What is it with this team and lippy DBs? Dantzler, Breeland, Boyd ... ?
Breeland on 10/10/21: "I’m convince yal love my Johnson in yal mouth enjoy the win and shut tf up"
This is the same team, guys. Same team! How's that for the culture change we needed?
In all seriousness, there needs to be consequences for this sort of thing. It's embarrassing to him, the team, and organization as a whole.
I like you Boyd, but YOU STFU! OR FIND A NEW TEAM!
Please don't mistake one guy not getting the message with your obvious devotion to Zimmer and his 'culture of fear.'
Culture is not brainwashing. Some guys buy into it. Some guys don't. The more that buy in the better. When Mike took over his hard-nosed style was what the Team needed. Hard to question that.
But over time that style started to grate. If you're the Patriots you get away with that. Just like Bama. Winning is the ultimate deodorant. Win you come up short, or start to stink, it doesn't gloss over how much that authoritarian style can start to turn players off.
On the flip side, collaboration, sunshine, positivity and whatever else you want to label O'Connell's culture as will lose its luster in the Locker Room if the Team is average or bad for an extended period of time.
And these are the polar extremes. Zimmer wasn't always Captain Tough Love every day, week or season. O'Connell isn't Mr. Happy Guy all the time. Leaders are humans. Their style can very depending on a zillion variables including how their evening went with their family the night before.
Players are also humans. Boyd may be buying into all the culture change and did the 'liquored up idiotic Kicker' thing that Manning so famously denounced. Or he may not have bought in at all.
Either way, it's a singular instance. And I highly doubt it's repeated.
... and neither is this Chris guy.
