Nobody is being uncivil here, but my response was to your above post and I quote, “RG wasn’t mentioned either. I don’t know who MSG parents are but they must donate a helleve lot of money to Cal. This guy is only average and yet he’s played up to be so much more. Edwards is local (Pinole Valley) and was voted 1st team at the tackle position. All I can say is… politics, politics.”

Your insinuation that MSG’s parents paid Tedford to play their son was a bit out there.

Plus your “voted 1st team at the tackle position” didn’t make any since. Who “voted” him 1st team? Tedford and his staff, the players, fans, ESPN?

Next, local is very subjective. It could be argued how local somebody is. I live in Berkeley, so to me Pinole is not local, but it is in the Bay Area and is MORE local than say Los Angeles. But to get back to my point, just because you are “local” doesn’t entitle you to a starting job. BTW, it’s “hella” and not “Helleve” if YOU were local you would have known that.

Skill is what matters, not politics. Do you really thing Tedford is going to jeopardize his $1 million per year job to satisfy “politics” or some kid’s parents? Really?

As for the 2nd post of yours, nobody would argue with Edwards size and strength. I like the kid myself. Actually I was at the Emerald Bowl and what I saw was the TE Miller catch a TD to go ahead and Follett come up with a bunch of pressure on Miami’s Jacory Harris and cause a fumble to end the game. I wasn’t concentrating on who was playing tackle that game. You must be Edwards father, because only his father or a scout would be watching a tackle the whole game. Which one are you?
