How is that good for Jason? These guys aren't playing well and when late for a meeting, get rewarded with a day off and a "come back tomorrow". Not sure how that enforces any kind of rules or discipline.
I don't know if they got fined for conduct but even if there wasn't a fine getting sent home isn't a reward, there's a certain amount of pride involved even if it didn't cost them monetarily. Especially for Hill who is playing on a rookie contract. These guys usually play hard at least until they get the second contract.

yeh of course Garrett is going to send JAGs like Hill and Woods back home instead of appropriately fining them or have them run extra laps, instead of them being in the film room, and absorbed
into the game plan, - if that were Dlaw and Quinn showing late to practice, would they have received the same send home message ? :rolleyes:
Not singling you out personally but this line of thinking that sending a guy home isnt punishment is comes from 9-5 factory or shift work mentality.

In my profession and in pro sports being sent home is embarrassing and more than that it puts the players or employees future in jeopardy.

Too many people here looking for public lashings and blood.

In a profession that has a career span of about 3 years on average getting sent home is more impacting to the player than most can understand.

What was the real reason they were late?

No one here has ever been late to work for an unforeseen reason?

No kidding, back in the day this would have been dealt with very, very differently.
In what day?
And no it wouldnt.
It just wouldnt get covered on message boards.

Back in the day people were no tougher than they are today.

How does Rod Marinelli have a job?

Well, I'll say this. If Marinelli got fired tomorrow, I'd imagine that he would have a job by the next season or sooner, if he wanted one. However, I don't see how two guys showing up late is the fault of Marinelli. That one is going to take a little more explaining.

I remember Jimmy Johnson. On the plane home after losing a football game. Some of the players joking and laughing. They're lucky they didn't have parachutes

So they went home, smoked out, played video games, and ate Cheetos.

Way to show them.

And probably fine. I don't get it, you'll ask for accountability, then complain when it happens. They can't win with you'll

Disappointing that this would happen, especially after a bye week!

Obviously, Garrett is trying desperately to instill discipline.

Here's hoping it isn't far too late for that, by now!

This probably happened before.

This could just be a case of a guy getting a flat tire or something. Let's not immediately call them problems.

Lol. Abe you know we are gonna jump to conclusions.

Cell phones brother. I'm doubting very seriously that either of these guys get sent home if they have a tire go and they simply call in to let the team know that they had an flat. It's like I used to tell my kids. You may get in trouble but you ain't never gonna get in worse trouble then if you don't call us to let us know what's up.

Lol that's true most of the people taking shots at Garrett now also go on about the "country club" environment.
