Please do not try and put words in my mouth. 

 

The link you provided shows that Gratz played 39 snaps, which is 57% of the total defensive snaps. It does not tell you however, how many of those snaps occurred after this play. Furthermore, it doesn't tell you how many opportunities he had that were taken away. If the Jaguars go base 4-3 late in the game since the Chargers are trying to chew clock, where is that reflected in your 39 snaps/57% percent statistic?

 

Nowhere.

Lol dude, definitely not trying to put words in your mouth. You told me they benched the Gratzter in favor of Joshy J which didn't happen. This play happen as the first official play for the Chargers in the 3rd quarter (after the PI to house). Gratz continued to play in the next 4 defensive series whenever they were in nickel. When Johnson saw the field it was midway in the 4th quarter in a redzone situation where he played his 4 plays and the Chargers got a FG. On the very next offensive series  for the Chargers with about 4 minutes left in the game, guess who was back on the field? The GRATZTER! If you don't believe me you could watch nfl replays on games for free using the interwebs and you can watch at high speeds like 2x while using your mouse to select different parts of the game. Takes about 5 minutes to do. 

 

All I was saying, is they should have benched Gratz after that boneheaded play. They didn't, and its comical to me.

It was a mental error. We make so many mental errors, if we benched every player who made a mental error, we'd run out of players before halftime.


Maybe the Pats can bench guys for mental errors, but in our case, the solution to things like this isn't benching, it's better coaching.

After seeing this, how do you not bench players? They failed to recognize the coverage at the line. Bench the player who called the scheme, fire the coach who sent in the scheme, bench the players who failed to recognize the offense.

 

It was not Poz's fault we had a bad scheme. That falls directly on Todd Wash. You can't fire Wash after only one bad game.

 

Recognizing the offense is one thing. Using good tackling techniques at the 5 yard is unrelated to that. You see a man with the ball, get there, wrap him up, done.

Gold stars for those who correctly identified Gratz as the culprit on that second crossing route.
