AJ Green

If I'm being "holier than thou", I would submit that AJ Green should make better decisions, not let down the team and be accepting of his punishment. If I'm being cynical I say, "here we go again". I have chosen, rather, to be what I feel is realistic.

We've got a game to play...once again we're missing key personnel. It's frustrating as a fan. I can think of no other sports organization in recent history that has suffered more setbacks for crazy reasons involving critical players. Whatever.

If we believe what we preach, then this is the time for CMR to talk to his team about adversity. How do we respond? I don't care that it's self-inflicted...the rest of the team has to go out there and make up the slack. It's not moments spent sailing in calm waters that define a team. It's what you do after you get slapped in the face or kicked in the dirt that reveals team character.

We're in a tough stretch of early make-or-break conference games. We're allowed to put 11 guys on the field at a time. Let's do that and make sure that each knows the other 10 are counting on them.

AJ will be back soon enough. He did something silly and got an excessively punitive punishment considering the "crime". No time for that. Let's play ball.

Go Dogs.
