I was not talking about Westerman and Marv specifically. I’m talking in general terms about a hypothetical coach that knowingly plays players that are worse in games just because he likes how they practice. That’s the terrible philosophy I was referring to, not what is actually going on in Cincy, because we just don’t know.
Could that be the situation here? Sure, but who knows since we can’t read Marv’s Mind and he hasn’t straight up said the reason why Westerman isn’t playing over Redmond. Hobson’s article on Westerman’s run blocking suggested Marv wanted to continue rotating Hopkins in at LG, but Polllack has to step in and “recommend” that Westerman has earned the playing time.
