Allbright blocked me when I called him out on his claims that when someone presses him about one of his fake claims, he has a long drive ahead of him and he'll get around to it.

Dudes a fucking **** of the highest order and he gets away with it because he has dirt on someone.

He's a social media scrote.

Def needs more power. He can move really well tho, which is why I can guess poles likes him. Hopefully a full offseason in the NFL improves his strength drastically, but I feel like we said that about a lot of intriguing bears oline prospects over the years. Fairly certain people said the same exact thing about mustipher his rookie year
The difference here is Mustipher went to Notre Dame and was a UDFA. Jones was drafted out of a small school, so he's more likely to have upside and room to get stronger, whereas Mustipher was limited. If he didn't get that anchor strength at an OL factory with a state of the art facilities, he wasn't going to do it in the NFL.

it's too late now, he should have been a RT and developed for a few years into a LT. I am hoping they see this and sign a LT in free agency but am not counting on that.

My hope was they would draft Fashanu top 5-10, put him at LT and move Jones to RT. I just don't see any FA LTs out there that's going to have the potential to be a stud going forward like a top draft pick would. So, the more likely scenario is to add a FA at RT and keep Jones there, whether he's ready or not.

he gets beat A LOT by good rushers. I do like Jones ceiling, he needs a lot of work.

EDIT: Phenomenal run blocker

You think there's a chance fashanu changes his mind about not entering? Doesn't really make sense for him to stay another year, his stock can only go down.

IDK. Tough to tell with NIL money. And he does only have 9 starts in his career, so he could want to get more experience and polish his game. But someone will pay him very well to do that at the NFL level. I'm going to assume he does NOT change his mind, but you never know.

Jewels to get a case of Squirt
Remember them but I didn't really get going until like 97. Chicago south side parties, with Danny the Wildchild and Phantom and crew.
I was not a Jungle guy, but I certainly remember those people. Brings back some memories for sure.

Ripe used to throw parties at the old warehouse on Morgan with the incredible downtown view. There was a big party in probably April of 95 that got busted by the IRS, next morning there was a front page story on it in the Suntimes, and then everything changed and things moved to the suburbs and South Side, Laser Tag venues and roller skating places. I once went to a party in the gym at St. Martin de Porres high school, lol.
