I had the pitchforks out for Lou as much as anyone. Time will tell if the decision to fire him was correct or merely an out for Zac to defend a disappointing season. A blood sacrifice was in order, and Lou was the most obvious.
With that in mind, there have been rumors about certain defensive players and a lack of professionalism. Battle, who showed promise, struggled to get snaps early on. Many gave Lou a ration of shit for this. Now, I'm hearing that Battle came to camp significantly overweight and slow. Not Bell and Lou favoritism. Not Lou being stuck in is ways about veterans and youth. It was a player coming in fat. That's as unprofessional as it gets if true.
CTB, oddly regressed after playing well as a rookie and in his second year. Mental lapses killed him. Lately, there have been hints that he'd embraced more of a party lifestyle this year and that it impacts this play. It's weird to me considering what a good kid he has always appeared to be.
You don't hear this stuff about Joe, Ja'marr or Tee. Or Trey. You hear about guys that shut their families out on Saturday to get focused on gameday. Obsessive professionals.
I think there may have been a bigger cultural lapse than we realize this year. These guys are scapegoats, but how many others did similar things if true?
