What is amazing is that these players are saying this now. During training camp all they could do was praise it, and how great it was, etc.

NOW.....they don't have a grasp of it yet. Oh...but wait.....training camp broke early, instead of them getting a grasp, of what they say they don't have a grasp of now.

Amazing................ :eek:

have you noticed that mr peppers stands around with his hands on his hips, so his knees wont get hurt

What? I'm pretty sure athletes put their hands on their hips after plays to help them breathe deeper, it puts less pressure on their lungs. How that would protect their knees I have no idea.

When you start hearing that "time" is needed to adjust to a new defensive system, buckle in.

Rex Ryan brought a new defensive system to the Jets. How much time has it taken them to learn it?

FOX Quote, “There's no question that injuries have been problematic,” coach John Fox said Monday. “They were through preseason and they've continued into the regular season. But it happens to different teams at different times.

“As I told the team today, I think we got set back a little bit.”

This sounds more like an enabler justifying poor play than a coach looking for excellence. Any coach that has absolutely ZERO depth on both lines when the season starts has no room to make any excuses when an injury occurs.
