That being said, i wouldn't want Teague to say anything else. LOB cops plenty of whacks and his confidence would be rock bottom. What he needs is backing from his coach. Anything else and its to his, and the teams, detriment.
As long as its words, and Teague doesn't follow through by actually picking him!
LOB handed out a couple of hot potato passes as well, but he received some also. Ironically, you get some of the very same fans lambasting SPS for being tagged with the pill, but if he hands it off to a team-mate who gets pegged he'll be lambasted for that as well. It's a no win situation for players like LOB and SPS.
