FoxJet Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Jets | Not all players enjoy working for Mangini Sun, 3 Sep 2006 07:40:40 -0700 Randy Lange, of the Bergen Record, reports not all the New York Jets players are happy playing for new head coach Eric Mangini. He came to town with a well-formed plan for how to build a winning NFL operation, which included a tough training camp, a multitude of rules and a template for what he wanted from his players, all of which have left some veterans in foul moods as the new season approaches. If the Jets start out slow, it's going to get ugly," said a person familiar with players on the roster. "The word is they don't like playing for this guy." "Any coach, you're going to respect," said one player who requested anonymity. "He's your head coach. He was brought here for a reason. You've got to respect him. But certain things aren't necessary to gain that respect. It's not necessary to punish people." There are also the Mangini rules, and the fines for violating those rules. Players can be docked for missing media sessions but also for talking with reporters "after hours." Being deemed critical of teammates or coaches can also carry fines that have prompted several players to decline to answer even positive questions about teammates. In general, many players have commented about the grinding nature of training camp. Even though there were only six two-a-day sessions, practices averaged 2 hours, 23 minutes and left those players with dead legs. Jets | Trading Coles looks like speculation Sun, 3 Sep 2006 07:09:53 -0700 Mark Cannizzaro, of the New York Post, reports New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini shot down speculation the team was looking to trade WR Laveranues Coles. "Laveranues is a member of the New York Jets. I have said several times all the things I like about Laveranues and his toughness, which he shows week in and week out, his ability to catch ball in traffic, the things he does in running game," said Mangini Saturday, Sept. 2. Jets | Deal for Branch dead in their eyes? Sun, 3 Sep 2006 07:08:46 -0700 Mark Cannizzaro, of the New York Post, reports highly placed New York Jets' sources have told The Post that the WR Deion Branch trade with the New England Patriots is "dead" mostly because the Patriots are asking for way too much, at least a first-round draft pick. "He's under contract with another club and I respect their privacy and his privacy," head coach Eric Mangini said. "That's a matter for them to work out. I'm focused on the guys we have."

Maxman Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Any player who doesn't like it -- well that is just too damn bad. This franchise has not won in 40 years. We are all sick of it. You are getting paid a lot of money and they are holding people accountable. We tried the alternative. It did not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Tuff Tiddy indeed... The BBQ is taking place in Kansas City. We'll see how that pans out there, it didn't bring any rings here. I'm sure most of the players don't appreciate 100% of the new way of doing business. I'm anxious to see what it does here as I believe the principles work.

The Troll Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 **** them. The free ride is over. I guarantee Mangini has a very good idea who this blurb is talking about and they will NOT be back next season. One of the most important things for this new regime is to weed out the pussies, complainers, and crybabies. Lord knows Edwards left a team chock-full of them.

L.S. Dylan Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 These guys who complain are just spoiled little girls. What happened to the fire of wanting to win ball games? So what if we don't win right off the bat. Hard work pays off and the harder you work the easier you win. Tough coaches are what make you better.

SeniorFlaJet Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 LOL...these guys never reveal their sources. True but can anyone say that the motive behind this article isn't a backlash from a reporter who hasn't been given access to the Jets that he had for the previous five years. And if the players are so afraid of Mangini that they won't even talk about their teamates in a postive light risk going to this one reporter on a condition of anonymity. Did that player think that lange was going to the police and have a swat team come in and save them?? Mangini isn't going to change and they better get used to it. Don't like it ask to be traded. Now I like Lange. he is one of the better beat writers. But there are ways to ask him questions that can make him very uneasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviot Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Eric Mangini is the type of no-nonsense coach the Jets desparately needed, after this franchise has gotten into such a loser mentality, here's a guy who's smart, tough, and has a plan to make the Jets winners. It may not be this year, or even next year, but we're heading in the right direction, after all those lollygagging herm edwards years.. Any player who has a problem with that should be shipped, just like that seahawks coach got rid of all the guys that laughed when he said 'we're here to win a super bowl' the first year of the hawks' franchise. If the players think Mangini's too tough, they should shut up, and suck it up, and maybe start listening to what the man has to say.. they're making millions of dollars and have a job that most people will kill to have.. it's about time they stopped complaining and started playing for real.. The fans are sick of this nonsense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 So Mawae, do the players still hate Mangini?[/quote Judging by Coles comments after the game yesterday, I think the players have bought into Mangini's system, and the hard work. Coles has been Mangini's biggest in house critic. To paraphrase, he said that the players played a lil harder because Lil Bill had dissed their coach.

dbatesman Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 To paraphrase, he said that the players played a lil harder because Lil Bill had dissed their coach. My favorite part of yesterday's win. The guys are buying in. I think that Mangini could become a guy who these players would run through a wall for.
