Johnny has been spitting bullets at me since he's been here because he thinks he should be playing more. We had decided he was ready to take over the No. 1 spot. Then he screwed up.

Sean has played well at a very important time of year. Johnny will get a start. If we can get the two of them going, it's a good problem to have.

I just don't like playing (Burke) back-to-back at this point in the season, so Johnny went in.

arty book far few four goes hard hit possibly raw readiness remember tried weeks work worry
I've tried to work with him this year. I remember I told him a few weeks ago, I said, 'Arty, don't worry about anything, just go and hit as hard as you possibly can.' He proceeded to go out and take four penalties. So, it's kind of a give and take here. But we want him to play hard. And the book on Arty is that he goes up and down as far as his readiness to play. But remember, he is a raw talent. And still a very young man, and you have to live with some of those bumps.
