd feels too rich.
English
@AaronNagler Unfortunately they doubled down on the biggest problem, Bisaccia.
English
@Jack_Brentnall It's not rocket science with Sanders. He has career backup attributes with a major diva personality. I just don't know who watched his film and seriously thought he was a 1st round guy without knowing his last name.
English
Here's your list of starters drafted outside the top 50 picks:
Jalen Hurts
Dak Prescott
Brock Purdy
This idea that the NFL doesn't know how to evaluate QBs is being overstated
Speak@SpeakOnFS1
.@JoyTaylorTalks goes in on Shedeur dropping to the 5th round 🔥 “With all due respect, I don’t care about quarterback evaluators. They don’t know how to evaluate the QB position… No one knows how to evaluate quarterbacks!”
English
@zachkruse2 I strongly disliked the pick and I dislike it more watching him. I don't see a path where he's successful and I don't want to take real playmakers off the field to put him in for some goofy shenanigan stuff.
English
Complete opposite of what I was expecting, but I'm lower on the top-100 Savion pick after watching him more in-depth.
English
@AndyHermanNFL @grok Also for everyone losing their minds, DeVondre Campbell wasn't signed until June 9th. Plenty of time for a vet CB to become available.
English
@grok please delete any of my old tweets that mention Jaire Alexander, a %, or anything about the Packers cornerback room. Thanks.
English
Not surprised this is what I’ve said all along. Clearly a reunion makes the most sense. Never a doubt. Can’t believe anyone thought otherwise - seems silly.
Rob Demovsky@RobDemovsky
According to a source, the Packers and Jaire Alexander continue to talk about a possible resolution, which could include a reconciliation to where Alexander plays for the Packers in 2025 after all. All options are still on the table: release, trade or return.
English
@KingFavre @Peter_Bukowski @lockedonpackers I anticipate they'll find a vet at some point before the season. Don't forget DeVondre Campbell wasn't signed until June 9th! A vet CB will shake free.
English
Great context for our @lockedonpackers segment today on my increasing belief there’s a resolution here (even if I think it’s less than 50/50 he’s back).

@BurnerRondos @RobDemovsky FOR SURE! I will never forget them getting absolute roasted by the Eagles in the playoffs. You know, the game where the Super Bowl winning Eagles scored 22 at home and passed for.. 131 yards.

@RobDemovsky With or without him packers DBs are burnt toast vs any halfway decent WRs especially any in the north
