Good claimed by Raiders

[Chaka]

According to a story in The Athletic this morning, Denzelle Good asked to be released. He wasn't happy with how he was treated after returning to the team after his brother's murder.

I'm presuming this comes down to the fact that he lost his starting job during this time period.

Sounds like the line coach is an asshole

Sure does. I question the timing of this story, though. It seems Good isn’t without character flaws himself

Or misquoted. Considering he was one of the pre-McDaniels back out hires and a former Cheater, neither would surprise me.

The NFL is a zero sum business. There are acceptions made for players for maternity, family illness/ death.

The Smith kid got a shot at RT, and he hasnt giveb it up. Hauge came off the DL and other guys had stepped up. If Goode winds up a starter, Ill be surprised. He hasnt strung an entire season together for the Colts. Meanwhile the O line is playing its best ball since Howard Mudd.

Im sorry for Good,s loss, but if he couldnt find his way back to his given profession, he wasnt helping the team.

Good was bad Smith was good he got to be the starter. I have no clue what else happened, but that is what I saw. Good luck to him hope he has a great career and stops being a little bitch. Sucks to lose your starting job when you are going through shit, but the game keeps moving without you, the team did not cut him and he was keeping his check.

That’s an understatement if Good is accurately recounting what DeGuglielmo said. I’ll say it’s hard to understand on it’s face – why would the coach beat him down like that after his brother had just been killed? – but I’m not a football coach and admittedly sometimes those guys do some pretty damned stupid stuff in an effort to “motivate” the players, so I can’t rule it out as impossible.

Good was obviously in a tough spot and probably already feeling unfairly treated since he had just lost his brother and, in dealing with THAT situation which was completely out of his control, he ended up losing his job because Smith came in his absence and played so well.

Holder seems to suggest, based upon his prior dealings with the Colts coaching staff, that the Colts did everything they could for him and that Good might not be providing a completely fair description of the situation. The Colts probably won’t comment.

I could see it going like this:

Good: Man, I just don't have it today

Coach G: Suck it up, man.

Good: I'm still feeling the loss, coach.

Coach G: The team needs you. Suck it up.

Good (to himself) That was harsh. This guy is a jerk (aloud) I don't know, coach.

Coach G: (tohimself) How can I motivate him to get through this?) We need you, man.

Good. Not today, coach. Maybe tomorrow.

Coach G: If you are going to quit on this team, you will never play a snap again.

Good: I need to go see Ballard

Either that, or Coach G is an A-hole

what did the OL coach supposedly say? (I dont have access to the athletic)
