The lack of ownership from the players who are supposed to be leaders shouldn’t be a surprise. That starts at the top, with coach Brian Daboll running a program that rarely demonstrates accountability. Daboll avoids singling anyone out publicly, so he stuck to his script of blaming the “collective” for the team’s struggles on Monday. But as each week passes with no changes to the coaching staff or the lineup, it’s not a surprise there are no changes to the results.
“Nothing is good enough. Offense, defense, kicking game — we all can be better,” Daboll said. “We’re doing everything we can do to try to improve it, and I’m confident we will.”
