I will give you names. AJ Green and Carlos Dunlap. They cared more about themselves and future contracts then putting it all out there to win.
Go back and watch game tapes of his effort. Remember the play where pass was intercepted and the guy ran right by AJ and he made no attempt (effort) to tackle him. He later apologized for his effort. That is contagious. Carlos Dunlap is on record saying he sometimes makes a business decision on the field about his effort. That was not just under Taylor as M Lewis had problems keeping him motivated as well. I don't know if that lack of effort rubbed off on Geno but the last 2 years of him was more than I could stomach to watch. Maybe he was playing injured or maybe he learned from Carlos to make business decisions on the field. His production really dropped off. Those guys are gone now.
I could not find 2019 OTA Attendance but did see that 2 guys, Carlos Dunlap and Dre Kirkpatrick missed the 2018 OTA's . Shocker.
That is more than lack of effort in my book that is a cancer in the locker room. That is why Taylor knew he needed to change the culture. First draft class he went after captains of their teams next draft class he went after high motor guys. Lets hope that is enough to change the culture and get some winning going on here with his franchise. So far I like what I hear from the players but as they say I see better than I hear.
