    You're not getting it. At this point I don't think you ever will.

    Humor me... what are you basing your opinion off Leo's poor work ethic off of? His reporting weight?

    Historically, there have been times when your shitposting is/was entertaining. This is not one of those times.

    I don't even need to wait for the answer. I know it won't involve any quotes, and stats (other than weight) and certainly no tangible evidence. Meanwhile:

    So there you have two writers' opinions, two scouts' opinions and his former head coach's opinion. It's crazy because you're telling me he has a poor work ethic but all of these people are quoted as saying he has a great work ethic, in fact it's one of his strengths! Now maybe you understand that I have no issue with differing opinions... I have a problem with opinions based off pure horse shit.

    The amazing things is, there are so many legitimate gripes to be made about so many other things., to stand and die on this hill is just ludicrous. I can’t wrap my head around any of this argument.

    Do you have any metrics on work ethic? Maybe he sucks because he's working too hard?

    Before we out right panic about the kicking situation, some context.

    I don’t think darr was a serious candidate anyway, just a camp leg to work out the punt returner position as there are too many candidates there for Edwards to punt to all of them in a session.

    You haven't heard? Lach Edwards in an All-Pro, Hall of Fame level holder. Our kickers aren't good because they're good, our kickers are good because of Lach Edwards.

    Kurt's gone? Too bad, I liked reading his posts and learning from them.

    Yup. Even when I disagreed he always had an interesting argument and I usually learned something. Certainly wasn't "Leo has a poor ethic based on nothing but my opinion".

    Jachai Polite got a handful of second-team reps today, the most he’s had so far, and looked good out there. Polite showed off his speed and burst off the line, caused some disruption and forced the quarterback out of the pocket early. As with Williams, it seems Polite is getting more and more on his plate each day and while he isn’t dominating you can see little things starting to click for him.
