Tosh Lupoi on Whether a Player Can Lose His Job After an Injury

Yeah. You said after the game that you needed time to assess, look at the tape. Yep. Have you decided on who your quarterback is this week? And also, can you just address your philosophy on sort of if a quarterback or a player can't lose his position because of an injury versus who's playing best at the time? Yeah, so just to be clear for the third time now, right? This was the first opportunity I had to have the choice to play Jaron this last game. Okay. Right. And, um, the, the bet, the player that's going to best put us in position for success is going to be the decision. So it's not about losing, um, your, your spot via injury is, is, is that player, uh, healthy enough, um, and in position. So there'll never be someone as far as if they got, um, uh, an ankle or an elbow or anything or a concussion, right. Um, if the guy is available and ready to go, and he gives us our best chance to win, absolutely, right, so unfortunately, during pre-game, Ian Strong, you know, had a flare-up of a medical issue, and he was basically medically scratched from the game, so you gotta adapt, right, on game day, and do your best Jericho Johnson right um had a a stinger in Virginia Tech um I think it was first series of the weight game relapsed he was pulled out and got to adapt that's my job right adapt and um like we have been all season and um did a much better job 10 days ago you know adapting so kid that's the first part of my question have you decided who's starting on Saturday not last week but this week and I guess I'm a little confused if you weren't sure Jaron was ready to go in the first quarter finally ready to go in the third yeah you must be really confused so Jaron was available for this last game that was the first time he was available to play okay right so the preparation leading into the game plays a big role of right who can play and put us in the best position for success after Jackson right led us to a victory as well as the following week, who's available for preparation and who's available for the game.
