Wild Card Game: Packers @ Cowboys - Sunday, Jan 14 3:30pm
BrewerFan replied to homer's topic in Other Sports
Impressive Flop Jayden! LeBron would be proud! -
It'd be funnier if Drake Maye said the same! They're so close to figuring it out. New OC who can run the offense. Get a LT. I know they think Braxton Jones is the guy, but he's not. Wright is a good start at RT. DJ Moore is a helluva WR. Kmet is a good TE. They won't though. They'll hedge and go defense and their...** Checks notes...entire history of their franchise of not having a QB to throw for 30TDs will continue!

Yes. I also know what he wrote here and he wasn't trying to trade them. He literally just listed the outcomes that were possible. IF he was talking about Wilken playing SS because that's what he played in AAU and we could have the best offensive SS, I'd be disagreeing with him...but he didn't. It starts with how either can be the future 3B, then the other can play elsewhere with the DH and 1B. Then, the possibility they could be traded in a huge move at the deadline.
-
Kinda does though. You're talking about the Bucks defensive issues and then the ONLY player you mention is...Lopez. And how bad he's been for years. I'd say it's relevant that he was a DPOY ner-up last season. -I think most 7-footers are probably better defensively in the paint than they are out on the perimeter defending people. And I'm just completely ignoring...what now? The thing I address in the very next paragraph? Oh! You found the part I was "completely ignoring!" Now, just the list of good perimeter defenders who are 7-foot, who can protect the paint and shoot? Let's make one of those, then see who we'd be better off with. So over the last 2 days, it went from the coaching doesn't matter in the NBA, to they just made this huge change? And it's the change that led to the last staff being fired. I don't think that is what got Bud fired at all. Brook Lopez and his ability(or inability I guess) to defend out on the perimeter. If THAT is why Bud got fired, then Horst and his entire staff should go because...they probably knew from the jump that Lopez wasn't a good perimeter defender(probably why they've supplemented the roster with the likes of Tucker or Crowder). I find it beyond ridiculous that we're putting the newfound defensive shortcomings of this team on Brook Lopez.
-
C'mon...they're playing lazy and not doing the little things, but that's not a coaching issue because coaches don't really matter in the NBA? He was runner-up for DPOY last year. Lopez was the 2nd best defender last year in the Miami series and outstanding vs Boston the year before. The Bucks have Giannis. How many teams have a big man who can defend inside and play perimeter defense at an elite level in the NBA? There are a handful of them. Giannis(and he's really not a great on-ball defender on the perimeter), Bam...maybe Jaren Jackson. It's a very short list. They completely changed the makeup of their team from a defensive-minded team to an offensive-minded one. They changed their coaching staff and then underwent a significant change right before the season. On top of that, Middleton working his way back...it wasn't going to be a seamless transition, but hanging this on Lopez makes zero sense to me. He's +1.1 DBPM, Defensive rating is 2nd on the team at a solid 115. He's not the problem.

These are professional athletes in their mid 20s for the most part and the "old guys," are in their early 30s. The back-to-back excuse is lame. The Bucks played well and they shot the lights out. Boston was sloppy. This could have happened to either team on the 2nd of a B2B or coming off a 4 day rest.
-
Yeah...money they'd already budgeted for. Not like this was a big surprise or some huge outlay of capital. The Yankees spent over 30M today on Soto. That's not really newsworthy. Trading for him was. Not agreeing to an exact figure when they already had pretty good idea of what they were spending anyway.

Garrett Mitchell to Rockies idea
BrewerFan replied to Scooterfletcher's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
The Rockies(I think). It'd be foolish...IMO, to trade away a pitcher with his ability for a team on their timeline. But, they are about as poorly managed as a franchise can be...so maybe they will. They're worse than the Angels. I can at least see why the Angels did the things they did. Keep Ohtani, Trout, the biggest stars in the game, try and win... The Rockies moves have no discernable reason behind them. Sign Bryant after trading Arrenado and taking on a bunch of his salary...and getting little in return for example.- 1 reply

