With Love starting, I think everybody is expecting GB to start with runs and/or dink-and-dunk passing to get him acclimated and confident. With Adams, Lazard, and possibly MVS back for the game, what about taking a shot on the first play of the game? They could disguise it by keeping Jones back in protection and then swinging him out as an outlet screen, if necessary.
I wouldn't be a fan of it. Sure, the Packers could catch KC off-guard, but if I'm calling plays, I want to get Jones and Dillon into an early rhythm on the ground. Matt LaFleur wanted those two backs to combine for 30-plus carries against Arizona and honestly, I think that should be the same plan against the Chiefs. Jones and AJ Dillon should be Love's two best friends on Sunday.

To answer TC from Waunakee's question about why the change in long snapper. Remember how after the Cincinnati game, ML said that all those missed kicks weren't entirely Mason Crosby's fault, but that he wasn't going to throw anyone under the bus? I think that's related to how McCarthy loudly and publicly defended Ty Montgomery after his last game with the Packers and traded him two days later. It just took ML a little longer. Good coaches don't badmouth, they make changes.
Maurice Drayton had a great response when asked about his comment earlier this offseason about his special teams room being "the truth room." It is the truth room…but that room is not the media auditorium. The best ones coach behind closed doors and build in front of the podium. In the end, the Packers felt a change was needed and now will get an extended look at Steven Wirtel.
James from Asheville, NC
The midseason switch at long snapper gets me wondering. At what point did teams begin using a roster spot just for the position? I recall the starting center (or an occasional backup) filling that role. Rob Davis (1998) seems to be the first long snapper I see listed as such.
You obviously haven't heard Bill Belichick's 10-minute response on long snappers earlier this season.
Kerri from Milton, GA
With Robert Tonyan out for the season, how will the Packers' offense change?
We will find out Sunday. The Packers know they'll have Davante Adams and Allen Lazard back. They could have Marquez Valdes-Scantling, as well. If the full receiving corps and backfield are available, the Packers could lean towards more "11" and "21" personnel. At the same time, they still have enough tight ends to run their two-TE packages. Nothing is off the table.
Claire from Milwaukie, OR
Hello. I am a longtime reader, but first-time questioner. Actually, I would like to add an answer to the question of the best Packers backup QB not mentioned in the Friday II. Why was there no mention of Matt Hasselbeck? Thanks for the great columns and II you gentlemen write!
Thanks for reading, Claire. I think the list was geared more towards the backup quarterbacks who started games in Green Bay. Hypothetically, though, Hasselbeck could have ably stepped in for Favre had he ever missed time.
John from Milwaukee, WI
Just to follow up, Lynn Dickey could be great at times but was injured so often that David Whitehurst would have to be considered a crucial backup and often had to step in.
Man, this backup thing really hit close to home for y'all, huh?
Xavier from Pueblo of Acoma, NM
How excited are you for this one? For me, personally, I'm PUMPED it is gonna be a Mountain West showcase is what I keep telling everyone! Adams (Fresno), Jones (UTEP), Love (Utah State), and last but not least Corey Bojorquez(UNM). So, let's see how Sunday goes.
Thank you for including Bojorquez. Punters are people, too.
