GREAT point.

And to all this losing the locker room thing, veteran players need to have a meeting with Zorn this week, air whatever frustrations they have, get on the same page as Zorn and the coaches, then go back to the rank and file and tell them to STFU and get with the program....especially Portis, very good back, but I've had about enough of his mouth on the JT show and elsewhere. Get a thicker skin and stop being a baby. He needs to take a look at the number of zeros on his paycheck, shut up and just make plays. We don't need anymore drama at this point.

EXCELLENT POST!!!

Pretty good stuff from Boswell's article:

There's a world of difference between a coach who never tells a lie (Gibbs) and a coach who gives himself the prerogative to tell the truth (Zorn). The first illustrates character. The second borders on being foolhardy.

Long ago, Walter Lippmann wrote, "The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully."

A little more common sense, and a little less self-indulgent honesty, might have prevented it.
