In addition policies have been put into place that will keep team information secretive in order to keep teams from gaining game planning advantage.\u00c2\u00a0 These changes have been welcomed by the followers of the New York Jets.\u00c2\u00a0 At what point can a coach take things too far? And at what point does an inexperienced coach start to lose his players?<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>\n<!--more-->Case in point:\u00c2\u00a0 On Friday night D\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Brickashaw Ferguson committed two false start penalties while playing with the first string offense.\u00c2\u00a0 He was quickly removed from the first string and benched to think about his mistakes.\u00c2\u00a0 Ferguson was then sent back on the field later in the game with the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> string offenses to get some reps. I understand that the coach was trying to get his point across but what if D\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Brickashaw got hurt? What message is being sent then to the team with your starting left tackle out for the year?<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>\nThere is a fine line between disciplining a player to get a point across and making a move that jeopardizes the success of the team.\u00c2\u00a0 Could anyone imagine the backlash if Ferguson got hurt in the 4<sup>th<\/sup> quarter of a preseason game? And more importantly what would be the reaction inside the locker room?\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>\nCoach Mangini can keep the players from talking to the media, but he cannot stop them from talking to each other as well as other players across the NFL.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 In order for a coach to win in the NFL, he must have the trust and respect of his players.\u00c2\u00a0 It appears to me that Eric Mangini is walking the line with some of his bold powerful moves and hopefully he understands the long-term implications of his decisions.\u00c2\u00a0 The new coach must remember that respect is not given it is earned and no one cares about who your mentor is but they care more about what your win\/loss record is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tyson Rauch\u00c2\u00a0 The National Football League is known as a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153copycat league\u00e2\u20ac? and it appears that the head coach of the New York Jets is copying some of the procedures of his mentors.\u00c2\u00a0 Many of the processes are aimed at building team discipline, conditioning and competition.
