Will MLF have the support of the locker room?


Recommended Posts

I suspect not all of those players will speak freely. I think gWilson will and possibly Moore and even Mims. Zwilson? His head has been twisted around so much he’s like the girl in the exorcist. Milf and lafleur have really laid a ton of blame at his feet. Some is justified, just not all.

Part of me wants to play devils advocate and say, how do you expect the guy to win with a possible historic bust at qb who cant throw a screen pass, a walking bag of bones who should've retied already, and a journeyman 5th round pick?

How is it my fault laken tomlinson didn't make a single block all year, becton is fat at camp and we had historic injuries at oline?

I assume he gets fired, but a lot of this is scapegoating him.

Why would you give an OC who sucked with three QBs two more QBs? 

I don't agree that there were "historic injuries" but even if true, why continue with an OC who didn't try to counteract those injuries with adding blockers or play action?

When the OL fell off a cliff why continue to run up the middle every series?

Why were players forced into positions that didn't fit their skills?

Why did almost every player and position get worse with time under LaFleur?

LaFleur may not have much of a role to play in the roster or much ability to minimize injuries but it is his job to come up with solutions to problems.

MLF shouldn't be fired. Zach should be fired.

MLF isnt a player so the player support doesnt really matter

Belief matters. If players do not believe in a coach there is no buy in. Without that, you just have a guy calling plays for a bunch of guys who have no belief the play call will work. And guess what the result of that looks like?

MLF has a future in the NFL, but this job was too big for him.  He could not evolve his schemes once teams had film, and his development of the QB and skill position players was very poor.   I think there is a good offensive mind there.  Something has to change with the Jets’ offensive staff.

We often hear coaches get fired when the team quits on them...

Player support (and player respect) does matter.

Yep- of course it does.  It only doesn’t matter much when the results are there.

When the results aren’t there, good leaders need to critically listen and evaluate.

Do we have good leaders?  I have confidence listening to Joe Douglas.  I don’t when listening to Saleh.  But proof will be in the pudding.

The player support for MLF might be that deciding factor.
