I'm curious to see how this plays out. I feel like NFL players should be professional enough to recognize the line between hot chick/coach, but the real story is: Can a chick come in and make an impact coaching a group of men, or will this be Ines Sainz 2.0?

Cooley touched on this the other day. His opinion is that (1) she is a position coach so they have to listen in some respect; and (2) if she can talk football and technique, guys will listen.

he compared it to when a 26 year old Sean Mcvay was named his TE coach. he said mcvay could talk football with the best of them, super smart and that was all Cooley cared about.

i keep hearing these huge compliments re mcvay, from all types of people. seems like we got ourselves a savant on our hands.

I've heard a number of media folks saying the same thing (ESPN's Robert Flores and Matt Williamson; and Ross Tucker).

Yup. It wasn't like he was tearing it up prior to his suspension.

Agree. I think he gets hit with the indefinite suspension this go around. Hell, if they won't allow Blackmon back in, no way should they allow this idiot.

We just signed Junior so why not Smith?:doh::laughing-

Re: NFL Training Camp thread!
 

If I was making the kind of money Aldon Smith was and liked to drink 24-7 I would hire myself a permanent designated driver. He could afford to have a limousine take him wherever he wanted and wait outside for him. Getting an 8 game suspension wasn't enough for him to wise up. Pretty sad case.

Re: NFL Training Camp thread!
 

6m give or take is a pretty hefty......bar tab, Aldon

Going to be a long year for the 49ers. Imagine having plopped down all that cash for those seat licenses for the new stadium only to have your team suck balls....lol

A touching speech by his daughter. I think it's really stupid the HoF doesn't allow others to give a speech for deceased individuals. It's a useless policy.

Re: NFL Training Camp thread!
 

Jets having some bad luck. However, as bad as Geno is, this might be a blessing in disguise.



On another note, the teams with the most arrests the past 5 years.

Should we pick him up?

Re: NFL Training Camp thread!
 

sucker punching is such horse crap. look the person in the eyes and handle it like a man.

''It had nothing to do with football,'' Bowles said. ''It was something very childish, and he got cold-cocked, sucker-punched - whatever you want to call it - in the jaw.''

Bowles wouldn't go into detail about the nature of the altercation, except to say: ''It was something very childish, that sixth-graders could have talked about. It had no reason for happening.''

Re: NFL Training Camp thread!
 

Hopefully nobody picks up the kid that hit Geno. Let him sit out at least a year. Gotta think the league will suspend him too.

If this was a good player the Jets wouldn't have cut him. A la Michael Westbrook.

Re: NFL Training Camp thread!
 

I think the story behind the punch is this:


[quote]At the heart of the dispute between former Jets LB IK Enemkpali and quarterback Geno Smith is $600 that Enemkpali believed Smith owed him, per league sources. Enemkpali purchased a plane ticket for Smith to attend his July 11 football camp at Pfugerville High School in Pfugerville, Texas. However, days before the camp, a person close to Smith was killed in a motorcycle accident in Miami and Smith did not attend Enemkpali’s camp, per sources. After Smith did not attend, Enemkpali demanded that the Jets’ quarterback refund him the $600 he allegedly used to purchase a plane ticket. Smith told Enemkpali he would reimburse him the money, but he did not. Enkempali confronted Smith today about the money and the confrontation ended in a punch and broken jaw.[/quote]


Darrelle Revis holds them both accountable. So it looks like Geno isn't purely innocent here.(even though not deserving of a punch to the face)

[url]https://twitter.com/NFL/status/631211727640731653[/url]


I think this says a lot about what the teammates think of Geno. Could you imagine somebody popping Brady, Rodgers or Manning in the jaw? I don't think they'd be in that situation to be honest with you.

I doubt the League will interfere with this. I'm sure stuff like this happens a bit (minus the fractured jaw though).

Assault in the locker room and the league won't blink? What NFL have you been watching since Goodell took over? lol

This has personal conduct policy written all over it.

Re: NFL Training Camp thread!
 

I would have to think that maybe the guy who punched Geno is probably done in the NFL, talented or not. It was on a story earlier today that he was arrested also during college for punching an off-duty police officer - probably the only thing that kept him from going to jail.

I guess NFL teams are never going to learn. They keep signing these players who are criminals / have legal issues, etc...

Hard to see another team signing that guy after that although I could be wrong.

I like the mention of what would happen if someone punched Manning / Rogers / Brady etc.. Like someone else said i don't see those QB's putting themselves in a position like that....
