What difference does it make AG? I'm pulling for Trill and hope he has an outstanding camp & makes this team just like my dark horse Callaway did last year. Scouts get it wrong on players all the time & hopefully Trill shows up and show out in a few months.

Not really sure why you have to be so critical of just about every post(s) someone here makes on players and/or coaches if it's not something you agree with.

You've got me completely wrong here, K. I'm pulling for him, too. I'm pulling for every player we drafted or signed. I hope he comes out of nowhere and becomes a stud. I simply mentioned that he possibly had some sort of red flag that caused all 32 teams to pass on him if you and others had him projected to go in the draft. I wasn't being critical. I was just sharing my thoughts on why he might have been passed over. It could have been something inconsequential overall, but just had teams not wanting to use a pick.

What round did you and/or the pundits have him pegged, out of curiosity?

79 players now on the active roster. Still 11 spots open. There's going to have to be a good number of UDFA's make the final 53 plus practice squad with our cap.

Oh, and K, can you point this fact out to JP? He seems to have an issue with this concept.

He can't help himself. He's a compulsive troller. The real mystery is how he manages to not get banned from the site.

Explain how I troll? I try my best to keep conversation going throughout the year. Is that trolling? I try to raise issues. How is that trolling? I screw with the many friends I have here on the site over the years by pushing their buttons. How is that trolling?

Maybe if you were more of a regular contributing member you'd understand, fry.

And you too, diz! I give you crap sometimes because I love you.

Don't forget to remind him to "KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE" AND HOW CASUAL FANS COME TO THIS SITE TO LEARN" IN PARTICULAR NEVER, NEVER, NEVER PLAY "DEVILS ADVOCATE"!!! AND REMAIN DEAD SERIOUS AT ALL TIMES!!! REMEMBER HE PREACHES THE N.F.L. AKA THE NO FUN LEAGUE

You have a good point there about casual fans reading the devils advocate remarks. Maybe we should follow that with a disclaimer stating that we really love each other and respect everything that posters say....or we could just not take it personally and answer with an intelligent rebuttal. Oh well, never mind. I'm just dreaming.

I beg to differ. Guido knows his stuff and enjoys a good debate bringing fresh thoughts in. He's never been argumentative and I respect and I like the research he does for the board that makes me think. He doesn't come across as mean to me. He may seem like a know it all but I agree with most of his assessments.. We all have opinions. We don't always agree but he brings a fresh perspective. It's a discussion board to learn new things with like minded fans.

I realize that discussion is different than lecturing but I can sit through both if I'm learning something.
