He has also said more than once that practice and games are different. I agree with that to a certain extent as well, but believe playing time should be given taking both of those factors into account. In some cases I think Geno's hook is too swift. If for example a player has performed well for a couple of weeks in practice, as he implies for some, then has a bad first couple of minutes in a game, she may sit the rest of the game. I'm not saying ignore how they play in a game if that continues over more playing time, then he has to adjust accordingly. Just give them more rope to show how they can do, when they have performed in practice. That should be even more true with three games in a row when giving our starters more of a blow could have been quite strategic. [/QUOTE]
