What happened the last time he sat a guy for screwing up?
He sat Hunter Smith for having three bobbles in 57 total snaps. He put in Zaire, who has 2 bobbles in 12 total snaps. Brindza was 11/17 on FGs and a perfect 40/40 on XPs before. Now he's 2/5 on FGs and has missed an extra point.
So, we go back to the stats:
With Smith:
FG%: 64%
XP%: 100%
Bobble %: 5%
With Zaire:
FG%: 40%
XP%: not 100%
Bobble %: 17%
And it's arguable the change had an impact in both losses.
Just my two cents.
