We don't need players freelancing out there, and he's not good enough to get away with that kind of stuff. Ya know.....I'm not an "angry....send a message" kinda guy - and I DONT like our depth at RB with just AJ and Jamaal - but this $hit's gotta stop. We were right there yesterday. That game was ours to win. People can micro-coach every play call every play executed - but we were right there with the best in the league - at the end when it counted - till 88 went rogue and put us in a hole.

TheBitzMan Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 McCarthy is the "player" source here, tossing him under the bus because only an idiot would not tell his player to stay in the endzone. (I'm kidding, sort of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACKRULE Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I'm sure there are a few other guys on this team who've done it and continue to. CM3, AR to name a few. With that said the whole thing will depend on conversations between coach and player. Yes it sucks and really sucks but something like this can bring this team together to rally around Ty and see that they are extremely capable of playing good football and can beat anyone road or home. My optimistic view anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm kidding, sort of) I wondered about that ... out of character for McCarthy to call out a player .. he just rarely does that. My first instinct was that McCarthy was covering for himself or for Ron Zook. I don't think that's the case though, as it really does seem that Montgomery went a big rogue out there.

Did you guys read the story? It's not "one" player or coach. It is multiple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kidding. McCarthy would have to be pretty dumb to be the source for that. TyMont already went rogue once who's to say he wouldn't again after he is benched or cut. The source has to be someone on defense because they would've been the ones see Montgomery get upset after being pulled. My guess would be a combination of Daniels/HaHa/CMIII.

MM doesnt throw his players under the bus - meaning, he doesnt (or cant) use them to CYA. He might not rant and rave to the liking of some fans - but most he does publicly is say a player "has work to do" or "just has to do his job" or "isnt playing for some reasons...dot dot dot dot" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if a player ignores his coaches tactics? No, it's very likely he plays next week. I think ultimately you see how it settles down after a few days, see what Montgomery's demeanour is like and if he shows remorse and if his teammates rally behind him or if there is lingering animosity. If the decision is made to keep him on the roster then you use this as a way of lighting a fire under Montgomery and use it as motivation, that's what great coaches would do and McCarthy tells us he is a highly successful head coach who gets the best out of his players. This doesn't sound like a routine mistake. Fumbling the ball is a routine mistake. Taking the ball out of the endzone in that instance and then fumbling was an exceptional mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It speaks to football being a team sport, and a player's self interest should be above the interest of the team. Teams win when players focus on doing their job- big or small- accept the role that is given and do their best with focus and discipline. It was a selfish response by Montgomery. He put himself above the team. Adds new meaning to the phrase "do your job". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montgomery should be traded or cut. He provides nothing that we need. The only thing that sucks is the team who would give the most for him is the team we play right after the trade deadline.
