I think culture is one of the biggest problems this team has. They’ve got like one or two actual dudes on the roster.
The rest is posers like Franklin, JT, and AR.
That’s my biggest problem with Ballard. The lack of culture is completely his fault.

No doubt QB play was an issue this year, but I think the D across the board was a bigger factor in us missing the playoffs. We scored 33 and 34 points respectively in the NYG and Jagoffs losses, which is more than enough to have won comfortably if our D had actually shown up. Shit, we could have given up double NYG's average ppg and still won w/ 33 points.
Fully agree on culture. Way too many turds on this roster that are more worried about things like talking shit on podcasts instead of winning football games. I seriously doubt he does it, but Ballard really needs to send the top d-bags packing and bring in some well respected vets from winning franchises to turn the locker room around (Cory Redding/Cornelius Bennett type signings).
