You may have some insight due to your background but no one will give a shit if you continue to act like a Grade A ****sack.

What background?

Apparently, he played at least JuCo football.

The guys I know that played at Coffeyville & Butler in the 80's did pretty well after moving up to Division I and in some cases, the NFL. I don't know how well he did on the field but all of my friends are pretty sharp when it comes to the NFL.

But regardless, the guy acts like a jackass, 24-7.

It's too bad. We could certainly use more knowledgeable members around here.

I played beyond JUCO. Just an FYI. I'll leave it at that.

Yeah I can be a jackass at times. And guys like Mecca and Hamas aren't? Yet the majority of the crap they post is baseless and uneducated. At least my insight has merit.

And no it's not out of the question for Hali to have 10 sacks. I mean for the love of God the guy had 8 as a rookie with his hand in the dirt.

Good for you. And BTW, I've just been teasing you. My initial impression was that you had a sense of humor and would play along. Why so serious?

That's not the issue. You really come across as angry and mean spirited. I mean really angry. We're all just here to have fun and sure, we bust each other's chops. But I'd have a beer with any of these guys (and have).

This is the problem with being new. Mecca isn't an asshole. He rarely, if ever, uses expletives to get his point across. He's a guy that spends most of his free watching college football, reading and scouting players and so on. He's opinionated but that's because he's studied. He's actually a really cool guy and very passionate about football.

Hamas is a genius. Literally. Genius. He's extremely funny and sarcastic and most of the time, new people don't "get" him (much like they don't get me at first, either). He's a totally cool dude and extremely sharp.

Well, this is where you'll have a difficult time in this forum unless you change your viewpoint. Everyone's insight has merit from time to time. You don't have a monopoly on "insight". People may have differing opinions based on their experience but that doesn't mean that their viewpoints are baseless.

You'll find that there are some pretty sharp minds around here.

It's possible, though unlikely, IMO. It's a different defense and he doesn't have a consistent, game-changing, sack machine on the opposite side.

I think the major difference with Pioli managing the franchise is that we'll do much better in free agency. One of his strengths that you heard about over and over again in NE was his ability to find players that fit well into Bill Belicheks system. I think that will serve the team well because then you're not as much under pressure to hit a home run in the draft when there isn't as much talent coming out of college.

He's off to a rousing start so far.

It's way too early to cast any judgement.

Cool. My bad then.

Some viewpoints certainly have more merit than others. Would you ask a guy who has never driven or even seen a car to diagnose why yours won't start or a certified mechanic?

We'll see. I don't think that 10 sacks, if he can stay healthy, is out of reach.
