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.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
