    Agreed, I've been on the 2-year NIL deals for a while. The constant churn makes college sports feel more like pick-up games instead of team play.

    That seems like quite a position change too. I realize the HS players are generally a bit fungible in their positions, but I wonder if he swapped because of the position change (i.e. we pushed him one way and he decided otherwise)?
  3. CheezWizHed
    but also worse...

    Ugh... assuming. 😛 I remember when Clint Coulter was drafted. At 6'3", he was often said to be too tall for catcher. That is one position where being tall does make it difficult when being mobile in the crouch (and/or getting down low enough to paint a good zone). Oh, William Contreras and Will Smith (5'10") say hi. 😉

    It would be silly to just move all three. For what purpose? That doesn't improve Ortiz by moving him to 3B. If Ortiz is in the lineup, I think you have to maximize his value by playing him at SS. If you move Turang to SS, it is with the purpose of removing Ortiz from the lineup. Now if you were to find a 2B and put Turang at SS, I wonder how hard it is on the players to put Turang at 2B for LHB and SS for RHB (i.e. put him in the position with the highest probability of having the ball hit at him)?

    If you look at the size of the Packer center and guards from 5 years ago and compare to today, there is a clear shift to bigger and heavier IOL: 2020: Jenkins (311), Linsley (301), Patrick (313) 2025: Banks(325), Jenkins(311)/Rhyan(321), Morgan(311)/Belton(336)/Rhyan Pretty close to 10-20lbs heavier across the board. Especially if you consider Morgan a T playing out of position (which I do).

    Rollins and KPJ are pretty close to untouchable, IMO. Not that they are all-world players, but they are young, cheap, improving, and good on offense and defense. GTJ and Green at the 2 is "ok", but could be improved. Both players at 3 gets overwhelmed by size. We do have a future first round pick to deal with... but more importantly, we have cap room to take on a salary dump (Bucks are 25th in the league right now). Cleveland is over both aprons. Timberwolves are over the first apron... Maybe one of the teams at the high end would want to move a bit lower? Not looking for the second coming of Khris, but a strong defender with a bit of size that isn't a total black hole on offense. As for the Wizards game... I think you need to ask Turner how the opposing C got 6 offensive rebounds while he only had 3 total rebounds. He has never been a big rebound guy, but he has to wake up and see that Sims is mainly getting playing time because he won't rebound. Of course, Justin Champagnie also grabbed 6 OREBs which goes to my point about our SFs being outsized. Maybe it is time for AJJ to get a chance?

    Yes, it is looking that way now. I mistook Lloyd's and Cox's verbiage of "designated to return" for "activated"... and wondering why Reed wasn't. Wrong stage of the process. Looks like they will wait to see how he responds from a full week of practice and then activate him. Sounds like Golden might be back too. With Reed and Golden returning and Kraft injured, I wonder if we will try more 4-wide formations - Doubs, Reed, Golden, and Watson? That would be a very MM thing to do, but I've not seen that much with MLF. But it would certainly play to the strength of our personnel and allow us to attack the medium-middle portion of the field again.
  10. CheezWizHed
    I was hoping to see Reed activated for this game...
  11. CheezWizHed
    Or beat the Cowboys and get rid of the tie. But as the season ages, the Cleveland loss is looking like the main "stinker" of the group. Carolina and Dallas are closer to average than bottom feeders. And all three losses were by 3 points each...
  12. CheezWizHed
    More likely we go after (as a minor league FA or small trade) a SS that is blocked or marginalized by his current team in some way (someone 5'8"?) to come in and compete with Ortiz with the hopes of finding gold. Basically, the same as they have done with Collins, Capra, Dunn, Durbin, Vaughn, Perkins, Priester, Bauers, Monasterio, etc... Not all of them work, but you give yourself another option and at a minimum you push Joey to improve.
  13. CheezWizHed
    This season is pretty ugly, but at least we aren't capped out anymore and can take on salary. The main thing we need is a competent SF. A three-and-D SF would help a lot since we seem to get lit up by larger SG/SF types. GTJ has been atrocious this year playing SF. Green has been decent, but not quite a starting caliber SG for a championship team. Perhaps having KPJ and Rollins both starting will help there. We are a pretty long-shot this year unless we get a gift SF and Miles kicks in a bit more (hello rebounds?), but it isn't like a few years ago with no draft picks and hamstrung on the salary cap.
  14. CheezWizHed
    I think Watson just got hit when he wasn't expecting it. Pretty common play, but when you aren't expecting it...
  15. CheezWizHed
    There are a couple of things that MLF does that bug me. But I think a bunch of people here seriously underestimate him. There are better coaches out there, but he is better than 99% of the ones available for hire. Good luck finding the 1%.
  16. CheezWizHed
    I'm sure there will be a smattering of "Fire MLFs" and a bunch of comments about "the NFL is fixed". Personally, I'm not worried about that happening. I think you might need another therapy session to help your "recovery". 😄

    The Battle for NFC North as the 8-3-1 Packers face off with the surprising 9-3 Bears. Regardless of the outcome, Ben Johnson is probably a leading candidate for Coach of the year. Both teams are coming off mini-bye weeks due to Thanksgiving and Black Friday games, so both should be well rested and prepared. Are the Bears just lucky? Will the Packers put them back in their place? Will @nate82 give us any peace if the Bears win? 😉 Time for Parsons to bring the Bears' motto to life:

    Yeah, but it would've been pretty hard to stop (and perhaps an injury risk to do so). I was hoping for a Love roll-out on third down. Play action with Jacobs going left, Love rolls right and runs for a 1st down or have an easy pass to a WR crossing over. But either way, I would've gone on 4th down. It was nice to finally just control the clock and not hope the defense will stop them.

    Packers with a new Thanksgiving side dish:
  20. CheezWizHed
    Perfect timing; My turkey is done!
  21. CheezWizHed
    I would've rolled Love out on 3rd down (easy throw or short run). But I like the 4th down going for it. Punting doesn't gain much anyway.
  22. CheezWizHed
    MVP = Wicks!
  23. CheezWizHed
    The refs totally missed an opportunity to help the Lions there... Goff's helmet moved as Parsons hit him.
  24. CheezWizHed
    Nixon dropped into zone. He could've jammed first
  25. CheezWizHed
    Why don't we jam WRs??? Jameson is so light that knocking him off the route would seem logical.
