Except you can’t.If the numbers were closer to 20 and 12 carries respectively with a three yard per carry versus four yard per carry you could make more of case for Edmonds.But, proving a point at this juncture in a game, that no player is immune to being pulled for a “mistake” is simply not the way to win football games.It is a great way to make a point.No one is above the team, when one of us makes a mistake, we all fail.However Sam Bradford Jersey 2019 , there is a time and a place for this.Not at the expense of the rest of the team.Not at the expense of your first potential win as an NFL head coach.Maybe this is the springboard the Cardinals need.It just feels like a bad way to have gone about everything.
