CASE-BY-CASE . . .
One more Sanders-related note.
While some in the NFL believe in the adage that a player “can’t lose his job due to injury,” Colts Head Coach Jim Caldwell said he doesn’t have a hard, fast rule on the issue.
“I think every case is different,” Caldwell said. “I don’t think you just make a blanket statement in that regard, but for the most part, we look at that as a factor.”
The BBS thing is nonsense. If Bob’s the best player, he’ll play. If he’s not, he won’t. How much he’s played or practiced doesn’t matter. Creating rules like, “Well, you’ve been hurt so you can’t start” makes no sense at all. When Bob Sanders is right, he’s one of the three best safeties in the league. It’s a good thing the Colts didn’t listen to that kind of thinking in 2006.
