If Amari Carter doesn't want to play football, we can't want it for him.
If Manny Diaz doesn't want to coach better, we can't want it for him. Who in the **** would choose Amari Carter as a captain for this team and he can't stay on the field? What person would still have him out there wearing the captain's C on his jersey if not to send the wrong message to the rest of the team? Manny doesn't even understand that? Manny you are running a D1 football team not a youth league team!
If Mark Pope doesn't want to focus at all times on the field, we can't want it for him. Sure he played a great 3 quarters, and then two drops in a row. No consequences for poor performance leads to more poor performance.
If Mike Harley doesn't want it, we can't want it for him. Sure he had the game of his life, is anyone expecting reversion to the mean the rest of the season? Why would we think that way Mike? Probably because there is no trust, but its up to him not us.
If our O-line doesn't mind getting bulldozed week after week then they don't want it, so we can't want it for them. At some point embarrassment has to set in or someone else needs a turn. Never seen a whole group on a football team combined play that poorly and not seem to mind.
If Al Blades doesn't want to cover guys that run past him, then we can't want it for him.
I point out the names from last night but those names change week to week, some repeat but it is still the same attitude where they do not seem to care. They will regret the opportunities they squandered later in life but they are kids that are currently in squandering mode. Sad to watch as an alum and a fan for the past 35 years but if these kids don't want it, then we can't want it for them. I fell bad that the folks leading these kids can't get through to them but I have two teenage sons who display the same attitudes and I can't figure that out either. I like the days when Edge, or Michael Irvin were out there because their hunger was written all over their life stories', now I see no hunger and it is uninspiring. Ed reed was hungry, Reggie Wayne was hungry, Santana Moss was hungry, Ray Lewis was hungry, we see very little hunger, Don Chaney looks a little hungry, King looks hungry, Harley looked hungry last night for the first time I have ever seen. Sad that hunger is the missing ingredient at the U.
