ESPN: Jets too physical?

If I am not mistaken the no contact rule is apart of the CBA between the players and the owners. If the allegations are true then that is a violation of the contract. Furthermore, if they are true then maybe the team should not have violated the cba.

 

Agree 100%

 

Every team in the NFL does this it is not just the Jets and the Raiders.

 

Then it was actually the players that violated the cba. I don't think Mangini put on pads and ran into the linemen.

And don't give me "yeah, but the coaches MADE the players run into each other".

If the coaches told the players to go into a strip club, throw money in the air, grab a naked hottie by her hair and bounce her mellon off the stage, then go outside and shoot real bullets at punks trying to run away from a fight, would the players do it?

Of course they would! This ain't Russia baby! So that proves my point.

Thank you.

 

Word. (filler)

 

I agree with you!

 

so is there anything new with this story?

 

A "anaylist" on Miami radio said today that the NFL is "considering" taken a draft choice away from the Raiders for the violation

 

So it looks like the Raiders won't have the #1 pick again next year afterall....

 

hey now, whats wrong with chris berman?

 

Maybe he's referring to this, but It's not the Raiders. This is from profootballtalk.com:

They've already ruled on the Raiders, the penalty was one week without weightlifting. But this would be a repeat offense for Reid and the Eagles, who have been disciplined for this in the past...

 

Could be & he misspoke using the Raiders instead of the Eagles

 

Misinformation.

 

hey all this is great, but what about the jets? any investigation?

 

Goodell probably loves Mangini. He's a model coach for the next generation. The Jets will be fine.

 

Yeah, if the media hasn't picked up on any negative sh*t yet we're probably allright. I'd suspect Kendall but he'd have to know everybody would be looking at him first if somebody snitched on this. Coulda been Coles too, much as I hate to think of it, but maybe there's nothing to it anyway.

Freakin' Kendall pisses me off though. Why can't he just play out his contract and be happy with the money he would have been paid? Nobody twisted his freaking arm to sign, now all of a sudden it's not enough.

 

we can only hope this leads to a really aggressive hard hitting team come september..

 

Point well taken. The only player of recent times that may have earned a bit of loyalty is Curtis Martin; he is the exception when you look at the whole package. While we may have faired well in keeping Lamont Jordan, he didn't exactly dominate after leaving the Jets. He would have made a great number 2 back; I do not think he was franchise tag material.

 

I agree. LaMont did not distinguish himself as an every down back, at least not yet. Curtis is a credit to the franchise, he restructured so he wouldn't be a hnderance on the cap and even now he's helping guys like Leon Washington and Thomas Jones. Odd to say, but we might still be better off with a retired Curtis Martin than an active LaMont Jordan.

 

Just throwing it out there, but this article states that Kendall was shipped out of Arizona because he was the one who ratted on them to the union having contact in OTAs that year.
