Mark Sanchez has never been known as a vocal leader, but a fight at New York Jets training camp brought some fire out of the belly of the fourth-year quarterback. The drama started when cornerback D'Anton Lynn pushed running back Joe McKnight out of bounds during Monday's early practice. McKnight threw the ball at Lynn, the two went at each other, and soon around 20 players were piled on top of each other. Sanchez wasn't happy about it, and he spoke up. "There's no excuse for it. There's no throwing a ball at a teammate," the quarterback said, according to Jenny Vrentas of The Star-Ledger. "There's no shoving a guy out of bounds into the signs. One, it doesn't look good and two, it sends the wrong message to our team. We want to take care of our guys," he said. "You throw the ball at somebody in a game, you are going to get 15 yards. I don't know if that's a great habit to get into." Rex will address it. That's his call. ... But it's not helping us, that's for sure. I don't see how that makes us any better." Source: NFL.com
20 guys get involved in a two man scrum? Is this another Ryan organized bout? If not this team has a long way to go!
Props for Pastor Sanchez preaching the Good Word :icon_thumright: but is that the sound of ice cracking? May want a bit more success/allies before you take up the soap box, Mark. :icon_smile:
Some pushing and shoving and loud voices are a regular thing, sure, but 20 man brawls are not a common thing, and even less so twice in a few days.
most were just trying to get them seperated its not like they were all swingin at each other. Imo everything the jets do this year will be blown up cause the media is on there crap like white on rice
When your head coach is a ring leader, you shouldn't be surprised when your team looks like a circus.
