Re: Jaydon Mickens sleeping in his car for a few weeks as a PS member: He said he was leery of damaging his credit and/or wasting a ton of money if he signed a lease on an apt and then got cut the next day. He knew how volatile being on the Practice Squad can be and signing something abnormal like a one month lease can be appallingly expensive.

Not saying I would not have tried to do something better than sleeping in my car, but I can understand why he didnt immediately go sign a year lease on an apt.

I'm surprised some teams don't have on on-site or at least close by "dorm" of some sort for practice squad guys as part of their contract.


I mean, I'm not really surprised because lol NFL but it would be a good idea.

Nah. There needs to be clear cut rules to apply to these situations that can be called on the fly and potentially determined in 90 seconds. The current rule leads to a few bad outcomes, but the outcomes are correct according to the rules.

A lot of other proposed ideas including the old football move standard may result in some of the current bad results going in a way that people want, but at the same time introduce their own problems.

I'm not arguing that the current rule is perfect, but rather is a better rule given the current setup of the game. It is better to have rigid rules than to give room for interpretation.

Some other Packers fans have reminded me that this isn't even the first time Thomas Davis annihilated a Packers receiver. He ended the career of Terrence Murphy in 2005 by crushing him on a kickoff return.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=2417145

quote:

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers have released wide receiver Terrence Murphy after he failed to recover from a bruised spinal cord sustained in a game against Carolina last Oct. 3 when he was hit helmet-to-helmet by the Panthers' Thomas Davis on a kickoff return.

Two games were not enough. If the NFL is actually serious about stopping hits like these, they have to be severe with the punishments. Four games first offense, whole season second offense, expulsion from the NFL third offense. That's how you get players to stop. Two games, one game, they'll just not worry about it until it actually does happen, then they'll talk about how they totally didn't mean to hurt someone and they're full of regret.

The NFL is not serious about stopping hits like these.

Basically, the "do 50 drunks in a bar agree on X", standard for NFL rules.

I have never wished injury on a player before, but maybe Petty could get the flu or a really bad cramp.

Even with the strict interpretation of the rule, it's still subject to the people ruling on it, and in this instance ( and others), it lead to a game changing outcome with significant consequences. It's not good optics, and the rule has caused more problems than it has solved

Lol you Pats fans really hate hearing that the refs handed you a game, even after giving up a 69 yard catch and run, setting up the go-ahead score with under 30 seconds left in the game. It literally took taking points off of the scoreboard for you to win. Nothing is going to change that
