The NFL moving this game to 4:25 is more evidence they want Brees in the SB

Like seriously, why?! What on earth could other reasons be for randomly out of the blue moving this game to an early evening one? NFL rarely moves time slots for games this early in the season, usually it happens weeks 14-16, but now?!

You might be asking what on earth this has to do with Brees? It’s simple, which would be easier for us? Playing this game early during the afternoon and sunshine, or playing this game where it will be pitch dark by half time in a freezing Lambeu field?! 

Us and the Packers aren’t division rivals, we aren’t tied for the same record or anything, there is no interesting story line for this game at all, why?! WHY?!?

Maybe the NFL assumes people want to see MVP candidate running back CMC against a Packers run defense that is prone to giving up big plays.  Maybe they also assume that people want to see two teams who are still in the playoffs race square off against each other.

Look at the games this week. The only one even arguably with more national appeal is Cowboys-Vikings which is already the Sunday night game. I'm also not sure this game is as impactful to the Saints in the way you are implying. I doubt they're too worried about us with a 2 game lead, better division record and 2 games of Brees vs Allen left on the schedule. You could easily argue that us beating GB is better for them because it gives them an easier path to a first round bye.

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
