Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 2453889"] If he plays, I will lose a lot of respect for our coaches and medical staff. I take post game press conferences with a grain of salt - but I did not think KO framed the decision right. It’s not just if Gilbert wants to play - he does - it’s having an adult in the room to provide some wisdom and long term thinking an 18 year old doesn’t possess. Keep in mind he not only got injuried 3 games into last season but also again this summer, which prompted the panic around obtaining a better brace. Four games into this season he reinjuried the shoulder. It’s up to the coaches to talk to him about what a great coach he could become etc. I believe someone not on the staff tried to do that yesterday. Saying it’s up to him is avoiding responsibility.
