Dansby Publicly Disagrees With Philbin's Decision To Cut Chad Johnson

Dansby needs to focus on letting everyone else in on the secret why he is the best LB in the NFL.

 

As I said before, I'm glad he's chirping about it. To me that means Joe Philbin actually just moved the needle with this message he sent.

 

He should just keep his mouth shut. It's not his decision. Id put my boot so far up his *** he would taste leather.

 

I think we can now safely say Joe Philbin is the anti-Cam-Cameron. There can be no doubt who is in control of the locker room.

 

Well, this is just great. Dansby needs to shut the hell up and finally step up and play up to his huge contract.

 

Keep it up Philbin, stick to your guns!

 

Ugh... Dansby is supposed to be a leader on this team. He's supposed to be buying in to what the new regime is selling, and helping and encouraging other players to do so as well. Not going out publicly and complaining that we cut a headcase WR that we're better off without.

 

Why does it have to be so freaking extreme? You're making Dansby's words out to be way more than they actually were. It's like the choice for you either has to be fascist suppression or tyrrany of the mob...can't be something in between, has to be one or the other.

You're sensationalizing this whole thing. A popular locker room personality just got cut and some players don't like it. It's not the first time they've questioned decisions made by the coaches and front office even in the Parcells era, and it won't be the last time.

I personally take the disagreement from some of the players as having actually moved the needle and shown the players something they A) didn't already know, and B) don't really like.

 

Yeah, let them all stand up and complain, then cut every single one of them. Dansby said he speaks for the whole team - did they vote, did they all sign a petition? And frankly who cares if they do or don't like whats gone down. The decision was made, now shut up and play, or for that matter make a ****ing play. I don't want to hear the self proclaimed "best linebacker in football" who doesn'ty make many game changing plays tell me about how everyone else feels.

No one asked how he felt, and when I say no one I mean no one that matters, not the coaching staff, not the FO. The radio show host is irrelevant to just about anything aside from taking up dead air. Johnson was already on thin ice for how he acted previously, he was warned about how he represents the organization. He didn't fully understand - now he does.

Dansby doesn't have to loike his coach, who cares if he does. The coach isn't there to be nice or firendly or have people over for dinner later. He's there to lead them, and most of the time people who are in charge are not liked, but liking and repsecting what Philbin says is different. I could care less if the players like what I say to them, thats up to them. But they damn well better hear it, or they'll be packing their bags.

Not everyone likes the laws ofr a country, but you'd better stay within them or you get locked up, plain and simple. Its the same principle. Philbin is Dansby's boss, it doesn't matter whether Dansby agrees or not. They don't get paid to agree, they get paid to play. This is a case of the inmates trying to keep control of the aylum and someone else making sure they get a kick in the *** as they are put back in their cell.

I hope Philbin said the same thing to Dansby as he did to Chad "you don't have to agree, but you better be prepared to act on it". Simple as that. No one's aksing what you think, there's a reason why Karlos, because we don't care - just make a tackle and play the game. The rest is above your pay grade.

 

Dansby acting the fool in a crucial first test for the regime .

These guys just don't get it, and do not want to turn the corner yet with a organizational culture change .

 

Only because you're making it a bigger distraction... Nice leadership...

 

I guess I don't quite understand why everyone seems to be spinning this whole situation into a positive. Our WR corps is weaker and the players are upset that he was let go. Doesn't matter if it's the right decision or not, whose to blame, etc. etc. There is disharmony right now in the locker room and that's not a good thing. Joe Philbin needs to get the players back in his corner or this could turn into Cam Cameron part II.

 

Has Dansby gone on the radio to question or show his displeasure about what Chad actually did, or was involved in? Has he shown displeasure for Chad putting himself in a position where he could be cut? Philbin wouldn't have to consider cutting Chad if Chad had not in fact been arrested. Whether the girl is nuts doesn't mean much. Why? Because Chad still married her, that was his choice, no one else.

Choices do have consequences. You do stupid things like marry a crazy woman, or the other side of the coin, go around headbutting, slapping or whatever then you will eventually deal with consequences.

If this didn't happen on Saturday Chad would still be a member of this team. Dansby should redirect his issues to the person(s) who made it happen, and its not Philbin, this mess landed on his desk.

 

Not as mysterious as Dasby.

 

The tail does not wag the dog.Philbin needs to show who is boss and what behaviour will not be tolerated .

 

I'm listening to the interview.

First off for context, Dansby answered a bunch of tough questions about their performance Friday. He said they didn't execute, they need to work hard, etc. Rosenberg even pushed it and said it seemed like on Hard Knocks we have all these things to be optimistic about Garrard having a good camp, Chad Johnson, the team looking good in practice, then suddenly Garrard's injured, Chad Johnson's arrested and off the team, and they go out and suck in the preseason game. Karlos took it, said they need to do better. He never pointed out that it was meaningless preseason action, said that even if it's not a meaningful situation they need to play better and prove things to the fans.

On how much of a distraction it is for a football team that was already trying to get past Brandon Marshall being traded to Chicago...he made it clear he disagreed personally with the situation. He's upset. His belief is that a guy should get a 3rd strike, that the organization should have stood behind him just because it was so out of character for Chad to end up in this situation. He wasn't ranting. He wasn't saying anything bad about the people that made the decision. He disagreed and said it's his personal opinion.

And you know how he finished it? And I guarantee this doesn't make it into ANY of the media reports about it...

"But the organization felt a different way about the situation, and they probably have more information than we know, and so they had to do what they had to do."

Is that really insubordinate? Come on, fellas. I think there's room for being reasonable about this, even on a message board.

 

Says who? Based on what evidence?

 

And if Rick Saban were still in charge, Dansby would be out on his *** before he ever even stepped out of that sound studio.

 

Gezzus! Did Dansby really say thay?!?!

Cut him now. I can not believe he has opened his mouth. Where does he think he lives? America? What a disgrace

 

I did see that quote in an NFL.com article this morning before I read this thread so I was wondering what all the fuss was about. I guess people hadn't been given that last reasonable part right away

 

Could we lose 3 starters in 3 straight days?


Seriously though I agree that this is a none issue.

 

He should be quiet, and put this mess of a defense together...

 

Everyone likes a story so this won't make it to ESPN or any other major media outlet...I have a feeling that after his talk with Philbin Dansby will be fine with the decision.

 

"The organization probably had more information than we know...."

nuff said Karlos...nuff said! move on....focus on Friday!

 

Phillip Merling is still on this team!?! I was sure he signed with the Packers..

 

BTW speaking of 3 strikes, what is this guy doing back on the radio? What is this, his 5th radio station?

 

Dansby also said, "I'm just talking about personal life, things happen. **** happens in life that can alter everything around you. You just don't give up on people, especially when you know their character and you know what they're all about. But if you don't have a clue and you have to make a hasty decision, there's a lot that goes into it. Like I said, I don't know the logistics of his whole situation, and maybe the organization does, and maybe they just felt a certain way about the whole situation where they needed to part ways. I don't make that decision, I'm not getting paid to make that decision. It's a decision they're going to have to live with. It is what it is."
