Most likely that's crazy talk, but, it would be how it was handled, IMO.
That's exactly what I thought Pehawk. His pass blocking was pretty suspect last game. Watch him on the Wilson to Willson TD vs the Panthers. He would be going up against Peppers this game. He can't afford those types of missed blocks this time around.
Rather than Pete throwing Britt under the bus in the media by saying he's might be benched for his play, he says Britt is "questionable, depending how he looks in practice" based on a previously unmentioned sore knee. Meanwhile behind the scenes, Britt is being put on notice that he better "compete" in practice this week.
BTW, this was the same type of cover story answer Pete would give for Christine Micheal early in the year when he wasn't getting in games. When supposedly the real story was that Micheal simply wasn't performing well enough.
Just a possibility.
