Okay, two different points.
First, McCoy fumbles about once in every 120 touches. He's a bit worse than the league average from what I can tell (stats aren't easy to come up with).
Second, you're right. He wasn't benched because of fumbles. He was benched for something else and it wasn't an injury. He did something because they basically just shut him out down the stretch, like he wasn't even on the team. [Reply]

He must have called Gehrig Deiter a name. Or refused to kiss the ring of Mahomes. [Reply]

I think they didn't like his running style holding the ball out even if he didn't fumble a lot that risk of it being taken away in the playoffs I think scared the coaches especially if they tried to correct it in practice but he still did it. [Reply]

It also seems that some have forgot that when our OL was bad last year we were missing Fisher. If you remember he missed wk 3 to wk 11. It is like that is not part of the factor. Who knows that we might be able to get Osemele back for a stretch run. [Reply]

Scwhartz is taping an ankle. It's not dissimilar. [Reply]

Reid knew mccoy did that well before he signed with the chiefs. He knew that wasn't going to change. I find it hard to believe he got benched because of that. [Reply]
