[Husker] Dailey

I think one thing that has been overlooked about JD's demotion to 4th  string 
was in one of the myriad of articles printed over the last week. It  talked 
about Dailey "refusing" to practice after his shoulder injury even though  he 
had been cleared by the medical staff. This was at the same time that Taylor  
had been puking between plays. JD made mention in the article that he thought 
he  was dropped to 4th string to be an example to the team. 
 
I can relate to the coach doing that. Someone who's supposed to be  competing 
for a job and then doesn't appear to be willing to give the same level  of 
effort as his competition would be grounds for me to make a move. I've done  the 
same with soldiers going up for a promotion slot. I'm not questioning JD,  
and I don't pretend to know what's going on in his head, but I can see the  
coach's point of view. I know that this is a big assumption on my part that this  
had anything to do with anything.
 
Back in the day we had several guys on here that would break down every  
offensive and defensive player. They were chased away for whatever reason by  
folks who still remain on this list. Today's list seems to be either more of  just 
rehashing whatever the media puts out there or a bunch of guys sitting  
around the coffee shop complaining about "the new guys." 
 
Here we are following the Spring Game and no one has really broken down the  
plays and the players. Instead everyone wants to attack each  other or bring 
back the "golden days vs. the current woes arguement." Its  been this way for 
the past 18 months and is really getting old. Thank God for  the delete key.
