Are we missing veteran locker room leadership?

[LA_Panther]

This is one of those intangible gut feeling theories, but I really feel there is something to be said about the presence of stand up dudes like Roman Harper, Jerrico Cotchery, Jared Allen etc.... In the locker room.

All of them were the type of dudes that would have stayed for peanuts, would have came off the bench and also played any position you asked them to.

What do you think

personally I think its a mental issue with the players.  I think they believe when the team let Norman walk and replaced with 3 rookies, and hardly made any moves to make the team better than last years, not for the future, just better than last years, that management was not concerned with repeating as NFC Champions.  They may feel, as some fans do now, that management sold them out.  Just like us, players do not always understand long term plans.

We have all the veteran leaders we need.

Next.

It's a mindset. Every team we face will give us their A game. We have not brought our A game to any game so far this season.

We are now the hunted. We haven't figured out what it takes to get back to the level we were last year.

They're missing leadership in their coach. 

We have leadership in that lockerroom. They may have checked on the coaches and management for whatever reasons. I agree with the above poster, once they let Norman walk without a solid replacement it came off as if they didn't care. They did nothing to help what was already here and its showing. They feel played.

We're missing talent in the secondary.

On Panther Talk tonight they were talking about how, just need time to gel...never hear that from the Patriots. It's becoming an excuse I'm not buying anymore.

Ron gets so many passes it's making my head spin.. he literally has become john fox 2.0 now.. he will milk the poo out of his superbowl appearance just like fox did.

Yes Harper, Tillman and Josh Norman. I used to call Roman Harper Slowman Harper but he is Sooooo much better than Boston. Cotchery was a first down machine. Any pressure from a DE would be God sent.

Belicheck is using a fuging super glue.  It's fast acting and works like magic.

Coleman is not in position himself to sit there and line up the secondary. CJ has checked out on the D-line as he has stopped playing for a big contract. Cam Newton has shifted focus to the food truck, clothing line, UFC, Nickelodeon business, it's as if he is preparing for life after football despite having 10 years left in the NFL at minimum. 

Just log off, would you?

It really is a secondary issue on defense. It isn't just leadership but the lack of experience playing in this defense. The number of missed assignments was alarming.

That'd be nice.

We are missing secondary leadership. Even old, slow Roman Harper could coordinate the back end of the defense to give up only 16 yards to Julio only one week ago.
