I was going to stay out of this and let someone else butt egos with you but since you brought my name up several times, you opened the door. You clearly always have to be right, how many times in our arguments did you throw in my face  how right you were with Justin, Flus, so many to mention. I dont know how many times you stated how good you were at watching tape and  how stupid I was for having a different opinion. You complain that Mongo got personal with the phycological stuff when you do it all the time with your personal insults.

You are right it ok to have different opinions, but just like this argument you expose yourself . You make statements like (If im wrong, so be it) and (Im being super patient and respectful.) (And to the psychological stuff, I think it's enough of that -) 

You have to always try to control all arguments. I didnt play OL in college or am great at watching tape but have opinions based on what I notice. Every time I posted a former player , a former coach, or a football pundit, you always down played their difference of opinion, by saying ( how great you are at watching tape).

Its ok to have difference of opinions but If you dont like it, you have to turn it into a 500 word essay on why you're right. It would be easier to just say I disagree and keep it civil on here.

Today's practice tweets didn't look good for Braxton.  Gave up a sack on an ugly rep and got blown up on a run play.  Didn't hear anything on Ozzy.  Benedet got a lot of time with the first team.  BJ said the battle is wide open and doesn't seem happy about it.

If no one has been singled out that means  no one has been good enough. I think next week, he will pick someone and roll with it ,good or bad. How are you watching practice? Or just videos after the practice?

The real wild card is at some point does Wright flip to LT and we see Trapillo at RT.

The downfall is it doesn’t sound like Wright is shining either.

If they dont like his play at RT, why would they flip him?

Ive wondered this since the day we drafted Trapilo. Im not a fan of moving people around, but i can also understand this move - but better to have done it in June, so i think its not likely? Probably more a matter of seeing how Trapilo would be as a swing tackle?

That won't happen at this point of camp.  Just listened to a great interview with Thayer and he was on top of everything. 

Starting with Braxton, he said he probably won't be at full strength until after the bye.  He was also critical of him, saying he hasn't put in the necessary work in the weigh room in previous seasons.  This year is the anomaly, due to the injury.  But do we trust that he'd do the hard work for the new staff?  Trust me, leg day is the least popular day in the gym. 

He stated that Thuney is the best left tackle on the team as of now, but doesn't want him in their until all else fails.  That's why it's won't be Wright.

Lastly, he discussed the reps situation with the team.  New system and new cadence is going to take around another 2500 reps to get it locked in, so he expects the playbook to be simpler the first couple of weeks.  The linemen and receivers are committing a high level of false starts and illegal motion penalties as a result.  They have Caleb mixing up his inflections and that is the cause.  The rest of the offense needs to remember the snap count and not the inflection. 

Side note:  They had Mike Tirico on before Thayer and he thinks all four teams can compete for the division and/or the playoffs.  He was also at practice and said Caleb looked better than last year and overall good.

All of this info can be heard on the ESPN Chicago app.  Waddle and Silvey show between 3 and 4 Chicago time.

this sounds all correct. Its so late in the year for not knowing who your LT is.
