DC.COM/DMN/ESPN/FWST: Jones: Williams Will Keep Starting Job; Phillips misinterpreted

[sonnyboy]

Not to mention the fact that Jerry said the players should not get comfortable, yet turns around and all but guarantees that a high-profile underachiever will keep his job--production notwithstanding. Impossible to reconcile the two.

You can't reconcile the two because your interpretation of what Jerry said/meant is way off base.

Here's how I read it...........Jerry believes Roy is a talented player who should start. It's just how he sees it unfolding.
He wasn't guaranteeing a starting spot for Williams. Of curse he won't start if he doesn't earn it.

For a second there, there was a glimmer of hope and sanity. Then Jerry had to puff out his chest and be Jerry, castrating his coach along the way. Advantage: Bach.

The only ones who provided "hope" were writers who decided to add their interpretation to what Phillips said. Jerry did not castrate Phillips since Phillips never said Williams wouldn't be the starter.

My ***.

Based on performance, both he and Barber were given far too many starts last season.

Why do you think that is? I'd really like to hear your conspiracy theory.


I distinctly remember Jones playing a larger part for us as the season wore on. He saw the majority of work in our play-off games.

Williams saw little action in the play-offs.
