It's not like they have a Bosa, a Bobby Wagner or a Kenny Easley out there.

What they have is a couple of good players and a lot of nice, smart kids who can't play.

While I am not sure that all those nice, smart kids can't play, it does seem that both the OL and the defense lack a leader that has a real aggressive streak and who isn't afraid to point fingers when needed. One just doesn't see much fire in  the players. There may be leaders, but if there are, they are the lead by example types. IMHO you sometimes need a guy who will get in people's face when they screw up. I obviously don't know what is said in private, but having a guy who goes ballistic in public when called for is nice.
