He is trained to do what he's told as best as he can, and to now ask him to make an executive decision to take a knee is a hard ask for someone who is trained to do what he's told.
I think blaming the TE is pety and avoiding placing appropriate blame on those more responsible, namely Staley and our darling Herbert.
Staley already admitted and took full responsibility, which I would say is just generous, and he should take shared/most.
But Herbert too, as the QB and leader, he needs to have a feel for his weapons, especially in a critical time in the game.
It's amazing to me how we can baby our leaders (Staley and Herbert) and place the "bottom line" on a FA TE for not making his case strong enough.
but let's stick with blaming Everett as a hypothetical
If he was supposed to take a knee, why didn't he?
He knew this is exactly what he should do because that's been communicated clearly by the greatest offensive coordinator in the game, right?
Maybe he tried to take a knee but executed it wrongly?
What is the explanation for why GE didn't take a knee that will resolve everyone but him of responsibility??
serious question.
