An Attitude Change

Look at the Jets. Basically the same team, Favre out, Sanchez in. Other than that it is the same team. What changed? The Coach! A coach with attitude and a fire for winning at any cost. One man completely changed the team. And yet when we change our DC we look exactly the same or worse at times.

But I will say Fox did not look happy after yesterdays loss. He actually looked pissed, lips were tight and he was walking fast for him. Do you think a change will really happen or will it be the same "it is what it is" attitude? I haven't seen the post game interview yet, to know if he is pissed. Anybody have a link to it?

Someone is going to have to get angry and get to work.

At best, we look like an average team, shooting for 8-8. At worst, we look hapless. The offense is nowhere as strong as last year and the defense looks mushy.

Don't even get me started on our special teams. Let's just say that they must take the short team bus to the games.

But if this game doesn't light a fire under them, then I don't know what will.

It is on NFL.com under videos.

This week, it's "There are no cupcakes in this league."

Call me crazy but this team reminds me of the team the Bucs traded for Gruden so he could kick them in the A$$ and get them to the big dance. That's exactly what we need as we do have a lot of talent I just think Fox's message has finally stop working the players are just not responding to it anymore. Gruden could be brought in just kinda to motivate this team and just use the same O scheme and let him work on this Cover 2. Lets face it I don't think we could get much worse.

This is one of the most disappointing thing I have noticed about our team. Remember a few years back when Jenkins and Peppers were jaw jacking about how our D-line was better than Tampa's? Or remember our first season when Del Rio was our DC? During those years our defense would come out and dominate....They would knock you down, spank your ass, and kick your dog as they walked away. Back then John Fox was a hungry HC that took over this team and said he wasn't taking any crap from players that don't perform. Back then we won some and lost some but at least we could see the emotion and heart in the way we played.

I remember when Fox/Del Rio was riding Deon Grants ass all week long and he responded by coming out in the Minnesota game and had 3 or 4 picks (that was in the Randy ratio days).

Somewhere along the way.....Coach Fox has become complacent and lost his edge. Our defense is supposed to beat you up - instead we find ourselves getting pummeled on Sunday. Our team looks about as inspired as a wet wash cloth and there is good old Coach Foxy, standing on the sideline, chewing his gum, and clapping his hands like a wind up monkey.

He's been here too long. It's around this point in the tenure of long-running coaches where they lose their fire and need to step away for a year or two. He needs a change of scenery and we need a new coach. I think there's only one reasonable solution to this....

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
