You'd think Bobby would be that alpha in the locker rom for the defense. I know he's a one year filler but he was brought back for his leadership but perhaps guys like Adams, Woolen and Diggs..perhaps others don't care.
This is PCs leadership (hahaha) history.You don't blame your players for not doing the correct things on the field. It's week 14 for Christ's sake, if your players aren't doing the correct things, that's on you and your coaches Pete.
The "miscommunication" and "we aren't on the same page" excuse is so lame and tired. What other teams, even college have you heard these same excuses year after year?
Pete runs a loose locker room full of knuckleheads who he's enabled to to play his undisciplined style of football........and now he's blaming the players? That's terrible man. Blame yourself Pete.
This is PCs leadership (hahaha) history.
He should not be calling out anybody publicly - that is Leadership 101.
But, IF he is going to be calling out anybody it should be the entire coaching staff. They're a bunch of incompetents, but since they're his incompetents he's too afraid to address the real issue.
CYA Pete, and make sure you don't upset your friends at work. After all, they won't like you if you confront them. So just avoid it. Throw players you don't like (more realistically, who don't like you) anymore under the bus, instead.
Afams and Diggs have been playing like shit all year. Did he even take step 1 and call them out individually and privately?To be fair, it's not for lack of trying.
He's had private reprimands with players - not working.
Last week, they practiced for the specific plays that the 9ers ran - players didn't execute in the game (JA, Diggs)
Not sure what else he can do besides this latest approach. Yeah it's probably too little, too late, but it's something other than status quo.
In the past, he had players that held each other accountable. Now he doesn't have those players.
Is Carroll's messaging getting through?
Sounds like he doesn't care right now, because the mistakes are ramping up regardless.
This slide has brought some fire out.
It's too far gone. Impossible for one player to fix. I'm sure Wagner has given up from exasperation. I now hardly ever see him aggressively talking with other players on the field or the sideline - he was doing so early in the season.You'd think Bobby would be that alpha in the locker rom for the defense.

Many here called it back then.I think this is the lowest point of Carroll's tenure here. Perhaps the end of 49 is lower, but at least with that, at the time, it felt like we still had a great team to build with moving forward.
That's how the SB team was created. Somewhere along the way, "Always Compete" became "I have my guys and I'm going to stick with them instead of being publicly embarrassed by having to admit I threw away draft capital and $$$ on players who suck. I have no clue how to build a Line or a Defense, but if I just pull from the future every single year I can at least beat the really bad teams and stay around. 500".What we got now is a roster full of satisfied, paid athletes. That NEVER relates to winning, at least not up here in the PNW where people forget about us.
We need young, hungry, angry unproven guys that want to come in and play hard, play nasty, because they feel disrespected. Adams, Diggs, I'm looking at those two first. Both paid, both half assing it out there. That s*** sends the wrong message to our young guys. Honestly I'd start there first.
Aaaaah. Those were the days.That's what I loved about Pete when he first got here. He didn't give a rip what the guy was getting paid. He got rid of TJ H... for being paid and satisfied. He got rid of those old paid guys that were only going through the motions.
We paid Matt Flynn? Too bad, this rookie 3rd round pick is lighting it up. Lendale White? Goodbye.
100%. The fish rots from the head.Carroll and Schneider have both become complacent. They've become just as satisfied as these overpaid guys on the team right now. That's why I don't care what Carroll says now because he's had time and opportunities to fix it but hasn't. It's just lip service for the media.
What accountability are you talking about? The season is basically over and Pete hasn't changed a thing on this defense. Same issues every week, every year, and Pete is finally showing some frustration with his players, but he hasn't changed anything.Suddenly seems like a lot of people who previously craved ultimate accountability and wanted to see it in a transparent manner are staunchly against accountability being assigned in a transparent manner.
I'm all for it. My argument is that this should've been done starting in the 2017 season.Suddenly seems like a lot of people who previously craved ultimate accountability and wanted to see it in a transparent manner are staunchly against accountability being assigned in a transparent manner.
Take whatever Pete is doing and claim he should do the opposite.Suddenly seems like a lot of people who previously craved ultimate accountability and wanted to see it in a transparent manner are staunchly against accountability being assigned in a transparent manner

IMO, they should have blown up the roster did a true rebuild after the Russ trade.That's what I loved about Pete when he first got here. He didn't give a rip what the guy was getting paid. He got rid of TJ H... for being paid and satisfied. He got rid of those old paid guys that were only going through the motions.
