Quote:It is a huge problem.   Cause goes against toughness and will to win Coughlin has preached all offseason.   It is a mixed signal to the locker room as well.

if it was his coaches decision, that actually would help his case with Coughlin.  He wants tough hard nosed players but he also wants leaders of men who will lead their peers but also follow the instructions of their Coach/Leaders.  If he would've went against the coaches decision then it will be cause for concern since he puts self above team regardless of who says otherwise.
