Volson was very good when they changed the system for Browning......but the system was changed. So.....who knows
At no point was Volson very good, maybe less bad but he was not very good. He gets overpowered frequently and is a liability in pass pro, the Bengals could upgrade at LG easily.
If Volson was released today, do you think there would be a bidding war for his services or would he be a backup on most teams...he's a backup that is starting because Pollack likes his grit or some intangible BS that deflects from his obvious lack of ability to play at the NFL level.

Listening to the new PDJ pod - the bengals appear to be rolling with Volson next year. Liked the way he played down the stretch.
Volson gets all the chances to get Burrow hurt, Frank Pollack is looking bad continuing to back this guy who obviously needs to be replaced.

More than 100 killed while seeking aid in Gaza, overall death toll passes 30,000
QuoteGaza health authorities said Israeli forces on Thursday shot dead more than 100 Palestinians as they waited for an aid delivery, but Israel blamed the deaths on crowds that surrounded aid trucks, saying victims had been trampled or run over.At least 112 people were killed and more than 280 wounded in the incident near Gaza City, Palestinian health officials said.Hamas issued a statement rejecting the Israeli account.It said the Health Ministry had presented "undeniable" evidence of "direct firing at citizens, including headshots aimed at immediate killing, in addition to the testimonies of all witnesses who confirmed being targeted with direct fire without posing any threat to the occupying army".-

The Palestinian Authority’s prime minister announced his government’s resignation on Monday, seen as the first step in a reform process urged by the United States as part of its latest ambitious plans to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
But it will do little to address the authority’s longstanding lack of legitimacy among its own people or its strained relations with Israel. Both pose major obstacles to U.S. plans calling for the PA, which administers parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, to govern postwar Gaza ahead of eventual statehood.
That’s assuming that the war in Gaza ends with the defeat of the Hamas militant group — an Israeli and U.S. goal that seems elusive nearly five months into the grueling war that has killed almost 30,000 Palestinians and pushed the territory to the brink of famine.

So you and Jamie skirt the reason for no wall..no border control.
Just let whoever in.
Your both are unreasonably able to a answer why this dunce wants open borders...
Wanna go into the crime rate next?
Fools led by grndiose ideas that
aren't sensible and very dangerous to the country
So in your mind, a wall equals border control...that is a very simplistic view and not based in reality.
No evidence says that building a wall will make us safer as a country or decrease illegal immigration. It's just a ridiculous idea from a treasonous lunatic named Donald Trump that some of his sycophants have latched on to as the magical solution for illegal immigration
QuoteSo is to be the wall that President Donald Trump promises to build along the border. But no matter how tall and thick a wall will be, illicit flows will cross.
Undocumented workers and drugs will still find their way across any barrier the administration ends up building. And such a wall will be irrelevant to those people who become undocumented immigrants by overstaying their visas—who for many years have outnumbered those who become undocumented immigrants by crossing the U.S.–Mexico border.
Nor will the physical wall enhance U.S. security.
The border, and more broadly how the United States defines its relations with Mexico, directly affects the 12 million people who live within 100 miles of the border. In multiple and very significant ways that have not been acknowledged or understood it will also affect communities all across the United States as well as Mexico.

Why doesn't Biden want a wall
to keep our border secure??
Thoughts??
lol...a wall...this isn't a Game of Thrones were you can protect your fort with a wall and moat...they have walls now that people go over, around, under...you sound like you've been chanting at a Trump rally...do you really think it's that simple to build a wall and all illegal immigration stops, it's a bit more nuanced than that.

Bibi has never wanted a 2 state solution.
But should it be up to a right-wing zealot to decide the fate of Palestinians... that's not logical, that would have been like asking a slave owner if the US should have abolished slavery...he was probably going to say no to that idea.
It's time for the US to stand up for Palestine and put boundaries on our relationship with Israel if we are the nation we claim to be. How can we be for freedom, justice, liberty, etc..and support a country that denies it's neighbors those things?

Doesn't seem like Israel wants to be reasonable or have peace talks...
QuoteIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Wednesday rejected a hostage-release proposal as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken suggested a "clear and credible pathway to a Palestinian state" would be best solution to ending Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza.
Netanyahu called the proposal "delusional," describing it as an Israeli surrender, while still seeking to assure hostage families he cared. "Your loved ones are always standing before my eyes. ... We do not stop working for the release of our abductees -- even now," Netanyahu told them.

State Department reviewing options for possible recognition of Palestinian state
https://www.axios.com/2024/01/31/palestine-statehood-biden-israel-gaza-war?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&utm_placement=newsletter
Quote- The Biden administration is linking possible normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia to the creation of a pathway for the establishment of a Palestinian state as part of its post-war strategy. This initiative is based on the administration's efforts prior to Oct. 7 to negotiate a mega-deal with Saudi Arabia that included a peace agreement between the kingdom and Israel.
- Saudi officials have publicly and privately made clear since Oct. 7 that any potential normalization agreement with Israel would be conditioned on the creation of an "irrevocable" pathway toward a Palestinian state.
- Some inside the Biden administration are now thinking recognition of a Palestinian state should possibly be the first step in negotiations to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict instead of the last, the senior U.S. official said.
There are several options for U.S. action on this issue, including:
- Bilaterally recognizing the state of Palestine.
- Not using its veto to block the UN Security Council from admitting Palestine as a full UN member state.
- Encouraging other countries to recognize Palestine.

Vince McMahon has been exposed in a lawsuit that leaked text messages between him and his former "employee"...not looking good for Vince or the WWE.
https://deadspin.com/vince-mcmahon-sex-traffic-lawsuit-wwe-janel-grant-1851197938
QuoteA former WWE employee claimed Vince McMahon sexually abused her — including with sex toys that he named after wrestling stars — in a shocking new lawsuit.
Janel Grant broke her silence about their relationship with disturbing allegations including charges that the wrestling magnate defecated on her head during a threesome in May 2020 and sex trafficked her to other WWE executives, according to the complaint filed in Connecticut federal court on Thursday.
Grant alleged in the complaint that McMahon sent her a text message in May 2020 which read: “I’m the only one who owns U and controls who I want to f— U.”
Her lawsuit comes after the Wall Street Journal reported last year that the WWE was investigating an alleged $3 million payment from McMahon to a departing female employee following a consensual affair.
“No means yes” and “Take it, b—h” were among the things McMahon and Laurinaitis said to Grant during the alleged assault, according to the lawsuit.
In July 2021, McMahon told Grant to create sexualized content on her phone and send it to Brock Lesnar, a former UFC star whom the WWE was trying to sign at the time.
Last July, federal law enforcement agents executed a search warrant and served a federal grand jury subpoena to McMahon, according to a regulatory filing.
OL Offseason 2024

So you are saying that if the Bengals released Volson today he would be a starting LG for another NFL team, I wholly disagree, but to each their own. BTW, Volson had a 58.3 PFF grade for the 2023 season, which would be below average.
He's the only player on the o line that is considered to be a weak link that needs to be replaced as well
https://gridironheroics.com/bengals-options-at-left-guard-2024/
Taylor is a pass-oriented HC/play caller that loves to dial up the throws, even to the detriment of the offense and his players...see Burrow's torn ACL in his rookie year. You can't have an awful LG that allows your QB to be pressured up the middle like Volson does on a consistent basis, he can't pass protect at a high enough level to be a starter in the NFL on a team that will win the SuperBowl.
