Management and the coaches have instructed the leaders of the team to not be abrasive with the younger players. Coleman has wanted to go there and so have some other key vets, but the management and coaches are protecting the younger players and their fragile psyches.

This goes back to why certain players have been removed from the team who would ride these young players when the team is losing until they would rise up or break.

So, expect this attitude from CJ, Cam, TD, and Coleman. They are not taking kindly to all the excuses being made for the younger players who are holding the team back. A group of players feel they were sold a promise of a dynasty only to see what appears to be a rebuild where they are more mentors than leaders.

What coach and other members of management would instruct their vets to do this though? Coaches DREAM of being having this vet leadership.

The culture Gettleman/Rivera have created in the locker room is not going to be sustainable in the face of adversity. They want to protect and incubate their younger players without the harsh leadership holding them accountable for their actions.

    • yeah, now it's going to get awkward.  The team circles pay attention to all this stuff.  All the wives and girlfriends see the posts.  They all talk like everyone.  Football is just a normal world outside of the fact they play a game for lots of money.  Gossip travels. They know the Theilen's want out at this point.  Carolina is now the disappointed failed trade location.    So now AT takes sort of an inhouse hit in Carolina IMO  
    • Ummm... The dude looked like he was about 180 pounds soaking wet with us (I don't care what his listed weight was/is) - he would have been destroyed in the run game even more than our current and past crappy ILBs. The problem is we primarily play 3-4 or nickel/dime - there is little room on the field for him because he isnt an edge LB blitzer and he can't cover for crap. The only thing he can do kind of well is be an in-the-box safety that can try and beat blockers to the spot because of his athleticism. Washington was able to make him work last year because they used him solely as an in-the-box safety and almost exclusively ran a single high FS. The funny thing is they had good yards/game stats against the pass despite most of their secondary having embarrassingly low PFF grades. Washington was also terrible against the run, which might explain why they gave up so few yards passing.
    • Just get the deal done. We've teased it so much that the Thielen's expect it. Now we run the risk of our veteran WR locker room presence becoming disgruntled. Just take what we can get, make him happy, and get future assets while freeing up snaps for guys who will be here beyond this season.
