And we will be very aggressive on this during the season. Our playoffs were threatened, too.
It's depressing hearing the crusty 35-year-vets at an association meeting (I belong to 3 and run the meetings this year for 1 of them) tonight talking about "tolerance" and "not going in with guns (flag) a-blazing." Of course, this is all driven by not wanting to pi$$ off the guys who rate them and their precious crews.

I simply don't care. We'll mention it in the pregame with the coaches, I'll have our wings remind them postgame, and they'll get one warning -- the sideline warning. After that, it costs them yardage.

If we're consistent from the first game, this will not be a problem at all within a week or two. And this moment reminds me why it's overboard to belong to 3 groups, too.
