OK. Now I'm really confused.
Based on his short answer, Kupped agrees with your assertion that our ILB position is weaker without EJ.
So in that respect, his yes is a no and being that your no is a no, and two wrongs don't make a right, then his yes is a no in sheep's clothing and being that a sheep is closely related to a Ram, we are really just picking nits. And being that nits are associated with nit wits - which neither of you are - I declare this argument superfluous and eye glazingly silly. Therefore, the gun has sounded and the game ends in a tie.
