New policy requires on-field players, personnel to stand for anthem

Regardless of what side of the argument you're on, it seems like a reasonable agreement.  You can stay in the locker room if you want to and do whatever you want during the anthem.  No penalty or repercussions.  But if you're on the field during the anthem, you stand.

Both sides win.

/Issue

I wonder which side will be the first to take issue with a good old fashioned compromise?

Yeah. Peppers did this last year too.

I have a better idea: don't get your panties in a wad over what someone else does during the national anthem. The real failure of American freedom is our inability to allow others to practice theirs in a way we disagree with without feeling like we have to vehemently abuse ours in retaliation. And that is how all of our "freedoms" end up as a farce.

Now we just need a league personnel that works on the sideline to announce that he/she is a Jehovah's Witness or other religion that does not stand for the flag and this new policy, which effects league personel as well as the players, is discriminatory to his/her religious beliefs to blow this policy up. Make it all one big poo show.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
