Personally, I'm surprised that they haven't benched Favre, for making "a" mistake... like they've been doing with just about everyone else. It would open up Sherman's chance to let Rodgers play...
I have to admit, that so far, not seeing any reports to the contrary - Leinert might be an intriguing pick - especially since he's had the benefit of a NFL caliber coaching process. In the years to come, Charlie Weis will have accomplished the same. Will the Mighty Quinn enjoy the same successes in the NFL, or keep growing under similar tutelage? One wonders....
I would offer that with our current core roster - all that's needed is some balance in other positions. The O-Line could use two more backups (depth), but by next year, Whitticker will have solidified his status as a Starter. Adrian Klemm? About the same. Flanny? Jury's still out.... Scott Wells? Some here would have his head - I say he stays...
It could be that Sherman's tactic on benching players for incredibly minor situations is having its toll on their mental outlook to the game, ...period :!:
Can anyone imagine what it would be like, in the last couple of years, having to see Ahman Green being benched, like in the rainy Eagles game where he came out wearing inner-tube rubber on his elbows, and fumbled the ball an amazing three times alone until the half, where he finally changed over to cloth.... You guys remember that...
Sherman's simply trying to cover his ***, it's very easy to see..
Walt Williams fumble early on - should not have meant his removal from play. His replacement reminded me and a few friends of Edgar Bennett.. 'course, back in the day - Bennett wasn't exactly a Terrell Davis during his time with the Packers - but he had the benefit of a SuperBowl caliber team around him to compliment his steady ability to gain constant yardage. Even Bennett had a few dropsies... There's not one RB, out there, that has made it through his career with out a fumble.
I know one thing - we're left with watching this all unfold into whatever...
Will we win two games with this new approach from the Coaching Staff?
You tell me - all we can do is watch....
