[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 675324"] That would be expected to occur in private. I don't think there's a coach around who doesn't put a check mark in the negative column when he hears complaints in the morning paper, metaphorically speaking. Nonetheless, Sitton's kvetching about the Arizona game plan wasn't enough to earn him the boot all by itself, otherwise he would have never made it to camp. As noted previously, there are parallels to the Woodson situation. So why was Woodson summarily fired and Sitton was not? Probably because Woodson did not have a good year playing safety whereas Sitton was still projected as a good player. Behavior is weighed against performance and the always present question of "who else ya got? Evidently there were enough Sitton negative check marks accumulating while the positive check marks in Taylor's ledger were sufficient, even if the latter point is hard to see on the field. Maybe a lesson was taken from the Woodson situation. When you look at what Oakland paid him, how he played there, and how Jennings played for the Packers, perhaps it was concluded that a little more kvetching should be tolerated at least until you get a better look at the "who else ya' got?" alternative. If Sitton's cap cost was $2 million, it might have been a different story, as that would have been a big fat check mark in the positive column rather than a negative in light of the FA class coming up.
