Jeff Saturday addressed the team this week. His teammates listened and report on the situation:
"It was really stern," rookie left tackle Anthony Castonzo said. "It was like, 'Listen, we're not joking around. We're 0-9 right now.' "
Veteran wide receiver Reggie Wayne said the message was clear and succinct: "Play football, nothing else. Love football, nothing else. Be a man, nothing else," Wayne said.
"He didn't have to yell. He didn't have to scream. He didn't have to be 'Macho Man' Randy Savage. He was Jeff Saturday. That's how we took it."
