For the record, I am not accusing anyone of anything.
But, I went to the game on Thursday with a friend who played WR for LSU under Curly Hallman (when PB was DC). He commented to me after one of several ES drops that it looked like he dropped it on purpose. I also felt that a couple of ES' drops looked almost unnatural.
I mentioned to him that ES was JWill's roommate and best friend. He said that was interesting, b/c he said that, while it is wrong, some players will sometimes rebel when they think coaches are not doing the right thing or playing the right players.
Now, again, neither he nor I are accusing anyone of anything, but that's just a little bit of info. I certainly would think that ES has all the incentive in the world to play well for himself. He also, from what I recall, made a few nice plays that really made a difference.
