Though higher profile, this benching seems along the same lines of Blair Jones last year. After nothing noticeable to do with his play, the next he's benched, a week later he's on waivers. You never got a truthful answer, just a stock one, but Jones has never gotten out of that doghouse.
This same sort of seemingly (from the outside) irrational dislike for a player almost seems to be possibly bubbling up here. If Sven and the coach are butting heads internally, dont like the chances for Sven. Sven wont be kicked around like a journeyman as Jones has been, there would be a few teams calling I would guess.
Time will tell. A 1-4 road trip doesnt help.
