It's all good Stewy.

Haven't ever used the ignore feature, but days like yesterday make me think about it.
Frank has made some good points before though, so I wouldn't call him a troll every day.

True that Sled. Gives me hope for the future with both those guys. At the very least we might have fantastic depth, something
we haven't had in forever on the OL. If Carman can successfully make the move to RT and play great we are sitting pretty with
Orlando Brown here, Volson growing, Karras at Center and Cappa at RG.

And the statement about Volson becoming a top 5 guard in the league came from Karras, and I will STILL take his word on it over yours any day of the week. I mean, you've been right about so much, right? Zac, Lou, etc etc.... Volson had a three game stretch where he faced Derrick Brown, Cam Heyward and Jeffery Simmons, and in that stretch gave up 1 sack and 1 QB hit. When they played the Chiefs in week 13, he faced Chris Jones and stoned him, giving up 0 pressures on 42 pass blocking snaps, while posting a 77.2 Run-blocking grade. People can look at his overall PFF grade and say "meh" if they want, I'm really excited to see what he can do in year two playing between Karras and Zeus.
And it is a good post, I just never said it. That was impressive from Volson in that stretch, anyone who says different just is
hating on the guy irrationally. What Volson did to Chris Jones, Heyward and Jeffrey Simmons was badazz for a rookie, let alone
a guy that came from a small school like North Dakota State.
Volson should really grow from his rookie year. That was a major leap going from college where he was a man amongst boys
to the pros and going against the best in the world.
