    Yes, I was thinking earlier that this defense against Barry Sanders would be a disaster...
  2. CheezWizHed
    Yeah, Rodgers never made a move to leave the field so I knew something was up. Announcers "cover" with a "late flag" comment.
  3. CheezWizHed
    Defensively, I'd like to know why our MLBs are never in the picture (even downfield) on RB screens? There were at least 3 RB screens that gained big and no MLB to be found in the camera's view.
  4. CheezWizHed
    Nice play by Savage, but stop with the jawing. You need to get back to lineup for the next play.
  5. CheezWizHed
    We could use a nice Stafford pick-6 right now.
  6. CheezWizHed
    Good Lowry is showing up today too. He actually has played better the last couple games.
  7. CheezWizHed
    Wow. If MVS learns to catch like that, he is going to be a beast. I think that is the first contested-catch I've seen him make.
  8. CheezWizHed
    It was nice timing to get Austin with Tyler banged up. I'd love to see one jet sweep today. He has already touched it 2 times on offense.
  9. CheezWizHed
    Stopping the run today, but no pass rush so far.
  10. CheezWizHed
    Maybe he should go to Hawaii and take a 3-hour boat tour?

    I can't get WI/IA, so I'm watching Army/Navy, but I'm not sure why. Its two option offenses against defenses that are well suited to stop the option. 3 downs for 1 yard and punt. 3 downs for 2 yards and punt. Ugh...
  12. CheezWizHed
    With so many catchers on the 40-man roster, what are the odds we will be trading from a position of strength there (capable MLB talent, not world-beater talents)? We have at least three guys without options, so I'd think we'd clean that up at least.
  13. CheezWizHed
    I see IA ranked and WI unranked, but WI has the odds right now. Frankly, I'm unsure what to expect out of WI from week to week anymore.
  14. CheezWizHed
    I would assume the odds of this happening were infinitesimal. But it's something to discuss until the season starts. Yes, exactly. Harden for basketball and Leo Crawford on the baseball side of WI sports. Not much else.
  15. CheezWizHed
    I feel like we should be rooting for the Vikings so they still have something to play for against the Saints. With an extra Wild Card team this season, they likely will, even with a loss to the Bucs. The Vikings still aren't over bountygate. Beyond the Packers, the Saints are the next hated team in MN. I'm sure they will be up for it.
  16. CheezWizHed
    Yes, I'd keep doing it. A couple ways to help it feel less like a "handout": - Tie celebrations to the gifts: We did a "12 Days of Christmas" for our neighbors where we gave them 12 gifts (no lords-a-leaping or maids-a-milking), but just fun gifts - from "the neighborhood elves". They were new to the neighborhood. We found out later that they were both stuck at home with a really bad flu - our little gifts each day broke up their day and made a bigger impact than we ever thought. - Ask them to help you do things also. Find small, simple ways they can return the favor. "Hey, I need a hand doing XYZ task, do you have 5 minutes to give me a hand?"

    Well, you don't always get what you want... Probably depends a bit on how difficult Harden will make it on Houston if they don't trade him. I'm torn on the concept of him on the Bucks. I can see him being that can't-win=because-I-won't-be-a-team-player type guy (Barkley). But I haven't followed him enough to know if he is frozen in his ways too. Westbrook wasn't the best there either. Harden on the team will get a lot of Giannis kick-outs, so if he would reciprocate, they would be really, really tough to beat. Though, losing Lopez in the middle with leave a huge hole in their defense too. They barely have a backup now and they rely on him heavily to clean up their D. [sarcasm]Maybe their games would become All-Star numbers (150-140).[/sarcasm]

    Certainly starved for things to talk about and possible cabin fever setting in on this umpteenth month of COVID-enhanced 2020, so what is the hearburn? No-one is crowning him as a TOR. Yes, hundreds of players like him flame out. Others go on to be Mike Fiers or Brent Suter. Low measurables, but good numbers. A starter pitching at AAA level is more than I expected. I figured to get an A ball flier. He has a low ceiling, but decent chance at a nice MLB impact, too.
  19. CheezWizHed
    Maybe he was. I just glanced at someone's list of eligible Dodgers and didn't see him on it.
  20. CheezWizHed
    I'm thinking this is more about the expectations people had (i.e. very low) on the type of player coming back and are happier than expected. Not that everyone thought we had a future All-Star pitcher robbed from LAD. I think comparisons to Mike Fiers, Zac Davies, or even Suter are somewhat apt - non-heralded players that seem to get results. Its better than just non-tendering Knebel.
  21. CheezWizHed
    Besides being a bit closed in his stance (right foot closer to 1st base than his left foot on the rubber), I didn't see anything too "funky" about his delivery. Which is a good thing as hitches and things like that tend to be learned and/or hard to maintain mechanics for the pitcher. Also odd that he wasn't available for the Rule 5 draft, yet, it came immediately afterwards. I wonder if the Brewers would've taken someone else if deGeus had fallen to them (or a handshake agreement with the Dodgers for cash if they took deGeus). Edit - maybe I should've watched a bit more before commenting. He does vary his timing, some motion, and his leg-kick during his delivery. A couple that I saw seemed like borderline balks.
  22. CheezWizHed
    I think if he were on the team, he basically becomes our backup PG; functionally at least. That may still be a reduction of ball-handling, but maybe a decent middle-ground solution. But I still think it is more a fantasy than an actual possibility.
  23. CheezWizHed
    Yes, it always seems like when a coach is fired the rest of the team rebounds a bit. Certainly, they tend to break previous tendencies and become less predictable. But I think we do align well with this team defensively (more pass happy than run) and they do have a couple key injuries that help us also.
  24. CheezWizHed
    I know we have avoided a pick here for many years now, but I'm still a little surprised. I figured if there was any year to take one, this year would be it (financial reasons mostly).
  25. CheezWizHed
    Simple. Americans hate metric. I just had a meeting with a co-worker and a U-Michigan student project team. My co-worker is nearing retirement age. Most of the students are international (China, Korea, Kenya, India, Switzerland, and one US student). I was the only one that could handle C to F conversions int their head without googling it.
