Sal alosi, was caught doing more then tripping, he had the players create a wall by the sidelines every punt. Now he is suspended indefinitely.

Lets pretend that Alosi didn't extend his knee. Would "creating the wall" still be a big deal?

It would be a violation of the rules. They were clearly in the area where only coaches and players about to be substituted are supposed to be located. I remembered seeing a chart showing that information (I have an old copy of the NFL rulebook, but can't put my hands on it), and eventually found this description: Boston Sports Media WatchWho Ordered The Jets "Sideline Wall?" Boston Sports Media Watch

However, I don't believe that it would be a huge deal. I doubt that there would be fines involved. Instead, there'd be a letter from the NFL reminding players to keep out of that area, and a penalty (I'm guessing 15 yards) if caught doing it during the game.

Reviving this post because of a point I had forgotten to make: who do you think will win this year's Offensive & Defensive ROY honors?

I had made it a caveat abot three weeks ago that if either St. Louis or Tampa reach the playoffs, whichever one, the OFF. ROY would either go to Sam Bradford (St. Louis) or to Mike Williams (Tampa Bay) because of the recognition either team would get since last year, when neither team even won three games all season..

At this stage however, it seems all but assured Sam Bradford will get the nod and the award, in my estimation. However the DEF. ROY ballot is still open-ended enough to warrant discussion on which rookie's play was exceptional enough to be better than all the rest in the class; who do you suppose that is? In my opinion, either Cleveland defensive back institution (T.J. Ward, S, and Joe Haden, CB) could be on the final ballot, as well as Philly's Nate Allen, S, and perhaps Oakland's Rolando McClain, LB. The runaway first ballot nominee, however, might be the eventual winner de facto: Detriot's Ndamukong Suh, DT.

Thoughts, additions, concerns?

-- (to note: I have tried to list this year's rookie crop in order of impact in their respective divisions, by level of production on the field, and the importance to which their individual role factors into the team as a playmaker.
A subjective listing - feel free to add any commentary.)

- - - - -

additional(s):
(*) UDFA (undrafted free agent) Rookie Acquisition AND/OR [half-]second-year player.
(#) unespecially notables, either due to: sporadic team production, sub-par starter's performance (i.e., not very good, save for one or two instances all season) and/or lingering injuries. Two [##] means so long as the rookie started maybe two games, and an okay outing in one of them, they qualify. Basically, they're The Replacements.

Note: I tried to figure at least one offensive and defensive player on each team, yet some are just shown with a caveat (they may have had 1 average game and 1 great, promising day, but have been inconsistent in all others). With some teams (like the NE Patriots) I decided to showcase only the 5most prominent rookie contributors. That team is DEEP with young talent. All teams are capped at a maximum of five bright rookies to watch for, but not all teams met the minimum requirements of two (1 OFF., 1 DEF.).

-- The above listing was aided by the following resources: 1, 2, & 3.

I see no one has posted here in some time. Let's liven up the place a little. Playoff predictions? To make things interesting, I'm willing to hand out $25 out of my own pocket (I'm poor) to whoever can go 11-0. Only rule is that you have to be a full fledged member (500+ posts?) to qualify.

Saints (-10.5) at Seahawks
Jets at Indy (-2.5)
Ravens (-2.5) at Chiefs
Green Bay at Philadelphia (-2.5)

My picks are Saints, Jets, Ravens, Eagles.

I also want to add, fuck Andrew Luck. He's going back to school instead of getting drafted by the Panthers next year. He's an idiot though. If he goes pro now, he can make a ton more before the lockout happens.

This made up for my terrible predictions yesterday at the UFC in spades!

I have no definable emotion at this point, but for the second year in a row (or... since I've started this pre-season ritual) I have correctly predicted the Super Bowl Winning Team.

I did it before most of the other "sports analysts/experts", but it still feels good to be ~~right~~ WIN!
