Benching Players

[MapleLeaf]

but 59 is standing out pretty glaringly in a pretty bad defense especially in the Lions game and that's bad when you're standing out in a bad way amongst all the other bad plays that happened..

You are wasting words here. Bench him, and give another younger player a chance now.

 

[Coogiguy03]

He isn't going to play.

You don't know that

 

[rambo2]

You don't know that

I don't? Blue and Mafah play before he does and he isn't on the roster.

The same way Mafah has been here all this time and they called up Malik Davis? Anything can happen

 

[big dog cowboy]

Lol lol lol no he pooped on your pop tart!!! All these people except you see that he's not doing well, get out of last year and focus on the present

There is a reason he isn't doing as well this year.

Learn football.

Only if you do the same

I have forgotten more about football than you will ever know.

yeah you were the forgotten one on the bench!!! It's showing that you still suffer from the splinters!!!

I'm not sure what you think you read that was my point That when they're all bad and his level of bad stands out This should be quite obvious to take snaps away from him.. So we're in agreement and yet sometimes people come in and misunderstand and act like I didn't say the same thing..

Mean the younger players like Shamar James who looked just as bad in his short stint sure give him experience i'm with you But apparently while they're still mathematically in it most teams will stick with their veterans but this guy I agree I don't get what he's in there for..

Hopefully this is the last straw I don't care what they said at the post game press conference when they watched a film maybe this is it for him..

I think you have to discipline players when they break the rules, no matter who they are. I just don't think benching them is the way to do it. All you want to do is send a message to the team that you will not tolerate players breaking the rules and that it applies to every player no matter how big of a star he might be. Benching them hurts the whole team, not just the player breaking the rules. I suppose that's a way to generate peer pressure for the team to police themselves. But I think a fine is enough for a first time offense. I know these guys have lots of money but it is the message not the fine that matters.

 

[Rayman70]

Nah. If the team stinks next year you have to fire him. He should get one more year, and it needs to be a playoff year.

It all depends on context of why we would fire him. It would have to be pretty bad for us to cut bait after 2 years. Nobody should want that. It sets us back further.

in this situation benching Murray would Help the team. I mean we benched Lamb and Pickens for the first drive, did that REALLY hurt the team?

 

[Whirlwin]

I'd drop off Murray at a Home Depot and let him try to get work elsewhere. Only one dumb enough to give him a job is Eberturd.

Lol

If Eberfalse gets another year, Brian Garrett is here for 4 more, at least.

Our GM made the decision to trade for Murray back in March and decided to make him the 7th highest paid player on the team.

Yeah Eberfail has been bad. But he didn’t trade for Murray and make the decision to pay him so handsomely.

BTW….I believe the only reason Murray is still playing is because Jerry always insists the guys who are being paid the most always play whether they deserve to or not. Eberflus is bad but he didn’t trade for Murray.

Benching a player for poor play is not discipline to me. Football should be a meritocracy. The best guys play. But every player has an opportunity to play better and earn a spot on the field. I was referring to when players break the rules, like missing curfew.

Benching Lamb and Pickens for 1 series did not hurt the team that time, but who knows? It could have in another situation.

it's all good, I always thought in recent years how do you actually discipline a player making all this kind of crazy money, so you mean to tell me a coach would really bench a (Terrell Owens) knowing he would help them win the game? THere's nothing you can really do, fines, what does a fine do to these players?? Fines only bother the players who aren't making big money

At some point, depending on how egregious the offense was, you have to take drastic action, like suspending a play without pay. Didn't Jimmy Johnson give his better players more slack than the JAGs?

sure did, you actually need those guys to win

 

[DStar22]

Eberflus and Murray are our biggest problems currently. then figuring out why our special teams is allowing detroit to get such good field position consistently.

I don't see the need to bench anyone else.
