Why do you think that practice is a better predictor than games?
Matthews goes against a defense that is better at stopping taller receivers than the smaller shifty guys in practice every day. He just isn't going to look as good in PRACTICE as Baldwin and Kearse. On the flipside, Baldwin and Kearse aren't going to look as good in games vs smaller shifty corners. It really is rather simple to figure this out and Pete even mentioned the same thing after the Super Bowl, but here we are again watching Matthews come in for three plays and catching the only ball thrown to him in a game while Kearse and Baldwin get smothered for the majority of the game.
Pete needs to step in and make the call like he did in the Super Bowl. Matthews could actually be a number one receiver, but the way it is going now, he will probably be making big plays on a different team.
I have seen enough balls batted into the air by Kearse to last a lifetime. Please make it stop.
So, again, just so I have this straight. Matthews is clearly and obviously the best receiver on the team, but Bevel hates him for some reason? Pete overrode Bevel and forced Matthews to play, but only in the Super Bowl? And now, Pete is back to allowing Bevel's hatred of Matthews get in the way of his obvious deserved playing time?
Is that what we're going with?
