I know CPJ is very big on 'rewarding' guys who practice and behave with playing time. Iirc, CPJ has a rule that if you miss practice you don't play that week. Assuming CNW follows that rule also. Since BJS missed some practice/game time due to something the coaches found stupid (injuring himself on a scooter that he probably shouldn't have been on). He's probably been on the $*** list. Maybe has to prove, to their satisfaction, that he's not only good enough to play; but dedicated, mature, responsible, etc, before the coaches 'trust' him with more playing time. eg Curry and Mitchell have "paid their dues".
Don't mean this as a criticism or an attack of BJS. He seems like a great young man and athlete. Just reading into our football team culture.
