calbear Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Practice against UNLV? Get Tony Robbins in the locker room? Send the team by helicopter into the bottom of the Grand Canyon and make them hike out? What would you do to try to build some sense of team pride and return a collectively-positive attitude to the field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The team needs a vision to rally around, even if it's an illusion. They need to believe that Chan has the maps to lead them out of this mess, which is why he can't go to the press conferences and constantly say that he doesn't know what happened or what to do but will try to figure it out. That doesn't inspire confidence. He needs to guess if he doesn't know and then act like he's SURE that's the way to improve (kind of like Buddy Nix does). The resulting increase in team focus and confidence will lead to some improvement even if he proves to be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Instill one of those "us against the world" things on 'em. "They think we suck and say we can't do it. We'll show 'em." Jocks go for this kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1B4IDie Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I would sit down with each and every member of the Defense in 1on 1 meetings. Look into their eyes and ask them if they want to win? Because judging by their play they don't seem to want to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect there may be some lack of confidence and respect with the coaches. Which obviously is then part of the problem. Then again if this truly is a "team" the criticism could go both ways in such a meeting. Get er done Nix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Bench who ever missed the most tackles and chandler for fumbling and arbiitrarily cut some stater. Call out mario on effort and put him on special teams. Put fitz on notice he will lose his job if his qb rating vs az is less than 100. If these guys aren't passionate enough to want a win and just consider this a job, put them on notice their job is on the line. They can string together any cast of free agents to achieve the last 2 weeks results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHan 1 on 1 with the players. yes a 1 on 1 assumes you can hear the player out. This is past the point of bravado and faux confidence. Chan needs to know who is really in it and committed and who is along for the ride. If the players lost confidence in Wanny's scheme that needs to come out to.

3rdand12 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Hookers and blow. Thats correct Tom. You obviously have a bit of insight into these matters. I would suggest that the Team would need proffesionals to watch over the "therapy".Along with you i consider myself a serious candidate for this vast undertaking. My resume is forthcoming. W why so serious is close. Lie detector tests given by scared straight inmates in the grand canyon sounds like great addition to getting the team back on track too. go bills! "If you were Chan" . . . CHan 1 on 1 with the players. yes a 1 on 1 assumes you can hear the player out. This is past the point of bravado and faux confidence. Chan needs to know who is really in it and committed and who is along for the ride. If the players lost confidence in Wanny's scheme that needs to come out to. yes sir. Exactly.

Geno Smith's Arm Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) "Hookers and Blow" is as good an answer as any I have heard. A chemically-induced false confidence, and a propped up of feeling of sexual prowess and desirability can go a long way, and I'm sure it has worked for some other teams. Really. Think Lawrence Taylor. It could turn Fitzpatrick into David Lee Roth., Edited October 9, 2012 by Geno Smith's Arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd find some practice squad or 3rd string guy asleep in a meeting and cut them. No word if Alvin Harper or Michael ever fell asleep in meetings after a rough night at the white house.

HOUSE Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Watch film of Ryan Fitzpatrick the last 5 games then count the missed WR's and INTS. Ask yourself, is this a franchise quarterback? If the answer is yes, resign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Anyone who screws up puts their numbers in a hat. Draw 1 number from the hat. Cut the player who's number was selected. That would add an element of accountability, fear and randomness. Sure it would kill morale but I don't think it can get much worse that it already is. But seriously players need to be held accountable and need to play with some type of desire and motivation Edited October 9, 2012 by drinkTHEkoolaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think lots of these guys wouldn't rather play somewhere else? Do you really think Mario Williams wouldn't mind being a free agent again?
