Duke Preston Signed

[packrulz]

I don't know why everyone wants to get rid of Wells, he's 6'2", 303lbs, is that small? http://www.packers.com/team/players/wells_scott/ The o-line was a mess last year, due to injury, it was always in a state of flux, they could never stay with the same five guys for more than a game or two, plus, M3 wasn't very committed to the running game anyway. I think opening day the line will be Cliffy/Spitz/Wells/Sitton/Preston, Taucher will probably get his job back at RT when he gets healthy and Preston will be a quality back up. Moll really struggled replacing Taucher, if they cut anyone, it might be him. I think College has a good chance of beating out Clifton for the LT job, Cliffy's knees might be shot. Of course, if TT drafts an OT, that might change everything.

There's different kinds of 6'2", 300 lbs....

I worked with a chick that was 6'2", 300 lbs... she was an ass kicking bitch, but I doubt she could move Pat Williams off the ball.

You hear all this about how Wells was a wrestler, and plays with great leverage... if that were the case, he'd win the majority of snaps, but plain and simple he doesn't.

If he really is 300 lbs, it doesn't translate to the field.

From his Wikipedia page:

Duke is widely believed to be the best golfer in the NFL.

Too bad Longwell wasn't still around. That guy played a mean game too.

Snake's a pretty mean golfer too, yet would bitchslap Longwell if he tried some mulligan BS...Hard to bitchslap a physical beast like Duke when he outweighs ya by 100 lbs.

I think this is a pretty deece TT type signing though, and must be cheap, as the 2 years implies, yet it looks like a project deal as he got his ass beat by many top DL guys last year via the JS article, but noted that he might be our Center??? WTF? That would have to be the biggest center at 6'5" 325 Snake can EVER remember. Dayummm.....

What would a day on the links be without a little "bitchslapping", lol )

Supposed to get 7 inches of snow tonight

Shot 43 first time out last week... lost three balls, hook, duff, fat, thin... all over the place, couple of fluke birdies saved further embarrassment, lol

Wist, if I ever shot a 43 I would have an orgasm right on the ninth hole.

Don't be complaining about that score.

Were you not counting all of your shots (a Mulligan per hole????) including penalty shots, or were you playing a par 3 course???

2001, September 13, I go out in 39..... My handicap is 21.7. I was still drunk from the early hours. In fact, we didn't hit our beds until 6 am and we tee'd off at 10. So, that's a pretty incredible 9 right there.

My playing partners were both really pissed off at me, cause there were some bets rolling around.

Anyway, we had a coupla beers at the halfway house.

I came in with 58. Didn't even play my hcp!

Jeez I love Marbella!!

Never take mullies (usually, lol)... however, I did hook one on to the driving range off the 1st tee - and since no one was looking )

Normally expect to be under 40... that goes up as the beer goes down though

Ugly nine, with a lot of good breaks - one of those birdies came off a completely missed green, hit a tree, and it bounded and fumbled to 10 feet, made the putt. Not gonna feel guilty though, had a great time, laughed a lot - was with my brother, and he really stunk

So that was you at the Silk Exotic golf outing??? Heard they can't go back to that GC

[Fritz]

Nope - I stopped playing. I realized
I'd have to take lessons and practice only on the range for two years before I'd even be close to competent. That sounded like a job, and I already have one of those.

First round, first tee, that was a simple warm-up!

If this new guy jumps offside a lot, can we call him The Duke of Earl?



Get it?

Exactly. Wells isn't the strongest center out there, that's for sure. Wells' value, and it is huge value, is the fact that he is so intelligent. His line calls are almost always correct. His technique is excellent. Characteristics like those are what has enabled him to last as long as he has thus far in this league. Characteristics like those are why I'm not so thrilled with the prospect of losing him.

I'm hoping Spitz beats out Wells because I think Spitz has upside, while Wells is as good as he is going to get, which is just average. I respect Wells for making himself into the best player he can be, but if the Packer's OL is to be better than average, they need more from the Center position than Wells can give them.

Yes. BTW, the song of that name is stuck in my head now. Thank you very little.
