I always assume there is something the coaches see that we don’t to justify some of these odd decisions. These two moves seem pretty obvious given the early returns of the season.
All it would tell you is the coaches expected a better result and saw the same thing we did. Not sure it validates or invalidates anything. [Reply]

While I get your point and think it's the most bizarre thing in the world that Sorenson wasn't benched for Thornhill earlier, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that most times the coaches know a lot better than the fans. This situation is the exception, not the rule. [Reply]

I honestly expected us to be a little disappointed with the change. I figured there had to be SOMETHING significant the coaches were seeing that we weren’t.
If that move works out well, I’ll never quite understand why the staff seemed reluctant to make the move.
And yes, the coaches know better than us the majority of the time. This one is still a head scratcher though. [Reply]
BlackOp theory time: Spags played Jones at DT too much for his liking in the Philly game. Jones is saying fine, then I’m not playing until I’m 100% healthy.
Jones basically said he was making a business decision in a tweet. Andy said it was a distraction. We know how bad Jones wanted to play DE full time. [Reply]

Maybe they felt like Thornhill had motivation problems, or there was that weird comment from Reid about Sorenson not missing tackles because he’s soft. I’m almost sure that was some kind of message to Thornhill. Maybe they thought he was shying away from tackles. [Reply]

Andy said the Jones situation is a distraction? [Reply]
