Of course I don't want him taking a cheap shot, albeit, other than the no "full" tackling rule (... Bullshit) he hit a player that was making a catch. But again.. he probably shouldn't have laid him out.

But as a coach.. I would rather have to pull the reigns back on a struggling defense than trying to get them amp'd up to play.

No full hitting.. that is like giving a pit bull a bone and telling him to gum it only.. ;)

The most dangerous of the fights was the last and occurred after linebacker Brady Poppinga decleated running back Kregg Lumpkin just as he caught a pass on the sideline closest to the stands. Offensive linemen Jamon Meredith and T.J. Lang immediately went after Poppinga and a near melee ensued and spilled toward the railing in front of the stands.

I probably shouldn't even say this, but we were 6-10 last year and we didn't have a damn fight all training camp, So I guess we're off to a hell of a start.

I'm not looking for a player to be hurt when it's unnecessary.

So Coach, expand on this... when is it necessary? ;)



Is this the year our team takes on the personality of our coach? The tough guy, no none sense personality? I'd love for that to happen.

I love how two rookies were the ones to go and after Poppinga for the cheap shot. We are bringing in the right type of guys.
