thats what I see, too.

Leadership is an instinctive, inherent trait.

It comes from guys with charisma and fire that permeates throughout the squad.

Hali, Flowers and DJ are not natural leaders.

And Tyson Jackson is just a guy.

This team needs that guy that puts a fire in other's belly, and that is just another failure of Pioli.

He's gotten so caught up in character, he's forgotten about other qualities.

Letting Shaun Smith walk for mere peanuts is just a microcosm of what you are talking about here.

That guy and others like him are exactly what this team missed last year and this.
