There's a reason EJ is sitting at 3 and it has little or nothing to do with the first PS game. (I know that's not what you inferred, just reinforcing your point) Those decisions are made based on what the coaches have already seen on & off the field. EJ was decent in game one, but, he's still with the 3's. He is going to have to be special every day it seems to move on up.
I hope that his play, & not preconceptions, are what led to his current status.
