He\u2019s not going to get up there and call his own players bums \u2014 especially when the guy who hired them is the one answering the questions. Nor is he going to give you any kind of major indication what his draft or player-acquisition strategies really are.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But even if he\u2019s going to stand up there and spew total nonsense, it\u2019s important to make him do it, because he could inadvertently reveal something, like the tacit admission that the Packers are probably switching to a 3-4 defense this year. And if you ask him interesting questions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-news\/79692\/why-brian-gutekunst-wanted-a-bigger-packers-offensive-line\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">as our Tyler Brooke did<\/a>, you might get an interesting response. It\u2019s not often that you see Gutekunst giving a straight \u201cyes, this is what I was trying to do\u201d style answer, but you\u2019ll never know if you don\u2019t ask.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That\u2019s the real value in these press conferences. You can\u2019t ever expect that Gutekunst is going to reveal anything, but you\u2019ve got to try. Maybe you\u2019ll find out something you didn\u2019t know before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This is probably the biggest revelation from Gutekunst\u2019s presser: Rich Bisaccia\u2019s departure was entirely unexpected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Gutekunst\u2019s takes on Rashan Gary were interesting. Did he really have a good second half of the season?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I offer up this link not in the hopes that you\u2019ll actually learn anything, but for contrast in how people cover the Packers. The take from the Packers themselves is always interesting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This probably goes without saying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There is a lot for NFL rookies to learn, and a good amount of it is off the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This is a bold move from someone who can be turned into bacon at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Packers media panopticon turned its attention to Brian Gutekunst on Tuesday as the Packers\u2019 general manager weighed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":775624,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2072],"tags":[52136,7,41,345,2702,2514,2513,6,428],"class_list":{"0":"post-775623","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-green-bay-packers","8":"tag-cheese-curds-daily-green-bay-packers-news-and-links","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-green-bay","11":"tag-green-bay-packers","12":"tag-green-bay-packers-news","13":"tag-greenbay","14":"tag-greenbaypackers","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-packers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116131859194468347","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=775623"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775623\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/775624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=775623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=775623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=775623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
