Not absurd at all. As a retired police officer I cant even tell you
how many times I went up to a vehicle I had stopped that had dark
tinted windows and I was wondering was this it? Is this guy hiding a
gun behind the window? Am I going to get shot and killed? There is no
reason to have that dark of a tint unless the person is hiding
something. After I would investigate the situation I would always
issue a summons for the tinted windows which in NYC was an easy win
summons because the burden of proof lies with the defendant. In other
words he has to prove that the percentage of tint is legal. I never
lost any summonses that i issued, a record that i am proud of.

I agree that dark tint should be illegal, but the legal limit in NY is
so light that you might as well not even tint your windows. It would be
a waste of money.

I hear ya...but ultimately it will probably be best if the idiot gets
stomped on by this. He needs to grow up and the longer he waits the harder
it gets. He has an edge to him that looks like trouble, and that can really
hurt susceptible team mates...that does worry me. Guys like him, and he has
a history of this, divide those around them...it's never their fault and
always a victim of circumstance etc. That can kill a team. And Vernon is
finally starting to come around...he doesn't need a bad influence.

The absurdity is that it has come to this. The legitimacy is the reasons
you post about. Like a red light being put in an intersection or a railroad
gate being put at a crossing only after a horrible crash has killed someone.

Understood....actually if I think about it....it's been a long time since I
did something in a car that I didn't want anyone on the outside to
see....and when I was doing that, the car was not in motion. With all his
money I'd think he could get a room for that purpose...so, why do we need
tinted windows? Answer, so they appear to be gansters and cool :-)

I have no tolerance for DUI. I hope Edwards is cut.
Your hatred of Rex is irrational and strange. NFL players clamor to
play for him (except Sherry Rhodes... LOL)
Really Euph... you sound silly. Yeah we get you don't like Rex's big
mouth. Heck we don't either. But man, give it a rest.
Dolphin fans would have been more than happy to get Rex.
But he'd probably eat Flipper !

i would think that the response of the coach depends a lot on the
stakes involved in the decision. if you have a major football high
school or college, there is a strong motive to keep the best guys on
the field no matter what they do while off the field. a high school
coach at one of the nationally known texas, pa, fl, ca, etc football
factories wants a championship for visibility so they can move up the
rung. same deal with the college coaches... at div III rowan where i
went to school, i would not exactly call it a well known powerhouse.
they were a good div III team, but there were no USC type stakes on
the table... it was easy for the coach to axe anyone that did not make
grades or caused an issue. you simply did not have star players there

Hey, it's our culture. The dumber, the more violent, the more classless, the more
ignorant, etc, a person is, the more notoriety. Not because of this incident, but I'm
really sad for our kids. They never really saw our country at its best. And the way it
looks, they never will.

i would think that the response of the coach depends a lot on the
stakes involved in the decision. if you have a major football high
school or college, there is a strong motive to keep the best guys on
the field no matter what they do while off the field. a high school
coach at one of the nationally known texas, pa, fl, ca, etc football
factories wants a championship for visibility so they can move up the
rung. same deal with the college coaches... at div III rowan where i
went to school, i would not exactly call it a well known powerhouse.
they were a good div III team, but there were no USC type stakes on
the table... it was easy for the coach to axe anyone that did not make
grades or caused an issue. you simply did not have star players there
that the coaches could not do without like div I, nor was there that
immense pressure to win. they did coach hard there though... when i
was a freshman i went out to "scouting day" for the baseball team. i
played in high school and thought it might be fun to play a little
easy going college baseball. i saw that the coach wanted all the
players to consider that they were working like they wanted to be a
pro. Put in the same time and so on. Their best pitcher there did not
even stack up to the best guys that i hit off of in high school... no
way was i gonna turn a hobby into a job.
To me...if you don't play it like it's a job you aren't really playing
it...not when others and a team are involved..."We play the game to win."
:-)
That said, what you are laying out is clearly situational
ethics....something at stake, you can cheat the ethics laws....nothing at
stake, you get to be ethical...that is how it seems these days. I had a
coach in college who three two guys off the team the week of
homecoming...two starters right before our biggest game....they did some
seriously stupid stuff, but it was back in the day where they practiced far
less situational ethics stuff. I'm not freaked out about Braylon because I
think it's a situation where he got caught, but I think it happens a lot.

that is why i wisely made my first appearance at scouting day my
last. i was glad to leave it to the "competitors". i could tell the
guys there really wanted to win. the last thing they needed there was
a guy that wanted to have a sunday softball game... even if i could
eat their best pitchers like a crumb. not so much that i did not want
to compete, i just had bigger fish to fry at college.

