No team can ever put players on the filed that are not trying as hard as possible to win. Especially in football where these guys are literally putting their bodies and health on the line.
So the only way to tank is to play back ups. In order to do this you either have to trade away starters or bench them for minor injuries.
I think Taylor began to lose the locker room last year when he benched Dalton for Finley. Vets who were putting the bodies on the line to play were probably pissed off that the coach was not giving them a chance to win.
