So, all the other competitive kids that were also emotional because they didn’t start, could still be at practice, but Tate should be looked at different? Guys like Perry and many others that lost out on starting positions, had their butts at practice. Heck, Kennedy transferred here and was pegged to be the starting LT, but he’s hasn’t cracked the starting lineup since he’s been here....not even during the Spring, but he hasn’t missed a day of practice. Perry, especially would’ve caught **** from fans if he’d miss practice. But instead, many of you coddle and make excuses for Tate.
Manny and the coaches said they’d put the players in difficult circumstances to get a sense of who they are. You find out a lot about a person when there is adversity...when they’re under pressure. We found out a lot about Tate yesterday.
Missing practice yesterday showed you all you need to know about Tathan Martell. It showed a lack of mental toughness. It showed he’s not a team player. It shows he’s not a leader if things aren’t going his way. It showed he’s not a fighter. It also showed a sense of entitlement.
