Reason to hold David Johnson out makes little sense

David Johnson sat and watched as the Arizona Cardinals called a weakside counter with their rookie running back on third and two coming out of a two minute warning.

The play as it was lost three yards, set up a fourth and five and the rest was, as they say, history.

Much has been made of the playcall, the personnel, and the reasoning behind all of it, but not much of it holds water.

Johnson and the Cardinals say that Johnson missed a blitz pickup on the second and ten play previous, that required him to be pulled and coached up.
