Always love talking ball with my former colleague at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal: longtime beat man, Tom Silverstein.

Nobody covers the team beter than “Spoon,” and you can read all of his work right here.

Here on the Go Long Podcast, we get updates and analysis on everything Packers…

* Jordan Love enters Year 3 as the starter. How is he adjusting his game? The Packers quarterback opened up on how the 2024 injuries affected his running. One year ago, we billed him a future all-time great. It’s a massive season for the $220 million quarterback.

* How will rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden factor into the offense? Silverstein believes Matt LaFleur sees shades of Deebo Samuel in Savion Williams, too.

* Who leads the Packers in receiving this season? Our friend’s answer may surprise you.

* This roster constructed by GM Brian Gutekunst is strong. This is a year-in, year-out playoff team. But who are the A-to-A+ players that get Green Bay to a Super Bowl?

* Matt LaFleur is entering his seventh season. As analyzed in the aftermath of his latest playoff loss, it’s not easy for coaches this deep into a tenure with a win to go all the way. His job’s safe but the pressure’s always high at 1265 Lombardi Ave.

For those asking, YES, the “Ty & Bob Pod” with Bob McGinn will return for another season. Cannot wait.

I’ll share details as we close in on the season.

Enjoy.
