Lol, when was this?

It's called False Equivalency. Somehow celebrating something positive in game (a sack) is somehow equivalent to dancing on logos and disrespecting the other team prior to the game. Even though no team has quibbled about Watt doing his sack dance, yet multiple teams were pissed that Juju was doing his tik tok. But yea totally the same thing!

For the uninitiated
A false equivalence or false equivalency is an informal fallacy in which an equivalence is drawn between two subjects based on flawed or false reasoning. This fallacy is categorized as a fallacy of inconsistency. Colloquially, a false equivalence is often called "comparing apples and oranges."

I mean @WheresRamziAbid generally over exaggerates, the rest of his points were garbage but I thought that point was funny even if no truth to it.

To me, that's irrelevant to whether a Tackle plays the right or left side (QB handedness). Flipping sides as an Olineman has to be 1 of the most difficult things to overcome bc you're doing everything the opposite.
They drafted Jones to be the LT of the future they traded up for him and have called it his natural position they weren’t going to move 3 o line men around moore will be traded

Hang around more old white dudes.

To be clear its not a proliferated thing that catches on big picture but i know a number of people that will complain about literally any celebratory action.

Not what i said at all.

But your ability to comprehend sentences is a you problem not a me problem.

The Watt comparison wasnt even about the logo dancing. It was literally about agreeing with you about the crap Juju get not being racial.

But you would know all this.

1. If you could read
2. If you actually responded to me directly instead of talking about the conversation to someone else.

If you got something to say about a point i made , im right here.

It could be Fautanu is better at RT than Jones. He blocked for Penix who was a left handed Qb.
Understood, but the technique, not the play calling matters. He's used to sliding as a LT. He would have been a LT whether Penix was a lefty or not.

It does make sense to put Jones on the left though, even if he isn't technically a better prospect. He's longer, leaner, and more athletic to handle the best pass rushers. Fautanu can focus more on run blocking on the right side.

Our CB room are a bunch of massive human beings. If they can stay healthy, definitely some bully ball is going to happen.

After watching this, I think Austin and Wilson are both going to have huge years. This is a system Kenny would have actually done well in.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Patrick Queen, but I worry they'll play him all 3 downs 100% of the time. Believe they need to take a closer look at Wilson being the cover backer.
If Wilson can stay healthy, he's definitely the better cover guys. Both of them can blitz. I'd like to see them do that again with their MLBs.

If that ILB room can stay fit, it feels like they can do a ton with it. Everyone can do everything. Even a guy like Elandon Roberts can drop okay into coverage or rush the passer (actually pretty nice stats in sparing usage).

Big difference from units where it felt like some guys couldn't do anything.

Apparently that episode was recorded before Aiyuk's meeting, which supposedly went well

Tbh I don't know why people aren't souring on Aiyuk over this drama with his contract. Is this really any different than what Heyward is doing about his contract extension?

I think we’re looking at like a 3 year attempt here. Which is why if Aiyuk gets paid now it won’t matter when he’s a bitch later, haha.
