Just as I thought. New Head coach being watched over to make sure he doesn't break the rules. KC, Chargers or the Donks sent in the complaint...

Yea it is amazing. Someone should send an auditor to Denver and look over the books cus their math don't add up.

Bill Soliday over the years have been very impartial and reports facts. I belive him, espn is trying to find a story where there is none.

Ive heard rumblings for weeks about teams OTA's not being up to the standard set by the NFLPA.

It simply came down to who can we penalize who will make the biggest news story.

I like that this incident has created an "Us against the world" mentality. It gives the players another reason to band together behind Kiffin. Can't wait until July 27th when the intensity gets raised to 10!

**Weathers51** · #23 (**permalink**) 06-17-2007, 08:00 AM

Although I think it is something that this team will turn into a positive, I can understand why the NFLPA istrying to make a statement. If I am not mistaken, there are players at camp who are not under contract. If any of these guys were to get injured in contact drills, the team probably owes them nothing. Just trying to keep the players healthy is all. Still love the talk of the intensity though. Can't wait for the season.

Nice post Calico. This is defintely being turned into a positive if you read my new sig. It is us against the world cus we are the only ones that can make us better.

I knew it wasn't a player

yep, thats what i also thought when i heard about the NFL penalizing us, they'll also be looking closely at other teams such as the Seahawks etc as well.

its a business, and if an uncontracted guy gets injured in OTAs, we dont pay them anything ... so its fair enough to say that we should keep the contact stuff to training camp.
