For every story of stockton being stand offish with media and fans there are 100s of others of him showing up unannounced at a childrens hospital without any press or cameras and spending the day with sick kids or old ladies. Like i said its what one does when no one is watching that matters. 

Stockton is a D bag, known as a D bag in his hometown, and you are not gonna convince me otherwise.

Mark Rypien does not act like that in Spokane.  That guy gets hammered and sings karaoke in dive bars.

Anyone who drafts Minshew in the first round of their fantasy draft can enter to win a free case of Bud Light, the company announced on Tuesday. Managers who draft Minshew in the first round and go on to win their fantasy football championships can enter to win a season’s supply of free beer.

 

OK who's in?

So the guy that gets hammered in dive bars singing karoke isnt a D but the guy that stays home with his family and just wants to be left alone is?

That makes sense😒

He goes out, talks to people, doesn't act like he is better than anyone else in the room, does what average people do.

Apologies I wasn't up to the minute with your brilliant intellect.  I've kept up with your posts today, and with every response or argument you make, my head explodes out of disbelief.   Time for some ibuprofen.

You’d much rather discuss a few tweets about another meaningless practice where hardly any information is shared?

Well. I don't spend all day in this blog so I wouldn't know if there had been a few tweets or a hundred.  And im not digging through 20 pages of who knows what to find out.

Some of them are d bags.  When the Seahawks held their training camp at Eastern Washington University, as an autograph collector I went out a couple different times.

Some guys are really cool about it, some guys are total d bags.  I didn't mind if they blew me off, but to not sign for a kid wearing your jersey is not cool.

That’s my point. There was literally 5 little kids. No one else. They were very polite. Never liked the guy after that.

Yes, it's strong right. Another point worth mentioning: the RB usually lines up on the opposite side of the formation from the TE. There are multiple reasons for this but they boil down to (1) the RB getting a better view of where he will run  if he gets the ball and (2) the QB can read the weak side LB, DE, and S before  the snap. He  will always have a hot read there if the defense decides to do something funky.

Just to muddy the waters further, in my day on my team we had a "strong" tackle and guard and a "quick" tackle and guard. The Eagles run that basic system although, because the NFL is such a passing league now, the LT stays home on most run plays. You will note that our RG rarely pulls except in a screen. It is almost always the LG, i.e. Seumalo. This is part of why I have said in the past that Pryor is not ideal at LG because he's not quick and agile. He's a masher. Not all teams run this system, obviously.  Mike Iupati has always played LG if my memory serves and he' is strictly a masher.  When  Evan Mathis was here he was a terrific LG. Alan Faneca at Pittsburgh was another such. Brooks and now Peters are RGs in Stout's system. Chance Warmack played LG for Stout at Alabama but he turned out to be too slow at the position for the pros.

I think that is why Juriga was a priority FA this year.  He excels at getting to the second level and seems a likely LG and C.  Opeta makes sense as a LG but seems limited in other areas.

Meh. Never know what he could have been dealing with that day. Kids should be taught not to idolize athletes anyway.

Arnold looks good right now because they aren't tackling. His highlight film is full of nice plays, but if you watch a Baylor game, he misses a ton of tackles. I think he, Shaun Bradley and Duke Riley have vastly benefitted from a lack of preseason games that would highlight how bad at tackling they are. 

Juriga has a starring role in Raequon William's highlight tape as an observer on a play where Williams absolutely destroys the WMU qb. Obviously one play shouldn't sink him, but it isn't great. I can't see another GM banging the table to pick up this guy. Killins makes some sense because he's super fast, but Juriga strikes me as indistinguishable from any of the other dozens of oline guys who come out each year.

He’s made up numerous fallacies today.  Let him roll with it.   

You know its one thing when you directly act like a D to me personally its another when you go out of your way to bad mouth me to other posters.

Grow up, i can take the incessant put downs and name calling from you its nothing new but when you start campaigning to other posters to take your side in the put downs you come off as a spoiled teenage girl.

You got a problem with me be a man about it and address me like an adult instead of a petty child.

I would wonder if the term strong side actually pre-dates the forward pass.  So what difference would the handedness of the quarterback make.  

Another poster brought this up and said that the design of formation with the right side being the strong side has more to with the run game than the pass game and was designed with a right handed qb in mind.

Which makes sense since the forward pass came much later.

Thats cool sounds like a nice guy.

Maybe john stockton is an introvert.

My wife (wives😉) shes incredibly nice and charming and shes also an introvert and would rather not talk to people unless required to do so for her job. 

John stockton by all accounts is a good human, hes loyal to his family well respected in the nba and by his colleagues and the gonzaga community. Hes also standoffish with the public and fans and doesnt go out and mingle with his community. Doesnt make him a jerk because he doesnt want to hang out at a karaoke bar. Im sure if he went to a. Bar he'd go to the one his dad owns in town no?

I thought you just said I can’t stand on my own?  LOL.  I have been arguing your points all day.  And correcting you all day.  Take it personal, I really don’t care.  But you can go back and see all of my points that corrected you.  They obviously fell on deaf ears.   You want someone to attack the message.  I have.  

 Every time i brought up a counter point youd just insult me directly or to another poster which isnt surprising because even in your attempts at "correcting"me you threw the insults. I know you ive lived with you my whole life, my brother every time wed argue he couldnt do so with out name calling insults and intimidation. Funny he used to always say the same thing, " take it personal i really dont care" thats a bish way out of taking responsibility for being a D by suggesting im at fault for taking things personal when you make things personal.
