Accountability

Separately, and back to the subject of accountability, I would like Landry to simply say, "You're right. I bit on a few plays, and they cashed in, and I let down my teammates. I will work even harder to make sure it doesn't happen again -- my team and the fans deserve it." For all the Suisam bashing going on, at least he stepped up and admitted he blew it. And Ethan Albright took the blame for a high snap (even though it wasn't). It is a mark or professionalism to admit to a mistake -- but perhaps as importantly, if players like Landry cannot even admit to having made them, how can we reasonably expect for them to learn from them?

What about the Fun Bunch???

I miss the demonstrations. This game is about being excited, yeah, if you are 3-9 and you make a tackle after a 7 yard run that is stupid, but if you make a sack, a solid hit, whatever, get pumped, get everyone around you pumped.
