The standard Tellez standup triple! -
Must be going around today... I'm doing the same. Well, not your couch...or even my couch.... more like my lazy-boy, but otherwise the same.

2025 NFL draft to be held at Lambeau Field
CheezWizHed replied to HarryDoyle's topic in Other Sports
Infrastructure always comes up with the SB discussion, but the draft is a MUCH smaller crowd. Plus in some larger cities, having a hotel on the other side of the city means being 30-45 min away. -
2025 NFL draft to be held at Lambeau Field
CheezWizHed replied to HarryDoyle's topic in Other Sports
Good news for GB. We will never be a SB site, but the draft is still a pretty high profile event. Lambeau Field and the surrounding area should complement that sized event well. -
Good points about schedule... I hadn't factored that in before. But I think our WR and TE core is going to have a worse performance. I believe they are higher ceiling overall, but that won't come out this year...yet. Especially at the TE level. And I think it will take Love a bit to get used to blitz calls, avoiding pressure in the pocket, when to run, etc... things you don't get in practice time. I also don't see this team better defensively. Still have a gaping hole at safety and out DL depth is suspect (not to mention the starting DL isn't overly proven). Personally, I'm ok with a step back this year and think the talk of a losing record being a failure is sad. Give the team a year to get some experience, grown, and gel before expecting too much.
-
Wow. Those are some high expectations. Rodgers won 6 games his first year with some very good experienced WRs and a similar (maybe a touch worse) defense. You listed off a bunch of things that Love is going to have to work out in-game. Plus, a stable of WRs and TEs still figuring out the game. If they can win 10 games next year. Love is probably destined for the HOF (i.e. not because of one year, but because he is that caliber of player). Either that, or you think Rodgers really held us back last year?
-
I just drove through Chicago (shudder) to get from Indiana to Milwaukee... I tried slowing down in construction zones, but it was crazy how fast people were buzzing around me. I normally drive 5 over, but felt like I had to do 10 over just to be a touch safer. But it was clear there were some that didn't change anything in the construction zones (80-90mph).
-
This team does have the feel of the '21 Packers... "Hey bring back Rodgers for one more year because we think the team is good enough for another run". Except this is more about "bring back the same team around Giannis because they are good enough for another run"
-
I know nothing about Lee, but I think he gets tarnished a bit here with Bud's failures. As I mentioned before, it seems like the flexibility part of our '21 championship left with Ham. I have a negative impression when I think of Doc Rivers, but I'm not sure why. Maybe just from his playing days...maybe because he always seems to be frowning? I don't get good vibes from him anyway. Whomever we pick, I hope the person is selected based on his offensive/defensive fit around Giannis and team and not "well he was a good coach here or there..."
-
I also agree that Rule V/5/(whatever) is good because it pushes clubs to add people to the 40 man roster. Adding one or two more to the 40-man limit also seems like a good idea. So if the idea is to move a player from a stacked roster to a less stacked one, perhaps they make the full-year requirement a little less onerous? Perhaps you can option the player once in the season, but must be on the MLB roster X days (75%?) of the year or he is offered back.
-
Wouldn't it be sad to find out that Ham was actually the source of the adjustments when we won the championship...only to lose him to the Lakers?
-
I guess my expectations are lower. To me a winning season is Love looking like a good QB and our WRs/TEs showing growth. This squad has more upside than last year's team, but a long way (like a year or two) to go to realize it and a much lower floor than last year.
-
Do you mean "tilt the season one way" as in making the playoffs? Personally, I have a hard time seeing this offense being a playoff bound one unless Love is just awesome or the defense is top 5. Rodger's first year starting the Packers went 6-10, throwing for over 4000 yards with Jennings, Driver, Nelson, and Jones as his top 4 WRs. Grant ran for over 1200 yards that year. Granted, I think we have better TEs even as rookies than having Donald Lee and a very green Jermichael Finley. And the 2008 defense was somewhere around Barry's norm. I guess, I'm expecting somewhere around the same: 6 wins.
-
Meh... Lazard made sense. He is a decent WR and should contribute. But Cobb was our 4th best WR and 6th best pass catcher (Jones+Tonyan) last year on a team sorely lacking WRs. Two rookie WRs passed him up. NYJ will have Wilson, Conklin, and Lazard clearly ahead of Cobb. He might fit into Elijah Moore's role, but still has Corey Davis in competition too. He could easily be the 5th WR and if he isn't on ST, he is probably crippling the team more than helping. I love what Cobb was, but he isn't that anymore unfortunately.
-
Meanwhile in NY, they are playing, "What's Love got to do with it?"
-
I was contemplating the disparity between LVN's strength numbers at the combine and his obvious power in his game tape. I guess the simple answer is that he has grown a lot in a few short years and his arms/chest haven't quite caught up. Thus his game tape is probably more a result of lower body power. So when his upper body strength does catch up to his lower body, which is probably one of the easier things to "fix" in the NFL....wow, pretty high potential.
-
$260k is higher than a 6th round pick. That is odd on multiple fronts... how many UDFAs actually make a dent in the NFL (yes, we have a list of players like Sam Shields, Tramon Williams, and Allen Lazard) but they represent such a small portion. And if you didn't think the guy was worth a 6th/7th round pick... why pay for it now? I guess "buying" another 6th/7th round pick. Not to mention that many UDFAs take more than one stop to succeed (Williams and Lazard were waiver wire pickups).
-
So will the first pick in the 7th be a Kicker?
-
Are you just focusing on the negative? 😉
-
Rashee Rice just seems like a Packer WR. But I'm afraid they doom him by grabbing him in the 3rd... Tillman is a Packer WR type too
-
Yeah, that was one reason I like him is to fill that Z-Smith role. I loved how Z would shift around and seemingly find a weakness. Flexiblity and rotation is a good thing. Engebare is another option like that too (though less athletic).
-
Eventually on run D. His weakest point was his strength... (at last on his combine numbers). I'm hoping he had a bad day. In the 8th percentile for single gap DEs (including Bosa and P-Smith): https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/lukas-van-ness
