Micah Parsons issues strong response to Rasheed Walker’s bold Packers talk
Micah Parsons and the Green Bay Packers are either the top team right now in the NFL after two weeks of action or one of the best. In the eyes of Green Bay offensive lineman Rasheed Walker, his team is so good, he could see the Packers going all the way and winning the Super Bowl without suffering a loss along the way.
“The goal is to keep it going,” Walker said this week. “I think we can go undefeated honestly. … Pound for pound, I look at these teams, and I don’t really see who’s better than us honestly. That’s why I can say that so confidently.”
Although the Packers have crushed it in the two games they have played thus far in the 2025 NFL regular season, the fact remains that they have indeed just saw action in only a couple of outings. The sample size is still small at this point, though, it’s hard to fault Walker for feeling such confidence in his team.
With a defense that got a major boost with the addition of Parsons and an offense that has incredible talent in the backfield and downfield, Green Bay has looked so powerful in their wins against the Detroit Lions and the Washington Commanders in Week 1 and Week 2, respectively.
Micah Parsons reacts to Walker’s undefeated claim
Speaking of Parsons, the four-time Pro Bowl had this to say about Walker’s take on the Packers’ potential to wreck every opponent the rest of the way:
“We should win every game,” said Parsons, who was traded to Green Bay by the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for veteran defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two future first-round picks (h/t Zach Kruse of Packers Wire).
“That’s the mindset you should have. That’s the mindset I want my left tackle to have. Pound for pound, he feels like he can compete with the best…you want your LT having that type of confidence.”
Only one team in the history of the NFL has ever gone undefeated for an entire season, and that was the 1972 Miami Dolphins. It’s a rare feat, to say the least.
In any case, Green Bay will look to keep its record clean when it faces the Cleveland Browns this Sunday on the road.
Raiders’ Progress Under Carroll Faces Crucial Challenge This Weekend
LAS VEGAS, Nev. –Las Vegas Raiders Head Coach Pete Carroll spoke from the podium at team headquarters before Friday's practice. This week, the Raiders will visit the Washington Commanders on Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PT, FOX, KOMP 92.3FM, and KRLV “Raider Nation Radio 920AM”.)
To view his comments, watch below.
Q: Obviously, no Jayden Daniels, but on a trip like this, is it more about you guys rather than those guys?
Head Coach Pete Carroll: "Well, we know what you guys know. We've read what you've read. We'll see what happens. If DQ [Dan Quinn] finalized it, I don't know that right now, but regardless, yeah, it doesn't change anything for us at all.
And we've talked about both guys playing all week long, and we've looked at film of both guys all week long, so that's what they're dealing with. Yeah, we have to get out there and get our game right and make sure everybody's got their head in the right direction, and we're going and playing a great football game. This is a winning football club. Danny's [Dan Quinn] turned it around in no time. Had a great season last year, and so, they've got a winning mentality, and they're going to be hard as heck at home. So, that's all. We need to go play our game. That's the challenge."
Q: When you turn on the film, watching Marcus Mariota and this offense, how do you think that they utilized his talents?
Coach Carroll: "It looked very similar. The same play, same style. He's a runner. He's run all through his career. Jayden [Daniels] is a fantastic all-around athlete. Well, so is [Marcus] Mariota. So, we would think Marcus would do all of the same stuff as we've seen on film, from throwing the ball down the field to keeping it and all the rest and scrambling, all of that."
Q: What challenges does someone like a Deebo Samuel Sr. present?
Coach Carroll: "Yeah, Deebo [Samuel] -- we've played against Deebo for a lot of years and have great respect for his game. He's really physical. He's more physical than most players at that position, and they'll get the ball in his hands, they'll give him chances to do things. We know that that's going to happen, so we just have to be alert and make sure that we don't leave him unattended to. I have great respect for him because he's so physical, and he plays that way with great tempo and speed and all, so I got a lot of respect."
