Melendez, along with a couple of other Zamberlin "Pets" chose the low road in last year. They became problems in the locker room as well as on the field. When called out for poor play, they chose the route of least resistance, blaming everyone but himself. Melendez who was supposed to be a big hitter, whiffed on more tackles than I have ever seen. I can only believe he was doing it intentionally or he would have never started at Hofstra. Kramer, like it or not will call a player out publicly. He did the same at Montana State so it is nothing new to him. Players, who are all about themselves, do not handle being called out well. All they want to hear about is their success, not their failures. They want everyone to rant about the one good play or tackle, not about the five missed tackles or wrong routes ran. Kramer not only gives praise publicly, he gives criticism publicly. Players had better toughen up because I do not see that changing.
