You either have the warrior mentality or you do not. It is simple as that. NU needs more guys with AA's attitude. He is correct. Guys played flat, uninspired ball. I saw little excitement on a big catch, run or tackle. No getting in a guys face for the penalties i.e. Cotton or guys dropping passes or running bad routes, missing blocks etc..... These guys need a friggin wake up call and AA is giving one. Calling guys out.
My biggest problem is this. Why, after 7 years, do we constantly have to do a friggin attitude check every season. Don't the coaches catch this attitude. Do they see it in preparation, film room etc.... Are they as shocked as AA today about the attitude. If they are, more reason we are in trouble. The coaches should know the mentality of these guys. teach it, preach it and bench guys who are mentally soft or resting on some BS idea that they awesome.
Dudes jumped all on Corey Raymond after SC. I loved it. AA said the same thing. He put that team on his back last year and this and they crap all over him. I'd be pissed as all get out. Came back to finish business, could be an AA, Hypesman and my team mates let me down. I'd be pissed. Coaches letting me down I'd be pissed. Like someone said above. This is becoming the acceptable and new NU culture..........
