I agree that they have an individual responsibility to play hard no matter how good a speech the coach gives, but even at a pro level, it's still a team sport, and we've seen many times how a locker room sticking together and believing in each other or not makes a huge difference. It's not all about x's and o's, to me having guys play hard and buying into what they're being told to do is a big part of a coach's job. No matter the $ every one is getting paid.
