Jalen popped a guy in practice for not getting it right - once. Whatever happened next was taken care of in-house.

Flash forward: Jalen is now a team captain and instead of popping people in the mouth channels that energy into coaching them up, bringing out the best in them.

Playing for others (team) is a microcosm of living for others (family, military service) in ways that give life purpose.

Frustrated with a teammate's performance, as Tak apparently was? Find a way to bring them up.

Rams aren't saying much about newcomer Tak's disruption on the sideline. They'll handle whatever needs so be done with coaches and team captains (including Jalen, who's had similar issues) handling things in-house. Tak's choices: grow as a person and a player, or wash out of your NFL career. This is likely his last stop.

Tak, I hope you learn where to channel that energy and live a better life for it... this Ram fan is rooting for you, Tak.
