(S29) PT 5 - Arguements

[Alcott]

A fight between teammates is a pretty normal occurrence, especially if you think about the sheer amount of time the players spend with one another. Between practice, film room, game days, and other charity or non-football related events that go on, most players end up seeing their co-workers on the grid iron more than their actual families, which is more or less how many teams become as close as families. And anyone with a big enough family can tell you that brothers and sisters do one thing better than anyone else, and that's fight when there's competition involved. Being a rookie on the Yeti certainly put Cole in an awkward position when he was approached to help resolve a conflict that sprang up during a live hitting session in practice as he thought one of the more established veterans and leaders of the team should be the one to speak up about appropriate behavior on and off the field. But alas it was no one else but him who was asked to set things straight, and he decided the best approach would be to address the whole locker room at the start of the next practice. He brought up the incident that occurred the previous day and mentioned the players by name, but also that it wasn't the first time that something like this had happened when things got heated during drills. The drills and practice were designed to help make each other better, and the team only hurts itself when it starts to fight among themselves.
