blzrul Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 12 penalties * 10 pushups = 170 and "10 or so" could be anything. I think they need more conditioning anyway, the injuries are appalling, so throw in some more stuff while you're at it, Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Jerky Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) @buffalobills Rex: We'll have the team do 10 push-ups or so at practice when a penalty is called to show it impacts everyone. OK, I get the point of showing it impacts everyone. But 10 pushups? Seriously? For pro football players? Surely these guys can toss off 10 pushups like nothing. How about 1 pushup - per penalized yard? Maybe 183 pushups would get their attention. 15 penalties 150 pushups after a day of training... You forget these guys are beat up and injured for most of the week. Edited October 7, 2015 by Beef Jerky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 A quick google search shows he's had some success with the pushups http://espn.go.com/newyork/nfl/story/_/id/9714460/rex-ryan-newyork-jets-brings-back-pushups-penalties-provision Not really. Still always in the bottom half in penalized. His Jets and Ravens (DC) have had 20 penalty games. Penalties in practice (and subsequent pushups) are meaningless. Why not just fine them per penalty in games? Teams can fine players, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 There were 8 teams in week 4 that had double digit penalties. 5 of the 8 won and 2 of the 3 that didn't win went to OT and nearly won. There is nothing wrong with addressing it but it is a wee bit overblown by the media. Jets had 14 penalties on Sunday for 163, 28 more yards in penalties than the Bills. Bowles really has that team disciplined, right? Probably Rex's fault! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan_34 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) They better at least be 4 count---my mil peeps will get that. I would rather see suspensions---Hughes comes to mind. Edited October 7, 2015 by billsfan_34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we're averaging around ~15 penalties a game, so assuming practice has a similar rate you're looking at 150 a day.

shane nelson Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Not sure if you have seen this video from the closed night practice. No wonder the players love Rex.

MDH Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Why not just fine them per penalty in games? Teams can fine players, no? Pretty sure the CBA wouldn't allow this. They can't just fine them for whatever they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Pretty sure the CBA wouldn't allow this. They can't just fine them for whatever they want. In the past coaches could fine players. But it was chump change. Docking a player a game check that habitually gets personal fouls like Hughes Would work wonders. here's hoping that Kyle got in his face this week.

machine gun kelly Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I say you make the whole team, offense, defense and ST do the 10 push ups. Let the players police each other. That will change fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I hope they took away dessert too! It sounds silly, but you have to do SOMETHING, and it couldn't hurt. Make them accountable. It's the hot headed personal fouls that bother me the most, but they ALL make you a little crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 They should have to sing the shout song while doing push-ups. That worked for me in basic training. Doing push-ups is one thing, but singing while doing it gets you winded pretty fast. Now this I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgang Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I think Rex should be the only one to do the push-ups. CBA problem solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 There's only so much you can do within the confines of the CBA with stuff like this. Probably even up-downs would be a no-go. Seriously? The CBA covers stuff like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
