mountainwampus Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 link I don't see this as MJD drama but as a smart coaching move. It's a great way to encourage teamwork and selflessness. I'm scared. SJ is already talking about pushing the envelope with his end zone celebrations. I can't help but think, why has Chan not taken a stand against celebrating?

BarkLessWagMore Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 so benching Stevie wasn't taking a stand? Maybe Chan is just one of those coaches who handles team business behind closed doors, as teams have done for decades. Me personally, I'd prefer that to following the lead of Mularkey, who strikes me as a bit of an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that MJD and Josh Scobee are the only 2 players on their roster that regularly scores, I don't see this being an issue for them. And please shut up about Stevie's celebrations. So sick of hearing about it. He's not that bad !!! Edited August 16, 2012 by FleaMoulds80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJ is already talking about pushing the envelope with his end zone celebrations. I can't help but think, why has Chan not taken a stand against celebrating? I love Stevie's enthusiasm, effort and his love for being on this team. I can't believe that he's searching for new ways to celebrate. Thurman Thomas needs to sit him down and talk to him about what Levy told him after his first TD celebration... "you need to act like you've been there before"... if this team is going to be serious on becoming a winner, TD celebrations need to be de-emphasized. I used to love TTs simple flick of the ball to the referee. It basically said... no big deal, I'll be here 2 more times today!

Luxy312 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 My perspective on this is pretty simple. I don't mind celebrating a big play on offense or on defense. I do get tired though of all of the time and effort that some players spend coming up with what that celebration will be. If their level of play suffers because they're too worried about what their next end zone or sack stunt will be, then Gailey should take action.

FleaMoulds80 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) I think you guys are blowing Stevie's celebrations way out of proportion. Like I pointed out in another thread, his TD celebrations aren't as bad as YOU GUYS AND THE MEDIA ARE MAKING THEM OUT TO BE. Sure his Plax celebration was moronic but outside of that, none of his celebrations deserved a penalty. He dances and jumps into the crowd. WOW. He's such a bad person. My perspective on this is pretty simple. I don't mind celebrating a big play on offense or on defense. I do get tired though of all of the time and effort that some players spend coming up with what that celebration will be. If their level of play suffers because they're too worried about what their next end zone or sack stunt will be, then Gailey should take action. I highly doubt that Stevie's brainstorming will affect his ability to play. Really people? I say if it doesn't hurt the team, let him do whatever he wants. Who cares.

He has no intention of stopping from what I've gathered. He just wants to make the celebrations as elaborate as possible without getting flagged.

He's also talked about stepping up and playing better and stepping up his game. He's talking about improving himself and getting more YAC yds. Team needs to imrpove....Whoopty fckin doo. If he doesn't get penalized and he constantly scores TD's, why the fck should u or anybody else care what he does to celebrate? Just means he's getting the job done and celebrating. I hope he gets in the endzone 15 times this year and dances his azz off just to piss people like u off.

BuffBill Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) I am kinda old fashioned when it comes to end zone celebrations, but I don't mind a little dancing, jumping into the stands, etc. Where I would draw the line with Stevie or anyone, is the preplanned B.S. The writing on the tee shirts, signs, etc. deserve fines, suspensions or whatever. If they keep to what just naturally occurs with the excitement of the moment, it is tolerable. When I grew up one of my favorite players was Billy "White Shoes" Johnson because of the crazy dances along with electric returns, but he didn't go too far in my opinion. As long as Stevie keeps it to a short dance and/or jumping in the stands thats cool, once he does another t-shirt or preplanned act like the Burress stunt, I hope Chan keeps him out for a couple games this time. I really hope there comes a time when Stevie grows up, it is all about immaturity and wanting attention all the time. Someone should sit him in a locked room and make his watch hours of film of Andre Reed and how he scored touchdowns and acted professional.

FleaMoulds80 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Mularkey needs to shut up and focus more on improving upon on his 28th ranked scoring offense than TD celebrations. Scobee and MJD accounted for 159 of their 243 points total points. That should be the last of his worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Tell SJ to dance on the sidelines. No reason to take chances in the endzone. This season is incredibly important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he gets in the endzone 15 times this year and dances his azz off just to piss people like u off. Nobody has a problem with him jumping into the stands or doing a little dance, except that he has done and plans to do more elaborate things and the league doesn't want that. Everyone should care when his celebrations get flagged like they have in the past, cause its a dumb move that only hurts the team. When he is talking in the media about planning new celebrations (and them being borderline possible penalties) the league is going to keep an eye on him and be more likely to flag him for doing any type of celebration in the endzone. The guy appears to want to be the new Ocho Cinco in the league, remember when Ocho was trying to get more elaborate with his celebrations? Before the Bills game a few years back near christmas he talked about hitting a deer and was gonna use it as part of his next celebration. The league warned him and watched him like a hawk on the sidelines after he scored. Its time "Little Stevie" grows up and realise that its much better (and classier) to get on the highlight reel because of the TD catch itself, then for doing some stupid celebration (or blaming your drop on God) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FleaMoulds80 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=672nipSBn54 To all those btching and crying. Look at his 2011 TD highlights and point out what he's done so bad outside the Plax celebration? A fake spike. Jumps into the crowd, does his mixing dance, hands the ball to ref, heavens forbid!!!

CodeMonkey Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Gailey did do something as others have mentioned. Plus you need to remember that football has no inherent value on it's own, it is strictly entertainment. Dancing and prancing like a giddy schoolgirl is entertaining to a lot of people.

mountainwampus Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 I only mentioned this because Stevie was talking about sitting in the stands as long as possible and eating popcorn on the John Murphy show. If Chan started a team policy that encouraged players to not celebrate, I think it would effectively solve the issue. The benching didn't really solve anything and it won't in the future because they can't afford to not have SJ on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 It doesn't matter if we think he's "done so bad", it matters what the refs think. We can't afford the penalties, so he needs to keep that in mind. If he celebrates without penalties, then awesome, go have fun. But as soon as you start getting penalized, it's time to curtail things a bit. I think that is pretty reasonable and not "btching and crying".
