"Coach Joe is on the Warpath!"

HELL, that got me fired up!
JOE IS THE MAN.
I GOT TO GET ME a "Swingin' Soul" T!!!

Yup, reading that fires me up and firing up the media and fans is fun -but hopefully this was just a peek of what is happening behind the scenes in the locker room.

I say, coach suit up and kick ASS!! Who doesn't love Joe, the man is a WINNER in everything he gets involved, getting fired is a good sign of things to come. I want him fired up every week including Dallas week, then I want him frothing at the mouth like a rabid dog.

Stubborn? In what way? I think he's shown a willingness to change -- giving up playcalling to Al Saunders was a huge departure from the norm for Gibbs.

Yeah he gave up the playcalling but he is dictating to Sanders. This is not the way Sanders wants to run his offense.

Plus those two terrible play calls at the end of the Giants game were his.

But, he's the head coach. That is what head football coaches do, normally.

Sanders? Ricky Sanders?

Who says those last two play calls (I won't even get into a debate over the actual calls, again) were his?

That "swinging soul" quotation is priceless. I think all the 'ra-ra' yelling and stuff is way overrated in the NFL (not that I've ever been in an NFL locker room or anything). I kind of suspect all that stuff makes a lot more difference to the fans and the media than it does for the players. They just need to show up and play and execute the game plan. Hit Kitna, get some turnovers, don't give up big plays, stop the Lions on third-down, control the clock, and keep the defense off the field. That is the bottom line. These are adults, they are professionals, does a screaming boss get you guys going at work? You need control of the locker room and respect, but come on, this isn't high school.

Still love that "swinging soul" line, though. I'm gonna try to work that into a conversation, though I know I'd probably just get a really perplexed look.
