Tony McGee: Redskins vs. Chargers

[SmootSmack]

He was definitely more animated during our phone conversation than he usually is. You can sense the loyalty he has for Gibbs. What he basically told me was that Gibbs is the kind of coach that you wanted to give an extra effort for. That when the players thought they had nothing left to give, they would dig deep and pull out that hidden talent or motivation or whatever. Because they knew that Gibbs would always do the same for them. If he spent 15 hours watching film and they lost, the next week he would watch 20.

He doesn't see that extra effort and desire in today's player. Not every player, but many of them. And that frustrates him, because he feels like they need to understand that at some point there's only so much the coaches can do.
