For all of the talk about how much of a "leader" Jamal Adams is, I wonder if his teammates actually respect and/or even like him. I bring this up because a few weeks ago Jamal Adams sent this tweet: And because I'm a salty pr*ck, I sent this (critical) tweet to Jamal in response: And wouldn't you know it....a current NFL player, and several former LSU teammates of Jamal Adams, added me to a private group on Twitter to say, and I quote, "thank you for your service." They continued, "we saw your tweet, and wanted to like/retweet it because we all feel the same way as you....but we couldn't do that publicly, for obvious reasons...but nonetheless, we wanted to add you to this group to say thank you for your service!" These were his former teammates at LSU, for god's sake...I'm not sure what that says about Jamal Adams' likability in the locker room, but it's not exactly a ringing endorsement. Just as you did for the first two tweets, can you please post a screen cap of the private group where someone said to you: “thank you for your service”? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 So, say you work next to a guy. He’s young. He was sold to your company by a recruiter and pocketed a huge signing bonus. This guy— —Is loud, constantly running his mouth, incessantly talking about how good he is at the job you all do, but —Despite his claims, he’s had absolutely no impact on the bottom line. In fact, the company has performed worse since he was hired. —But, the company is moribund and lacks curb appeal, so the company makes this non-performing, loud goofball the statutory face of the organization, except he’s never asked to bear any responsibility for the company’s failings. —The trade media, desperate for content, opts to play along and labels this guy as your “best” employee. —For the second year in a row since he’s been hired and, now, anointed, the morale in the company is declining to the point where the organization has straight-up quit. Your organization has gone 1-7, combined, in the final quarter of the past two fiscal years. —Despite the quitting, this very loud employee starts referring to himself as “The CEO,” declaring himself the de facto leader of your company. —Literally no one else has ever referred to this person as “The CEO” in your presence, but the company website splashes his picture on the marquis with the graphic “THE CEO” underneath. —After the second consecutive year of bankrupt performance, this loud, underperforming, low-impact, self-promoting new hire declares to a trade publication that the company needs “more dawgs,” explicitly saying that it’s *your fault* that the company has gotten worse since this new hire was put on the payroll.

Question: as a coworker of this gentleman, what are your feelings toward someone like that? I'm telling you, if not for LUCKING into Sammy D., I think I'd truly be a menace to society, because every time I hear Adams getting overly loud I just think about Mahomes being the Jet QB, but thankfully I don't really have those bad feelings anymore. Adams is a very good player, no argument there, but he was not the right pick at that time, a QB was, for a QB starved team. He was the kind of pick that a guy scared for his job makes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixhead Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Don't give away your secrets Jamal! You know Bill Belicheat has someone watching that video. Belicheat will devise a play that looks exactly the same as that one with the guard pulling and even have the guard light on his hands to signal he's pulling but then BB will trick Adams and it will be a totally different play - just be careful. Belicheat is always watching and waiting for the perfect moment to spring a trap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really good stuff is when Adams can use his aggressive tendencies to let the offense think they are setting him up and do something totally different. Mind games and chess man. Great coaching can take a guy with his willingness to learn and refine him to perfection. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Spot on as football is nothing but a game of chess between two guys playing with biological pieces.
