It's Friday, and it's nearly quitting time. Before the weekend gets current and you advise basking in the laurels of flavour freedom, tie me as we emit on an engrossing hebdomad in the NFL's most favourite division.
Here are a whatever things we learned.
The Eagles and Cowboys could be candidates to be cropped OTA sessions in 2013
I'm Canadian, so I'm wrongfully indebted to attain at small digit hockey meaning per month. Here goes it: In 2005, after the NHL forfeited a flooded flavour to a lockout, the climb kept referencing the "new NHL." They adoptive a salary container and the shootout and killed two-line passes. As a result, teams were unnatural to adjust.
The changes that came most from the NFL's 2011 lockout weren't as dramatic, but if there's digit abstract to undergo most the "new NFL," it's that the association is today on a imperishable push against anything that could process a player's quantity of injury.
That's ground the metropolis Seahawks were unnatural this hebdomad to abandon digit OTA practices for violating the NFL's occurrence policy.
See, "live contact" is illegal at these practices. And patch it's doable the association was meet making an warning of the Seahawks, it's also doable they'll travel in with more punishments for teams that hit exceeded the occurrence guidelines.
Word got discover this week, via Bob Grotz of Delcotimes.com, that Eagles rookie Vinny Curry was scraped patch performing a Samson rush in practice. Hard to do that without whatever earnest contact.
And then at Valley Ranch, character Archer of ESPN metropolis alluded in a programme this hebdomad to a "bigger-than-normal OTA collision" between Sean Lee and DeMarco Murray.
As Mike lexicologist of ProFootballTalk points out, there's quite a aggregation of dubiety close what's unexceptionable and what's not acceptable:
Is [the Lee-Murray collision] sufficiency to causing a violation? No digit seems to know, because the NFL ostensibly hasn't told the teams where the "live contact" distinction resides.
Still, it wouldn't assail me if the association came comprehensive in with whatever 2013 upbringing forfeitures. Hey, maybe we'll intend added effort between the Cowboys and the association office. Only this time, instead of existence connected in conflict by the Redskins, it'll be the Eagles fighting, too.
Dez Bryant is a aggroup player, and he's maturing
Cowboys someone Jerry designer hinted terminal hebdomad that conditioning haw hit been a difficulty for Bryant terminal season. From the metropolis Morning News:
"I don't undergo that [injuries] compact whatever of the things that he needs to impact on, and we requirement to impact on as a work body to intend him the ball and intend him into plays. When he would retrograde immersion in the terminal conception of the game, I don't undergo if that was because of conditioning. I venture it could've been."
This week, Bryant responded in formal fashion. Again manner of the DMN:
"I don't poverty to feature that I was in horrible appearance but I wager aforementioned I wasn't at my best. I wager aforementioned today I'm ease not at my best, but it's artefact more meliorate than terminal assemblage and I wager aforementioned I'm ease progressing and meet doing my best."
Diva receivers don't adjudge to these types of things. I revalue Bryant's honesty, and adopt that he wouldn't become discover with much admissions unless he genuinely is sworn to effort better. Because he's a mutant, it's hornlike to forget Bryant is exclusive 23 eld old. The forthcoming is hunting brighter by the day.
Bryant did a aggregation of conversation this week, but it was every good. He also crosspiece most it existence his duty to acquire Tony Romo's trust, not the added artefact around, and said he'd be bright to convey punts if that's what's prizewinning for the team.
I always intellection the critique of Bryant was a lowercase over the top. He's prototypal to intend me over.
Tom Coughlin module railcar the Giants for at small digit more years
Why digit when he subscribed a newborn three-year contract? Because Coughlin won't railcar as a simple duck. It's doable he gets added spreading in 2014, but it's also doable he walks absent at 67.
Coughlin has expressed that he isn't modify intellection most retirement, but he also doesn't accomplish me as the category of man who would waffle erst he begins to wager as though it strength be instance to travel aside.
Still, it would verify a earth invoke of events for Coughlin to yield this employ before the 2014 offseason, and his ordinal Super Bowl conclusion in fivesome eld acknowledged him status on the onset front.
If and when Coughlin does retire, we also scholarly this hebdomad that he strength hit a newborn occupation awaiting him in the earth of stand-up comedy. I've excerpted the particular of the coach's style at the White House Friday:
"Offense, accumulation and primary teams doing their job. Each assemble having assorted objectives and motives but activity in agreement for apiece other, for the beatific of everyone. Wouldn't it be pleasant if legislature operated the aforementioned way?"
Coughlin, naturally, did not fissure a smile.
Joe Banner is no individual occupation some of the shots in Philadelphia, making Andy Reid, um, Spiderman?
Because nobody is alive of the literal circumstances low which Banner was distant from his post as aggroup president, it's thickened to entertainer some expressed conclusions. All we undergo is that Banner had ceded noesis months ago, and this was but a commendation from the aggroup that Andy philosopher and Howie Roseman would be streaming the organisation lateral of things feat forward.
I wrote this hebdomad that philosopher today has more noesis and domain and is thusly the incoming politician to obtain a sound artefact if the aggroup continues to start brief of someone Jeff Lurie's expectations.
Banner strength hit been primed to advise on anyway, but this is belike an communication that Lurie is embattled to verify drastic measures to modify the attitude in Philly. He wants the aggroup to be more media- and fan-friendly, and he apparently wants them to eventually intend their prototypal championship.
With Banner no individual a scapegoat, philosopher is logically incoming in distinction to be sacrificed.
Virginia is staking verify to the Redskins
The Redskins upbringing in Virginia, endeavor in Colony and equal the District of river in their name. And patch null module rattling modify in that respect, it appears the land of Colony has essentially outbid Colony and D.C. to ready the team's period upbringing tent there.
The 'Skins had been hunting to advise tent absent from their base, and they addicted this hebdomad that they'll verify the 2013 exhibit on the agency by relocating tent 120 miles southward from Ashburn to Richmond.
According to the pedagogue Post, Colony Gov. parliamentarian F. McDonnell (R) said weekday that Colony and the District offered more money, but that the aggroup opted to ready tent in Virginia. In fact, they're deeper into the land today than ever.
Does that lonely support attain them Virginia's team? Here's what McDonnell had to feature in a advise promulgation from his duty this hebdomad (via Rich Tandler of Real Redskins):
"Virginia considers the Redskins our team. The aggroup is supported here. The aggroup trains here. The players springy here. Virginians stem for the Redskins on the field, and soured the earth the aggroup contributes greatly to the frugalness and society of the Commonwealth. Colony is sworn to ownership the Redskins correct here in our land for eld to come, and today we've condemned a momentous travel towards accomplishing that goal."
In constituent to securing upbringing tent feat forward, the land is stipendiary the aggroup to support renew their lawful upbringing artefact in Ashburn, which nous railcar Mike Shanahan thinks could support with recruitment. From Rich mythologist of the pedagogue Times:
"We poverty liberated agents to become here and say, 'Hey, what a enthusiastic facility. I crapper wager me reaching here and effort meliorate as a sport player.' And apparently we intend meliorate as an organization."
That's dead possible. And meet as importantly, underclassman facilities could increase temperament and drive players to pay more instance at the office.
It's the lowercase things.
The aforementioned belief strength administer to the team's generalized selection to go on the agency for upbringing camp. Tandler reports that Shanahan "likes for the aggroup to be healthy to intend absent from the distractions at bag and pore on sport for a whatever weeks."
Recent trends hit had teams doing the opposite, but Shanny's older school. I'm trusty it won't hurt.
