This team lacks leadership (duh, right?)

[top dawg]

Where is all the indignation? Where is that person that gets in the faces of their teammates and tells them that they aren't doing their job? We really miss Jenks. I'm sorry guys, but our players are just too damned reserved. Everyone has become a Fox clone of sorts, spewing out that same ol' dry it-is-what-it-is philosophy. Who is the Ray Lewis of the bunch? THe team is too damned nice. We need someone to fire this team up from the coaches on down, and require some personal responsibility. The entire team is starting to get that Chris Carr, deer in the headlights, I'm lost mentality (even the veterans). Where is the outrage? Where is the fire? This monotone, robotic, company line ish is old. Someone needs to give every person in the the organizaiton a kick in the arse. There should be no smiles for the next 10 days because there is really nothing to smile about. Even Smitty seems to have been enveloped by the funk. Someone needs to take a cowbell and wake their arses up with some truth, and see if that doesn't get the season started in earnest.

I think Beason is that guy, but is being held back.

I agree that Beason has leadership quality but is a little young to have that Ray Lewis type effect on his teamates,though i expect it in the near future.

I used to think it was sort of humorous when I heard players spouting Foxisms, but now it's just disconcerting. I sincerely believe Fox's lack of passion has rubbed off on several players, and that a new face could do wonders for this franchise (and I've long been an advocate of Fox).

TD- if you are talking about through the media, than I am glad they aren't.

If you are talking about on the practice field or the sidelines or in the LR, I don't think we know exactly who is and isn't.

We dont miss Jenkins cause of leadership... the guy could play. But he was nothing of a leader, not even close.

The team is not lacking leadership. The team is lacking a guy to clog the middle, and to keep people off beason.

This lack of leadership talk and lack of passion on the part of Fox is down right funny. You can be passionate without screaming and spitting at your players.

It's hard to even log on here anymore because of this kind of bullshit.

We have leadership... we have no chemistry. Something last year squad had

I know, dude.

We have leadership and from all the fist pounding on the ground after giving up yards all night there was lots of frustration and fire. I kept hearing myself say that instead of fist pounding after giving up another pass or run, how about executing on the play and being where you are supposed to be. There were enough missed assignments for a season in the Dallas game alone.
