Dennis vs Werder

[malbis030347]

someone else on this site mentioned that Steve Dennis is this year's Ed Werder..sounded funny but this year it MAY actually work out in our favor. Last year Werder's comments served to make players in the locker room suspect of each other and take sides in the for TO/against TO debate, Dennis's comments have served to rally the entire team around Wade, almost a 'win one for the Gipper' this Sunday
now.... if we go out there and stink up the joint Sunday I would believe that maybe this bunch just doesn't get it the way some teams seem to know how to come together as a group and play all out after something like this comes up..look at how the Packers and maybe even the Giants are able to work around all the obstacles and find ways to win
I want us to be like that for a change

I have to defend Dennis a tiny bit... I listen to him every week, and for the most part I think he does a pretty good job. He's basically unbiased from what I've seen. Oh, he's biased towards certain players -- he loved (still loves?) TO -- and he has strong opinions on what he thinks will happen to the team, but I don't think he actively roots for a train wreck. I get the feeling he does his job and doesn't care much one way or the other what happens. He just got exasperated with Wade in this case and went way too far.

Werder, on the other hand, I think hopes for a disaster and wouldn't hesitate one second in helping create one.

In fact, haven't seen this yet, but I was listening to Irvin at lunch, and he said Werder was yelling at a group apparently in the back corner of the locker room -- Hamlin and a couple others -- for not speaking to the media like they're supposed to. Even Irvin said it was with a tone of, "If you don't talk, I'm going to get you sooner or later."
