I see ZERO benefit - to Dow or the team - in continuing to pick Dow in the 1s.
He's lost.
And he's certainly keeping others out of the 22 who will almost certainly have a far bigger impact on team success presently.
Setters is little different but has done more at times.
Teague needs to be smart. Not ultra conservative.
Dow may still come good, but getting 8 touches every week simply is unacceptable in the role he performs.
No being a smart ass here, but what is that role? That is, how do we know what role the coaches are asking him to play? If he keeps getting picked, he may be meeting those requirements. Just saying.
