I'd just add one thing: On Monday, Belichick talked to the team about showing more commitment. Said they needed to arrive early. Stay late. Don't be running out of the building. When this happened two days later, I think it adds important context to Belichick's decision.

So he put everyone on notice and players were still late. If my boss told me something like that you better believe I am going to make sure I conform to his wishes.

And yet AD is still whining to the media. Shameless.

Obviously this will not be an acceptable fact for the haters in this board

Cue the haters to this thread in 3...2...1

I cannot understand why it was so hard NOT to get Coach's message. This isn't college ball anymore. This is the pro's and if you can't act like one, then
you ought not to be there.

ya, this is a significant piece of information that eliminates the small amount of sympathy I had for these 4. AD must really be a lost cause at this point if he is going to the media about this. Otherwise, someone like Seau would have told him to (Please be quiet - edited) and just show up the next day.

Very significant.. I have no sympathy either, they should have been ontime. I left 2 hours early for work yesterday, why couldn't those 4?

OK, so I have to ask the question, is Thomas being used properly? Is his talent being wasted in this very passive defense?

personally i think they should go back to the 3-4 and use him at ILB... but aside from that the fact that the 4 were late just shows you they're not doing extra time before hand or coming in early before required meetings. doesn't appear to be above and beyond.

I was held accountable to be on time for practice when I was playing PEEWEE hockey.. They had me and every other kid teamed up, so if I our my partner was late or did something wrong, we both were punished. BB should partner Thomas up with Mayo or something. It'll teach Mayo to start *****ing people out when they deserve it.
