Rex makes the team do push ups

Exactly. The point isn't to make them work out, it's to single out the players who are fucking up so they don't do it again. I like it.

 

sexy rexy is jokes LOL

i remember him begging the fans for help
& admitting he wasnt as good as belichick

what a difference a gift wrapped afc appearance (loss) makes

LOL

 

This isn't something Rex invented. Everybody who has played football at any level absolutely has done up downs during practice in the same situation. It doesn't matter if it's 10 or 40, It brings focus to the practice. Also, if a player is singled out, chances are he doesn't make the same mistake again.

Also, Rex said they were doing up-downs, which are a bigger pain in the ass than pushups

 

You is expert analysts LOL.

 

I can't believe this stuff hasn't been happening all along. The Pats players must take laps for any stupid penalty taken by their unit, whether offense or defense in practice. Standard practice for years now...

 

It isn't fucking boot camp. The coaches are not drill instructors. The purpose of the push ups isn't to physically beat the players up and gas them to the point they can not think properly. It is the opposite, to get them thinking a little bit that there is a consequence for their mistake.

What use is doing 100 push ups to a grown man if their colleague made a mistake? You do that and I guarantee that the entire offense after 2 mistakes is making them every stinking play because they are too tired.

This is being done so they learn that the team is only as good as the sum of its parts. It is not meant to be corporal punishment it is something called collective punishment. I am willing to say that the team got the point of this.

This is not the Army, the coaches don't need to physically abuse players, all they need to do is get them to focus and play like a team.

 

The Jets do the same thing. Whats new is having the rest of the team do push ups instead of the player that made the mistake.

 

Quite obviously, some people are incapable of understanding what "humiliation" means.

 

LETS GO EAT A DAMN SNACK (these were probably the words yelled by rex after practice!)

 

This would actually work much better if they had the whole defense stand up in a line after each penalty and had somebody walk behind them and kill one of them with a gladius. Worked wonders for the Romans when they were running from the barbarians like wussies.

 

First one would have to be Drew Coleman right?

 

Well THAT would work wonders.

I'm pretty sure the Romans just lined people up in a bunch of long lines and then started counting as they walked. When they got to 10 the guy in front of them got the knife. They'd do this all the way down the line. That's where decimation comes from. Killing every 10th.

 

so what happens if both LT & Greene fumble in a game?

 

Drew Coleman is invincible.

 

Matthew Mulligan?

 

Realisically Brad Smith

 

I like the discipline, and I even like the fumble rule as applied on monday night, because that makes it real for everybody. If the bellcow of the offense can get sent to the bench, anybody can. So wrap that thing up.

But somehow I have a hard time seeing how ten pushups is at all remarkable for NFL defensive starters. Granted it's in pads, but that's not asking much. Running laps is a kick in the ass. Pushups ain't jack.

Anyway, the sense I get is the penalties the Jets got hit for won't be called by any other set of refs in the NFL, so, onward and upward.

 

Yeah that was my initial thought, but of course the coaches would never actually do that.


If Sanchez fumbles does Brunell go in?

 

See how flawed this system is?

It's probably only for running backs and WRs at this point.

Or it's time for a new mind behind the offense.

 

Could you imagine if they did this to A. Peterson?


He would never play.
