We knew his season could be bumpy, add Watson and Bakh situations and this start was predictable. Let’s see if Love can put something together and get some momentum for Thursday for the O
That 17 million of new money in 23 was brought up quite a bit in the discussion here last year, maybe some was roster bonus but of course after the restructure I can’t prove anything so I will let it go since I certainly could be wrong.
ok I looked 9.5 roster bonus and 5.5 base was converted to bonus. That’s 15, right? And weekly per game bonuses? How far off do you think 17 million is?
Brewerfan,
Bakh had a 17 million dollar base salary for 23 (pre restructure)that was not guaranteed, yes it would have been a huge dead cap hit but he was cuttable and would have saved some cap space and got us out from under that contract. I gave them the benefit of the doubt that they know more than we do about the knee but at this point it looks like the wrong decision. 40 million cap hit next season…
They said on the radio Bakh played on Thursday last year after playing on Sunday so he has actually taken a step back after an offseason. Throwing good money after bad just hoping they can squeeze something out of that unfortunate contract. Oh well, let’s get this one.I am going to the game Thursday so would be nice to go in 2-1. Go Pack!
Bak, Watson, Jones, Alexander all out. I don’t know what the number was after the restructure but Bak was due 17 million in new money this year, I have no idea what the FO was thinking, same guy as last year.
During the season last year I was sure they would move on but I am not sure they ever considered releasing him. I agree, we need the rock Bakh who you can plug in there and forget about but that guy is gone. Any update on Jenkins? Sort of under the radar during the game but they said knee injury.
Yeah 24 points should have been enough but I knew the game was lost the second Dillon failed on that 3rd down. Defense was done at that point. Was just hoping for a missed Fg.
I am not too optimistic on this one, I am sure a lot of it is the bad injury news but starting off 2-0 on the road feels like too much for such a young team. I also hate our D against an elite RB, we always tackle poorly. Hopefully we get them in some 3rd and longs and get turnovers. Will Wilson be the #2 guy today or Taylor?
I was thinking when he was cruising early against a bad team that he would finally get his 10th win and how long that has taken. But nope, it’s weird but baseball is like that.
I am guessing he really wanted to get through 6 with Burnes tonight for bullpen management and I can’t blame him for hoping for one more out through 4 hitters from his ace.
I wonder if we are just too predictable with Dillon back there. The Bears seemed to be in the backfield every play when he got the ball. But yeah he was awful yesterday and for most of last season too. I think he had a ton of carries at BC, maybe one of those players who hits a career wall early.
Wyatt had a great game, I am really high on our DL and they showed up today. Great seeing them stuffed on 2 straight QB sneaks early, if the Packers did it twice I would be pissed. Try something else
Great win to usher in the Love era! And Vikes lost! My only quibbles would be all the undisciplined penalties but things were pretty chippy on both sides. Also the deep throw accuracy continues to be not so great for Love but as long as he gets the job done in the end.🙂
