butler stay or go ?

Stay.

I think Butler will be 1 or 2.

One too many Romulan Ales, Captain?

I hear what you’re saying, and agree. Still, the process must be a dynamic one to work well. The playbook is immense and the players are largely unknown to the staff until they see them in camp. It’s my impression that coaches try to develop an overarching system for the team but also must adjust that system to account for individual talents or weaknesses. If Taaffe is only working on x plays per week, then it makes sense to unveil now those best adapted to the intended starter. But maybe I’m totally out to lunch here.
