I 100% agree. We need leaders and not pouters. I don’t want to sound like I’m bashing Micah but 2 things happened that completely soured me on him. One was the Netflix special that showed after the Green Bay game Jerry hugged Micah and told him it wasn’t his fault. Um excuse me, yes it his fault as well as the rest of the players on defense (and offense). Did Reggie White, LT, Haley, Bruce Smith ever need a hug from the GM after a playoff loss? Cmon. Where’s the mental toughness. Where’s the “I’m ticked off and won’t rest until we win again” attitude that “generational players have. Then him taking a nap did it for, that was the 2nd thing. Diggs confronting a reporter for a tweet he tweeted showing Diggs not trying hard. Again, where’s the mental toughness?
I know it’s a part of the soft culture that Jerry has established but mentally these guys were soft on defense during our 12 win seasons. They pouted a lot. More concerned with stats and contracts than winning.
That’s why I’m hoping we get a coach that is the face of the defense.
