I would agree. Reckless or violent.. whichever word you like best as that is what I meant.

The end result is runs for positive yardage when there is no hole, and defensive players
getting punished.

Back to the AA thing... I just don't let that stuff bother me much. I agree that I think BJ should
maybe have gotten 2nd or 3rd team, but I still can't say I know enough about those that did to
call it a highway robbery job that Ben didn't get it over them. Can any of us say with absolute certainty he was more deserving than the guys who did get honored?

I know what he was for us, and I know he will get a chance at the next level. I'll just live
with that, and move on.



Sounds like a reasonable approach to me.;)

Pretty angry to not see Ben Jones on the AP list.
Cannot underestimate the importance of Ben Jones to this team.


Yes, I too was unhappy not to see BJ get the recognition he deserves. He is the strongest link in our O line. Would hate to see where we would be without Ben.

Even though he did not make that list and not to take anything away from those recognized as All Americans....I propose we recognize BJ as "All World" as voted by people who really watch and know what is going on during a football game.

I think BJ knows where he stands.


TN Dawg, from where I sit, Ben Jones was as important to the offense as Jarvis Jones was to the defense. Just my opinion.
