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.

From my experience being both an individual contributor and manager in my professional career, it does help to have an individual contributor help.
A peer team member can sometimes help drive something that just doesn't hit the same if it comes from a manager/executive alone.

I agree that the coach/manager should also do that though. It shouldn't fall solely on one individual on the team, manager or peer.
