As much as I highly disagree with how @Rush runs the place, the one thing he has been consistent in, is he isn't going to ban people, ANYONE, for just "words". And unlike your totalitarian self, he applies it to everyone equally.

Last time he was on here, I gave him such epic shit over how he runs things and called out some of his bullshit. He gave as good as he took, and here I am, still here, posting.

That alone makes me respect him a bit more, because despite our differences, he isn't a hypocrite. And I don't think he'd become one just because you asked...

The OL is obviously still a work in progress, but I like the way Poles methodically addressed the position in FA and the draft then evaluated what he had in camp and re-addressed needs with vets who fit the scheme.

So much national attention goes to splash moves but this is the right way to build.

Yeah, it is so rare that a LT taken on the third day of the draft can actually start as rookie. I only found two that have been day one starters playing a full season, Bakhtiari of the Pack and Moore from the Steelers. Hope Jones can be the next.
I think there was local kid that played T for a west coast team about 2 decades ago but the name evades me. I'm surprised that Jones lasted as long as he did since he held up well at the Senior bowl and the 1st time he played against that level of competition. The arrow was only pointing up.

I like that they’re using bunch trips. Everything I’ve seen on Morehouse and GB’s offense leans towards bunch trips being an integral part of the O.

I really see them using Harry as a standup blocker, like a move TE. If ESB is able to keep on shining, I see them using Harry with him and Kmet to create a power blocking formation that functions like a jumbo 3TE Formation, but is consisting of 3 WRs!

This is an incredible advantage.

Any ESPN+ subscribers that can weigh in on their OL rankings that just came out?

How the **** are the Bears 11th best?
Projected starters: Riley Reiff, Cody Whitehair, Lucas Patrick, Michael Schofield III, Larry Borom

Predicted pass block rank: No. 13
Predicted run block rank: No. 11

This is a pretty stunning rank for the Bears' offensive line, but they have a few things going for them. Reiff and Schofield -- late additions just before training camp -- help bolster the line. Borom, a fifth-round pick a year ago, posted a very solid 90% PBWR last season in 10 games, 21st among tackles. And Patrick should be an asset in the ground game after ranking third in RBWR among centers last season with the Packers.



@nc0gnet0 Lions ranked 26th in these metrics. Thoughts?

Oh, I know. We're good. But just explaining how dangerous a thing it is to want someone gone based on personality or because you don't like them. It's a slippery slope, and a bad mentality to get into.

Now if there was a clear standard that was suddenly set and applied to everyone equally, with ample warning it was going into effect, that would be different (and would just mean this place finally was being moderated properly), but that isn't how you portrayed the outreach to Rush. ;)
