I know Shanahan (Mike) gave a bit of a team lecture last week (which was primarily directed at Garcon, though some believe it may have also been targeted toward guys like Williams too) that players needed to man up and practice and play through pain. If you're injured that's one thing. But if it's just a matter of tolerating the pain, you better get out there on the field.

basically, dont be a sissy?

LOL, yeah. I think some players were trying the "I'm not healthy enough to practice but I'm healthy enough to play" reasoning. And Shanahan doesn't go for that

Players have been pulling that for ages. I remember stories about Lombardi coming in and, essentially, clearing out the trainers room. To hurt to practice? Then we'll give your roster spot to someone who can. Of course, back in those days, the team would cut as easy as batting an eye if you weren't one of the teams studs.
