Week in Review: Sean Rhyan and the Green Bay Packers are out for blood
Miss anything at Go Long this week? Links to all stories, all podcasts are inside.
Too often, the Green Bay Packers get punked in January. It’s become an exhausting scene.
A bigger bully on the block pushes this team around… too often at Lambeau Field.
Matt LaFleur knows the identity of his team needed to change. And while all of our attention has been fixated on the quarterback position, getting tougher starts on the offensive line. Specifically, it starts with right guard Sean Rhyan.
On our trip to Wisconsin — where Go Long also hung out with Kenny Clark & Evan Williams/LeRoy Butler — I popped over to Rhyan’s apartment complex near Lambeau Field. What a wildly fascinating guy. From the Taylor Swift ballads to the Werner Gunthor training to Richie Incognito film to one rusty cigarette lighter from the Vietnam War, a lot goes into his werewolf transformation on Sunday. It is needed.
Hope you enjoy.

Every Sunday, Sean Rhyan reads a message on a lighter... and morphs into something else. Good news for a team that finally wants to bludgeon opponents.

Could this be a Super Bowl preview? What a matchup at Ford Field. I caught up with an old pal, Jim Monos, to get us set for everything Bills and Lions. Sean McDermott has unquestionably evolved this past year. Was the Rams relapse a cause for concern?
The Lions and Packers have taken two very different approaches to injuries. We discuss the value of a vibrant pro scouting department, Sam Darnold’s latest WOW moments, the slumping Chicago Bears and more on the Ty & Bob Pod. Full film reviews, as always:
Matthew Stafford was exceptional in a shootout win over the Bills. These Los Angeles Rams are peaking at the right time again. Here’s the Monday AM column recapping the games.
