It obviously hasn't worked out, so they have taken accountability and benched him. How is this a problem? McK has had many more issues beyond the fumble. The blown squib kick against WFT, muffing a punt against Miami, bad choices for free kicks, bad choices to return, etc. I think he's out of his element as a returner. They benched Butler 8 weeks too late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see a coach telling someone that they're 'out for the season' due to a fumble. Maybe Mcd is finally sending a message after that crap Sunday. This team is in the ropes. Maybe he would rather go down taking a chance with hungry players than guys who think they are a lock and are not focused. Maybe the mckenzie show on tic tok or IG etc has triggered Mcd given the team is losing. Doing your job, joking around while winning is one thing; losing and joking around with the season truly on the line is not tolerable behavior if you want to remain an NFL head coach. Just after the jets game Mcd d was telling the press how much mckenzie meant and they should check into his story. A costly fumble , contributing little else , while the team went from #1 seed to now hanging onto the last spot is no joke and for once maybe Mcd is actually shaking things up. Mos. Being a healthy scratch twice in one season either means they overestimated his talent or he is not working to improve having been a “ star” at Utah! He has played like crap the last 3-4 weeks. Looks sluggish, missing running designed lanes, dropping screens. Brieda is hungry, and has passed him by. Moss better make a business decision to work , cuz the NFL guys are not afraid to tackle him. Bad or disappointing pick by Beane so far. Could be wake up calls, but a second time for moss ( who looks slow) , is a big red flag and if Brieda keeps doing fairly well , he will be sitting this year barring injury and fighting for a roster spot next year! I am finally this year encouraged by mcD realizing this team is under performing and for once, he is not afraid to act ! Butler should have just been cut. Excited to see what Stevenson can do. This receiving group needs more deep speed , and now I don’t have to be anxious fielding punts and kick offs. Great moves, I hope they pay off because the season is at most two losses away from being over ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Smith Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I'm intrigued to see how Bryant does. I was impressed by his play during preseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the players you bench when you're afraid to bench someone important or when you can't fire a coach. You bench JAGs and pray it makes a difference. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyobills89 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Dang weird wonder what happened. Wasn't it not long ago mcd was praising Isaiah on one of his interviews like big time? It's his response on Twitter that has me wondering what happened. Edited November 26, 2021 by Wyobills89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCofNC Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 If he’s benched for a rookie over that play, then I’m legitimately fine with McD being fired. 14 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said: Coach finally exacting some consequences.

Do The Reich Thing Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 On one hand I feel bad for Isaiah because he resigned for peanuts to run it back, but on the other hand he doesn’t need to be all sour grapes about not playing.

RunTheBall Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I love this place. Everyone screaming for McD to shake things up, he does, and people are crying “OMG NOT THAT GUY BENCH THE OTHER GUY”. Give me a break. Who the hell is he going to bench instead?? We’ve got zero O-line depth, little RB depth and Diggs, Bease, Sanders, Davis are locks. So who should have been realistically benched instead? He made the right move. He recognizes we need more speed on the field, that’s Stevenson and Brieda. McKittrick wasn’t benched for one fumble he was benched for multiple near misses and bad decisions. The fumble was just the cherry on top and opened the door for Stevenson to see what he can do before the playoffs (hopefully). 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
