The Bodine Witch Hunt

If were afraid to damage his psyche and were treating him with kid gloves then hes not our guy. He showed zero improvement last year, and looked worse at times. You don't defend guys like that, you light fires under their asses.

That is my issue.   Any other position on the field they're going to look at raising the floor of the room.  It's not like TJ Johnson is knocking on the door at the center position and he is a dubious backup.

To me it's irresponsible not to foster better competition and improve your depth.  I know I'm reading into whether they didn't bring someone in because it might threaten Bodine, but I don't see any other logical reason why they did not apparently try.   If Westerman is that guy then great.   But if it's going to take him a year or more to get up to speed with the position I would say he is NOT that guy.

As far as Alexander's rant, I don't think it was just the Westerman question but the constant question by fans and the media as to whether Bodine is competent.   But he did not need to get snide about it and throw his best O Lineman under the bus.  It's not like Whit has been questioning Bodine publicly.
