SoCalFalconFan Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 keith brooking and warrick dunn are surprisingly "mum" on the whole gravy boat subject. could be because that's what real locker room leaders do. they line up behind the coaches and do their jobs. that's it. hall and crump and anyone else that is ######ing and moaning right now just needs to shut up and do their jobs!

falconva7 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 wasn't dunn saying that he was shocked or whatever by this move in the same article that had d. hall speaking out? and steve wyche has said that a lot of the players are on hall and crump's side.

SoCalFalconFan Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 maybe they will be gone, maybe they won't be. one can only hope that the young guys in that locker room are taking note on their behavior, and not all bug-eyed and looking up to the guys who are vocally opposing the coaches. it's going to be very hard for chemistry to develop if that's happening.

CraigSmackDaddy Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 dunn is probably gone, maybe a backup next year. how is norwood not starting?player att yds yds/att long td dunn 95 292 3.1 18 1 jerious 47 272 5.8 67 1 brooking is still having a solid season despite what some of you think. yeah, boley is having a good season but who do you think has the 2nd most tackles? and i do not want to hear that it's all assists. he is also 2nd on the team to boley in solo tackles. player tot solo assist boley 60 50 10 brooking 47 35 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggarcia Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 i see boley as the new leader of this team. i also get the feeling that both norwood and white will emerge as well. look, this team is bad now, it was bad last year and it was bad the year before that. what does this season have in common with the previous two seasons? not petrino. not vick. it is the rest of the players.....guys like dunn, mcclure, milloy, jackson. none of them have played above average. none of them could make other players better. crumpler is a very good te, but he feels that he should be featured like a wr or maybe like tony gonzalez. has crump ever had the stats to warrant that kind of attention? as a go-to "wr", crump is dismally mediocre. and let's not forget hall......the second coming of deion. you remember, the guy that lost a game for us this season. how do any of them have the rep to disagree with any head coach? with the likely cap problems that the vick situation has brought, this team will need to cut salaries. i don't think that was the reason for the grady cut. i think that grady was rubbing coaches the wrong way. they finally looked at trey lewis and decided that he could do as good a job as grady. and they probably think that stanley can handle the backup role. so, why keep a guy that you don't like? this decision may turn out to be a bad one, who knows? one thing is for sure, trey and montavious are younger than grady and both will certainly buy into their dc's game plan.i thought that the past offseason was interesting. this next one could be even bigger.
