I'm probably being harsh but his demeanor at certain points last year is a concern. Sometimes his passion clouds his judgment. The same can be said for Burflict.
Here's hoping to they learned their lesson.
His personality and influence off the field is on the other players. They are all grown men and should know how to conduct themselves in an acceptable manner.
His personality in the locker room and on the field is all that matters, because he's a winner and knows what it takes. Yes, the emotional penalties and fouls are costly and ALL the players need to be aware of that just as he's aware of it here in a recent quote of his;
“You go back and look at the game, we’re not losing the game because of what Coach Lewis did. The games we lost are because we either made dumb-ass mistakes or flags . . . It’s never been conditioning … I’m trying to think of when I’ve seen us play and we were just really tired. I can’t, I can’t recall that one.”
