Packers vs. Eagles: FIRST-EVER NFL Game in Brazil – Week 1 Showdown! | Football 301

let's start with that Friday night game in Brazil it is the Packers technically at the Eagles who are minus two are favored I don't know if there's HomeField advantage that applies here probably not I don't really know how how you how you handle that Friday Night Lights in Brazil I tried to find the Portuguese pronunciation or or how you say Friday Night Lights in Portuguese and there's two that came up like the TV show was 2day play paa Victoria and I was like sure I'm going with that that one's easier for me to say so that's what I had we're going to go we're going to just kind of point out uh why we're watching and a thing or two that we're focusing on when these teams are playing and something that will kick us off into these games so Charles when you're watching the Packers and the Eagles what are you looking at what's the number one thing that stands out to you are you just keeping track of or a couple things uh I guess the first thing is something we've talked about all season long or all summer long is uh Jaylen her's first game with Kellen Moore as offensive coordinator versus finally see it and like the thing with the Packers defense is I can't tell like how good I think this unit's going to be as a whole because I feel like they they have some strengths but they have some pretty low lows like the linebacker situation I wouldn't really be afraid of that like even the like the interior pass rush I I don't know like I feel' be good at stopping the run but I think we're going to learn a lot about you know Jaylen Herz and Kell Moore and how that fit is going so far because you know from afar it looks like you're trying to shove a you know a circle into a square peg it just doesn't really seem like it fits and then like for Green Bay I just I think this will just be a good test for the defense because even with the the amount of questions we have about the Eagles offense it's still tough like to defend an offense with AJ Brown Devon Smith Sequon Barkley Jaylen Herz at times like so you're you're going to learn a lot about both teams I think as they both tried to establish themselves as uh Championship contenders yeah it really it's a great Proving Ground game like to just to start us off you don't there's going to be week one overreactions especially Friday night Island game are you kidding there's it's the next two nights are going to be insane with the the reactions that come from it but it's fun I I'm excited to watch these quarterbacks of course quarterbacks were stuff to prove in different ways Jordan love is this real I think it is but still you got to do it you can't just do it once or twice uh Jaylen Herz with a new offensive coordinator like you mentioned with Kell Moore that whole offensive system by the way first person I've heard ever baby say a circle peg into a square ho I've always said square peg into a round hole and so that was I wonder if that's a regional thing that was that was new for me yeah yeah sorry you said that and I I really peaked me up PE my interest I was like what was that um but I I I'm excited of course watch these quarterbacks but what what you mentioned the Packers defense against the Eagles offense is kind of what I'm more keen on watching because it's going to be the single high defense uh with the new defense coordinator Kell Moore he's very kind of traditional how he packages plays so it's single high two high kills so it's like if you're two high they run these plays if it's single high which is what the Packers run this is where the Box count comes tied in if it's single high that usually means more of a loaded box to stop the run as well uh that he will kill to more passes or certain types of run more outside hitting runs so single high against AJ Brown and Devon Smith isn't my favorite way to live like that's not like what I want to see but let's let's see it like maybe the funkiness gets them sometimes if you throw a different pitch than they're used to every week it can work but they've had time to prep kellmore is pretty good at prepping watch week one last year against the Dolphins defense when they they were keeping toe you going toe for toe with the dolphins offense so I I think in theory this defense should be better against the run just because they have more bodies naturally there even if the linebacker play like you say is a little eh but it also could be Eagles offensive line and saquin against what has been histor or recent history a bad run defense but hopefully in theory is a better against the run but we'll see how those matches are on single up outside so Jerry alexand or is jry playing yeah he's playing right I don't even remember he should be it's always a question though yeah you're right I know I I should have that injury but I'm pretty sure yeah they're they're they're healthy on defense yeah they're healthy yeah I think they are I think they're healthy pretty healthy I know they've had some o line stuff but yeah they're healthy it's uh no I know that's that's a great matchup man like you know Stokes is finally back in there like DB Stokes on like their receivers is what I'm I'm interested in cuz I I feel like that could be a total wild card cuz he's missed so much time I know and he's said flashes and then it was just he missed time I know it's I know it's good yeah he's another guy I mean they DB room they had all these different guys stepped up and then they added to it so um that's why they were able to trade guys away in the middle of the season last year but yeah this this is a great early kind of gauge for these teams as they kind of get into the season then we move on to a divisional matchup we're getting Sunday now I got one more thing on Packers if I was a Packers fan watching Boston College just beat the absolute crap out of Florida State this weekend I might be a little bit little bit red flag red flag because these are the same guys that Jeff Halley had last year when they weren't doing anything and they just beat the crap out of a team that even in a dimin state where Florida state did still they still have a lot more Talent than Boston College so did we just get worse to jump he didn't call he didn't call offensive plays so you know o'ri organized what I saw last year yeah no yeah no you're right you're right and it's and when I saw in the preseason I was like all right you always want to just be like all right in preseason you can see what the early install is if that's what it means by being vanilla so I was curious if it was like all right he's back in the NFL he's not going to just go all single high you know and kind of was so that's where I was like all right this is what you're doing there's only a couple guys doing it like this I think some of the blitz stuff's pretty cool but uh again got to see it and you're going against again they'll test Stalin and they'll test uh Jurgens at Center too and Herz you have to cuz that's been kind of shown what how you get attack hers so
