Mark May was asked about the current teams struggles,he says a lot of it is attitude.Seems like a lot of ex redskins talk about how sorry the attitude is around the Redskins,I dont know if its sour grapes or its true.I know something is not right,something needs to be done to change the culture around redskin park,I dont know if a new coach can do that or not.This is what he said:

I think we just need an adjustment in attitude... Some of the things that they're doing are just unacceptable. You're not breaking down the ball defensively, you're not closing until the end, you're not giving 100 percent. You can tackle a guy on the five instead of giving up on the ten and letting him go score a touchdown. Under Richie Petitbon, you wouldn't be in the game.

And the way I see some of their linemen, whey they block, they give up the end of the play instead of running down the field and helping out the running back or wide receiver another eight or ten yards down the field. Picking off bodies in the pile ‘cause they've got eight, nine defenders knocking your running back around. Get somebody. It's just an attitude that they just don't have anymore.

Maybe it's just me being old and the game has changed, but we had the attitude that we protected one another and we did not give up on a play. And come heck or high water, you're gonna have to drag us off the field if you're going to beat us. You better be playing your best to beat us because we're not giving up. And I just got frustrated just watching the carelessness of their attitudes out there. Maybe I'm just from a different era because when we played, we didn't have that. Because we'd pull for one another.

And the thing is, if you were a dog, we knew before the coaches would. If they drafted a dog or signed one, we knew. And we got rid of him. Because we went out in practice and kicked your butt and proved to the coaches that you didn't belong. And they just need to have that attitude.
