Montgomery said himself he was unmotivated except for SC, Bama, etc. You gonna say he was talking bullshite too? Or that he can "carry his arse"?

And Sam's stock dropped like a ton of bricks because of it.

Besides I never said it was impossible to stay motivated, just difficult to do so after coming so close to making history in college football.
Having to do it all over again the next year would be difficult, I don't care who you are. Especially when you are literally carrying the O almost every game. If you can't see that then you're delusional.


If any of those players actually feel like that they'll be out of the league by December. Half the battle a professional athlete faces is just trying to stay motivated.

All I'm saying is that, in my mind, lack of motivation is the only explanation as to why so many players "took a step back" defensively in 2012. Mingo, Reid, Montgomery, Simon, etc. these guys didn't suddenly lose athletic ability or knowledge of the game. How else, after the dominant year they all had in 2011 do you explain it?

Granted, 2011 aside, I must have also sucked to watch the O go three and out after busting arse on defense repeatedly.
