It's a fine line... without the veteran leadership....I fear a bit of a mutiny.
In Thomas' case, I think that ice has already begun to crack. In Moss' case, that's pretty much his entire career.
Just further proves Brady and the other vets weren't kidding when they talked (or didn't) about this team needing to fight harder and work harder.
This makes me think about whether BB might have risked too much when he released or did not welcome back too many professional veterans (Vrabel, Rodney, Bruschi, etc) who would have kept the team in line, especially Bruschi.

If these guys were sent home for being late today, its bordering on the silly side. With the snow and traffic, sometimes its unavoidable to be a bit late.
It's easy for me to say, living where we get no rain nor snow, but there's 53 players + practice squad, rehabbers, coaches, etc, and all but 4 of them, evidently, got there on time.although with traffic and such..who might NOT be late?? Bad timing for snow and being late..
Yes...................
Bruschi and Harrison retired of their own accord. And this season he's had too many vets sitting on the sidelines as inactives as it is. Vrabel hasn't exactly been setting a leadership tone in KC, either. Some guys age gracefully while others grow bitter and selfish.

So . . .
I have to agree, with you here. I'm all for cracking the whip, but the weather was terrible today kind of a lame way to make an example of people.
“I’m not saying we don’t have leadership here,’’ said fourth-year tailback Laurence Maroney, “but you knew in times like this, Rodney was going to say something, Bruschi would say something, Vrabel would definitely talk and say something.
“We have a lot of leaders now that are leaders by example. And don’t get me wrong, a lot of young guys like myself like that leadership by example, because you don’t need all the hoo-rah all the time, but that vocal leadership helps out, too.’’
