You have to wonder what our rookie players are thinking.

Like everything on the practice field seems to be a well run professional organization to them. Great team leaders that they are learning from. They have taken all this knowledge so far and tough practices to the preseason games and have played well. They are seeing how they are improving.... YET YET the Head Coach was irresponsible and got in some weird accident that they allowed to get unnecessarily controversial... then the owner did some crazy s**t and is all over national news in an orange jumpsuit. And I'm sure the youngster somehow got info that they are on a team with a coach that did a line of coke on video. Not to mention those huge substation transformers everyone talks about towering over the practice field. If EVER there was a situation of "Do as we SAY....Not as we DO! K..thx".... this is it! THANK GOD we have legit team leaders, who will keep everything together this season.

I don't think our rookie players are losing any sleep. Imagine all the crazy s**t they or their schools were involved in in college that we never hear about.

They are adults, they'll be fine. I'm just glad it's not our players getting into trouble

They are probably thinking, "does this really need it's own thread?"

I don't really wonder what they're thinking, they'll think whatever they want and I'm sure they think a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with the team owner, while at the same time they all probably went WTF. It is what it is.

They most likely don't give two shiis about this if we being honest.

As long as the checks don't bounce, and they treat their players right, I would bet they don't give a s**t. Do you think that any of the players hang out with the coaches outside work? I bet it is really rare across the league, if it happens at all.

They are thinking man I wouldn't ever be dumb enough to piss away 40 mil guaranteed like that previous idiot.

And the owner is a dumbass.

I'm pretty sure the rookies and even many of the fringe players are far more concerned about making the roster.
