Quote:I'll say one last thing in the spirit of coming closer to agreement here and then move on.

 

Bradley's failure was frustrating enough to this fan base to cause many reactions and plenty of anger. His failure was even great enough that I don't mind some players speaking out against his culture or their misuse. Normally I'd frown on that stuff.  But Bradley's failure makes me more understanding of it in this instance.  

 

Not faulting guys like Beachum, Gipson and Ramsey for being outspoken and/or throwing staff under the bus is one thing. I can get that. 

 

Faulting another player for being an ideal "team player" and taking the high road with the media is just misplaced anger on your part, IMO.  

Hope you get my last paragraph. Edited it while you were typing this up I assume.

 

I guess I just don't like seeing guys that just fall into place, especially veterans. I like to see some fire in players. You generally see that in the great teams. They continue losing/not being successful? They speak up about it and rally the troops. Obviously we don't see things behind closed doors and Poz is well respected, but he's never been on a winning roster and it just doesn't seem to me like he has brought/brings what I describe above. If he has, then I guess I'm wrong. 

 

This doesn't mean that he is accepting how we've played or isn't [BAD WORD REMOVED] when we lose. But I don't like the way he has talked about Gus.Like I said, zero problems with him defending him, but the "atmosphere" comments he has made time and time again will always rub me the wrong way. I just don't see that changing. It's been talked about since Gus got here, but you see these same veterans come out and speak about how it's different and obviously isn't a way to win in this league after the season/sometimes even during the season. 

 

Skuta literally just came out and said the same thing now too.

 

Edit: This doesn't mean I hate Poz or think he's a bad player to have here, but I'm sure as heck happy to see players take a different approach than Poz has consistently done. Like I said, has nothing to do with him liking Gus. If it was, Bortles and co. have been plenty supportive right up until the end too.
