Jim Irsay on why Andrew Luck benched against Bills: "Rex has never heard of the word 'Preseason'"

[drdetroit]

Colts are a hot mess this year.  They have no OL they might as well bench Luck the entire season why waste him

[New York Mick]

That might be the dumbest sh*t I've heard from a owner/coach. Yes it's pre season but Rex isn't on the field playing taking cheap shots. If he calls a lot of blitzes call the proper protection for it. It's practice so ******* practice.

He can do whatever he wants.  It's his player, he can go to the GM and HC.  It may not have been his idea.  People hate Irsay.  Where's the thread over Tyrod Taylor sitting out in that same game?  Who's blasting Jerry Jones for Romo sitting?  Kaep was given the day off.  Others sit, Irsay is chastised.  

And yes, if you're playing a team that's going to go blitzing QBs etc in a GSM the offense isn't game planning and your 100 mil QB who was injured most of last season, you might be better off sitting him.  

My issue is more of putting it out there in social media that they're sitting him because as he says the Bills blitz a lot. That seems weak, and uncalled for to imply the other is being dirty. All he could have said was "our organization felt Andrew coming off various injuiries from last season needed some time to rest before the regular season," without inplicating another team. The reason no one is talking about Romo and Taylor is because no one from those teams cried about another team.

And at the end of the day, what's the big deal? 

Lots the 1st preseason game and Jet fans have an issue over an Irsay comment.  We all know they're more concerned with keeping Luck injury free.

The only bigger buffon in the NFL than Rex is Irsay, they're a perfect couple.

Rex is all about winning. He cares about one thing, and one thing only, winning!

There is nothing more important than winning, NOTHING, with the only exceptions being:

players liking him

feet

womans feet

mens feet

gorilla feet

hot QB's schtupping his wife's feet

being considered a defensive mastermind

Making sure his kids have jobs in the NFL as defensive masterminds

Making sure his dad gets full credit for the 1985 Bears

Not taking any blame for anything that goes wrong with the team

Getting full credit for anything that goes right with the team

how the beat writers like him

how the fans like him

making sure "his" defense is better than "the" offense
