brooks was interviewed on the demotion of the Raiders OC Tom Walsh for the promotion of TE Coach Shoop and went on to talk about his own skills , how won't change HIS game or what he does on the football field.
This guy is such a lame character who refuses to take any responsibility yet said that Walsh was a guy who must take the responsibility for the Offensive problems in Oakland while not mentioning his on participation in the poor play of their Offense.
His "matter of fact" NON-leadership characteristics now becomes an obvious weight and a real factor as to "why" the SAINTS under "has-been" and his willingness to stick with brooks in spite of this lackadaisical attitude.
I realize I was very harsh on brooks and his "style" of play while with us, plus highly criticising that listless, non-passionate approach of his toward his position but seeing him now on another team, dragging that same indifferent mentality to the Raiders pulls into focus just how much of a "bring down" he really was.
How can you lead highly competitive men in a harsh and brutal game where winning is as much an attitude and approach as pure physical skills when you possess none of the qualities it takes to get the job done yourself. All of the athletic potential in the world will not accomplish the goal of winning if the heart isn't fully dedicated to that winning cause.
I am so relieved to have Coach Payton, and Drew Brees and Reggie bush on our team instead of "has-been", brooks and rickey williams that it's not even funny!
What a trial of fanship this has been! If we don't win another game this season, just the fact of what this new regime has brought to our TEAM so far has been satisfying. Of course, along with this new attitude and new squad, I do now expect to make a little more noise in the League than where we are right now!
I wonder how long brooks would have lasted had Coach Payton have kept him? After seeing that "Lock Room Report" where Gleason appealed to his team-mates to come in on their day off after being given it by Coach Payton and hearing someone else say "Stay Focused and Remember The GOAL!" I now no why it took about two seconds for Payton to say; "Adios!" to señior brooks!
