Why?
Are you really asking why/
Leveon was the best RB in the NFL last season, and one of the best 3 players at any position. Every single NFL coach and every single fan (except possibly you idk?) would have done the EXACT same thing with the Pitt situation.
Freeman/Coleman on the other hand is as dissimilar of a situation as anyone could possibly think of. Coleman is a rookie who had zero NFL experience prior to week 1. DAW is an old ass NFl vert who has proven to be mediocrely average throughout his 10+ year career.
And while Williams filled in and actually had 2 pretty solid games compared to what was expected of him in Bell's absence, Freeman has been the best performer in the entire league over teh past 5 weeks.
Its pretty ridiculous to even compare the 2 situations.
But thats what this thread is for, so touche!
