Quote:I agree.   I was a little baffled by the benching, because it seemed pretty obvious to me that his difficulties stemmed from a lack of pressure on the QB.  When they put him back out there, he was the same guy, a pretty decent CB.   I was surprised that he took the benching so well.   A lot of guys would have complained about it but he stayed positive throughout the whole thing. 

 

That's cuz Davon is a pro.  I really like him, he was a very good FA pickup.

 

That benching was Bush.  

 

Getting back to the point why I even brought up the benching was that it was a bad coaching move--BUT--it's one that I would hope Gus learns from.  That's the key to the whole dog gone thing!

 

I give Gus a pass on his first 2 years as HC.  As everyone acknowledges, the roster was gutted 4 years ago.  Last year was his year to beginning to build his resume.  He continued to make head scratching decisions---BUT--- there were fewer head scratches in 2015 than there were in 2014 and 2013...  So that's progress.

 

Also, the clot home game was best coaching game.  And his positivity kept the train on the rails in London when we fell behind in the 4th Quarter.  So there's some hope here for Gus.  If he's smart, and can learn from his mistakes there's a chance the team and the Head Coach can turn the corner this year.  

 

If he's learned from all his mistakes then it's worth it.  I hope he has.
