Yeah, I mean generally speaking I agree with you, but take into context this "little outburst"... He wasn't really yelling at anyone in particular, opposite of Mr. Owens who always has directed anger.

Lloyd may develop into a very good receiver, and I think he's proving himself more and more each week. This little outburst shouldn't bother anyone and I think the general vibe is that it's more reflective of his passion as a football player, and less of his lack of self control.

Santana Moss on the other hand needs to not retaliate... Be the bigger guy, suck it up... draw the penalty, and then walk of the field with a win. Don't fight back, cause you'll always get caught. You will hardly hear a complaint about Santana from anyone, but obviously we'd rather have the yards and some points vs. the last word/hit.

BTW, for anyone who cares, when I used the word "hissyfit" in the thread title I did not mean to imply that Lloyd was acting like T.O. or some punk. I simply did not know what to call "the incident" as I had no idea what it was all about.

I remember thinking several times the last few weeks that I wish lloyd would make a little stir about not getting the ball. He seems to catch almost every one of the very few balls they throw to him. This is the main reason I want Campbell in, Lloyd and ARE can play, but they need to get the ball.

They should be taking two deep shots per game to Lloyd minimum just to loosen he defense!

Per the Washington Post, Lloyd and ARE are fine, it was just Lloyd going Keyshawn on everyone:

Television cameras captured an animated exchange between wide receivers Brandon Lloyd and Randle El on Sunday, but numerous players and Gibbs said that Randle El was trying to calm his frustrated teammate. Lloyd has been unproductive this season -- 11 catches -- and was again invisible Sunday after making three early catches. "We were keeping each other cool," Randle El said.

Gibbs said they walked off the field together. Really not an issue. A struggling team with some guys who are frustrated. Not surprising.
