Right now its appearing like talking heads are in charge and the need for loyalty etc. But Mike is in charge and he is taking a no nonsense approach. And JJ is getting a lot of heat for the way the team has fallen and not lived up to its potential.
Maybe Mike has brought JJ back to the realization that this is the NFL and not raw raw football anymore and the need to Get Down to Business.
Can there be any doubt but that Jerrah wants change.
And that part of the change is clearly Big Mike?
Some want Mike to be an evangelical coach to right everything Garrett did wrong.
That's a long list.
McCarthy has been sending out messages subtly since taking over. Some not so subtle.
People allude to the fact Big Mike likes this type of QB and this sort of offense or defense or STs.
Firstly I would imagine he likes QBs who are not on strike or refusing to attend online coaching classes.
Dak is not that for him. Can you imagine owning and running a company who has a key employee who refuses to work?
And you have 52 other employees being pay over $200 mil to also work but can't really work as well becuz the key employee has an attendance problem voluntarily?
Big Mike has to do something becuz the Jones need help breaking the impasse.
Andy Dalton..welcome.
Dalton is the perfect answer. He wants a second chance. He is a prime example of putting all the chips in one basket and coming up snake eyes.
Is it Dalton's fault their talent as Bengals was not enough or the coaching had limits?
No..it just was. Sometimes luck just factors in.
So we will all watch this unfold and take our Pepcid and hope.
