A platoon situation made no sense at all...they were trying to let Gerber work himself into shape.

It was made blatantly evident, right out of training camp. Gerber is NOT that guy. <BR/><BR/>I agree to a degree that Murray was going back to Gerber to save face (after all, he was "anointed" as the No. 1 'tender by the contract he received), but I think The Universal Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205794337265829420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21327159.post-1163481834472690932006-11-14T00:23:00.000-05:002006-11-14T00:23:00.000-05:00I don't know if Murray was so much allowing Emery ...I don't know if Murray was so much allowing Emery to split duties as feeling like he had to go back to Gerber even after he crapped the bed every game.<BR/><BR/>What happened to this guy?
