Shut my mouth and smack my head.  Why aren't players good enough?  Because the front office drafts poorly.  Because the front office signs the wrong FA's.  Because the front office hires the wrong coaches.

Teams are bad because the front office is bad.  In the Bengals case which is easier to fix, the front office or the players?  How long has MB been in the front office with his relatives running the show?

I'd like to think there is a happy medium, that also involves the HC and asst. coaches.

The players may not be Pro Bowlers, however, I believe they could be better than what they are. They aren't made to be the players they could be.

I believe they have to be MADE to be good. Remember, these guys aren't playing for the love of the game. They are being paid, and will do just enough to receive each game check.

Therefore, I think its up to the coaches to demand that every play in practice is done no less than 85% from each player. Nobody gets away with anything less. Games, nothing less than 95-100%. Coaches can't be afraid of pulling underachieving players and getting in there faces and DEMANDING perfection.

My Dad always told me:"You'll play the way you practice"

I don't know about anybody else. But when I watch practices in Training Camp, I don't get a sense of urgency and perfection at all. I get the feeling that they're trying to get as many reps as they can in before the buzzer.

Quanity over quality...
