It's interesting to me how our fans have forgotten how good some of our players were just a couple of years ago and yet make Luke Reynolds out to be a lot better than he was.

I mean we could have used one of the guys that beat out Luke Reynolds like Cody Brown. And I would have been outraged had Cohen made Brown sit out.

I don't mean to dog Luke Reynolds but he's essentially a guy that got hot late in the season on a bad team. He was hitting below the Mendoza line for most of that year and even as bad as that team was defensively he only played in the field three times. I highly highly doubt that Reynolds would have made that play defensively that Reid missed. Cody Brown probably makes it. Mike Smith probably makes it too.
People also seem to have forgotten what a shitshow that 2015 team was, and how Cohen cleaned house. It was pretty obvious to anyone that if Cohen gave you a directive after '15 on what you needed to do to be there in '16, you better do it. 8-22 wasn't going to happen again. Reynolds apparently didn't do it.
