Good claimed by Raiders

[Racehorse]

Good for them!

He should at least have a career as a backup. But I would like to see a lot of the perpetually injured guys phased out.

He deserves a break after the difficulty he's had this year. Hope he can make the best of it.

According to a story in The Athletic this morning, Denzelle Good asked to be released. He wasn't happy with how he was treated after returning to the team after his brother's murder.

I'm presuming this comes down to the fact that he lost his starting job during this time period.

Sounds like the line coach is an asshole

Sure does. I question the timing of this story, though. It seems Good isn’t without character flaws himself

Or misquoted. Considering he was one of the pre-McDaniels back out hires and a former Cheater, neither would surprise me.

The NFL is a zero sum business. There are acceptions made for players for maternity, family illness/ death.

The Smith kid got a shot at RT, and he hasnt giveb it up. Hauge came off the DL and other guys had stepped up. If Goode winds up a starter, Ill be surprised. He hasnt strung an entire season together for the Colts. Meanwhile the O line is playing its best ball since Howard Mudd.

Im sorry for Good,s loss, but if he couldnt find his way back to his given profession, he wasnt helping the team.

That’s an understatement if Good is accurately recounting what DeGuglielmo said. I’ll say it’s hard to understand on it’s face – why would the coach beat him down like that after his brother had just been killed? – but I’m not a football coach and admittedly sometimes those guys do some pretty damned stupid stuff in an effort to “motivate” the players, so I can’t rule it out as impossible.

Good was obviously in a tough spot and probably already feeling unfairly treated since he had just lost his brother and, in dealing with THAT situation which was completely out of his control, he ended up losing his job because Smith came in his absence and played so well.

Holder seems to suggest, based upon his prior dealings with the Colts coaching staff, that the Colts did everything they could for him and that Good might not be providing a completely fair description of the situation. The Colts probably won’t comment.
