Jetfan13 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Rex Ryan made the Jets drop and give him 10. FoxSports.com reports New York's coach has had it with his team's undisciplined play, making defensive players who committed penalties Thursday stand and watch while the other 10 players did a set of push-ups around them. ''We had some tough love,'' Ryan said. ''We went back to grade school. The 10-pack of push-ups happened three times, according to defensive coordinator Mike Pettine and several players.''Whatever it takes to solve this, we're going to do,'' Ryan said. ''I know it's an old high school trick, but sometimes those old high school tricks still work on this level.'' The Jets committed 14 penalties in their season-opening 10-9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. The defense was called for seven penalties, although one was declined.''I just think with the number of penalties that we had, we wanted to have something just as a reminder,'' Pettine said. ''Just not talk about it. Something that the guys, they would know and give a little more thought to it.'' No one would reveal who the offenders were at practice, but the extra discipline made the session run about 10 minutes longer than usual. ''It was just a way of holding each other accountable,'' defensive end Vernon Gholston said. ''Obviously, going back to the game this past week with the penalties, one individual mistake could cost the rest of us. It was about putting that guy on display and having the others do the push-ups and let them do the suffering because you hurt the team if you have too many penalties.'' Defensive end Shaun Ellis said he had to do one set, but wasn't the cause of any.''Nah, I don't get penalties,'' he said with a smile. ''As long as I've been playing, you can count on one hand how many penalties I've had. I don't get penalties. Surprisingly for pro athletes, the players didn't question the punishment. ''Complaining isn't going to do anything for us, ''The way I looked at it was, 'Man, let's get down and do our 10 and get up and play again.''' Offensive players were also required to repeat plays until they were successful, particularly on third down. The Jets were 1 for 11 in that situation against the Ravens. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer reiterated that if someone fumbles during a game, they'll be pulled. Starting running back Shonn Greene didn't carry the ball in the second half after fumbling twice in the first half and losing one of them. Schottenheimer said other than quarterback Mark Sanchez, everyone is subject to that rule - even LaDainian Tomlinson. ''If L.T. puts it on the ground, he's coming out, too,'' Schottenheimer said.

billo83 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 hey genius, what if both backs fumble ? stupid rule hate it There is no minimum amount of plays that the player is pulled for, and is only pulled when he actually loses the ball. So theoretically Greene could be pulled for one series, and then if LT does the same he would be pulled in the next series and Greene goes back in. Phuck Schotty he is an idiot, that rule already cost us 1 game, how many more will he cost us. So when Holmes comes back and fumbles in the 1st quarter thats the end of him, yea ok I call bull sh*t on this douche he has no credibility left with us fans just get him out of here. Schotty is an idiot no doubt, but pulling Greene did not cost us the game. LT ran well, and the fact that there was no downfield passing is what cost us the game. Hell you could say Greene cost us the game because of his fumble, not because he was pulled. I think the rule is good as it makes the player held accountable. But I didn't think he should have been pulled for as long as he was. Maybe a series or two and then put him back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirlancemehlot Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Schotty also gives detention if players talk in the huddle--and if you're caught chewing gum...let's just say you'd better have enough for everybody. Man at first I thought we were being modeled after the rough-and-tumble Raiders of the 1970's. Now I think we're ghey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
