Well Wes, once again you made my coffee taste a little better this morning. Great article on Josiah Deguara. A good friend of mine is a UCLA alum with season tickets. He saw the Cincinnati game last year, told me this guy was a beast and that we should be stoked to have him. I'm looking forward to seeing how he and Aaron Rodgers work together. If he can find those soft spots in the defense it could be a security blanket for Aaron. Wouldn't that be nice. Thanks again you guys for all the work you do.
The fact that last year's Packers team was shown a highlight of Josiah Deguara in the film room (chasing down the UCLA defender after an interception), and now he's on the team, still blows me away. That's the type of draft connection story I'd never heard before.

I have always been a huge proponent of locker-room chemistry as a major contributor to success. On a percentage basis, how would you rate these three categories to championship level success? Raw talent, game-day mental preparedness, locker-room chemistry. I like 15-60-25. If you're not mentally prepared on game day, you're susceptible to going home a loser.
I'd be more inclined to say 30-40-30. You can't win in the NFL without sufficient talent, no matter how prepared or connected you are as a team. The latter two both help players individually and a team as a whole maximize talent, but they can't compensate for a lack of it, not at this level.

In regard to young players, I read somewhere (apology for not knowing the original author): "Talent can't be taught, but it can be awakened." Looking at last year, I trust LaFleur and his staff to provide plenty of awakening this season.
That's their job, in furtherance of my previous point.

How does Jordon Love's hand size compare to Favre's and Rodgers'?
Love's hands measured 10½ inches at the combine, one-eighth of an inch larger than Favre's.

Is the biggest jump in player development expected from Year 1 to Year 2? If so, why?
Usually, yes, because the biggest mental and physical transitions have been made. Second-year players have learned an NFL playbook, adjusted to the speed of the game, and gotten a full offseason of rest and recovery after the rookie gauntlet that runs nonstop from the college bowl game through the all-star games, combine, pre-draft process, OTAs, training camp, and the longest football season they've ever played.

Packers' own Kevin King named PFF's best red-zone cornerback for 2019. It made my day.
Two fourth-quarter end-zone interceptions will help that cause.
Ryan from Appleton, WI
It seems that Kevin King is fairly low on the priority list when seeing next year's FA class. With that said, losing King would seem to make CB one of the top positions of need next offseason. Odds the Packers try to sign King to a long-term deal during the season?
In a perfect world, the Packers would love to get all their front-line players in contract years signed to extensions, but it won't work that way. I would guess King is looking to stay healthy for a second straight year, play well again, and command much bigger dollars than he could secure right now.

Jaire Alexander's young career is off to a stellar start, especially when you factor in that he is typically matched up against the opponent's No. 1 WR. What improvement would you need to see in his game to be able to say he has taken the next step?
More interceptions and more consistency. I'm sure three picks in his first two years in the league is a disappointment to him. He really smoothed out his game after the rough day in Dallas last season, but now what qualifies as a bad day has to be better than that, if you get my drift.

For those of us without access to NFL Network, will Davante Adams' episode be available on this website? PS: Is that the correct use of an apostrophe for his name? I always get that rule confused when the name ends in "s."
The episode is right here. And yes, you're correct, at least according to my own rule of thumb. Which is, to make a name ending in "s" possessive, add apostrophe only if the name is two syllables, apostrophe plus another "s" if just one. Adams' episode, Wes's lunch, etc.
