He has gotten out of control since Guenther took over. The leg twisting, head hits, etc. happened after Zimmer left.
When I watched the highlights on "Inside the NFL", I was really surprised. Marvin was in his ear a lot... telling him he needed to keep his cool, that he needed to maintain composure, that the team needed him to be focused. It really looked like there is a great deal of effort put forth to keep him in line. I agree that he probably needs more of a hard ass rather than a "player's coach".
I also wonder how much of it has to do with him getting the big contract. As an UDFA, he was not getting paid much and knew he had to try to put his college reputation behind him if he ever wanted the big payday. I really think this is just who he is... great player, physically gifted, but is also going to do boneheaded things.
