Yeah, that is something probably should not try to do. Especially when they have an over abundance of imagination. If anything, Coles trying not to be a pain in the ass. That is why he said "I'm not saying anything", and why he is willing to back up his teammates. Maybe, maybe Mangini will rule with an iron fist that causes the team to mutiny. Maybe. Maybe he'll rule with an iron fist and they will play better because of it. At any rate, these guys have a job to do, and all the coddling in the world is not going to help them.
I'd like to see how Pats fans say their players react when camp breaks. I'm pretty sure they are happy as pigs in shit...
I've never been in the military,so the whole "running through the wall" thing is sort of foreign to me. But don't you think in order for the players to WANT to GO THROUGH that wall, the coach has to gain their trust and respect?
The veterans were saying the same thing about Coughlin a couple of years ago and now the Giants are a playoff team and I haven't heard a peep.
