The truth is, that none of us know who is running this shit show of a franchise right now. For all we know Carlie has been pulling the puppet strings for 2 years, or maybe it was Jim, or Ballard. Maybe Steichen is getting mixed messages from all of these fools, hence his blundering of everything media related.
All of them have their faults and culpability in this. It's impossible top know, who is most responsible, and to what extent.
That is why I choose to blame players more often than not, because we can see with our own eyes when they are not giving effort, execution and a basic awareness of football intelligence.
JT is my whipping boy in so much of this. He is PFF's lowest rated RB in the league, with lowest amount of yards after contact. He can't block, he can't catch, and he can't think (at least on the football field). That man is a fraud!
There are others though, Blackmon, Speed, Mitchell, AR, Flacco and to a lesser extent, Franklin, who just don't give a shit.
I'll never blame a player for just not being physically, big enough, strong enough or fast enough. But I will blame them for lack of effort, stupidity and lack of improvement.
Give me a team of guys like Jaylon Jones, Pittman, Pierce, Nelson, Moore, Raimann, Fries and Big Grove.
I will say this against Steichen though, WTF is up with 8 captains. WHY...WTF, which of those 8 voices to players look to? Do not use the excuse that, it was a players vote either. Your dumbass decided how many captains we would have.
