that's just it., ... he doesn't want to play football for the love of football... he's playing it for that patented Tuesday checks only, and he'll play in cruise control and only according to
however he feels like it. the practice absences, if he'll play hurt, if he will play hard, if he will come in shape, the up and down disappearing acts on the playing field.
the coaches know,. .trainers know.. players and teammates know,,
Sure Irving is rangy, lengthy, agile, quick off the ball and when he's motivated enough, can create some interior pressure.you don't want to have to baby sit a guy that doesn't love football.
a guy whose been a career questionable effort and drive, that doesn't have the dog in him to be best at his position, he'll cruise and flash just enuff' ..do just barely to just enuff' to get by.
I'd much rather trust in McClay's search around again for another with Irving's kind of tools and talent, and very hopefully without his kind of questionable drive, passion for football.
