00:00I would argue if Ramondre Stevenson got hurt, God forbid, on Sunday,
00:05that your season's not over.
00:09So what are your thoughts of making the statement,
00:14creating the culture, and getting rid of Ramondre Stevenson?
00:18I would sit him for a week.
00:20That's what I would do.
00:21Like not dress him?
00:23Correct.
00:24We're going to sit him this week because culture,
00:27if this is the point you want to start,
00:29forget the point Sunday is just to beat the Panthers.
00:31Forget everything around it.
00:32But culture is habits and attitudes.
00:35And within that, as a coach, it's what you enforce and also what you allow.
00:39If you allow a running back who had seven fumbles last year,
00:43which everybody knows, to then have two fumbles in a game you should have won
00:47and two fumbles in the first three weeks to then shoot up and play a major role on Sunday,
00:51what you're saying is I allow our offensive players to commit the worst possible mistakes
00:56and continue to play.
00:57That's what that says.
00:59Ramondre Stevenson is also someone that, as Rabel said, after the game,
01:02and he's approached Ramondre, who I think has had a good offseason amid close tragedy.
01:07He lost his dad.
01:09Is someone he's kind of handled very softly in a way you don't see with a lot of other players.
01:13I don't know exactly why, but I think his point about we're going to need Ramondre
01:17because he's one of our more talented players, our better players, down the road is right.
01:21I don't think you need him against Carolina, and I think what you need to do is send a message
01:24that we just won't tolerate this level of screw-up from a guy who's holding the ball,
01:29which means he's also holding the franchise.
