Truthfully, I wouldn’t allow different standards (I don’t in my profession and we’re 108 years strong, that’s longer than the NFL has been around) In certain situations, I would’ve set that standard early and often if you want to be on a winning team, you’ve got to be disciplined. I wouldn’t capitulate to a fans perspective. I wouldn’t wait until mini camp to have a conversation. I’d tell my players there will be an occasional season I ask more. If you don’t show up to my more? Don’t come to work we’re not here to cater to individualism. I would’ve reiterated that again just before making each contract offer, just so everyone was on the same page. Individual Feelings are going to get hurt, that’s part of team discipline.I just don't understand using different standards for players on the same team.
I agree with #26 of our last SB team.. when asked what he appreciated most about Ted Thompson? He said for not trying to be a people pleaser. Bill B. And Vince L. And Brian Gutenkunst and TT are/ were not people pleasers and it seems to work just fine.
