Was Kris Jenkins right last year?

[charlottenian]

He wasn't injured enough to miss any starts...

the topic was not about his play but about how there is disruption in the locker room....

[rayzor]

he was part of the problem in the lockerroom.

the team got rid of most of the people who were holding them back last year.

peppers was another part and he will be gone soon.

everyone else wants to be here and win.

It would be naive to think that only two players have a problem. The others just dont have the status to speak out. Our two most decorated players feel that they can thrive elsewhere, to me that speaks loud and clear.

We seem to be getting new guys in our Defense and this is prob why. Any player can speak out but both Jenk and Pep are guys with great talent but dont have the Drive to use it when the cards are down.

sorry but i think it is just as ignorant to believe that they are emblematic of the whole team.

if you are watching, the dynamic of the whole team is changing and they have been either removing or allowing those whose attitudes were holding the team back.

the team changed significantly from 2007 to 2008 and with the new blood that came in was a lot of optimism. the whole team is changing on a dynamic level. the personality of the team is changing. the players are no longer apathetic or disgruntled. just because peppers is doesn't mean the rest of the team is. the team was happy for the season and impassioned. it wasn't faked. the team had a spirit that hadn't been seen for years. if you were there at training camp you could tell that there was an excitement about this team just because it fell apart at the end doesn't mean it is the end of the team.

Well one thing's for sure now. This defense BELONGS to John Beason.

Anyone have a problem with that?

nope

[stankowalski]

I never labeled Jenkins anything, and yes it appears he was right. Now we get to lose Peppers and have the Tyler Brayton Experience to look forward to next year.

I may cancel my NFL Sunday Ticket, which I've had for years now.

Yeah, I do!!!

He doesn't have an 'H' in his first name. As someone who spells their name similarly, it pains me to watch people turn the name into the same spelling as a toilet....

Btw, it was great to meetcha at the tailgate Cyber! :cheers2:

Jenkins wanted a motivated aggresive defense

Peppers also wants AGGRESIVE defense

One has to wonder if Peppers has not talked to Jenkins about the aggresive

3-4 defense and playing in large market .

[Fox007]

Oh now we're saying beason this and beason that.........

Just wait till Fox drains beason too..........

[bleys]

The locker room was one of the best in the league. There may have been 1 or 2 teams with a better or equal locker room environment as we had. The chemistry was tight.

So no... You're wrong.

Although, I don't doubt Peppers is tired of the same schemes. As we all are. But your point is dismissed by our locker room being the tightest it's ever been. Obviously, they are behind Fox.

I mean, how are you going to sit here and talk about Pep wanting an aggressive defense when the dude is known for not having "that drive"... There are quite a few players on defense who bring that aggressive attitude. Put smitty's heart into him and he's the greatest to step onto the field, prob'ly ever.

[goodlay]

Regardless if he was right, I don't exactly miss the guy.

[bleys]

those saying our players can't speak out about our locker room environment have not been reading the articles put out by writers speaking on how sound and unified that locker room was this past year.

Discount it all ya want, you're wrong. =P

If ya do go that route, apparently our players were only putting on a show... for instance, when Stewart or DWill scored a touchdown, Beason's first interception (huge celebration off the field when that happened), we can even go back to Smitty and Luc becoming best friends (as one writer spoke on)... A few players during the Giants game all giving that "SHHH" finger during the game. (Meaning, they were all on the same page) Or how about that shirt they all wore, (paraphrasing here, "I protect my brother"... forget what it said)..

Unified...

However, that doesn't mean Trgo doesn't need to go, cause he does...
