I get what you all are saying. I feel there are a few guys who want to lead and try to do so by example and words. However, if those on the field don't want to follow, what can ya do? Also, I still feel the coaching staff could be more motivating other than butt rippings when assignments are missed. Some motivational words of encouragement would be nice. Some kids can get up on their own, some people need to be pushed. I think if the staff may need to step up seeing that the players are not willing to play for eachother and are more worried about themselves. Also the sideline players are pretty bad. Half the time I don't think most of them even know the score.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

This team has so much unrealized potential. Maybe they will come together and realize what they can accomplish. All of the bickering has to stop. Yelling does not make you a leader. Showing that you can play for the guy next to you and give extra effort that makes everyone better around you does.

But like you said. Say the right things, do the right things. If noone is paying attention it doesn't matter.

People talk about Russell being down right now. They have lost to two pretty good football teams. Granted I think they hung their heads and quit in both of those games. Still yet I think Russell has more talent than Mason County and that is enough in this game.
