Leaders developing?

[Eric the Red]

We needed a few players to step up and most likely speak for the the others who are looking forward to the new coach.

 

Looks like Michael Rose and Pearson-El are ready to roll publicly giving the thumbs up for Coach Riley.

 

Who do we really need to step up and welcome this new coach and staff?

I personally think we need two players on the offense....TA or a OLineman

[BigRedPowerWagon]

I think stanton might be stickin up for him since he knows him fairly well.

[Bigred_inSD]

Polo and Headley

The WRs & RBs should help Riley move in. Pearson-El, Westerkamp, Cross and Taylor should all do the heavy lifting of boxes. Our line should help too, but they'll start too early and get a yellow wash cloth thrown at them.

[DrunkOffPunch]

The current leaders on the team, AA and Bell.

[ColoNoCoHusker]

If you subscribe to the notion that a big part of the losses have been attitude & culture issues within the team, I think we really folks to step up to being "active leaders" in every position group.

 

As far as external facing (to the fans/media/HB), not worried as good internal team dynamic will take care of this.

I agree. Gerry & Rose on defense. It's unfortunate Ameer is leaving. There isn't a name that pops up with the offense. A leader doesn't necessary have to start, but it helps. Probably Imani Cross. He'll be a senior. Although he seems more like the silent type figure. Player leadership is important so I hope many players step up for that type of role.

[Warrior10]

Don't forget Jamal Turner coming back at WR, I think he could step into a role. He has handled the last week maturely.

All 1000 Cottons need to step up and let it be know he is Cotton approved

DPE, Rose and Davie have been some of the most vocal guys publicly. Givens-Price also was among those who came to the presser. So, there is a pretty good chance they are vocal guys behind closed doors also. Though I would suspect that some of the less than thrilled guys are the ones who have been sliding by and know there are guys behind them they might lose jobs to if the competition were truly open.
