I am always perplexed at how NFL players need the coach to regularly motivate them, either through positive or negative feedback,  but I guess that is just youth and human nature.  In this case it is extra frustrating with the season on the line.  Glad it worked though.

I think you're in line with Jack Lambert, but Jack understood that NFL players are also human beings and sometimes, a few words are necessary. 

Believe me, this is worth the five minutes.

Youngsters nowadays are motivated by likes, clicks, and retweets, and less what their peers, parents (if they are in their lives) or coaches think of them.
Surrendering self to be part of something bigger is rare in these times.
Alas.
