I read yesterday where Fox was convinced that Smith jawing on the sideline last week was at Sharper for the out of bounds hit. Anyone else calling BS on that and that he was jawing at Davidson to "not call that stupid play anymore"?

Fox flat out lies. Then he gets all hissy when someone calls him out on it.

Well we'll just agree to disagree on Smith. Football is about 11 guys, not one. Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, Steve Smith...all great athletes who do phenomenal things on the field. And all guys I would never want on my team. And so you don't think I'm picking on black guys, I'll give you a white guy who fit this mold...that DE from the Jets, Gastineau. Same deal.

Most teams have some unsavories. Some even killers. The Rams have had Leonard Little on their roster for years......

I have no idea how in good conscience you can support that team.

how many times did it happen to you? or was one time enough?

Never happened to me. Just saw it happen several times with the media. And the sad part was it was totally unnecessary. One week a guy who used to cover the team caught him in one and called him out on it. He went ballistic.

Sounds like a personal problem. Maybe in the film room Fox tries to suger coat what they are doing and when a player steps up and points something out that is different from what Fox sees as ideal, Fox jumps up and starts going crazy.

Fox would be a great politician.

Nah. It was over an injury. Fox used to play a little game with the media over injuries (may still, for all I know). He'd smirk whenever asked and say he didn't have MD after his name, yadda yadda yadda. These press conferences are on Monday. Then he started saying he didn't know anything. The reporter knew this player had had some kind of test Sunday night. Now if you are the head coach, don't you think you're going to be the first to know what the status of one of your star players is, soon as the doctors look him over? One of the writers called him out on it and Fox got all pissy. Just tell the truth...."we don't have to report injuries until Wednesday and for strategic purposes that's how I'm going to handle it." Make that your standard reply. When you're sitting there making a game out of telling the truth, you lose credibility. And to get all huffy because someone's calling you out on it....you put yourself in that position by lying in the first place.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
