Too thorough to put much of a dent in it in blog length.
He kept talking about these North Stars, a team source said.
And all of us in the building were like, What are they?
Can you share them with us?
Whats the vision here?
And I feel like thats really what happened (with Mayo).
…
(The coaches) were all kind of getting their reps, a team source said.
[O]ccasionally, the receivers didnt even show up.
Come kickoff, Baker was inactive.
The issue was (Baker) didnt understand why, a team source said.
He was intending to be back on time, but he wasnt.

What do you think of this problem, what can we do to solve this?
Through OTAs, training camp, some players started to test where the line was going to be.
That was the line, a team source said.
Weve got guys who cant get on the field because they cant get lined up.
Its just hard to get to us if theyre not seeing any results.
You get the picture.
All these quotes are doing it confirming what we all saw and heard.

There’s the OB Difference at work.)
We heard the convoluted messaging that changed from day to day.
Plus the boos and Jahlani Tavai telling us to “know our place.”

Sincerely, I’m grateful for any team sources who are talking and everyone who’s reporting these things.
After consecutive 4-13 seasons, we need this.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Let’s keep these reports coming.
