Last season, following the Packers’ 8-8 finish, many fans were calling for the firing of secondary coach Kurt Schottenheimer. After this season, you don’t hear too many of those calls any more.

Ryan Howard is as strong as a ox . That’s the first thing you notice when watching him. He’s a huge lefthander 6′4″ 255. I love his demeanor he’s a young player but calm beyond his years. Howard hit 58 home runs in 2006. He was the 2006 …
