Alright Packers fans, welcome back in. Cal Hutson here, and folks, it is Friday, October 2nd, and there is a LOT going on with the Green Bay Packers. This is one of those weeks where you almost don't know where to start because it feels like every time you refresh the Packers news, there's another story. The Packers are 1-2, they're heading down to Tampa Bay for a Week 4 matchup against the Buccaneers, the offensive line has basically been thrown into a blender, Green Bay has added veteran after veteran up front, Kevin Zeitler is now officially a Packer, and then on the other side of the equation, we've got the brutal news that Jayden Reed is going to miss the rest of the season after undergoing neck surgery. So yeah, there's a lot to talk about today.

And I want to start with the thing that I think is going to determine whether the Packers can actually get this season moving in the right direction, and that's the offensive line. Because let's be honest, folks, the offensive line has been a problem. We saw it against Atlanta. We saw the struggles in the running game. We saw Jordan Love dealing with pressure. We saw an offense that just couldn't consistently stay on schedule. And the Packers responded by doing something that we don't see very often from this organization. They went shopping. Laken Tomlinson, Mekhi Becton and now Kevin Zeitler have all been added in a matter of days. That's three former first-round offensive linemen brought into the building in one week, and collectively those three guys have more than 400 career regular-season starts.
