Lol so my opinion on giving away medals based on snap count is only valid if I played D 1 football at a position you approve of?
Or can we both agree that’s dumb and not relevant to the topic?
It is relevant, though. I played through HS, both lines. It was a different time, the pace was slower, but when you're out there giving your all on every snap, game after game, for a whole season, wears you out mentally and physically... I have a lot of respect for Banks and Beasley answering the bell every week. It wasn't always stellar, and I agree with your general sentiment, for us to progress as a defense we need better LB/middle of field play... but to stand up and fight has my respect.
Your not playing (if you didn't) does not invalidate your opinion, but having played might change your point of view.
