Patriots legend not a fan of Bill Belichick benching Demario Douglas

A New England Patriots legend is disagreeing with the decision made by coach Bill Belichick to bench receiver Demario Douglas in last Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins.

That legend is none other than former Patriots safety Rodney Harrison.

Douglas was benched following a fumble in the first quarter of the 24-17 loss to the Dolphins. The benching proved to be a notable move, given that New England struggled to get production out of the receiver position for most of the night.

Douglas finished the game with two catches on two targets for 19 yards.
