 Tony Dungy appeared on the "Dan Patrick Show" Monday morning and said that the Colts had Incognito on their "DNDC" draft list (do not draft due to character, Dungy explains) in 2005 when Incognito was coming out because of character concerns. Former NFL general manager Scott Pioli said on "NBC Sunday Night" that the Patriots had a similar designation for him.

can we bring tyler brayton out of retirement for one week when we play the dolphins just in case they bring him back

that would be a great idea. i loved that guy.

 

If I had to guess, this should sort itself out.  Incognito's a FA after this season and I can't see any team touching him with a ten foot pole after all of this.

seems like a jeff fisher kind of guy.

 

I guess it's just the culture. Especially lineman. Always the biggest guys in the room and no one tries to mess with them. But at somepoint you have to stick up for yourself.

he did stick up for himself. that's how all this came out. he decided it was enough and is doing something now that is far more damaging to incognito than an ass whipping and can do some damage to the organization that allowed it to continue.

Anyone that blames Jonathan Martin in this needs to look in the mirror and think about their priorities. Think about their morals. The tough guy act only goes so far. At some point we all deserve to be treated as human beings and we shouldn't have to fight our way out of trouble.

 

I don't consider this a racism issue but it is a hate issue. Some day Incognito is going to raise a little bully, he's going to retire and coach high school football and teach generation after generation how to bully. Those kids will take it out on our children, nieces, and nephews. And their children will take it out on our grandchildren. It's not right fug this tough guy man code bs.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
