Quote: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.

While I appreciate your position, I think you are giving to much credit to "what happened in the locker room".


For all you may say regarding the fact that we don't know exactly what happened, which I concede to you, the reason for the benching was based on performance.


That reason rings hollow based on the performance house had up to and including the tin horn game--especially when compared to the rest of the secondary, in my opinion.
