Going to lose days next year as well.
College coach not knowing the rules.
Urban was slipping the players $100 bills in practice.
So much winning.
First in fines again....

Whatever he did, he must have done it twice to get double the fines of everyone else. $100k, that's going to leave a mark.
Journalism is a lost art. Then again, it is PFT/NBC.

So weve been wondering who would be the Dead Zone story and turns out its the HC!
Didnt know how FA works, doesnt know OTA rules. He knows we play Sunday's right?
If you ain't cheating you ain't trying.
Didn't Coughlin get fined for crap like this the first time around? I guess it happens.

One of the local journalists in Jacksonville is saying that they heard that the Jags violated the No contact rules in OTA's. It sounds like that might be one of the violations that happened. I did think it was bit odd how the media wasn't allowed to like at least half of the OTA's/practices. Things did seem a bit hush hush with the Jags. It felt like other teams were being covered and featured more.
John Reid on Twitter: "Source confirms Jaguars will be fined for violating non contact rule during OTAs" / Twitter
John Reid on Twitter: "Statement from Jaguars: ''We've been informed of the fines issued by the league and will accept the NFL discipline as it pertains to a contact violation during practice on June 1.''" / Twitter
The news about the fines/punishment is not something I like to see especially before training camp. I don't like that the Jags will lose OTA's days next year. They are a young team and need all of the practice they can get IMO.
About losing the OTA days, what is it really going to hurt honestly? A day or two of not stretching and slapping pads? They're trying to play/practice for a collision sport and get punished for a little contact? How counter-intuitive is that... You can't practice tackling somebody unless you actually tackle somebody. Can't practice blocking somebody unless you block somebody etc etc. There has to be contact in this game. Tackling a stationary pad onto another pad over and over is only going to do so much.
I get that their reasoning (which lets be real, they really don't care) for all the cut backs on contact/pads in practice is due to "player safety", but they aren't playing golf, or even a contact sport like basketball. Football is a collision sport. I highly doubt they were out there in full pads crushing each other on non media days during an OTA practice. Something would have leaked and gotten out if that was the case. It's nothing more than a stupid "rule" that the league put in to use for their player safety spiel.

Good, I want my DBs/WRs to be aggressive and not afraid to crack somebody. You play how you practice.
How much contact are we talking? Were the DBs actually hitting / tackling WRs? Or are we talking hand fighting, WRs pushing off on DBs, etc...?
I'm envisioning Arrested Development. "No touching!!!"

I doubt they were actually hitting/tackling, it was more likely just normal bump and run stuff, as well as body contact when going up into the air for the football etc. You know, normal football things but the NFL is getting soft because they claim to care about their player's safety.
Personally, I want my DBs to be hands on and physical, so this is a good thing imo. They've been saying that they want this Defense to be an aggressive attacking Defense. We might finally get it.
On to the next day of the "dead zone"
Go jags!
Meyer's going to find out who told on him.

Not really a surprise at all.
It was probably Tebow throwing those pythons around. A fine for each arm
Ohhhh,
physical contact.
I thought it was more along the lines of:

It's SOOOO bad. They should really hire a proofreader that made it out of 8th grade.
I'm good with fines for physicality...Khan should reimburse them. Missed OTA days in the future will hurt, maybe Urbs can setup some "off-site" work outs.
I've often thought they really shouldn't be running "reps" at OTA's because it's not really a practice. It's made for concentrating on drills, route-running, learning the playbook and new plays, and all around preparation.
It's kind of a joke if you can be out there, not in pads, running reps and the WR's and DB's can't even lock up, jam, etc. If they're that strict, it's more of a walk-through.
