We're gonna find out this year or next.... assuming if we don't get a season this year that players aren't a year of service.
He said in the video you quoted that HE was the one putting bad tape out. Did he say it was his receivers not being anything of relevance? Did he say it was Ron Rivera being shit? Nah. I don't think that's a very selfish attitude, but I could be wrong.
I'll give ya that, the one 5 seconds out of those five minutes where he took an iota of personal responsibility for his situation, he most certainly did..then it was five minutes of me, me, me, not one mention of being excited to be playing for NE, not one mention of new teamates, not one "thankful to be given this opportunity", not even anything resembling a mix of selfishness and team with something like- I'm gonna go out and win NE a super bowl" I'm gonna put the Patriots on my back and carry them to the playoffs"..nothing. No team. Just like his play on the field. Break the huddle, "you guys go on, imma sit here in the ground for a few extra seconds so everyone knows its about me", score a TD, " Imma turn my back on my teamates, find a camera, pose first, and maybe then I'll acknowledge the other ten guys that got me here" something bad happened? "Imma sit on the bench with this towel, nobody talk to me"
He gets a lot of shit for that tactic, and that isnt why hes considered a great coach. His jewelry collection is why hes considered a great coach..because he produces results
I'd guess it was something about the injuries they played through.
Yeah, for me personally, I'm just trying not to get my hopes too high until I actually see real football happening. Getting all excited and then getting disappointed just doesn't sound like fun
NFLPA approved the plan. Thats gotta be promising.
Thats a damned good sign.
Well, at least the incentive to opt out isn't like unemployment (where some actually ended up with raises). Guess some of that decision will come down to who has been smart with their $$. .... I'm just glad at this point I have backups to my prime starters in dynasty. ....
At some point, the heart and soul of some fantasy owners teams will be ripped away..its gonna happen
opt outs pouring in, and a season in limbo, baseball made it was 48 hours before it was an issue. Hard to get excited or even think about it now
If it keeps going, and if they keep playing anyways, I think it'll be a lot like 1987. A shit ton of "who the f is that guy?"
If teams promote practice squad players or need to sign guys off the street, I'm sure some will have that overzealous mentality that they need to hit harder, or play more physical to get the attention of the coaches.
