  • if the Packers shut down Derrick Henry this weekend, then I will come in here Monday and I will say they the Green Bay Packers are the team to beat in the NFC.

  • That is their ticket to the Super Bowl.

  • It's the one thing they haven't been able to do.

  • So Luis Riddick, do you want to change my mind if I say to you if the packers shutdown Derrick Henry, they're on their way to the Super Bowl.

  • You want to change my mind?

  • Yeah, because they're not gonna shut down Derrick Henry.

  • So I don't think I'm really gonna have to address this.

  • But nevertheless, you know what?

  • Look, this is this is a football team.

  • Look, Arthur Smith, the offensive coordinator in Tennessee, absolutely knows exactly who they wanna be offensively, and they know exactly how they want to attack you.

  • And I'm not gonna say that you automatically have to go back to the NFC championship game a year ago.

  • And remember what Kyle Shanahan put on the Green Bay Packers As far as a running clinic because they're running games are a little bit different and they're running backs.

  • They're different.

  • As far as how they try to hit you.

  • That meeting San Francisco in Tennessee.

  • But Derrick Henry, Look, when you see that highlight right there, when you see him, just take people, grow men and throw them on the ground.

  • Look, I'm gonna bet against I'm gonna bet on him.

  • I'm gonna bet on how multiple this offenses in Tennessee, and I just don't think Green Bay has the firepower to deal with that right now.

  • Although I will say this Erin has lifted the entire operation offensively and defensively because his effect on the entire football team is something that you can't question.

  • And they are gonna be.

  • I believe in the NFC Championship game, for sure.

  • But I just don't think that they have enough up front to deal with this Tennessee running game right now.

  • That is pretty much giving everybody fits.

  • That's the big question to me is Well, D what?

  • What do you think?

  • What I don't wouldn't wanna be.

  • I wanna be anybody in that field Got to deal with that grown man and Derrick Henry.

  • But listen, Aaron Rodgers, to me is the M V p.

  • Of the league right now.

  • And Louis just talked about Aaron Rodgers has elevated everyone with the Green Bay within the Green Bay Packers organization.

  • On the field, his players just been spectacular.

  • And I think, listen at minimum, I think Green Bay Packers gonna be in the NFC Championship game.

  • Maybe the big.

  • Maybe the difference between the pack is getting, you know, advancing further out has to be their defense.

  • And I think this game against the Tennessee Titans and that Russian attack, I think we'll go a long way to determining whether the Green Bay Packers could end up in the Super Bowl down in Tampa.

  • Correct?

  • It's literally exactly what I'm saying, which is if they are able to slow down the running game and Derrick Henry is the best test you could possibly have of that.

  • Then they will show that they are the team to beat in the NFC Schefter Your you're nodding your head.

  • What do you think?

  • Well, I think it's sweet 16, and I think Green Bay is gonna be the number one seed, and I think even if they don't slow down Derrick Henry, they're still fully an entirely capable of winning two games in January in Lambeau Field to go to the Super Bowl, so a smudge is we wanna take.

  • Sunday night is an indication of whether this team is ready to make the next jump.

  • The postseason is just different.

  • Yes, it's a sign.

  • It's a signal you want to see that Green Bay is trending in the right direction and that it's run defense is being shorter for the postseason, in which you could face Ah player like Alvin Kamara.

  • But the fact of the matter is, I think when we get to January, I just think it's a little different.

  • You want to draw conclusions from Christmas toe late January, and maybe there's something to read into it.

  • But I'm not fully buying green way.

  • We'll see.

  • I'm well.

  • I will be watching that game very closely on.

  • We will see if that defense is able to rise up against that man who throws people around on the football field.

  • Like sometimes like they are small Children.

  • All right, thank you for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.
