Not one fight in camp this year....not a punch thrown

[Rules&Regulations]

Were there punches thrown last year?

[Jmac]

I believe smith and Mitchell started a couple...not with each other though..think hardy also if I remember right

[AU-panther]

The lack of tempo that Jeremy alluded to concerns me more then the absence of fighting.

I heard today Denver had three fights in the span of four plays.

I like how are team does it

The biggest thing to me is the difference between us and atl last year when cam got hit late by the rams and Jordan pushed back and stuck up for him. Our whole team then systematically destroyed them both mentally and physically. The falcons meanwhile left Ryan to nitchellmself up.

I just want our guys to legitimately stick up for each other and have each other's backs in a game. I shudder to think of what kb would do if someone hit cam late or hurt him.

i don't think there will be that differemce between last year and this one, in fact i think it will be stronger. the team, from my limited perspective, is more unified than it has been in a long time. i don't see as many "me against the world" players and mindsets as i have "us against the world". with smitty and capt and mitchell and some others the mindset was "i've got something to prove". the pervasive language that i have heard from interviews with even the new and rookies is "we have something to prove". in some cases it might be whole position groups, but still it's more "we" than "i".

That's good to hear that NOBODY threw a punch.

I'm looking at you, Norman.

I agree, I'm glad that's the kind of tough our team is. There's nothing better than seeing a scuffle in a game where our whole team jumps in to stand up for someone.

Good discipline. no 15 yard penalties

[Mother Grabber]

good leadership on both sides with Superman and Clark Kent.

Yeah but we tried that in the San Fran game and lost our composure.

Definitely a fine line between standing up and getting out of your game. We found it against St Louis but lost it in the playoffs.

I think it was an emphasis after some players lost their cool in the playoffs.

I remember one player shoving a CB then throwing the ball at him and Rivera chewing hin out because that is a 15 yard penalty

[ItsPantone278]

Throwing a punch at a teammate in practice is about as dumb and immature thing you can do as a grown man in the NFL.

[CPF4LIFE]

i'm not worried about the intensity, tho. it will be there when the real bullets start flying.

 

Thing is i just dont want to get into another 0-3 start when it does, I hope we can come out swinging for a change this season. It would say a lot.

[Jeremy Igo]

The individual one on one linemen drills got heated, and I felt like punches would be thrown (was hoping for it) but they never were. The coaches did a good job of shutting it down.

 

 

The cool weather probably had just as much to do with the peace as anything.
