Quote:It's the false narrative that bothers me. The fact that house got benched while he was playing at the highest level of any cb the entire season, and then when Gus, who clearly had no idea what he was doing but was trying to get some spark out of his lack luster defense threw a dart at the wall and then randomly selects his best cb to be benched is not something that is praise worthy of the coach.

And on top of that, the benching was stupid in terms of sitting your best corner based on a game that he actually played pretty well in. Even the announcers in that game were giving house credit for almost the entire game. There were three catches Hopkins made that really solidified that game for the tin horns.

Only one of those three catches could be blamed on house.

And you're right as well, only a manager that is in over his head would reprimand his best employee while allowing low performers to stay off the hook.

It's mind boggling to consider that some folks are not seeing this incompetence.

It's about accountability. It doesn't matter who it is. Look at Manziel in CLE, plenty of folks including the head coach would have liked to play him in good conscience. But they couldn't. Because his actions didn't warrant it. He was held accountable.


You don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. That was between the player and coach. House was punished and he rebounded nicely. The numbers don't lie about that. It could have been a simple a message as "you are better than that." The anti-Gus brigade idiotically assumed Gus benched his best corner cause #dumbness. And the fact that Gratz saw so much playing time is more an indictment of the roster.
