The Green Bay Packers must unleash the beasts: play Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave together more!
Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft were two of the best players on the field for joint practices with the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday. Playing them together could be a secret weapon hiding in plain sight for the Packers.

Well said!
It’s a great problem to have with OL. (Depth) (Decisions)🏈
We may want to slow the roll on the Jordan Morgan being a "great" option for a bit. He was underwhelming last year, was awful at family night and has played well at guard two weeks ago and well at tackle last week. We have a two-week sample of good football. I hope he's good. Let's wait on the "great" until he sees live bullets in a meaningful game. I enjoy the show every morning.
Tucker Kraft WR1?
Tucker Kraft played in 17 games last season, and he recorded 50 receptions for 707 yards and 7 touchdowns. Luke Musgrave was limited to just 7 games due to an ankle injury and only recorded 7 receptions for 45 yards. Tucker Kraft assumed the starting role at tight end during Luke Musgrave’s absence and maintained it upon his return. The Green Bay Packers coaches have expressed a desire to increase Tucker Kraft’s involvement in the offense this upcoming 2025-26 NFL season. When Luke Musgrave’s healthy, he offers the team a tight end capable of stretching the field, which is a skillset that the Green Bay Packers haven’t had in over a decade. The possibility of utilizing both of their tight ends more frequently, perhaps even in tandem, could add a dynamic element to the Green Bay Packers’ offensive scheme when the season starts. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛
its the anti-superstar policy. they keep rotating them in so that when it comes to negotiations, they can lowball the players due to lack of production 😂
Peter is right they need to exploit Musgrave more. 6’6 250 TE who runs 4.5, he’s a mismatch anywhere on the field. He can get up the seam and across the field in a hurry and put pressure on a defense but they need to feature him more. Split him at WR, slot or inline, he can be a chess piece if they use him right.
i would like to see matt take more risks.
Musgrave has to work on his yac.
Play big and use play action. I’m sure the Pack will do that a lot this year. Especially with all the banged up wr’s
Unfortunately for us, 'Musgrave ' tends to tackle himself when healthy.
If you really take a look at Banks’ deal, it’s not as bad as you think for us.
The financial hit isn’t all that bad. We left the door open to keep money and send him packing after a year or two .
3 tight end sets…well I'm sure that will be implemented right after we stop running 90 percent of our runs out of the shotgun and have slow starts in the first half of games.
I want to see Watson and golden on the field together .and yes Musgrave and kraft together as well .these are dynamite duels .hope I see it alot this season .
Weird to “be fine with” Golden and Doubs being the 1 and 2 to start the season when… THATS THE ONLY OPTION
Peter can do you a section about Banks being super overpaid and a terrible decisions in FA.
If Musgrave can stay healthy. There is so much potential
TUCKER IS BETTER
I said when they drafted these 2 TE its Gronk Hernandez 2.0
Farve played with 2 TEs all the time. Im happy they can finally do it again.
There seems to be an issue between talent evaluation and this offensive coaching staff. Matt wants to run 12 personnel and be run heavy but Gute continues to spend top 100 picks on smaller WR’s who can’t effectively block on the perimeter.
I wanted the Packers to run 2-TE sets often last year but Musgrave was always hurt. A Patriots style offense with 2-TEs, a single star receiver (Golden) and a heavy dose of running and RBs catching the ball out of the backfield, would be a great system to play out of as a core, but then mix up Shanahan'esque trick plays. And when necessary, go with the 3wr and 4wr sets to blast the best defense with a change up. I said this since the Dallas win in the 2023 playoffs. The Packers have the offensive personnel to run ANY kind of formation or system. Matt LeFleur is very creative and I have no doubt he will give defenses a lot of wide-ranging looks. I want to see the Packers work a 2-TE offense to beat defenses up physically, then changeup with sudden formation changes where you throw a home run chin check and hurry-up 3-WR sets where the defense is put back on their heels.
