So we’ve been talking about personnel this week and whether some people deserve a spot and whether others deserve a shot. Seems like there is incentive to make a change or two or, at the very least, consider the possibility and prepare for the occasion. Certain things could happen in this game Saturday that simply must trigger a consequence.

And so it was this little Bill Stewart snippet from Tuesday’s press conference sure seemed conspicuous by its presence.

“I don’t know if they like me. I don’t really care. I like some of them. Some of them I don’t like, to be brutally honest. I don’t like guys who waste talent. I don’t dislike them as a person, but I don’t like wasted talent. I detest people who waste talent. My fuse for them is very short. I sit them and go to the next person.”
