You're telling me that this "That's the coaches job" comment would mean the same from Bodine/Fisher/Ogb as it would from Green/Dalton/Atkins??
If Bodine said it, we would all be yucking it up. If AJ said it, we would be crying about him potentially demanding a trade (jumping to conclusions of course as we always do)
Yes.
It means the same.
It means players know.
Players are just the players and it's up to the coaches to put them in positions to succeed. The Bengals coaches have done a TERRIBLE job of doing that this year.
It makes no reference to his level of play. It speaks more to your being hung up on HIS status than the truth of his statement.
He isn't passing blame, in which case you would have ground to stand on
