What's your source? I haven't seen even a rumour that the players were displeased with Al. There has been commentary from the talking heads about his "700 page playbook", but where are you getting your player discontent theory?

he's a backbiter. he bashed brunell publicly, and basically said campbell was too stupid to run his offense, he called out portis, he hasn't made any significant adjustment to adjust his scheme to the talent, and he hasn't use what worked last year (shotgun, audibles, etc). He also complained about the mis-use of preseason, but that's a legit gripe.
brunell said he had no idea why they'd bring in a new offensive scheme for a 36 year old QB when the old one worked well and he already knew it.
the WRs were enamored by the potential of the scheme, but everyone seems to think the greatest show on turf was saunders creation, which is very very (VERY) wrong. he was the WR coach and he was working with faulk, holt, and bruce. mike martz is responsible for that, and vermeil too. saunder may or may not have helped, but he wasn't the guy in charge or even the #2.
anyways, i'm kinda anti-saunders, cause i'd rather hear a guy step up and be responsible when things aren't going well, instead of blaming everyone else for his own (possible) failings.
