lowery benched (1 Viewer)

if anybody hears further put it on in here.

in one week I have now knocked out orton, lowery, and anderson.

for people wondering why it took them so long to make the move in cleveland, it's because I didn't put him in my starting line up 'til today.

huh?

I think this is what he was talking about From the NY Daily News -

Mangini didn't give a reason for benching rookie CB Dwight Lowery in the second half, although it's clear that Lowery's performance has slipped in recent weeks. He was replaced by David Barrett.

NY Homer... Mangini has his head up his *** because this kid is playing great. He had one bad game. He'll be starting again soon, Barrett is no prize.

I'm hoping this was just an ingame thing... But does anyone know if Lowery is benched for the upcoming game? If so, I just wasted a waiver pickup and FBG needs to update their depth charts on the home page.

Doesn't look too good. This last paragraph seems to confirm that there will be some type of rotation, which I think I saw mentioned in a different story.

LOWERY GETS WAKE-UP CALL

CB Dwight Lowery admitted he took his benching last week to heart. The rookie was lifted in favor of veteran David Barrett in the second quarter after ineffective play. Lowery, who returned for a few plays before hitting the pine again, has struggled in recent weeks with opponents targeting him rather than Darrelle Revis, who is developing into a shutdown cornerback. Lowery admitted "a different person comes out" when he's challenged.

"Any time I've had some type of challenge -- some type of obstacle -- I come back harder," Lowery said. "When I got pulled out -- when something happens to you on the field -- if you don't take it personally, you're never going to improve. Some guys look at it as if (they're) not good enough. Some guys look at it as (their) time is over. But the best guys take it to a personal level. I can take a lot out of the (benching). Obviously, it's motivation."

Mangini was noncommittal about whether Lowery would strart this week. Lowery and Barrett shared the first-team reps in the portion of practice open to the media Wednesday.
