    I don't see the Packers giving up the franchise tag on a 25 year old QB who they are giving a megadeal to. Dak got it after I think playing for the tag, that is usually when teams agree to give it up. While it is used on other players all the time the tag is really about keeping the top QB's from moving, no way the Packers are the team that's going to blow that up. I would guess it is more about the length of the deal, Love probably wants another raise before he is 30.

    I think the Packers drafted Morgan to be their long term LT but he did reportedly get rag dolled by Gary a couple of times in OTA's/minicamp. I share your concerns about Rhyan's pass blocking but the Packers have never been shy about moving young guys all over the oline. If Morgan isn't ready at LT yet I think he gets a shot at RG. Add in the offseason comments on Tom being better inside and how the OL shakes out is probably the most interesting camp story. Totally agree on the excitement about our DL and the new scheme. But man, we have been let down so many times by preseason hype about the defense it's hard to be a believer until we see it.

    Training camp starts this weekend, have to say I am more interested than I have been in years. There are not too many starting position battles but I will be watching these: Lucas Van Ness and Preston Smith, DE - Preston comes in the nominal starter but I thought Van Ness came on at the end of the season and his 1st round pick status means they want him starting sooner than later. Maybe Smith holds on to it with his veteran status but it won't be for long. For sure they at least both get similar amount of snaps. Jordan Morgan, Sean Rhyan, and Rashad Walker, OL - I saw a depth chart that had Rhyan at RG and Walker at LT but I don't think there is much chance Morgan isn't starting. Maybe moving Tom inside will be in the mix but my bet is Morgan starts at RG this year. I am hopeful Morgan steps right in at LT though. Eric Stokes and Carrington Valentine, CB - Assuming good health I would guess Stokes has inside track here. Teams like to see 1st round picks through and he is the type of elite athlete you want at the position. But Valentine is no slouch as an athlete, I am pulling for him to hold his position.

    Wheels coming off before the break. We have seen it before and bounced back not really worried. Just tuned in why is Yelich out? I saw he was hbp in box last night…

    Not watching but is there a reason not to think Skenes will go the rest of the way if they don't get a hit? 99 pitches through 7, I always thought up to 120 with a no hitter but maybe Pirates are smart enough not to risk him.

    I certainly understand the hand wringing over Yeli’s contract and how it affects what the Brewers can do. But he is an all time Brewer now and for me I just want him to finish his career here just like I did with Braun. Like Braun the down years for Yelich have made me a bigger fan. He is back on a HOF track now I think, and while the back is concerning unlike Braun he plays every day when active. Congrats to him and Contreras, both deserve it hopefully we get a couple of more.

    That probably makes more sense, give Myers and Freddy the extra day. There is off day on Monday so they can figure out which 5 or 6 they want to roll forward with after that.
  8. OldHeidelberg
    Civale’s last start was Saturday so he could be plugged in at anytime. Probably gets Wilson’s start on this Saturday?
  9. OldHeidelberg
    Brewers probably get 3 guys, whether Turang or Megill is 3rd one depends on how roster falls I think.
  10. OldHeidelberg
    If he is a longer term project wouldn't you rather have the 1st round rights on him than get him at #33? I just read Kolek likely the first pick off the board in 2nd round so maybe not a lot of hope for Bucks there.

    I hadn't looked in a while but Burnes really having a nice year. Finally getting the wins and his ERA is 5th best in MLB. His K rate is down again and his bWAR is lowest among the top 10 ERA pitchers though. Still, well on his way to an offseason megadeal. Very happy with Joey obviously. 🙂

    McIlroy was 496/496 on putts inside of 3 ft before the miss on 16. Then he follows it with a 4 ft miss on 18 and loses by a stroke. wow

    Yeli has been saving #200 for the Reds, right?
  14. OldHeidelberg
    Watson for sure has #1 potential and really has played like it when completely healthy. He isn't as effective at 80-90% coming back from the hammy's though which compounds the missed games. Doubs did seem to plateau after his rookie year but did come on late season and in the playoffs so there may still be some upside. I think Watson and Doubs are #1 and #2 in TD's from their draft class which says a lot considering how many games Watson has missed. I know I am not alone in thinking Wicks may end up the best of them all. Add the 2 TE's and really as exciting a group of young receivers as we have ever had, I can't even think of a group that compares.

    I knew I shouldn’t have tuned in with a 1-0 lead. Gah
  16. OldHeidelberg
    You knew 1-0 was too much to hope for. Gotta score some runs here…crap hate losing tight games to the good teams.
  17. OldHeidelberg
    Looking at the Sox starter looks like a great opportunity to see Yeli hit #200 at home. But they will probably sit him..
  18. OldHeidelberg
    10 games over, finally! I don't know about the Brewers but that was starting to get in my head 😀
  19. OldHeidelberg
    That's crazy, I think Wayne would have nailed that role. He was making a lot of bad movies in the 70's and that could have been a outside the box late career classic for him. Not surprised at all he would turn it down though, but I can see why they wanted him for it.
  20. OldHeidelberg
    4th attempt at getting to 10 games over, let’s get over that hump!

    https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40202788/how-packers-christian-watson-hamstring-issues-eric-stokes Man, this offense could be the best in the NFL if Watson can stay on the field. I usually roll my eyes at offseason articles like this but great to hear Watson going full bore and looking great in camp. Hard to overstate how excited I am about this team and the upcoming season. Fingers crossed on the new D scheme and coaching staff but I am a believer there too.

    I am thrilled with Vikes. Lions, and Bears although I am doubtful I will make the 4 hour trip in January unless game is huge. I always go to the 2nd home game and Vikes are far and away my most hated rival. As for Goff, the way the cap goes up every year they probably aren't doing too much long term damage. The QB's just seem to get the biggest gains when it goes up. I have my doubts he can carry them there but good QB's can win it with a great team around him. I was worried that older guy coming off the ACL they drafted last year would be good but they must not be that high on him at this point.
  23. OldHeidelberg
    With Goff's new deal you have to think Love will be asking for 50+ million now. We didn't get much of a reprieve from a big money QB but that's the going rate.
  24. OldHeidelberg
    Packers decline to pick up Stokes option. Not really a surprise but not drafting a CB until 7th round made me wonder. It’s not like they still can’t extend him if he has a breakout season.
  25. OldHeidelberg
    I think Slaton is a lock, every scheme needs a big run stuffer and none of the others really fit that. Before switching to 3-4 we used Gilbert Brown, Grady Jackson and Pickett at DT. I actually sort of expect Slaton to get extended if he doesn't suck or get hurt next season.
