I made. crazy admission to my gaming students today: I’m about Shedur Sanders because he’s Deion’s kid. I’m going to defend him until he shows me, given a fair enough chance to start (equal to the other mopes out there) that he can’t actually play. It’s been in my mind and actions but I’ve never fully stated this as fact. Since it is out there now, I’m digging in. Let’s give the kid some rope and see what happens. Unfortunately, what happened was he was benched for Watson. The facts surrounding the choice are leaking out and have to do with a number of factors… allegedly. Pre-snap penalties were a thing, which translates to me as not having enough of a grasp of the playbook to execute the calls effectively. That’s a big deal. That is also something coaching should be able to fix. His physical skills are there. His mental skills need some help in terms of running the plays. So, fix him, right?
Not right. Not for Monken. Instead he’s leaning in hard on a QB they must cut by March or lock in another 200 million guaranteed. All that leads to me believing that he’s out. They’re tanking for Manning. Of course, Manning might not even be the best available, but that is a blog for another day.
