i never really had anything against zach's play. he plays hard. i guess what tipped me in the other direction concerning him is his general attitude regarding a change of direction. his age is speaking, of course but he has to sacrifice ego for the development and better welfare of the team as a team and not a pro-bowl brigade.
also, i know others will argue this but to insert yourself into a game, furthering an injury, is just an example of, not doing whats best for the team, but keeping another kid from the new toy in the classroom.
ps: pope looks like a pretty excitable player.
