I don’t think last week wasn’t the biggest challenge for him but I do agree he is getting better each week.  He needs to avoid getting beaten early to the inside.    The IOL needs to give Caleb room to step up and we can make it through the season.  Last week Been said Ozzy was doing much better and that he should see the field soon.  I’m guessing likely as the 6th Oline on a play.  

I heard Darnell Wright is banged up and might miss the game.  They were talking whether they go with the swing OT Benedict or if Trapilo jumps him as next man up.

I think Braxton is done.  He may be the most Jekyll Hyde lineman we've had in a long time.  One moment he's locking his man down, the next he's getting signed walked.  On another play he may execute perfectly and then turn around and completely block the wrong guy.  I can't tell if he's a space cadet or plain stupid.  He's had time to get healthier, but the mental lapses are still prevalent.  They looked better when Theo took over.

OK, so this exact evaluation is what I was saying several weeks ago that prompted your reaction that I:

1) am a "bitch"

2) dont understand OL play

3) should defer in all opinions about OL to you since you played and I didnt

And that's why I have taken a leave of absence. I could handle cheap shots from one particular member saying things like this that would get you punched in a bar, but I didnt want to fight like that with you too.

I would prefer to simply discuss football.

I will consider coming back at some point, but it has to be really different.

BJ was saying he starts out well and then wears down as the game goes on and starts screwing up. Theo will be the starter going out of the bye week. They gave him a shot and now go to phase 2.

Clearly your ego hasnt changed , you're the one that said Ozzy will be starting because Braxton is bad. You were half right but its not about having an opinion and being wrong, its about you coping an attitude when people disagree with you. Every time I get on, I look to see if you got on the website. You're like a stalker, just start giving your opinions again and stop with the name calling.

no, Ill just say this once.

1) I said Braxton sucks, and so I HOPE Trapilo will supplant him. I predicted the end of Braxton, but not what kind of a player Trapilo would become. I wasnt making any kind of judgement on Benedet, who was not really in the discussion at the time. Just that Braxton sucks. And he does.

2) People can disagree with me all they want, but often i am early seeing something when other dont, and then they start attacking me about it, and once attacked, i absolutely defend myself. But if someone simply disagrees with me, thats FINE. For example, you just called me "stalker" in the same sentence you said not to call people names?

3) I dont think I know everything. Most of what I say is opinion and I say it that way "I think" etc - certainly a lot more than you use that kind of language to be sure.

When I make an actual statement to assert what I think is now a fact about Charles Leno, Fields, Eberflus, Poles, Braxton Jones and the potential of Caleb I have been right every time. I dont make those kind of statements until i am sure, and like i said, that happens often earlier than some others want to see something, so they say Im negative, and call me names.

Thats how things started with you and me too - you couldnt stand that I said that Justin Fields sucked, and you went after me personally calling names and saying things that would generally get people punched in a bar.. Then I asked you to stop, you didnt, then I demanded you stop and you still didnt, and then I finally ramped it up to the point where others on the board told us BOTH to stop. I paid a personal price for that here, but it also got you to stop. Since then, you've been abrasive, but not using the kind of language you were toward me before.

4) I dont cop any attitude with people who disagree with me - I do cop a major attitude when people treat me with disrespect, name calling, profanity and the like.

With most members of this board, I usually agree. Dont forget, before you threw your Justin Fields tantrums Id been here for like 20 years, and wasnt known for that at all was I?

Anyway, I know who you are Stinger, and I dont expect you to understand this or to be able to behave yourself. My problem was when Mongo started it too. I would rather respect the members of this board like him who are worthy of it, and simply disagree if that's what happens.

And a comment here or there is easy to let go, but Mongo was being consistently disrespectful for a couple weeks, so i said what I needed to, and took a leave of absence.

I dont need to re-litigate it all, I am only gonna explain this to you especially just this once. I dont care what you think of it, whether you understand it. Im not gonna go back and forth.

When I do come back, maybe after the bye, I expect ALL of us, myself included, to deal with respect. Like I said, I doubt you personally can do it, but as long as everyone else is cool, there is no need for fighting.

But most of all, this has ALL been about me being early on these topics. Seeing things that other people werent ready to see, or watching film instead of just looking at stats and reading sportswriter narratives.

When I see something, and then I am confident in what I see, that isnt arrogance. And being unwilling to bend to common beliefs is not arrogance, its just confidence, the kind people have when they know theyre right, no matter what everyone else is saying.

And again, the things Ive been right about are just a handful of things. Its not like everything I guess or opine on is set in stone.

But when I talk about Kmet not being up to his paycheck, I got so much hate from you, but now you see it too dont you? Will you remember that thats why you thought I was arrogant, and realize i was right? Or is it just a memory of how you felt, and now that you agree, you still blame me?

I hate talking about all of this - I wont anymore. I'll be back in a few weeks, and I hope people can control themselves from getting personal and then acting like they are a victim when I speak back.

I'll address this only once.  I was messing with you as a brother/friend and you took it the wrong way.  Instead of questioning my intent, you decided to splay me open with a miriad of falsehoods.  It was even in my verbiage.  Look at the posts.  If you can acknowledge that, we can be cool.  If not, screw you...
