    I'll never understand why Lake/K/Gregory took Ngata out of that MLB role he played in the first half to sub in lead-footed fatsos with all the eye-black in the world in Manure and Beef Wellington.

    Even though Ngata made plays, he didn't play "disciplined" while Manu was a regular in the film room, when asked knew all the assignments, and never missed a practice. Actually.

    Wellington looked worse than he was trying to cover for Manu, who was historically bad.

    Knowing the assignments in practice is not the same as executing them in games. Manu had all the answers for the coaches until the lights came on. He cheated, overshooting gaps, trying to overcome his physical limitations and left Wellington alone trying to clean up the mess.

    I can't express enough how bad Gregory is and the mindset that permeated the team. Overachieving upperclassman know the playbook and know what the coaches want to hear and see in practice. It's why they kept running Fuller and Baciella together, series after series, It's why in fall camp Haener "duked it out" with Eason and it's why Gregory stuck with Manu for so long.

    Players make plays. In games. Pretenders live in the film roam and study coach speak.

    Funny how Puka made an instant impact when he finally saw the field then returned to the bench until he could grasp more of the playbook.

    This mindset is the El Oh El of the conference. The joke is on us.
    I can't chincredible this enough

    This is the type of behavior that you see from coaches or executives or whoever is in a position of influence that forgets what the fundamentals are to being great and transitions to we're great because of my genius or culture or whatever.

    First order of business is that there are core traits that are requirements to being successful. In sports, you have to have a core level of athletic ability. You can know everything (like Manu) but if you can't physically do the job it doesn't matter. IF there is ANYTHING that should be taken away from last year by EVERY single coach on staff it is that if you can't do the job athletically then you can't do the job. That's a full stop.

    I get trying to instill a culture that stresses how important it is to do all of the details correctly. The reality is that it is important. Once you get the athletic ability at the right level, the next level of differentiators comes down to the little details. But the little details can't be your culture.

    What 2019 really showed was that the staff didn't value winning as the outcome of their culture ... they viewed their culture as being more important than winning. And the reality is that your culture is only worth a damn if you deliver results. If you aren't delivering results, I don't give two shits about what your culture is because it's not one that I want to emulate.
