Maybe if Marrone started getting fined for his players stupidity he'd start taking care of business.

Here we go again. "Taking care of business". What does that even mean?

That taunting penalty especially - when the guys are in the film room reviewing the plays, guys like Calais need to tell the kids that shooting yourselves in the foot hurt the D, and set them up for failure. Ramsey may need to start dialing it back if he sees the younger guys feeding off his jawing, if they don't know where the line in the sand is drawn.

Coaches can say all they want about dumb choices killing a drive or giving the opposition a second chance, but if the guys don't buy in collectively, coaches will be wasting their breath.

Bingo. I don't think a coach can do more than be emphatic that it will not be tolerated. But that only goes so far. You still want your best players out there. You try and draft good players who do not have a reputation of being idiots or jerks.

Best of my knowledge Myles Jack has never been known for being an idiot or jerk.

Is there any chance of the league suspending Jack. He'll certainly be fined.

This was the first time Jack has ever been tossed from a game.

Jack apologized after the game and said it wouldn't ever happen again. He basically just said that he got caught up in the moment and was in the wrong. He said that he was heated because Watkins gave him a cheap shot under the chin, then stood over him and said some stuff. That's why he got up and got right into Watkins' face, but then he got what he felt was another cheap shot by the push in the back. That's when he punched dude who pushed him from behind etc etc.

Fined most definitely. Don't know if he'll be suspended or not. He did miss most of that game because of it.

I can't remember, did Fournette get suspended for him throwing a punch/fighting against the Bills last year?
