Kalil absent again

I’m hoping this is Hurney having some balls and telling Kalil his ass is done starting for this team.  Matt, being a bitch, is now refusing to come to practice.

Hurney doesn't make those decisions. Rivera does.

Coaches decide who starts and who sits.

Unless it’s a major money think like it is with Kalil.

Hurney could tell Rivera that he’d cut Kalil it it wouldn’t finalcially hurt the team, so they’ll instead keep his ass around as a backup unto the season is over, at which point he will be cut.

Sounds like the guy is taking time to contemplate if he wants to continue playing football. 

Or he has a mystery injury. 

But rivera’s Comments didn’t sound like it was anything physical. I think maybe Kalil is over it

    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
    • Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
