Is McGrew hurt? I haven’t seen him play in 2 games what gives? - Coloradodawgfan

Jimmy Lake in his press conference on Monday suggested that the carries were based on performance in practice and that Newton and Davis have consistently been performing better there and so have gotten the reps. Some of you may remember a similar argument being used by Chris Petersen when asked why Aaron Fuller and Andre Baccellia were starting over Puka Nacua, Marquis Spiker, or Austin Osborne.

This appears to be the opposite issue where if there hasn’t been separation at practice then Lake is leaning towards the younger guys who still have eligibility remaining.
