Ramsey definitely has cut it back, so he isn't to blame for this game. It sits squarely on the coaches for allowing it now. Other players starting talking, got a big head, new players come in and see its allowed, and now it's out of control.

It's one thing if you can do it and control yourself, but clearly there are plenty on the team who cannot.

No, they don't want to address it. 

Maybe if Marrone started getting fined for his players stupidity he'd start taking care of business.

Here we go again. "Taking care of business". What does that even mean?

That's something that has to come from within, I'd say.

That taunting penalty especially - when the guys are in the film room reviewing the plays, guys like Calais need to tell the kids that shooting yourselves in the foot hurt the D, and set them up for failure. Ramsey may need to start dialing it back if he sees the younger guys feeding off his jawing, if they don't know where the line in the sand is drawn.

Coaches can say all they want about dumb choices killing a drive or giving the opposition a second chance, but if the guys don't buy in collectively, coaches will be wasting their breath.

Bingo. I don't think a coach can do more than be emphatic that it will not be tolerated. But that only goes so far. You still want your best players out there. You try and draft good players who do not have a reputation of being idiots or jerks.

Best of my knowledge Myles Jack has never been known for being an idiot or jerk.

Is there any chance of the league suspending Jack. He'll certainly be fined.
