00:00A good one in the North this weekend, Carver High at Lambeau Field with the Vikes and Pack.

00:09It certainly is a big game early in the season in the NFC North.

00:14The Vikings of course are 3-0 off to a great start.

00:18They head to Lambeau to see the Packers who maybe are going to get Jordan Love back this

00:23week.

00:24He's been doing a little bit more every week at practice.

00:28Either way, they are 2-0 with Malik Willis as the starter.

00:32But here is Kevin O'Connell talking about his Vikings, Scotty.

00:35They are 3-0 and kind of a little bit the same thing as what Rodgers was saying before,

00:39but not as blunt as he is.

00:42They need to keep their focus, even though they're 3-0, they haven't accomplished anything

00:45yet.

00:46My challenge to the team is, once again, last Sunday means absolutely nothing.

00:50The first three games of the season mean absolutely nothing if we don't start, you know, continuing

00:55maintaining our play style.

00:58But hopefully soon enough we can start talking about it being the standard of how we play

01:02every week.

01:03Well, there you have it, you know, execution, go do it.

01:07Like, you know, all the other stuff is fluff.

01:12Jordan Love, again, this was today's report, Scotty.

01:15Practicing in pads.

01:16Now, again, he practiced in pads last Thursday and he didn't play.

01:21So I still don't know if a lot of this is just a show from Matt LaFleur sending him

01:25out there every week in pads, making the other team think he's going to play.

01:29But that's the situation with Jordan Love right now.

01:32This is a flat three now.

01:34Saw some two-and-a-halves early in the week, maybe the books are starting to believe Love

01:37is playing.

01:38Packers minus three, 43-and-a-half.

01:41Yeah, I guess I don't know what to believe, other than I still think it's Willis.

01:47Because it sounds like he's in pads, but no one's allowed to hit him.

01:50So if he's got a bad knee, he's not going to be able to take hits.

01:56It's that simple.

01:57So the risk is not worth the reward of what?

02:01They beat the Vikings at Lambeau Field and then what?

02:05He's done for the year because he decided to play and somebody sacked him.

02:10You want this guy not to be touched.

02:14And I know this is a division game and those mean more, as they always like to say.

02:19But I think, Scotty, them winning the last two weeks without him, I think it just builds

02:24them up a little credit where they don't have to play him this week.

02:27They've won a couple games without him.

02:29They could take a lot.

02:30I know you don't want to lose a division game, but I think they can put Willis out there

02:34for one more week against the Vikings and make sure that Love is 100% healthy.

02:40Your season's still in good shape.

02:42You're two-and-one right now.

02:44Why rush the guy back if you don't have to do that?

02:46They actually are hard to beat at Lambeau Field.

02:50Yes, they absolutely are.

02:53Very hard to do, that's for sure.
