[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 167462, member: 195"] I think you're reading way too much into this. It is quite a stretch to assume that Jennings was publicly challenging the coaching staff by saying he could've played. It is commonplace for a coach to hold a player out of a game to be on the safe side, and then the player says he could've played. What you're accusing Jennings of here is very serious stuff--essentially faking an injury (or at least exaggerating its effect) and then turning around and griping at the coaching staff for not letting him play. That would be the height of hyprocrisy (and an incredibly stupid career move, to boot), and I don't believe it one little bit. I will agree that Jennings' griping in training camp was disappointing, but to me, that seems like the one black spot on his reputation as a high-character guy, and it's not a very big one. I think he was getting a little paranoid because of how he was being overshadowed by the rookie James Jones, and he wanted people to know that it wasn't from any lack of effort or ability on his part. And he was probably right, although I wish he would've kept it to himself, or at least not sounded so *****y in his statements to the press. By the way, I don't understand waht you wrote about how coaches can't effectively gauge a hamstring injury. Presumably if he's got an injured hamstring he can't run or cut as well as usual. Do you really think he can run and cut just fine, but he's pretending to be injured? [/QUOTE]
