Big Turk Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Where have we heard something like this before? Oh...last years Sabres... PFW reports: Bills' lack of inspiring leadership holding them back Coaches often stress the importance of not getting too high or too low in response to whatever situation a team finds itself in. Dick Jauron and the Bills are doing that well … too well, in fact. In talking to sources close to the club, the lack of emotion and fiery leadership both on the coaching staff and on the roster is keeping Buffalo from escaping the doldrums of their three-game losing streak. After being praised for his calm in the pocket in a terrifically efficient start to the season, Trent Edwards' measured stoicism has reflected the offensive stagnation he has directed. Meanwhile, Donte Whitner's absence with a shoulder injury has left the defense without more than just it's most talented defensive back. “Donte's really the only guy this team can rally around,” one source said. “Without him, there's nobody on this team who will make sure you're busting your tail out there.” Bills showing lack of leadership IMHO, with so many young players, they need the coaches to get on them when they make mistakes too many times...obviously Jauron isn't doing a good enough job of it, and it is showing...

Jauron needs to be a sideline leader. He should take a lesson from Turner Gill. You watch Turner Gill on game day and there's no question he's in charge. You look at Jauron and you think he's someone who showed up on the wrong sideline. The NE game showed how lack of sideline leadership leads to uninspired play. When Jauron lazily thru the unacknowledged challenge flag, the players followed his uninspired ways and played a heartless game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
