The superlative

What do you think about Davante Adams saying that he's the best receiver in the NFL at the moment?

Modal verbs - A2

Present continuous

I mean, I think that e He's proven that weekend a week out, especially when you're doing one on one coverage.

He's beating everything, beating the best best corners out there every single week.

And the guy just keeps continue to make plays.

He's the best receiver in the game today.

I give him a lot of respect of love, but I'll ask you this question.

In light of that would have been your thoughts about the fact that the Green Bay Packers having gotten Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams additional help.

What are your thoughts about that from the white out spot?

They have been drafted offensive play in the first round since 2005.

Well, you know, you know, Stephen a This is the thing, man, is that packers always realized that they build in house.

I was seven round and I went out there and I proved weekend a week out, even though they drafted the guy before me.

Uh, you know, and then guys after me in the first round, I still proved that I was one of the best receivers to ever played.

And I think sometimes that's what they're trying to feel if there is a guy that can step up and fill the shoes like I did when I first walked in there and, uh, maybe you have to go out and get a guy in the first round.

But right now they've been building in house and they're trusting that these young receivers one of them will step up.

I think Mark stepped up last night, scoring two touchdowns, but he has to be consistent every weekend and week out, and I think that's the problem right now.

Aaron Rodgers went deeper into his career without throwing a pass to a first rounder, I think, than anyone in history, right?

But let's forget about the offense in that case, They should have a good defense if they're finding gems and developing well and they have, you know, Erin Jones and Davante Adams, and they could do it that way.

Why is the defense so suspect and then and they don't make a deadline?

What's up with the Packers defense, Do you think?

Well, that's the thing you let too many great players go.

I mean, Blake Martinez, one of the best linebackers to ever play the game, and you let him leave.

You gotta be willing to keep guys in house.

And sometimes you, you know, guys wanna go different places toe maybe thinking that they could win the championship there.

But And now, as you know, this game is all about money.

It ain't about being Lautowa organization, so guys going out trying to play as much and make this much money as possible, but the practice gonna always do what they have to do.

Um, that's what they've been very successful at.

And you can't deny their six and two for a reason.

The defense has not been playing lights out, but the offense has been making enough place to win the game.

Aaron Rodgers one of the best to have ever done it.

Obviously, you've got a Super Bowl championship with him.

My question to you would be this, though.

It's one thing to be good when you talk about championship caliber.

How do you view the Green Bay Packers, particularly this season?

When you look at the rest of the NFC, you know they're playing good.

I mean, by that end of the day, I mean, they still have to go out there and play weekend the week out, and we saw the games that they did lose, and they should have won those games.

But you know, when you play against, you know, when you play against the Bucks, everybody thought that they were gonna go out there.

Erin's gonna play lights out, and they kind of figured it out.

And then from there, they want to make sure that everyone else when, um, and try to beat them.

I think that's where it gets tricky in this game because any given Sunday, man, you could get beat by any team.

It doesn't matter if you seven and one or you on seven, so you got to go out and play weekend.

The week out, don't They went 13 and three.

First year head coach Matt LeFlore, right, and and Aaron Rodgers did not look the same.

He's Aaron Rodgers, but he didn't look the same.

Then they draft Jordan Love instead of getting him help.

They draft his successor, and now Rodgers comes out and more comfortable in the offense.

Plays like he's played so far this season.

Watching him, What do you see as the difference now?

From once upon a time, you play with a chip on your show that he's playing with a chip on the shoulder.

I mean, I think, you know, and I go back because I try to compare Aaron to myself, right, Erin?

You mean he felt like he should have been the first pick in the draft in 2005?

I mean, and so he's proven every single year that he wants to be one of the best quarterbacks to ever played this game, and I think that's what it is.

I think when you have somebody, you draft somebody, uh, to come take your spot.

You wanna go out and prove it wrong every week.

And so even when they was drafting Javon Walker and Greg and James and Georgie, I still want to be the best with that organization.

I think that's what he's proven right now that I carry a chip on my shoulder and I'm going out to play and my receiver group.

You're somebody that knows a thing or two about what goes on the Green Bay and what have you.

I want to know what your initial reaction Waas when you saw the Green Bay Packers with all of those needs still elected draft the successor, the Aaron Rodgers.

What was your reaction when you first saw it?

I'm talking about that night watching the NFL draft and you saw the Green Bay Packers select Jordan.

You know, I think that I mean, that was it.

I mean, I knew Devante needed help on they didn't go out and they didn't go out and do it.

And so I think everyone questioned the decision.

But as we all know, Stephen a No one could play.

You know, we all wanna play until our late third.
