ThurmasThoman Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) This team is out of control: http://espn.go.com/n...lack-discipline completely dressed down Hughes in front of the team. Wow. wow wow wow wow wow. "Marrone lined players up on one sideline and ripped into them for fighting. At one point, defensive end Jerry Hughes talked back to Marrone, leading to more shouting from Marrone in Hughes' direction, questioning him about whether he wanted to stay on the team. Players then ran sprints across the field in an apparent act of discipline. Looking directly at Hughes, Marrone used several profanities in telling the player to stop complaining. "Why can't you handle it as players?" Marrone yelled. He then motioned toward the locker room and said: "Do you want to play on this team?" Once again looking at Hughes, Marrone said: "If you've got a problem with me, you need to come and tell me."" Season appears to be spiraling out of control and it's not even week 3... OF THE PRESEASON!!! truly unbelievable. Can't remember things being this much of a train wreck since we fired our OC (can't even remember his name now, AVP?) before week 1 of the 09 season, then promptly had our hearts ripped out by new england week 1 on mnf. coincidently that season, we lost the hall of fame game, won our second preseason game, and then spiraled out of control for the final 3 preseason contests, with the offense looking terrible--blanked in the second to last preseason game, which led to the dismissal of the oc. things are looking eerily similar--but come all ye faithful, tell me why we're going to go 11-5 this year. actually, I'm going to adjust my win prediction from 4-12 to 2-14 right now. offense: can't score any points defense: lost it's 2 best players and only coordinator to have us playing good on that side of the ball since fewel special teams: worst in the year last year, retained the coach, thinking about keeping a kick off specialist? overall team: hates the coaching staff now, and must be wondering when the hell they can get out of buffalo, know marrone is a lame duck coach soon to be replaced by new owner, and their spot on the team is not a given. train wreck city boys--train wreck city.

Kirby Jackson Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Without overreacting too much it seems like the staff is losing some of these guys a little bit. They can downplay it all they want but this camp seems to have been too long and too physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent 91 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I don't even know what to make of it. I would have to know why Hughes was singled out. What did he say? Marrone needs to ask himself does he want to be in this team. He looks a little but like a misguided hot head now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThurmasThoman Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Who cares? Good for Marrone, make them run! its not the 70s anymore buddy. these guys have been pampered since little lad. the fact that hughes was making cat calls on the sideline yesterday (because they've been in pads for 3 weeks), and then had the balls to call out marrone in front of the entire team (after marrone made them do sprints to really teach them a lesson), tells me all i need to know. no one on the team respects this coaching staff. from the wet behind the ears OC who has yet to call a drive resulting in a touchdown through 3 games of preseason action with the starters, to dougie himself, of the illustrious .500 lifetime record at syracuse university and terrible in game decisions. the entire team knows hes a lame duck coach who pegula will kick to the curb for schwartz, possibly before thanksgiving. what an absolute dissaster. this could be ugly saturday night, this team might have quit before week 1. this is going to be an awful season--i just hope it's spectacularly bad so it can be blown to high hell and a true rebuild can begin. im talking bye bye russ, litmann, overdorf, whaley. EVERYONE. i made a thread awhile back saying i hope we finish 0-16. i stand by it. anyone who thinks this team has the ability to finish any better than 4-12 should take a long, hard look at what's in front of them. what an absolute embarrassment of a team.

HeHateMe Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Meh what other power does Marrone have with the players besides forcing them to run... He had enough of the fighting and sent a message. Don't have a real issue with it... and "lost the team?" Please.. these guys are out there every day jacked up trying to make the roster, emotions run hot. Not a big deal.

dave mcbride Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) How much of this is a product of bringing in Jim Schwartz? When he was with Tennessee, the Titans' defensive players were notorious for a) getting into vicious fights in camp; and b) playing some of the dirtiest defense in the league. That continued with the Lions too. Haynesworth was a borderline psychopath during camps and preseason, if I recall correctly, and Suh's actions speak for themselves. Bear in mind that the dirtiest DB in the league, Cortland Finnegan, came through that system too. His first season was in 2006 with the Titans.

Jauronimo Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 The only way to get people who crack each other's skulls open for money to act like civilized adults and play nice is to go 0-16.

Just about every team in the NFL has had skirmishes, fights in camp this year... Stop over-reacting it is getting unbearable. And hughes said something stupid on the sidelines so what... he is a football player, these guys are not CEOs of major companies here. They are not exactly the most intelligent people in the world which is why they run into each other for a living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