Ahhh...but see, you don't really know if you could until you do it...and you
can't say you could or would have until you've done it...that's the beauty
of sports and it's why we follow them, the world is full of people who say
they could but only a few who go prove it...there are guys all over the
place who claim they just didn't have time to be the starting QB or
whatever. The only thing someone who never proved they can do it, by doing
it should ever really do, from an ethical standpoint, is to say
nothing....they just didn't do it.

common sense and average life experience would say you are right.
only a small percentage of idiots are caugt in the light.
And I've been told the statistics on that are very telling.....if you get
caught drunk driving once, you are very unlucky....the odds are very slim,
something like 1 in 2,500 or more. Now...with those odds, the guy who gets
caught works extra hard at it by how he goes about it. If you get caught a
second time....you are in some trouble, and if you get caught a third
time...you need to stop driving altogether, and take a bus to the AA
meetings. Braylon appears to be in that first category at least....but IF,
IF it is true that he was involved in the incident where Donte Stallworth
killed someone while drinking....he obviously does not learn from personal
experience either...and is well on his way to the second or even third
category.....they should learn to play without him.

by lightning or abducted by aliens...

i would seem that he may be a train wreck waiting to happen... if you
remember, I was one of the ones that protested agaisnt brining in guys
like santonio and edwards... once the moves were made, i just had to
have some hope that they might learn better... i guess not in edwards
case... but... cromartie is said to really be on the right track. if
one out of three work out, they did good.

From: BicketyBam
I've watched both of their games and I still have a hard time deciding
whether they have a top tier defense or not. I can not take anything from
the Buffalo game. They are just putrid on offense. Against GB they managed
186 net yards of offense. 62 net passing yards. Awful. They did manage 20
more yards than the 166 they put up against Miami. Props to them -
improvement! But I can not use them as a barometer to measure an NFL
defense.
So that leaves us with Minn. 10 points against and the TD drive started at
the 1 after a fumble. But the other stats do not say they are the steel
curtain some people think they are. 364 net yards surrendered, 156 rushing
against. And they got a huge assist from Minn when they decided to run it 4
straight times from in close. Minn has no receivers and Favre looks every
like a QB closing in on 40 who missed training camp.
I don't think the Jets will be a good test for them either, but as crazy as
it sounds I think it will be the best offense they will have faced so far.
I think we will know a lot more after they play Brady and the Pats. Green
Bay will also be a good indicator.
I will also go on record as saying that I don't think the Jets defense is
the next coming of the steel curtain. I think they are an above average
defense (but not great) that tends to break at the most inopportune times.
What are your thoughts on the Miami defense?

i only saw highlights of their first two games... it appears that the
best way to attack them is on the ends. I'd guess the jets will try
to get LT around the corner. i don't think play action will work well
because the style they seem to play there looks more controlled rather
than attacking and over committed. the guys on the d-line are said to
be stout and the lb's are good at gap control. just an odd guess on
my part, but their defense has settled into that cautious gap control
style partly because they go against their own offense in practice.
the wild cat stuff creates additional gaps, so the defense gains in
patience and discipline against that sort of running attack. the fact
that they are weak on the edges is strictly a manpower issue. the way
the secondary plays, they try to take away the deep stuff by means of
a lot of safety help over the top rather than the way the jets do it
with pressure and man. though, there has been a lot of recent talk
that davis can play man on his side of the field. again.. i have not
seen much of it for myself, so i cant say for sure.
as far as the Miami offense... i could be wrong, but i think they way
to play them is the opposite way the jets defense plays in general.
I'd play gap control. much like the fish defense plays. i guess i
must be crossed up about that, because rex did his best work against
the wild cat with his "BTF" blitz this formation doctrine. it is goint
to be interesting to see what miami does on offense and what the jets
do on defense. IMHO, the coach that can keep ahead of the other one
will get the win. My money is on Rex :-)