Wild Card Game: Packers @ Cowboys - Sunday, Jan 14 3:30pm
BrewerFan replied to homer's topic in Other Sports
He rolled his ankle and he was walking without a limp 4 days before the game. I'm guessing he'll be fine. MLF just talked about there being an element of gamesmanship. I do not think Jaire will miss this game over a sore ankle. -
I wouldn't say he's "trying to trade one." He's just laying out all the possible options. His suggested that they could play 1B or DH first and THEN said they could also be used in a trade. And who knows what the team will look like by then. It's just an honest analysis.
-
Are the Badgers on Peacock tonight? And what about Marquette?
-
That'd still make him a pretty small DE...but I assume you're talking about when they're in their sub packages? I'm not sure why they even say they run a 3-3-5. It's pretty much always a nickel front or more of a 4-3 look with a safety up near the LOS. He's work well as an edge in any of those. If they are going to play more stack, they need big bodies up there. A big ole' nose tackle and a couple of big DEs., In any event, they got two big time transfers for that front 7 in 24 hours, so IDC where Witt plays, just hope to see the kid healthy and rushing the passer.
-
We could have gotten Haliburton+ for what we gave up for Jrue. But, we're past that now. I hope it doesn't prove to be a mistake. I think he'll adjust(maybe hope is more accurate).
-
I'm simply saying there is a direct correlation between DL play and the play of your MLBer. That it makes a big difference when the OL has to take an extra beat or two on their initial combo block at the LOS before going after the LBer...and that the DL has gotten better as well.
-
Alt is about as sure a thing as any player I've ever seen. I have never watched a college player and been more convinced they'd be an immediate impact player and a star. I don't think he's got any character issues and he's only played LT for a couple of years. ND has a really good RT in Blake Fischer(who I'd happily take in the 4th). He was an elite recruit. Alt was a TE. At 6'8, he transitioned to LT, beat out Fischer after he started as a Freshmen. Alt just moves sooo smoothly and dominates in the pass game, in the run game. He moves people and he walls off. Vs OSU, they've got two edges who'll get drafted and he absolutely locked down Jt Tuimoloau. He looked like a young Tyron Smith. He's not 380 like Becton. He's not a clown and I don't think you worry about legal trouble. Fashanu has the upside and he has the risk. I don't think there is much risk with Alt. But I'm not a scout, I'll leave it up to the Packers...and as I said, if I am right, he'll be out of reach even with 19, 41 and 82.
-
They're kinda stuck. They look similar to Boston early on with Udoka...and then they figured it out(though the Bucks seemed to have it figured out and then regressed). I don't think we're going to see a coaching change this year, so we just have to hope they can get good minutes from Beauchamp, Jackson...Crowder when he comes back. I don't think there's a quick fix, nor do I think a trade does a whole lot for us based on who's likely to be available and I don't want to see Jackson, Beauchamp or Livingston traded. It wouldn't be a firm line in the sand, I just really like those three as future contributors. Jackson more than the others could become a big part of the rotation. He's already an outstanding defender, makes the right plays and he's hitting those corner 3s.
-
I totally disagree. Getting an elite, AP-caliber LT is well worth 19, 41, and a 3rd. Especially in a year in which you have an additional 2nd and 3rd. I don't think it'll happen because the teams sitting in those positions need a LT themselves and I think it'd actually take more than that to move up to get Alt(hopefully there are a run of QBs). They're lucky that Zach Tom gives them options. I think Fuaga will be an outstanding RT and that allows you to kick Tom over to LT. You may have to move up a few spots. Safety is the biggest weakness, but it's also the easiest position on defense to fill. I wouldn't touch McKinstry. Dejean would be alright as he can cover and help out immediately on STs, but I think you have to upgrade the OL first. If this whole year was dependent on Love and we're all happy just given what we saw from him...it'd make more sense to me to give him help and a young OL. I'd still even double up there with Runyan gone. Fuaga/Mims in Rd 1 and then come back with Barton, Bebbe, Amegadjie, someone like that in Rd 2@ 41. There are a lot of safeties in the 60-100 range they could target who could help. Bishop, Brade, Bullock(not my favorite, more of a CF type S). Aside from DeJean, I think it'll depend on what they do at DC to some degree. James Williams is another interesting player who they could look at in the 3rd.
-
Yeah, they can, but there's a difference between him and McDuffie shooting the gap(for instance). They can both do it, but Walker has better timing and the athletic ability to slip blocks. It's not about NO OL being in front of him, it's if it's Wyatt and instead of maintaining his gap, he gets outside of it, the OT can handle him and the OG is immediately climbing. That's what makes it tough. I remember it was either the same year or a year apart, people were talking about Ray Lewis and Urlacher both declining. They drafted Ngata and Tommie Harris and each returned to AP level play. Walker had to get better at shedding, but that position, like RB, is dependent on their respective lines(IMO).
-
Hey...we'll give them another HOFer in...~15 years. Lets say 17 with the rules protecting the QB😁 I don't want to keep spamming these, but you can skip to 9 minutes here(if you'd like). The Vikings fan is just despondent...and it is BEAUTIFUL!
-
That's a bit strange to me, but maybe it's simply an age thing. Younger players, a looser locker room, more relaxed. Both Rodgers and Favre have talked about relating to younger players...could be that simple. Though there's a flip side to that and it's been some undisciplined play. A lot of penalties, particularly on STs. I love this video though. Starting at ~9 minutes the "are you kidding me?" And then the Vikings fan covers his face and says, "so nothing's changing...he owns the division!"
-
I won't argue with that...but that you're comparing the two says a helluva lot about Belichick.
-
Same here. Time just flies when they're talking about your franchise QB that everyone's just trashed for the last 4 years!
-
Yeah, he'd get caught up in the wash a bit, but I tend to believe that's more the result of the DL play. With this DL playing well, you see McDuffie, Campbell, and Quay all have free lanes, the OL isn't getting to the next level as easily or as quickly. Kenny Clark has been outstanding...in the base or the nickel(they've been stopping the run out of the nickel well enough also). Slaton has been good, and Wyatt has really improved. Hard for me to give Barry props for doing something that was...pretty basic. You have a guy like Fields, the Browns had 2 spies on him at times. I DO begrudgingly give him credit for doing something other than just a delayed blitz from Walker into the B gap...one that was so predictable and that they'd been using over and over.
-
LOL...it's just so much sweeter after EVERYTHING we heard all off-season about how the Packers were going back to the 80s era, how we'd fall way off... I don't know how the hell Bears fans do it. 30 years of franchise QBs and then we went about 8 weeks not knowing if we had our QB of the future! The Bears fans have been going through this since the Germans were marching through Europe! Sid...Luckman!
