Haener starts vs Commanders: 1 INT, 5 punts ; Rattler replaced Haener in 2H: led to 19 points
I really feel like this was Rizzi trying to create a culture more than anything. Haener was the #2 going into the season and when Carr went down the first time, DA went around him and started Rattler to try and save his job.
Rizzi wanted to give his #2 the courtesy of starting as is the pecking order on the depth chart. When he didn’t perform Rizzi gave some support on the sidelines but made the necessary change in order to try and win the game.
Excellent coaching from Rizzi in this one.
