joewilly12 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 NFL forces Patriots to wear numbered jerseys at practice Posted by Michael David Smith on June 12, 2016, 8:27 AM EDT AP For the last few years, Patriots coach Bill Belichick has had his team practice in the summer without numbered jerseys. But this year, the NFL put a stop to the practice. Mike Reiss of ESPN reports that the NFL instituted a new rule requiring all players to wear jersey numbers while on the field for Organized Team Activities and mandatory minicamps. The rule was put in place to make it easier to monitor compliance with rules regarding player practices, including that injured players should not be practicing. Belichick liked having his players practice without jerseys early in the offseason program because he thought it enhanced communication between players, forcing them to get to know each other by looking at more than just a jersey number. It’s a tactic Belichick learned from studying Hall of Fame Steelers coach Chuck Noll, who always had his players wear jerseys without numbers in practice. It’s the second consecutive year that the NFL has changed a rule regarding jersey numbers in response to something the Patriots did; last year the league changed the rules about eligible receivers wearing ineligible numbers after the Ravens complained about a trick play the Patriots used.

Mainejet Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Who cares? They are still going to win the division hands down for the umpteenth year. The Jets are their greatest opponent within the division and we won't even come close to even a .500 record this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better2bgreenthanblue Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 What a joke! This is the league trying to look "tough" on the Pats*. Crackdown on some BS like not wairing numbers...meantime God knows what tricks Belli has up his sleeve to gain an advantage this year...magicians divert your attention to create their "magic". if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying hard enough - Patriot Way.

PatsFanTX Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 ask TX about it In 1986, Pats lost a 3rd round pick for illegal use of the injured reserved list. No team in the NFL has ever lost a draft pick over the weekly injury report list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second is that the Raiders were docked a pick for same offense in the early 80's (i.e. using injured reserve to avoid having to waive a healthy player).

I couldn’t find anything on which of the players were sequestered, but the 1978 Raiders were headed up by head coach John Madden and quarterback Ken Stabler. They finished the season with a 9-7 record and were second in the AFC West. The team didn’t appear in the playoffs that season. Just an interesting thing to look back on since it’s actually NOT the Raiders who are being the first team in the NFL getting the severe punishment of lost draft picks. And even when they did, it wasn’t for infractions that are as dire as those committed by the Patriots. But then again, who’s as awful as the Patriots are…?

Before that, the Raiders lost a 4th round pick for what is usually described in online summaries as "evading roster limits". They evaded roster limits by stashing healthy players on their injured reserve list. Same thing the Patriots got tagged for in 1986 for stashing the great Derwin Williams. (As an aside, wtf do they mean by sequestering? Were the Raiders having jury trials back then or something)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
