bubba9497 Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 If I was Spurrier, tomorrow I would call a meeting for everyone, players coaches, FO people, trainers..everyone. I would have a line in the middle of the room, everyone on the opposite side it too me. I would read the riot act to them, I would personally challenge them if they have the guts and hearts to be winners.Then I would give them a choice, those who want to give 100% to make the playoffs, no matter what, long hours, working on details, draining every ounce of sweat, every minute of the day to trying to win ballgames step across the line. But if you step across that line, and don't give 100 % percent, your ass is bench or gone. Win or lose we do it as a team, a team with heart or don't bother. I would explain I am no longer going to waste my time and effort on players who don't want to give maximum effort. If you don't cross the line, nothing will be said, and other arrangements will be made at the end of the season. once you cross that line, no more excuse tolerated, no one is off limits, no complaining, no negativity. If we go down we go down fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Spurrier need to grow a set. I wouldn't reem the entire team, but instead name names of who he doesn't think are putting their all into it. With three losses in a row, we don't have much to lose. Bench players, and go with some of the back up's. You can yell all you want, but when a guy knows he's gonna get paid no matter what he does on the field, it's hard to motivate them. If you make them look like a fool, the player (s) may get it in gear. Again, we don't have much to lose at this point. Spurrier blows off the hits that Pat is taking every week, and this could ruein his future. Play Johnson a bit, and tell the team you can have Pat back when you want to win, and protect him. Yes, this would take changes in schemes, but that's another subject which is being covered in other threads. Get some balls Steve, and kick some arse. You have nothing to lose but your job, which looks to be jeopardy anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 It will be hard for Norv to draw that line from the bunker on the 17th hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I don't think Spurrier is as tranquil as he seems. I think it takes quite a set of balls to call out your team in a press conference that will be in all the papers. Not sure it's the best approach, but it's ballsy...he took a risk of losing some players by doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 It takes balls to call them out in a press conference????? No, it takes balls to call them out in person, in front of the rest of the team. everything else is just lip service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Originally posted by Chief skin AW SHUCKS, I don't think Spurrier has that type of mentality You nailed it on the head. He doesn't. You want somebody to draw a line. You have Ramsey and Arrington do it for their sides of the ball........"Listen you Jerks, I need you to NOT false start and to block for me.....give me a chance and we'll win but if you don't.....we can't." AW Shucks boys....lets just pitch it around and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big z Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Who's gonna call out Spurrier for continuing to put a TE on a DE and expecting Ramsey to get the protection he needs........I could see if it was Jenkins....or even Rasby. But c'mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
