But this also does show why we have misses on skill players. You never know how these young dudes will react to stuff like this. You know what you want to get your offense to run at its peak but if the guys aren't doing their part it's just not the same. Deebo obviously took it to heart(though he still had his moments of half assing it) but other guys can't hack it and Kyle clearly doesn't want them setting examples for other players.
Whats concerning to me is that Deebo still would run half-assed routes and have little effort, which someone like JTO has repeatedly pointed out on film (and many instances where he didnt point it out). That was one of the things I never liked about Deebo. Once he was a captain and a team leader...how are young guys supposed to react when the so-called leader is doing half-ass crap and still getting so many targets, while they are put in a doghouse for doing the same.
