Wilfork says, "If you don't want to win, you don't need to be here" | ProFootballTalk.com
PFT is saying hes talking about someone(Randy Moss) but i think its just a blanket statement about the team, i dont think he was really trying to call anyone out

Looks like someone took the reigns as this team's defensive leader, ala Tedy Bruschi, Mike Vrabel, Willie McGinest and Rodney Harrison.

Weed out those bad seeds, big boy!

I'm pretty sure if Moss wanted to dog, he just would have sat out with a separated shoulder.

Adalius Thomas, Chris Baker. So far, those two are confirmed doggers. I'm sure there are more. The defense was the unit that consistently collapsed under pressure last year. I'm sure we will figure it out as more cuts and trades go down.

I personally just stated last night that HE MUST step up and be THE Leader in that locker room.

Glad he listened to me........heheheh

I doubt it's Moss that he is referring to, why would he say this:

Quote:

A lot of guys are not used to seeing young leaders,” he said. “All the leaders we had was older guys. Rodney, (Richard) Seymour, Bruschi, Vrabel. You name it, they were older guys not here anymore. But now you’re starting to see younger guys becoming leaders earlier. It don’t take seven, eight, nine years now to be a leader. We’re a young ballclub. But guess what? These young players we have — (Jerod) Mayo, (Brandon) Meriweather, Ty (Warren), myself, got Tom (Brady), got Randy (Moss). You have guys in this locker room that knows what it takes to win. You just gotta trust it. And we as players and as the leaders of our team. We got to ask more of ourselves and of each other. Coaches coach, players play. … We all got to be on the same page.”

Music to all our ears. It will be obvious who Belichick sees as the problems based on who's not in the lockerroom in August. "Point Blank" as Vince would say

VW had a similar tone in the phone call with WEEI.

I like it. Including talent, what made the teams from earlier this decade so successful was peer-level accountability.

For those of us who have ever played organized sports, letting down your coach is one thing. Letting down your teammates is another.

At any rate, I like what I am hearing.
