I really liked the Hargrave signing but ultimately he plays 50-60% of the snaps. 

60% is ideal for all 3 DT’s. The goal is to rotate them in and out and keep all of them fresh. That leaves you with Ridgeway getting the occasional handful snaps a game as the 4th

Hargrave has more juice then Benny. Hargrave had 4.5 sacks last year and 6.5 the year before playing NT in a 34

Cox had 5.5 last year.

Hes listed at around 305lbs. Hes a better fit in a 43 than a 34 and has some quickness to him.

I rescinded that post.

this is the issue the left driven media creates. 

In this case (I didnt follow the story at all) Ill assume some level of wrong doing of the cops. What I heard was the guy said he had a gun in his car and was going to get it. He was tased first and it didnt work. He leaned in to his car and thats when the cops shot. The question I heard was- Why did it take 7 bullets? Excessive? Im not sure but for the sake of this discussion, sure we will go with that. 

In Floyds case, yeah... wrong doing by the officer/s for sure. 

But the media portrays these guys as angels. Media loved reporting the line where Floyd's daughter said something like "My daddy changed the world" and showing that pic of him with her on his shoulders. Portraying some wonderful family man.

In fact, these guys were horrible, horrible human beings. Though that does not excuse what the officers did in those moments it matters a LOT for a different reason. If the media reports on the part where both resisted arrest, and talks about their criminal history a lot less people are a lot less mad. Its infuriating for this to happen to an innocent person, a hard working, honest man, and wonderful father.  Its not quite so infuriating when it happens to an absolute POS which these guys were. A lot less likely to riot over this. Most of the people protesting and rioting probably have no idea these guys arent who their news channels portrayed them as. 

I was upset by the officers actions in all of these cases cause we should be finding better ways of handling and solving issues that don’t end in death. But i was upset a ton by the Elijah kid in Colorado who was a good kid and did legitimately nothing wrong. And somehow that got swept under the rug after 2-3 days. I still can’t believe that story and then the officers who mocked it days later. 

i agree the background is glossed over. The guy in Atlanta who was drunk and getting a DUI from the details of his background was released early from prison cause of covid meanwhile he was in prison for multiple duis and child neglect and Child endangerment but his family stated he was a family man. Like that’s ridiculous to me. He can deserve justice but don’t try to pull the wool over my eyes and make him a family man with charges like that

He apologized and said he used the wrong words and didn't want to offend anyone.  I don't agree with his view point but, I think he is trying to move on from it so we should too. Let's not keep attacking the guy. 

I'm kind of scared of myself right now playing peace maker lol. 

Why i try my best to stay out of it lol

Great. I'm done talking about it. I watched the video and am not lying about anything. We see the events differently. I get your side. You don't get mine and that's fine. I don't see him as a hero. I am impressed and happy that he defended himself and he is the one to make it out of that alive based on what I watched. We will see and can talk when the jury decides. Feel free to @ me. The difference between us is I'm able to separate feelings on this from who they are as people. You can't and wish you the best.  

Back to football now?

It’s not about feelings and that’s just the bs of the right. I’m not "triggered” I’m not hysterical or shedding tears on this. True, we all have a perspective and we are entitled to it. Agreed completely. We are NOT entitled to our own facts. The facts here absolutely do not support self defense. 
 

he shot an unarmed person and ran away saying I just shot someone 

he fell down by himself 

others tried to tackle him to keep him there until police could effect the arrest 

he started firing, came up firing, and ripped off three volleys. 
 

this is not self defense- "I shot a guy and ran and when someone tried to prevent my escape I had to shoot them too, so I shot another unarmed person in the head.”  
 

facts are still facts.

Just curious. do you also think anyone  should need a permit to exercise their 1st ammendment rights?

Just curious. Do you think it’s okay to kill someone for committing arson without trial?

you think eagles will keep 5 DT or 6 DE???

I like Rush i like Ostman and think hes ahead of miller. Do they give up on miller or Ostman and keep Rush or even Raequon Willams as the 5th DT?

Personally id take the 5th DT i dont think miller offers anything.

Maybe toohill could sneak in but i dont know i imagine he could be a PS stash?

Irrelevant.  There is laws that state when you can own a gun and he broke them.

I read an article that maybe one day will be true. Hot takey right now. But really might turn out right. LeBron as the face of the NBA has ruined the league. Michael Johnson, Hakeem, etc were building something. Jordan took it to a whole other level. LeBron came along, and all this political BS he is always involved in has people tuning out and the NBA is back on the downswing in popularity with him as its face. 

 

I wish I knew what he was actually feeling about all this.  We all know his brand and another championship are more important to him than anything in the world.  Now the season where he has a decent shot to get his 4th is in jeopardy.  He will say all the right things, and everyone will follow him, but I personally think he's a snake in the grass.

he was the first one I heard say " Im not even sure I feel like playing" the next game.

I cant say for sure but it seems like this whole boycot going to work was his idea. He seems to have said it first.

Because we haven't seen him under game conditions yet. We have no idea if he will be an asset or a liability.

Wisconsin does not have the death penalty.
Arson is not a capital crime.

No states that have the death penalty list citizens of another state in the commission of a felony as a way to carry out the death penalty.

Already been tested in the courts

yes arson is a legit reason to shoot someone so long as it is reasonable to assume people might be in the building

I’d probably go 4 DT’s and 6 DE’s. Risky but you probably can get Rush or Williams on the PS. Keep Graham, Barnett, Curry, Sweat, Ostman, Toohill. If you get in game injuries to DT you still have Graham, Curry and possibly Ostman who can occasionally slide into DT.

So since Wisconsin does not have the death penalty NO crime is a capital crime. Makes it a moot point doesn't it.

We have an ample data set on him at corner in many games

So that means the state, the police, and citizens of Illinois have any right to carry out the death penalty for any crime.
