re: A Memo to Coach Les Miles - an appeal to show CHARACTER

quote:

---

the same coaching staff that has seen him the past 3 years didnt believe he was the best choice. If not for the suspension, he doesn't see the field for a meaningful snap this season. The coaches did not believe he could help them win the past 2 games. Could they have been wrong? Sure.

Not quite sure why this is hard to grasp. I mean, I realize for some why it's hard to understand...that is, why Miles and staff would consider JJ to be the better option...but why can't people grasp that they actually did?

They have thought JJ was the best option since late 2008. Everything they've done since that times points to that conclusion. And as you suggested, Jefferson was the clear starter going into 2011.

Disagree with his decision to play him all you want...but why the need to suggest that not playing one of his players who he clearly feels gives the team a slightly smaller chance of success is some nefarious personal issue? Is that the only way some of these guys can wrap their heads around the possibility of Miles not seeing in Lee what they all do?
