I agree.
I consider the comments by Haley and Pioli during their press conference yesterday about Engram and Thomas being reliable and in shape coming into the conditioning program as a good indication of why Franklin was cut.
All indications point to Haley using this program to set a tone that is obviously less loosy-goosy than under Herm. Franklin probably was singled out, but not without reason from the Haley/Pioli perspective.
