## Resource

Homer and Bryan Bulaga react to the Packers moving on from Brandon McManus and handing the kicking job to a rookie, with Homer calling it a massive risk for a team expecting to contend. Bulaga explains why Lambeau Field is uniquely difficult for kickers, especially late in the season when wind and cold become major factors. Callers weigh in on whether McManus lost the locker room after last year’s playoff struggles, while Bulaga admits he is surprised the competition did not at least reach training camp. Later, Bulaga gives fans a detailed guide on what to watch at Packers training camp, from individual drills to 11-on-11 work. The hour wraps with offensive line talk, including why tackle and guard present very different challenges.
