You put the team first when you think about the future and the things we have to do. If you don’t practice, you don’t play and that’s putting the team first and giving us the best chance to go out and be successful. He has to understand that. Coach Shanahan is doing a good job of that. He knew what we were missing last year. He knew we missed a lot of practices. The first thing they looked at when they came here, I bet, was how many practices everyone missed. You’ve got to change something. You can’t just sit there and keep letting it happen. That’s what he’s trying to do.”

That all sounds good, but the fact remains that this team is no better than last year. Everybody always back the coach. Then why don't they go out their and lay it on the line? Shanny/AH feud has nothing to do with their inability to tackle.
Nothing against Daniel, but let's not use the AH situation as a scapegoat for yet another disasterous season.
