Since you both called it out, I'll share what I know. I have an inside-the-organization source (legit) who says there are 2-3 factions in the locker room.

PT is disgruntled as hell about being buried on the depth chart and "shopped around" twice.

Jimmy and Junior have been total d i c k s since their payday. Players are not mad they got paid but in how they're treating everyone else.

So some are pissed some are like "f-it, I'm getting mine" but overall Payton is losing the respect of a lot of players. Quickly.

This should explain the canned answers we're hearing from players and coaches alike.

Buckle up Who Dats, it could be a long season if we lose to TB.

That's some scary dramatic **** there. If Payton loses the locker room, the season is already over.

Thanks for the info. Something doesn't look right on the field and maybe they just don't have each others back like they used to.

We need an ass-kicker in the locker room to nip this in the bud. I can't help but think someone with Vilma's stature is sorely needed. It wouldn't hurt to bring him in as a position coach where he could still influence these guys.

Coach Payton has to know whats going on. He should take care of it from the coaching ranks. Rob Ryan seems like he's too much of a players coach to smack someone upside their head.

Then again, maybe its time to part ways with some of these malcontents. Stay young and stay hungry.

Man, that's terrible. I hope your source (legit) is wrong. But it does fit with the way they've been playing.

I'm sure we all work with people we don't like but we're professional enough to still do the best job we can.
