I don’t claim to know a lot of things but I believe I understand offensive line play. I post on it. Played it. Coached it. Studied if for more years than you’ve been alive. Posted about it here for two decades. If you don’t like it pass over. If you read it, you might learn something or if you disagree you might contribute something worth reading. I claim nothing but my enthusiasm and what I see. I am not the last word.

All you contribute on this subject is being aggressively stupid. And insulting. 

You are part of what someone else refers to as a gang. To which I concur.

You offer nothing of substance.
 

We have gangs in here?

Would be refreshing to see a pillar admit they are wrong once in a while.

So you see yourself as some outsider...why do you care what others think..actually post something thoughtful and not disparaging

What's the name of it?  That was the weirdest sports story.

57 years. Don’t know about you but I’m in my eightieth decade.

Actually longer than that but I was in pee wee and I wouldn’t call that studying.

I have to confess, this made me laugh literally out loud.

Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist. 

I don't suggest it unless you want to get pissed on the angle they take.

We have a group of a-holes, most definitely. Insult always, contribute never.

If jr is in his eightieth decade, downundermike, I'ma say he definitely takes this point.

Awesome.  I am almost 50.  No one is saying you don’t know what you are talking about, but the little click we call the pillars come across like you are better than thr  rest of us.  Your ringleader afan is the worst.

why do you always defend yourself behind we and us as if majority rules...it is mostly you and 4X4 who are constantly attacking people who have been posting their opinions for close to twenty years here...you don't like their opinions, ignore them

If you have brought factual things to the table regarding OL play, I have missed them. If so, I apologize. If you have not, perhaps you should. I am not a pillar, just another poster.

Pillar seems to have become code for actually having something to say without insult. I have been told I’m not a pillar but I happily embrace it. Being a student of the game is reward enough for me.

I have also posted on the EMB for 20 years, what’s your point ?

Can you guys all quiet down? I can't hear my show with all this queefing. 

And go make me a sandwich.

Afan is not our ringleader. We do not have one. He’s just an old fart like me. I can agree or disagree with him as I see fit, as I can with any other poster. In fact, there is no "we.”

I freely admit that about certain specifics I do believe I know more than many, but not all. OL is my passion. You want to talk about coverages? I’m ignorant. @BigEFly is the go to guy there. Certainly no one in the gang. As I have said many times, the farther I get from the center, the greater my ignorance grows.

Bunch of old farts around here.  Did the aid help all of you link up the iPads your grandkids bought you to the wifi?

F off. In fact I bought the laptops and  iPads for them.

I kinda like it when the old dudes go into scheme specifics.  This "pillar" drama is dumb.  Let people enjoy things and don't take goofy message board banter so seriously.  

Go Birds.
