Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 5352443, member: 722"] I remember thinking that part of the reason Copeland and Mintz made the decisions they did was that Westry was looking so good in practice. There was an element of wishful thinking, absolutely, but we also were getting very positive practice reports at the end of the season. It wasn't until the roster was virtually set, later in the summer, that we started getting video that showed Westry was nowhere near ready to play. And that is completely separate from whatever Westry's illness is that is taking him out for the whole season. I've been absolutely scathing in some of my comments about Red this season. I'm not an apologist, per se... I'm just trying not to pile on every single decision that hasn't gone well. Some of what Red has done is really reasonably considered. Results haven't worked out, but the decision, at the time, often has been perfectly valid. [/QUOTE]
