Mailing it in is a strong statement. I like to believe alot of players play with pride and are very competitive no matter the situation. What I do know from this board is that Haslett was a big reason why Fletch almost didn't come back and Haslett also had run ins with Zo and Wilson. These are only ones we know about. I don't think too many guys are going to risk their job complaining about Shanahan with his 5 year contract but my point is this. Fletch is very much respected on this team. Moreso than Haslett I'm sure. I can't imagine him ever mailing it in but how much ethusiasm and conviction can the guy play with when he doesn't even believe in what his coach is doing? Lot's of players young or not look to him as an example and it's surely no secret how he feels about Haslett. It's bound to affect your play or at least your energy level to some degree. I would imagine Mike has lost some of the team also. He hasn't really made a difference in the standings in 2 and 1/2 years. I love football...always have...but losing takes it's toll on anyone. Mike was excited about this team before the season started. Now we have some injuries and we're not very good. I thought he was excited about the depth he'd built.

Wtf is it and why can't we win with it Shanahan?
