[QUOTE="IPBprez, post: 23878, member: 51"] Sounds to me like the Players have taken on an air of - "It's not "my" responsibility - you ain't blamin' me" approach.... And by that, I mean as LEADERS... like myself as the guy in charge (so to speak) of the IPB Club.. I get both sides of the ball - people glad hand me and then others see I'm doing everything wrong.... Truth is, those that are out to find fault are outright cowards to begin with or they'd be wearin' MY shoes already.. and they're NOT! In fact, they go "out of their way" to avoid even making the attempt, they even spend enormous amounts of energy in the avoidance... energy that "could" have been extemely more productive.... alll wasted and gone with nothing to show for it... Now, while that was just a mouthful, it remains the truth and that spirit of avoidance within the Team in finding someone "in the Locker Room" to be the next Reggie White is exactly what the cancer is in Green Bay right now... and what's more... the fans know it, see it and do not respect it. I wouldn't care if they had tandem leaders on both Offense and then Defense... just so that there is some semblence of a mission to be had, not just a "job" and that it's being treated like a "job"... I work in computers - I got a late mid-life turn to this vocation and I do pretty well at it - I even "like" what I'm doing and alot of times, I'll support someone in the public sector practically for free when I see it will give me a chance to teach myself something new... I like what I do and damn... I even get paid for it... Some people go thru their whole lives never finding that.... The Players have to remember WHY they became NFL Players... 1) Was it for the experience, because they luv football and now get paid for it? 2) Was it just for the million dollar paychecks and the party after the game (Freeman & Sharper) is more important than paying attention to what got ya here in the 1st place? Some people told me awhile back that one thing you DID NOT want to see was Antuan Edwards garage door being left wide open.... because it was "stacked" to the rafters with empty beer bottles in cases all over the garage.... I believe it and it showed with his depressed abilities out on the field. It could be we still have quite a few of those types of Players out there... One wonders.... Courage is what's needed here... that's all! [/QUOTE]
