Good points Zero. My point is simply this regarding Al, Javon, McKenzie etc. is that when you sign a contract you live to the contract. If you want to change it go to your boss and talk to him and say, "hey how about a raise? I've produced for you, I've been a good leader, I deserve better." But when you take it to the media, when you don't show up for things that a good teammate does, then you become a distraction. I'll say the same thing for Woodson. The OTA's would have been a great opportunity for him to build some commeraderie with his teammmates. If he was injured, if his kids were sick, if he had a sick parent, I can accept that. I can't accept I'm going on vacation. When you sign the contract, you sign to do even things that aren't mandatory. I'll tell you what, I disagreed with Sherman when he excused Brett Favre from mini camps last year. He's a leader on this team, his team needed him. Now, if you don't want him throwing or working out, ok, but he too should have been there.
Again Zero, just my opinion, it doesn't mean I think you're wrong. You make valid points and I respect that.
