Anybody know the real story here? The guy has been such an integral part of the team for 3 years and one of my favorite players. CLM is not the type to exile someone for a single fumble (though it was quite a memorable one). Is his absence related to his previous concussion?

Lost starting job. I have been wondering the same thing. Played sparingly against A&M.

He doesn't deserve to start over Neighbors who doesn't make mistakes that Copeland continually has made throughout his career - false starts, key fumbles, personal fouls etc.

Besides the valid points made by other posters above, I suspect he might continue to exhibit some concussion symptoms, such as forgetting his assignments on certain plays.

He's the offensive Anthony Johnson (in terms of performance) - flashed dominance early in his career, is talented, but hasn't lived up to the hype and has been vastly mediocre.

Factor in his continual mistakes, and Neighbors is your starter.
