I think this is closest thing to a "tirade" I have ever read via Lanning...including "threats" of not playing people. Good for him. It is needed.
Now whether it is one of those coaching tactics to put players on notice that their playing time may be in jeopardy, without really meaning it...that is fine...great coaches make players uncomfortable and with 23 penalties in the last 2 games...the most in back to back games since 2017...players need to feel uncomfortable. This is a big game and sloppiness can cost you a victory.
