You ever notice he only talks about the good players on the team for the most part, yet those same players he seems to criticize the most? Albert, Bowe, Flowers, Dorsey etc? Why? Because those are the guys that he will build the team around, yet at the same time he needs for them to rise to even greater levels. As a coach you ride your best players the hardest. The guys you know don't have "it" you make due with them. Bowe probably has the highest ceiling of anyone on the team besides Flowers, so those two guys will get ridden the hardest. Since Flowers seems to be living up to his part he hasn't caught the full force of it. Once bowe starts he'll stop riding his ass so hard.

Oh I have no doubts that will happen. But when you're benching good players, you're benching quality. Over what? Lack of quality. It doesn't make sense.
If you bench lack of quality then it doesn't hurt as much because at least you can find out what you have on the depth charts.
Benching quality is only hurting the team. If you're gonna bench someone, bench the guys who don't perform. Then maybe you bring out the best in those players?
