Javvy, I completely understand EVERYTHING you wrote. But the fact is it's a kid's game and the kids want to play. The 2nd stringers were going to get into the game shortly, but you know as well as I Croyle's offense was not clicking last night and he needed a few more series to see if he could get it right. It was a freak injury, not anyone's fault. The coaches were simply trying to make the TEAM (including Croyle) better. You can't tell me Shula was wrong for doing that.
I still luv'va man! Peace, Love, and Harmony and all that jazz, brother.
It's a beautiful day outside in Dixie. Lets get out and enjoy it!!
Roll Tide! Rick
