More Packer news today.
Jordan Love was asked if the Packers need to find a killer instinct late in games.
I don't think the killer instinct is the hard part.
I think everybody's kind of got that.
Everybody wants to win the game.
We know what we're trying to do.
We're trying to go out there to win the game.
So that's not the issue.
I think it's more just understanding the situation and making sure everybody knows.
Like in some of those situations, do I got it?
Am I trying to get out of bounds?
Am I trying to get down to save as much time as possible, running the ball in?
Like all those little critical coaching points that we talk about that you just, it's hard to get as many reps on.
So I think the killer instinct part, I think everybody's got that and we're all trying to go out there
win the game, so
that's
the easy part.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur was asked if he was confident about winning the North.
Oh absolutely, I told the team yesterday this is as excited as I've ever been coaching this football team in my time here and it's because of the people we have in the room.
I mean players, coaches, support staff, everybody, so we're just ready to go.
Ryan go into guns talked about running back Josh Jacobs and his future.
Yeah, really nothing's changed I mean those things are obviously legal matters that are out of our hands and so But he'll be out there and we look forward to him being out there
you know, he's obviously such a big, important part of our football team.
So, and he's healthy and I think he looks really good.
Day number two of Packer camp is today in Green Bay and Badgers head coach Luke Fickle acknowledges that he is on the hot seat at the Big 10 media days.

His football teams have lost 17 out of 27 conference games in his three seasons.

If Wisconsin fires fickle at the end of the season, he would be due a payout of more than $21 million.
