True2tRA Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Ha! I love it...he doesn't like scuffles... For the past 7 years all the posts have been about wanting more physical practices with that "get in your face" attitude and scuffles to keep people in line. I don't care how he does it...just win freaking games. But lets not pretend like 99%* of the posts were about how the team need that Jason Peter(s) and Grant Wi(n)trom type to kick asses on the practice field. *That % is hyperbole We don't know what the scuffle was about. Context could be important here. It's one thing to fight because you hate the guy and you want to hurt him or kick his ass. It's another to get in a guys face or rough him up because you question his effort or are trying to motivate the guy. Not saying that was the case at all today but I know in the past some of those glory days scuffles were just the way the leaders went about holding guys accountable. Of course, some of them did hate each other and wanted to kick the crap out of each other. Riley's been at it a long time and I'm sure he dealt with this quite a bit. I'm sure he knows what he's doing. Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Said he likes the spirit, but it's something that will get you penalized and get you kicked out of games, so he doesn't like guys practicing something that would be bad for the team. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Makes sense. I guess I see both sides of it. I don't mind guys getting into scuffles depending on their motives. Sometimes different people need to be motivated in different ways. If I'm the coach, I'd probably let some things play out but keep it controlled. Like I said though, it's his team.

Count 'Bility Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Probably best Mike Riley didn't attend any practices here circa 1995. You mean the fights that were totally unacceptable to your Jesus Osborne as well? Not to mention, as god damn mentally weak and childish and undisciplined this team has played like over the past few years, I happen to think that a teaching moment like this to explain and coach the players how to harnass such an aggresive and antagonistic attitude into something productive is nothing short of common sense. Not to mention, football now a days isnt just a beat you up sport. it's a thinking mans game. A big time thinking mans game. Runnin around like a moron pickin fights just cuz you think youre some Jack Lambert wannabe tough guys dont get you sh#t in terms of W's. Quote Link to comment

I have no issues with guys getting after it in practice. If it crosses that line of being tossed from a game then obviously it is too far. Quote Link to comment
