Wes, terrific story on Lucas Patrick. Great insights into what's made him a true success story. The friendship with Justin McCray (one of my personal favorites) is the icing on the cake. Are you aware of any other non-teammate friendships that seem to be so strong?
George Kittle and Robert Tonyan were the first duo to pop into my brain. Tonyan is supposed to stand up in Kittle's wedding ceremony…whenever COVID-19 permits.

What can we expect this Sunday?
A fast start, if recent history has been any indication. The Packers obviously want to keep that 8-for-8 streak going with scoring on their opening drive but that's especially true this week. Jacksonville has only scored 24 combined points through eight first quarters this season.

What's the status of our defensive back end for Sunday? Asking for DJ Chark.
Chark is the guy I have my eye on more than any other Jaguars player Sunday. Because you all saw last week what can happen when he gets behind the secondary and has a free path to the end zone. Jaire Alexander returned to practice Friday but remains doubtful. The real question is could Kevin King (quad/questionable) make it back on Sunday? Josh Jackson and Ka'dar Hollman have stepped up but the defense is different with King on the field.

I always feel better when players with concussions get out of the protocol fast. It's not so they can play, but because it means they are better. I feel if they get through the protocol faster the concussion wasn't as bad. Hoping Alexander clears soon. BTW, my favorite comment of the week was Spoff's about Wes bringing him lunch.
It was good to see Alexander back at practice Friday. Whether or not he plays Sunday, hopefully Alexander responds well to the limited work and takes another step towards passing the protocol tomorrow and the day after.

Recently Davante Adams addressed a question about him being the best receiver in the game right now. I loved his response. It showed confidence in his ability without coming across like he had a big ego. However, recently I have been discussing his greatness with friends who are not Packer fans. They say that while he is good, he is only getting the numbers that he is getting because of Aaron Rodgers. What would you say in response to that?
Did Adams catch the passes? Did he score the touchdowns? Is he a nightmare to cover? Davante Adams' star power is real…and it's spectacular.

Do you think Allen Lazard will be activated for Sunday's game?
LaFleur said both Lazard and Christian Kirksey will be "game-time decisions" on Sunday. That being said, in order to be active, both players would need to be designated to return off injured reserve today. Otherwise, they still have one more week before both must be re-added to the 53.

No question, just a couple observations. Both of you continue to enlighten, amuse, soothe, and occasionally stir up emotions with this Inbox feature on nearly a daily basis during this hellish year...thank you guys so much! Now, having been a Packer Backer for almost 60 years, I did want to respectfully disagree with Wes's statement on Nov. 12 that "Rodgers' interception numbers will be on par with Favre's ironman streak." Not only apples to oranges, but also stats vs. guts, no comparison!
I wasn't meaning to compare the two. All I was attempting to say was I don't see either mark falling anytime soon.

Hello, hope you are well. I read Krys Barnes was signed to a three-year contract as an undrafted free agent. Is this unusual? Also, what is your impression as to why he was undrafted? I am sorry if you have answered this question before and I missed it.
It's not unusual. Most undrafted free agents sign non-guaranteed, three-year contracts. Even if the players only signs a one-year deal, he remains under control of the team holding his rights until he has three accrued NFL seasons. I'm not sure everything that went into Barnes going undrafted but the NFL's loss has been the Packers' gain.
