What vets did Hartley bench for mistakes or other learning reasons (as opposed to famously benching the hungover 3)? You can’t count switching bottom line vets - that’s just roster choices. If that’s the case, Ward has benched Leivo, Simon, etc plenty.
This year Lucic hasn’t done anything to be benched over - making a mistake on a particular play isn’t why guys get benched. Continual mistakes, lack of effort, a need to see things from above - those are the usual reasons.
