Watts is a conversation we need to have. But they seem to be adamant Sorensen gets his 20 snaps a game at this point.

This is more about DoD replacing Neiman. I refuse to believe Neiman is more athletic than DoD. And maybe im mistaken, but doesn't DoD have more time with the Chiefs than Neiman?

This. Why not give him a chance? Obviously you can't go replacing players every time they have a bad game like the fans want. But when a player is consistently getting burnt, you have very little to lose in giving someone else a chance. We obviously should have been starting Ward over Scandrick all of 2018.

For the first 5 games of the season all the pundits and fans clamored for Thornhill over Sorenson. In the back of my mind I thought Spags must know something we don't. Nope - turns out he's just stubborn and plays favorites.

Sometimes I wonder if our coaches get entrenched in their positions, and worry that they'll look bad when the replacement outperforms. Which would really suck if that's what's happening.
