Today's athletes are just different. I won't pretend to understand them, but there are numerous examples of coaches that have little to no emotion or reputation as strict disciplinarians that have very strong, passionate teams.
I look more at the team. I think Burrow is winning over guys on offense. Tyler Boyd looks like he wants to fight people to protect Burrow. It may take time, but I haven't seen the line have that kind of passion at all.
The defense, however, needs a Ray Lewis. Someone who knows the defensive responsibilities of every player, and holds them to it. I guy that works tirelessly in the gym and the film room. I have high hopes that a guy like Logan Wilson or ADG becomes that type of player, but we really don't have time to wait for it to develop. I am looking at Vonn Bell. I am hoping he starts becoming more vocal and starts getting some opportunities to rush the passer.
We need a guy on defense that loves to cut players in half.
A guy that a offense that has to have his head on a swivel to look out for.
A defensive game changer. Someone whos play is infectious.
A player half Thurman and half Burfuct.
I recall years ago Chris Ogybonga ( sp) of the Browns took a flare pass at about the 26 yd and Vontaze just cut him in 2.
Picked.the ball up and ran it back. It fired.up the whole defense.
