What did you think of those defensive masterpieces in the college game on Saturday? Texas A&M 41, Alabama 38; Mississippi 52, Arkansas 51; Oklahoma 55, Texas 48. Where will the NFL be getting its linebackers and secondary players from next year?

From some of those teams, I'm sure. But the NFL doesn't draft entire defenses, just the best individual players. Many college programs have been putting the majority of their better athletes on offense for a long time now.

What a game! Huge fan in Ohio and this was the first time seeing the Packers in person. A couple observations I made…1. Stokes is the real deal. Ja'Marr Chase made a couple of great catches with stokes in coverage, but Eric Stokes did a great job not giving him space. 2. Being a defensive coordinator in the NFL is crazy difficult. NFL offenses are more creative and diverse than ever. To have to guard four receivers and then worry about a block and release from a RB/TE is just nuts. Kudos to Joe Barry.

Worthwhile sentiments to be sure. Stokes' tackling is a tad inconsistent, but there's way more to like than not with his game. I saw more strides from Barry's defense, and it was a solid first effort without Jaire Alexander. Plenty of work to do yet, but another step forward in my book.

Good morning. I seem to recall the 2019 Packers defense was pretty good in the red zone. They obviously aren't this year. Can you tell what they're doing differently? Thank you for all you do and for sanity in your coverage...even if it couldn't be found in that last game.

I wish I knew the answer to that. I'm sure Joe Barry does, too. They just haven't made it tough enough for teams to score when they get close, and that's the biggest thing missing with this defense for all the growth it's shown through five games.

James from Ottawa, Canada

Morning, guys! Russell Wilson's injury officially ends his consecutive regular-season starts at 149 games – or 10 years without missing a game. Just an incredible feat. When you compare it to Brett Favre who made 297 consecutive regular-season starts – or 18 years(!) – it makes what Favre did even more miraculous. Especially when less emphasis was put on QB safety back then. Is it realistic for a QB to even make 200 consecutive starts anymore, let alone hone in on 300?

I think it's more realistic now as the rules continue to evolve, but it'll still be an incredible feat. Philip Rivers just ended his career with 240 straight starts (252 including playoffs). I wouldn't rule it out.

Izzi from Raleigh, NC

Two quick questions: Where would we be without De'Vondre Campbell? And where would we be without Adam Stenavich?

The signing of Campbell is the personnel move of the year for this team, as far as I'm concerned. He's made an incredible difference in the middle of this defense. With Stenavich, it's impossible to be surprised after what his unit endured last year, but you extend kudos nonetheless.

Cindy from Mesa, AZ

Good morning! In a recent interview Campbell said that on other teams, he played Robin to others' Batman. Would you say this is due more to the scheme or the personnel on the Packers vs. other teams?

Personnel. I heard that comment too and found it rather intriguing.

Jeff from Vandenberg SFB, CA

25-22 is an unusual score and two games on Sunday finished with that score. Wonder if that's ever happened before?

So much weirdness Sunday. The Lions went for two and the lead with less than a minute left, got it, and lost anyway. Lightning on Sunday night. And then there was also …

Gerbie from Elk Mound, WI

Chargers v. Browns. Have you ever seen a defense intentionally pull a running back over the goal line forcing a score? That was a game that saw our crazy and said, "Hold my beer."

After a long, wild day, that made me laugh.

Michael from Madison, WI

First time ever 300-yard passer, 200-yard receiver and 100-yard rusher in one game. How do you like them apples?

Anytime there's a statistical "first" for a team that's been around as long as the Packers, you take notice. Still hard to believe a 59-yard pass to Adams and 57-yard run by Jones produced a total of three points, though.
