Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 4527993, member: 837"] Not sure why people are so caught up on JB saying Benny was better in practice. You see this in sports all the time — the vet gets the first shot because you want him motivated and playing hard, knowing you can always go to the newbie. I’d argue it would be irresponsible to do otherwise. You have to see what you can get from a really athletic, long, big forward. At this point it’s clear Brown needs to play a bunch, but the best scenario was always both Brown and Benny playing well … and the only way you get that is to give Benny opportunities. Going forward — I’m not sure you have to start Brown but he has to play a lot. But JB absolutely played it the right way regardless of who was better in practice. [/QUOTE]
