Wes, you mentioned your opinion towards the corners, particularly Alexander, to stand out in this game, along with the O-line. I can understand why you might think so, however, are you overlooking how important run defense will be this game? A big way to have success I believe would be to defend the run first. We all know the running game sets up the pass. Thoughts?

Without question. It's part of the reason I wrote about the fast start Kenny Clark is off to this season and how important the defensive front will be to controlling Todd Gurley and the tempo of the game. He's leading the NFL in rushing and doesn't have a carry of more than 29 yards. What does that tell you? It says he's grinding defenses down over four quarters. The Packers must win the early downs.

After the Friday injury report was released, I noted Breeland wasn't listed on it as questionable or anything, leading me to believe he is set to make his Packers debut Sunday. All that being said, what are some realistic expectations for a corner that hasn't been with the team for a full month coming off of a muscle injury?

I'm excited to find out and I'm sure Breeland is champing at the bit for the opportunity. He was one of the most coveted young corners on the market last spring before the issue with his heel arose. The Packers come out of the bye remarkably healthy at corner. If Breeland has to start on special teams, I also see a benefit to that given how long a layoff he's had.

Re: Eli in the Hall of Fame. "...Passer rating this, playoff record that..." He has slayed the dragon. Twice. He gets knighted.

Not to oversimplify the argument, but it really is that simple in my mind. Listen, the Super Bowl is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb and they refuse. They cling to the small victories or accolades. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is. And Eli scaled it twice.

I think Green Bay made a big mistake letting Jordy go. He was Rodgers' go-to guy. Rodgers looks lost out there without him. If Cobb and Allison can't go again against the best team in the league, then it's over.

OK.

I noticed what seems to be a lot of new parents around the Inbox community lately, so I wanted to share a shameless plug for NFL Game Pass. When the Packers have a day game, I hide my phone. I spend time with my son. When the kid is in bed, I retreat to the man cave not knowing the result and give the game my full attention (with no commercials or halftime). Maybe next year he'll be old enough to watch the games live with me. These little guys grow up too quickly. Enjoy them while you can.

That's terrific advice, especially if you're able to successfully avoid the outcome. I know I've tried to push back other duties during the week to spend time with my son before he gets his final bottle at night and we put him to bed. Priceless.

If the NFL did a survey of each player on every team as to where they would like to play as their childhood dream, wonder what each would look like today? How many current Packers were childhood Packer dreamers?

I don't know if Robert Tonyan would qualify as a "dreamer," but he once had a Packers-themed birthday party (in the state of Illinois).

When I was 10 years old I saved up cereal box tops for an Earl Morrall football. It never came. I haven't eaten Cheerios since. I feel your pain, Wes, and I hope the Ben Sheets auto is legit.

It came with a certificate of authenticity! But Sheets is more than welcome to join us here in the Inbox to confirm, if he chooses to do so.

Even disappointed Brewers fans should be cheering for the Dodgers this weekend. If the World Series makes it to Game 5, Los Angeles area teams in MLB, the NBA, MLS, the NHL, and the NFL will all be hosting games this Sunday. To date, no city has gotten to see its teams from all those sports play at home on the same day.

Who cares? Go Sox.

So with the team flying out to Los Angeles a day early, does that mean that your plane is going out early too? Do both planes always fly on the same schedule?

More or less. However, both team planes can only leave once Spoff's private jet takes off.

Mike from Las Vegas, NV

If Spoff steals Wes's lunch, then Larry must be stealing Spoff's lunch. So the question is, who is stealing Larry's lunch?

You clearly don't know who you're talking about, so let me clue you in. Larry's lunch is not in danger, Mike. It is the danger. Two beat hacks open the cupboard, get their lunch stolen and you think that of Larry? No. The Rock is the one who knocks.

Kent from Lewiston, ID

My dad took me to the LA Coliseum in 1978 all the way from Idaho to see my first Green Bay Packers game. I respectfully submit this with tears in my eyes for that incredible memory of him and cementing forever what taking time to experience seeing the "G" on that helmet means. Memories that lasted 40 years like it was yesterday. Win or lose, if you are a Packers fan, cherish it, forever! Thank you Dad for making me a Packer backer for life. RIP
