This isn't the shack, so I cannot express the feelings I have about the NFL right now.

Great, we are screwed.
C'mon man, we've done pretty well with those 5th rounders, so it's not inconsequential. I guess they wanted us to abide by the no-helmets rule so they could test out their new concussion-protocol policy.Hawk_Nation":1b5zp8rm said:So we just lost out on our Future Pro Bowl LT who is currently lined up as a DT for a division 2 school.

You have GOT to be kidding me.
The League has no problems putting the players at risk with having 4 full contact pre-season games.Aros":8lrfdsuj said:Pete wants to cultivate a culture of competition even at the risk of bending the rules. I am okay with it. It's actually a silly rule if you think about it. Who cares if there's physical contact in June? Dumb.
Agree, but the Hawks apparently did appeal and the 'process' is over.chet380":yw3vmnym said:White Devil":yw3vmnym said:Here's where the fine comes from

Is there any evidence that the coaches encouraged the helmetless players to "fight" for the ball or did this incident simply arise from the players' competitiveness? If not, this should be appealable.

The body needs to be conditioned to the physicality of the sport.
Injuries are a part of the game, but so is contact. You're not going to stop injuries by limiting contact.
Unbelievable. Fined and penalized for practicing in today's world.

I'm no expert but I think this rule was put into the CBA by the players and their union.
Could be totally off base on this though.

No, no, no, no, no. Please don't equate the crap that the cheating Gregg Williams did with the Saints defense to any fine we've been assessed. Williams is a scum bag and continues to teach questionable practices with the Rams defense in my opinion.El Caliente":331e9juo said:As a Saints fan I feel your pain.
