Has ZT become too much of a players coach?

That being said, is it time for ZT to stop being such a players coach?

There was an interview with Joe yesterday where Joe was talking about how he needs to be more of a "vocal" leader, hold people accountable, etc. Why shold that fall on the QB? We ask Joe to do enough already. Holding people accountable, being the "vocal leader", etc. should come from the head coach IMO.

I think one of ZT's charms is that he IS a players coach, but maybe he's become a little TOO much of a players coach. Things seem to be getting a bit lax. Maybe it's time to light some fires and not rely on your QB to do it.

I agree with your overall sentiment....but you also need guys in the locker room to echo the coaches' sentiments, and kinda police things internally. I think Joe has been a largely lead by example kinda guy based on what he's said. They likely had a discussion about him being a bit more vocal as well. Think Tom Brady ......
