Mongo doesn’t need advice. Phx doesn’t need advice. What they need is to talk football.

Training camp thread
Its been good for a long time. PHX had the problem with Mongo and I just tried to offer advice which of course went off the rails. I'll go back not saying anything stupid that lights fires. You need that commitment from everyone to make this work. Having different opinions is not a hostile act, everyone needs to understand the difference. Just review how this situation faired up and you will have a better understanding why this happens.

Bears vs. Bengals
What a load of horseshit. Suggesting the all 22 was not arrogant at all. You may choose to read me that way but it doesnt make it true. Also with what youve just posted, your dislike for me is clear - youre not a fair arbiter, youre just another one of the bully wannabes here. I dont care if people disagree with me, but the personal attacks are something youd never allow for yourself. So be fair.

Bears vs. Bengals
Simple. I already explained why your initial post about the 22 film subscription might seem arrogant to many posters. You took it personally. Mongo tried to explain why your opinion that chip blocks cannot help when the blocker is being pushed back, losing his anchor, was incorrect. (BTW, he was correct.) You took it personally. You seem to take any response to your posts that is not in full agreement personally. You then go on the offensive. Posters respond. The fighting begins. You were banned once, not for simply saying someone's opinion was stupid. It was for repeatedly flaming other posters who disagreed with you. When I tried to "moderate" you, you attacked me. I banned you. Several posters who weren't involved in the flame wars, but were tired of reading all the nonsense, sent me private messages thanking me for banning you. I actually received advice from another admin on the forums when I gave you such a short ban. Actually, it was in the form of a question. I was asked why I didn't issue a permanent ban. So the solution is simple. Stop taking offense when someone disagrees with you. Accept the fact that we all have a right to our own opinion without having to defend it. And most importantly. If you don't like being insulted, don't insult other posters and expect them to accept your flaming response without reciprocation. Or I will indeed moderate, as you requested.

Bears vs. Bengals
cool so we can fight then? all that sarcasm about the all 22 didnt happen before my comment? come on dude be fair, one way or the other. It sounds like its fine to fight back, is that what youre saying? I dont want to break any rules, but i dont want to have to take it without responding either. Please give guidance.

Bears vs. Bengals
So you call him a troll or a dumbass, and when he responds that you should change your tampon, you complain, acting as if he was unprovoked? Seriously?
-
Training camp thread
YES. I dont initiate any of this. Please lets have some moderation here, or tell us that we are free to fight nasty. Im not gonna keep taking this nonsense year after year and then be punished when I simply defend myself. I only want to talk about football. My recent crime is that i suggested that people might want to know the all 22 is only $80. That and that I suggested the a chip block is more effective at containing the rusher from going outside than helping on a bull rush. Seriously, we are either going to clean this up now, or Im gonna roll up my sleeves and go for it. I would VASTLY prefer the former.

Bears vs. Bengals
OK board, are we gonna devolve into fighting now, and then youre all gonna blame me again or is someone gonna tell this rude simp to behave himself? Pix, I got a weeks band for saying an idea was "stupid" - what does the tampon comment get someone here? I will go the speed of traffic, if this board is gonna be rough, then ill be rough too. But Im sick of taking this nonsense and then being punished when I respond? So this time Im asking a mod or someone to either put a stop to it, or tell me I am free to return fire. Which is it?

Can you both please stop. Your like that movie Grumpy Old Men, we already seen that years ago.

Saw that too. Cronin says ‘nothing too worrisome’. What I had seen was he removed a brace when going to the sideline. Didn’t realize he was nursing an injury (torn UCL - Ulnar Collateral Ligament - back of elbow) from last season.

Training camp thread
Back to making stupid comments. Stick to football. If it was just me you have problems with, I get that because you dont like me , but you have butt heads with several other people that does not involve me. At some point you need to self evaluate or just continue to butt heads with several people.

Bears vs. Bengals
I explained it to you, so you must be hard-headed or butt hurt. I've both played this technique and coached it. Go change your tampon.

Bears vs. Bengals
if the player is getting a bull rush, and cant handle it, then the chip isnt really going to help. If a player is getting around the LT to the outside, then a chip is much more effective. You certainly must know this, so youre either a troll or a dumbass - which is it?

Training camp thread
you know what? Stop worrying so much about my state of mind. i obviously live rent free in yours. Why not just talk about Football? Do you love me or something?

Waiting for word on Darnell’s injury.

That might be better than handing Poles a 3rd rounder that he likes to bobble. Heck, even a team like the Eagles who like to buy decent low cost DTs might be interested. They trade a 4th and then get a 3rd comp pick if he tears it up on a stacked defensive line.

Training camp thread
He may get some safety help, but he damn sure isn't getting LT help. Best bet is a 4th round pick

Training camp thread
Just in a couple preseason games, we see a 6th round rookie creating more havoc than Dexter has. Not that Dexter is a bad player, just doesn't fit what Allen wants. Maybe rejoin Eberflus in SF or Cunningham in Atlanta to help repay the Bears for losing the comp picks.

Training camp thread
Dexter for a starting-quality safety or Left OT would be nice. If draft capital, I wouldn't let him go cheap (day 2 pick +). If the Bears weren't planning to sign him next year (I'm sure he will want big $$$), then trade him if the compensation makes us a better team. That could give VDB a chance to start.

Training camp thread
My normal thought process is keep good players if we are actually going to make a SB run. I watch Greg Gabriel regularly and he mentioned after we picked up several DTs, that Dexter doesnt really fit DAs defense and could be traded. I rejected the thought but, for this to function how DA wants to play his D, it makes sense. Dont know if they do, but he doesnt have a high ceiling, so why not.

Training camp thread
I mentioned earlier that the Bears could trade Gervin Dexter. Looks like rumors about the possibility are starting to swirl. A. He doesn't quite fit the Bears DT profile size and ability. B. They signed and drafted guys that do fit and have options. Jarrett, Gallimore, Linch, Street, Van Den Berg, and Dayo/Turner can slide inside. C. His contract is up and they most likely do not renew it due to (A. and B.) So the Bears might be feeling out what the market is. Be nice to get a 3rd from a team looking to improve now.

Even when Ozzy returns he has a long way to go to be above average, but at least has a high ceiling.

TBH, Im not sure Davenport makes the team if Kromah and lynch play well. Lynch and swing out and in . I read where he was liked where ever he played, he has a constant motor.
