T-Dub Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 8 hours ago, Cricket said: I can’t really disagree with this, but Marvin “clap, clap, clap” Lewis was never able to motivate his teams. Of course, that task would be easier if you have the Ray Lewis type of players on your roster that are good at motivating their teammates, And while it is true that Zac Taylor “motivated” his team only to a 2-14 record last year, you cannot deny that this past off-season has been like no other...in a good way. And that includes the character and leadership of the players being brought in through free-agency and the draft. So, I believe that there is definitely a culture shift happening...even with “the people who signed off on all those bad decisions still running the team.” I am excited about that culture shift and hope that is enough to overcome the the ones “at the top.” Don’t rain on my parade. 🦗 So far it seems like mostly hot air to me. My faith in this "character" stuff died a quick death with the Turner hire. Bobby Shart being allowed to spew his ignorance all over the internet pissed on its grave. These rookies could all be great leaders but the fact is they are still rookies, and the loudest veteran on the team is a fucking Flat Earther. Once again, ownership coddles an absolute locker room cancer because it's cheaper & easier than the alternatives. I see no reason to think these new guys aren't going to get Bengalized just like every other talented individual that comes through here. Parades are nice, but also meaningless.

spicoli Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 I think this line is rock solid left to center. I’d love to see Price push Su’a-Filo at RG. They seem set on Hart in my mind. Could be wrong though. Was at least happy to hear that none of those false starts were on him lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear if the team owes you 5 bucks you could shit on Redeemer's desk & wipe your ass with the photo of his grandkids without getting fired. I have a feeling mistakes are never going to be Hart's fault as long as Turner is around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact, from everything I’ve been able to find, they genuinely like playing for the guy. Go figure, huh’? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I rarely hear people badmouth their bosses to the media in any business, let alone ones where they get paid millions. Crazy huh? I guess they all just respect them too much.

Hart is a 60 pff graded RT for his career.. Surely Zach can see Johnson could at least be that good....no? I guess its the "veteran" status that keeps Hart relevent....

claptonrocks Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 So it seems Adenijji his making a move up the chart.. Can play guard or tackle..

I think he was born to play RT....get thru this season with Hart/Johnson and then plug him right into that spot next year and don’t look back. Same thing I said about MJordan last year. Both of those guys are middle round gold strikes, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a really good thing for this franchise if Billy Price could win that starting RG job and keep it. Not saying it’s gonna happen but it sure would be nice.
