And I guess your message about practice holds true for the offensive line, right? Westerman and Redmond looked worse in practice than Bodine or Hopkins? Bullshit. You obviously don't realize the time constraints of an NFL practice and the starters get the vast majority of the reps. Marv never gave Core or Malone the chance in practice to prove themselves to the extend that Lafell would be out there. It is who was being paid.....their big FA acquisition, Captain Average (Lafell).
Since Marv's strategy worked so well as to motivate Ross to post a video of what really happens in practice, maybe Westerman, Redmond, Core, and Malone should do the same. It was immature, and the wrong thing to do, but it got a lot of people on here off Ross's back and on to Marvins. You should like that idea, because it is based on what they do in "practice"

Yeah, none of us are there at practice but i think your argument just rings true to me out of watching these coaches namely Marv for
so long. In the end they start the higher paid player regardless of play on the field, atleast lots of times this is the case, more-so than
nought.
Westerman was very solid in college and has been solid everytime i have seen him. To not play him when we desperately needed help
on the interior RG position all year in inexcusable. He was also spoken of playing Center tons coming out all the while we field probably
the worst Center in the NFL time after time.
I think this will change under Pollack thank God.

I still remember in Training Camp how everyone was raving about Ross in practice and how only Will Jax was able to keep up with him.
This is in practice before the season. All of a sudden he gets hurt and later on is a healthy scratch and everyone is dogging about Ross
like he cannot practice. He evidently was not healthy and it was fake news. As he said himself he was not in football shape.
I don't think it was just Ross doing the wrong things, there was something else going on as he looked better than Lafell from what i saw.

They just need to admit it then and move on or at least motivate him.
But calling BS and think he will suddenly be a contributor this year.
If coaches believe he will not be ? Trade him now while he still has value.
Some team surely was high on him and will take a chance.
Or is the plan to just sit him until he walks for free ?
This team needed speed desperately when we drafted him and Ross is much more than just that. As the article speaks, Ross is a football
player who just got fast. He is just what we need, once he gets his feet under him i expect more than just a contributor on Offense.
I expect a gamechanger.

Barely wins more than he loses in the regular season, with very talented teams to work with.
Never wins in the postseason, the worst ever of any coach of all time.
