They should have kept either Glo or Reed. Letting them both walk was ridiculous.

reed was the smart choice to keep.

and you can't tell me fries isn't better than pinter

Also, why announce this now? Why not just send him out there Sunday? This way, Washington has the whole week to prepare for him. There was no reason for saying it publicly.

They should have done what Belichick did with Jones and Zappe- just say Ryan is limited in practice all week and then start Ehlinger on Sunday.

There’s literally nothing to gain by announcing it on Monday.

Except maybe to instill confidence in Ehlinger and let the OL know that they may be the reason Ryan got benched. They've even announced he's the starter from here on out, thus negating the need for him to do or die in his first start. He's under enough pressure as it is.

I think that the shit play of our lineman has been since COVID. This disease, and its still not understood well LONG COVID, affects people differently. Even a small decrease in physical or mental ability, at this level, would be a disaster. I am not discounting the absolutely shit play we have had to endure at LT and RG, they make any putting of blame on anything but them difficult. It just seems that going into COVID we had a top 5 line, coming out a bottom 5. I just can’t believe it is total coincidence. And please if we cannot get into a vaccine argument I would appreciate it. I am just talking about this disease itself.

In case anyone doesn't know, people who live outside of the Indianapolis area can listen to JMV, Kevin and Quarry, Dakich etc via their podcasts or on the 1070 app. Google podcasts has the shows, I'm assuming Spotify and the others do as well. Entertaining stuff.

JMV has basically become openly hostile towards Frank. It had been Dakic way out front with the overt anger over Frank but JMV is just as open about how bad he thinks Frank is. Dude should just step down.

Odds are he’s not or he’d be playing, as desperate as they are.