I'm figuring the 'Fins are gonna come out throwing. The Jets are gonna be challenging
Henne to throw, and I figure Henning'll be happy to oblige, with Revis out.
They've had a week, and the preseason, to study how Rex likes playin' it without Revis.
The key to me, is if Rex has gameplanned this possibility, so he can make a quick
adjustment, if Henning's successful.
As for our O, I haven't a clue which Schott will show up. I'm apprehensive, since when we
play a good D, the gameplan takes low scoring as a given (without ever testing the
opposing D), and we do the *play not to lose* O... which to me, is a heckuva a lot more of
a gamble, than playing aggressive O. Those close games can go either way, and all ya need
is one mistake, to blow the game. You may as well take your shots, at the very least, you
may get a few PI calls.
I'd like to see Keller out wide, with another TE playing, er, TE ;)

So I guess the most the Jets could do is not play Edwards at all for as
long as they think he should be punished.

It was kind of a similar situation, with Holmes in Pittsburgh. The Steelers ignored the
CBA, and suspended him, if I recall correctly.
So, the Jets could suspend him, if they wanted to, & fight it out with the *union* after
the fact. The Jets could also just make it as if it were a personnel decision, & just
make him an inactive, too. They won't, but they could.

Being in Central Jersey I got the Philly news announcement that Vick has now
been named the starter. They were interviewing folks around Center
City....they all felt as though he paid his price and as long as he could
bring them a winner he should start. So....if The Jets lose without
Braylon....I guess all will be forgiven :-)

The Pats signed Danny Woodhead on Saturday, and he could enter the
mix as the team's replacement for Faulk. There has been some chatter
about New England potentially trading for the Buffalo Bills' Marshawn
Lynch or the New York Giants' Brandon Jacobs, but ESPNBoston.com's
Mike Reiss writes that he can't see either of those players ending up
with the Patriots. Even if they did, neither back is a viable third-
down option, so such a trade wouldn't solve the team's Faulk problem.
For now, it looks like Woodhead could join the Pats' sizable RB
rotation.

Jets may be better off without Edwards
September, 21, 2010
By John Fisher
If New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards is unable to play this
weekend, what will the effect be on the Jets offense? Quarterback Mark
Sanchez completed less than 54 percent of his passes as a rookie last
year, but is up over 60 percent through two games this season. And
that could improve even more WITHOUT Edwards.
The Jets had only three players who were targeted more than 26 times
last season, and Edwards had the lowest catch percentage of the three.
Jerricho Cotchery caught 60 percent of the passes thrown his way,
while Dustin Keller hauled in more than 56 percent. Edwards caught
exactly half of the 70 passes that were intended for him as a Jet.
Most interceptions as targeted receiver in 2009
Calvin Johnson DET 11
Steve Smith CAR 11
Braylon Edwards NYJ 10
Antonio Bryant TB 10
Reggie Wayne IND 10
And with Sanchez being second in the league in interceptions thrown
last season, expect an improvement in that area as well. Only two
players in the entire league were the target on more of their
quarterback's interceptions than Edwards was last season. And since
the beginning of 2008, only Calvin Johnson (22) has seen more picks on
passes thrown his way than Edwards (19).
In fact, Sanchez had a higher passer rating when targeting 10
different receivers last year than he did when throwing the ball
Edwards' way.
On top of all that, only one player – Kansas City Chiefs WR Dwayne
Bowe with 23 – has dropped more passes since the start of 2008 than
the 21 that Edwards has had go through his hands.
_____________________________________________________
I guess that Cotch becomes the #1?

Historically, Light has been owned by Taylor. The only guy he's fared
worse against over the years was Schobel.
I don't remember the sack fumble exactly, but supposedly it was only a 3
man rush and IIRC Taylor beat Light on the inside with a spin. I wonder
if this could have been an instance where not having Mankins hurt? I
don't remember if Connolly was engaged or not, and who knows what the
blocking assignments were?
