If he's going to playing over 50% then why doesn't take a midol and keep his mouth shut?

This now the 2nd time in the last few months he's come out publically complained about the team.  The first being when he decided to blast the team for not doing more for racial equality.

I'd suggest he'd be thankful he's making 11 million depsite having zero sacks this far, and try to focus on improving his play so his name is back atop the chart.  Until then, try being a little bit team player and at least keep your bitching to behind close doors.  Or better yet, don't ***** at all.

1.) They discussed this, at some level, in the offseason.  He mentions this in the video.  Apparently he had a conversation with his postion coach about it (moving to third down in some packages).

2.) They did just tell him, when they posted the depth chart.  Maybe the intended on having further discussions or a conversation with him later today. (We don't know)

3.) This is a one-sided, limited explanation of the situation, from a player that is clearly frustrated.  Kinda not fair to label the staff as being stupid or classless, without knowing the details or their side of the story.

4.) We have no clue what went all into this decision.  Maybe his effort has been poor, maybe this has been building and he's been made aware his role was in jeopardy of being changed.

5.) We don't know when this decison was finally made.  Some of you are saying they should have told him Tues or Weds.  Maybe they didn't know Tues or Weds.  Maybe they just had a meeting and decided this morning.

6.) Depth charts are a part of football, for every team and every player.  Posting them is not unique to us.

7.) The team didn't make this "public", Carlos did.  From the very begining of hsi interview he immediately brought it up.  Even the team's beat reporter didn't know.

To each their own, but this sounds like nothing but sour grapes to me.  And to air it out in the way he did seemed both pathetic and childish.  I've faulted Zac Taylor, Lou and Co. for many things.  But I can't believe so many are questioning a routine occurance in this game.  Guys occassionaly lose their spots, and the staff doesn't have to hold veteran's hands throughout the process and make sure their feeling aren't hurt.

I love Carlos but its time to do something different. Maybe this lights a fire under his butt.

You could play a guy for 1 snap and then take him out of the game for the rest of the game and he'd be the "starter." The important thing is number of snaps and, in that regard, Lawson needs as many as they can find for him.

Dunlap almost was traded last year from what I was told, I could see a team like Dallas or Seattle looking to add him before the deadline.

You take it for what it is and try to earn the start back. Complaining doesn't do anything but question the coaches judgement. However, since Carlos is from the Marvin era, it doesn't surprise me because Marvin was loyal to his vets even when they were not performing well. It's not a time to *****, it's a time to grind. We are 1-2-1 and Zac's going to do what he has to for this team to turn it around. If you want it back, put your phone down and go get it.
