Yeah, it was weird having Matthews start in the slot. Maybe weird isn't the word I want. I think "dumb" is the word. Matthews might have more consistent hands than Bourne, but nothing else he does is better than Bourne. He simply offers the least value to us.
I don't know why we continue to force Garland to play center. Johnson is clearly better, but the beat writers reported today that the team isn't even considering anyone else as an option outside of Garland. To that, I honestly say. WTF. I mean W. T. F.
It would be one thing if he was reportedly doing great in practice, but even THOSE are negative on BG. If you wasted money guaranteeing his salary, oh well. You made a mistake. Don't jeopardize your team's success because of that. Protect Jimmy. Start Johnson at C or at LEAST over Toran at OG. Toran is constantly getting tossed to the ground. I don't want him falling on another one of our guys. It was terrifying that he was out there with the Starters in front of Jimmy G.
