That's lining up. It's not the "You my guy, Five!" howling that Mathieu does all the time.
There's a difference between on-field communications and 'messaging'.
I think his type of leadership has a shelf-life before it's tuned out. I think we're reaching that point. Like I said, when things were going poorly and he was out there showing guys up, he was as much a part of the problem as he was a part of the solution.
And Fenton coming in with Ward and Thornhill and playing assignment sound football sure made the scheme look better, didn't it?
If I can keep those 3 guys around next year and drop Mathieu (the defense didn't improve when he came back after week 1, nor did the communications/assignments), i think that's the way to go.
