I mean I get that Earl is intense and he's a dawg and all, but isn't he a little old to be doing some of the stuff he's doing?
It''s good to be intense and fiery and have an alpha male demeanor but if you're the leader, and if you're a true leader, you also have
to have to be a calming influence.
When the defense goes thru a rough start,..is going thru a rough half ...or is going thru a collapse at game's end that jeopardizes
their chance to win,.. then it's that time when a true leader has to emerge as a leader.
Presents his presence that settles and stabilizes his teammates - and he knows the best way(s) to go about correcting and rallying
his teammates in an attempt to get them to respond. How he translate communication and authority is a big key.
Remember Sean Lee rallying teammates on sideline vs Detroit Lions in 2016?
And note how the Ravens did not send home the other DB (Chuck Clark?) that was mentioned in the clash .. it was just Earl Thomas.
So does that tell me that not only did Earl clash with the teammate,.. but did he also clash with the coaches as well ?
