The coaches "allowed" Ramsey to do what exactly? Be himself? They should ask (tell?) him to be someone else. Many (most) NFL players trash talk. It's part of football culture. I think some people find it distasteful but it is what it is and it's not going to change. Been to a high school game recently?

What are coaches to do about undisciplined play? I'm honestly asking. Coaches are paid to win games. We as fans want then to win. But do we want coaches to not play the best players if they screw up? And how much is too much? It seems as if coaches always have to walk a fine line between coming across as firm/tough guy and trying to be able to play the best players and win games.

Antonio Brown being the far extreme to the issue.

The solution is easy, ban it. You want to celebrate the play you made, great, but don't stand over a player, don't talk to the player you just hit, etc. Do some stupid dance, flex, celebrate with teammates, etc. Why do you need to trash talk a player on the ground?

Compromise would be once you cost the team, you lose social media and trash talking privileges. This isn't a 1 on 1 game, players actions affect the whole team. Good teams don't have distractions and once you become a distraction, you hurt the team.

Ramsey controls his emotions for the most part (he has lost it a few times though) but others on the team cannot do both. They talk and then cost the team yards. LF, Harrison, Bouye, Jack, Robinson, Ngakoue, and more have cost this team yards. They need to stop all the talking and focus on playing on the field first. They want to talk before they actually make plays.

If they can't do that, they need to be gone.

Gene Smith is that you?  I kid..  the modern age of football doesn't allow you to be an ideologic person.  You tie up money in people you are really in a bind to them and it limits what you can do.  We have managed our cap well but haven't developed talent well.  We have acquired talented players and then handcuffed them to a historically bad offense and it is all brewing in this big pot of disappointment.  You think us fans are disappointed from yesterday, imagine being an overpaid player on this team.
