Desperation makes us all do strange things. You know that, KY.

I once long ago dated a 90% lesbian who would only ever let me get some when she was wasted drunk.

It was good practice, though.

I "dated" one of those too! Didn't even enjoy it much-- literally awkward-- but she was hot and the whole challenge made it more exciting.

That sweet moment when you finally break on thru.

You are rolling in revery in that 10% while she's thinking of some girl.

[smuggler]

Sounds like my ex haha. She was at least honest about it. Still tries to date men, though. No clue.

Maybe he should start using that voodoo on opposing teams' players: "I see Teddy Bridgewater as a pro bowler this coming year, based on what I've heard about his offseason work."

Next thing you know, Teddy's signing with the Jaguars practice squad or a new arena football league.

Visions of Christian Ponder,.... just released by the Broncos on Tuesday.

Nah, that guy could never read a defense to save his life and his accuracy was terrible.

That said, Bridgewater has regressed for whatever reason. Last year he's looking off safeties and connecting on 70% of his passes, including midrange ones.....not this year.

I wasn't suggesting that Bridgewater IS like Ponder, I was suggesting (hoping!) that maybe Fritz's voodoo proposal could make him into Ponder!

I NEVER saw that sumbitch have a good game.

He must have been a college phenom.

I think he had most of one versus the Packers unit he threw a back pick.

But that was the era when the Packer pass defense was making Joe Webb look average. So we should adjust for degree of non-difficulty.

So is Adams the guy who needs to work on his preparation? Is the ankle still bothering him? I think the expectations were higher for him thanks to all the offseason talk, but still...he's been a below average starter.

Adams would seem to be one guy who does work on his preparation, based on his playing time and number of targets.

Adams just got over his skis this season, mainly because of the loss of Jordy.

I really think the preparation bit was aimed more at the RBs, and one in particular.

I was thinking Janis as well.

I give Janis a pass. Video games are the only way he sees any action.

elitist. I bet you have a season pass to Breckenridge or something too.

[Patler]

I kind of doubt that, because there was an article about how dedicated he was to his ST responsibilities and preparation, how much film he studied and how hard he worked at the details of it. If he did that for ST's, I expect he would be just as dedicated to his prep on offense.

C'mon, Patler. How much prep work do you need to sit on the bench?

I should have distinguished my diagnosis from Rodgers' comments. I don't think Janis isn't studying (or playing video games instead*) but I do think that knowledge is not translating to the practice field. If it had, like it seems to have for Adams, RichRod and Monty, then I don't think JJ is relegated to the fifth WR role.

I don't think Rodgers is only disappointed in the lack of prep work, but the absence of results at practice.

As we have discussed before, the time might be well past that this should matter this season, but my sense is that Janis is still not getting something right in practice.


*He did say he was possibly taking his iPad hunting with him over one of their mini-bye weeks. I doubt that is the best way to study, but at least his heart is in the right place.

Nah. Copper. Breck's always packed.

knew it! Great powder out there (or so I'm told by my old friend who used to own Wilderness Sports up in Silverthorne...)
Haven't skied in almost 30 years now, but I did get some chances back then to ski in Utah - Brighton and Snowbird. Now I am getting all nostalgic
