where did you hear he was weak at practice? the reports were full participation
and a “focused” week of practice.
if my hunch is correct, and the flu story was a cover for his antics in foxborough over the weekend, then it would explain the separate flight and missed additional flight.
we learned of a
“separate” flight on wed, the first day of practice...what if he arrived too late for even the start of practice?
i kept asking, was butler
on the flight or quarantined and we never got an answer on that monday when the flight landed; we only got that info on wed, almost like it was a surprise to the team. and, then a fully healthy butler is sitting there answering media questions on thursday.
if really any of these stories are true, it is a horrible look for butler who is now a free agent. and, when bb gives up on you, especially if you’re good, that player ends up
simply fading away.
no way bb would dress
and bench butler if he just had the flu.
i do think bb was not wanting to reward butler by playing him, but also he felt smallish, more zone style cb, wouldn’t work with with what the gameplan was vs larger wrs.
nothing more, nothing less and the guy butler
would have best matched up with as a way to take out smith, would have beem butler, but smith was taken out already likely by maybe mccourty off
camera. bademosi only played 11
snaps so there is no way he can be blamed here
