Brees believes Saints’ coaches are scared to stand up to the NFL

WhoDat!656 · 06-26-2012, 03:19 PM

The four players suspended in the Saints’ bounty program are loudly proclaiming that the NFL’s decision was unfair, and that they’re not done fighting. But the other four men suspended in the Saints’ bounty program have accepted their punishments and apologized. So why the difference?

Saints quarterback Drew Brees says it’s because former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, coach Sean Payton, General Manager Mickey Loomis and assistant head coach Joe Vitt fear that standing up to the NFL would only make things worse.

Not hard to believe...

The coach's suspensions do not end, they have to be reinstated by the same person that suspended them and heard their appeal in the first place.

Why else would the coaches be silent almost the entire time.

And that's exactly what Roger wants, which is why he left it open-ended with them...ALL of them...which the media and other observers seem to have missed. Sean's suspension is one year but it's subject to the all mighty's review, so he has to keep quiet. Roger is such a *****.

Our coaches don't have to say jack crap. There is a reason why there's a NFLPA. No need to dig themselves in a deeper hole by saying something the media could twist in a negative light. The coaches aren't protected by anyone but their lawyers and they're doing exactly what they're suppose to .

Please Drew... don't whine about the coaches not speaking out on behalf of the players. I don't see any of these guys clamoring about the injustice of the suspensions our coaches are facing.

Coaches - let their lawyers do their jobs.
Players - let the NFLPA do their jobs.

Drew - I'm already sick hearing about this bounty crap... I don't need to hear it from you too. STFU and get in the negotiating room.

Drew isn't complaining about the coaches. He knows the coaches would speak up if they could. He is saying that the league has the coaches by the balls and won't allow them to tell the truth openly your the grip would tighten.

Yea... I know. I'm just a little frustrated. He's complaining about the coaches not being able to voice their opinion... not about the coaches themselves. Had to take it out on somebody and he's my scapegoat.

Still...

I'm not taking that back.

I know papz, but this just still all a part of the process. Nothing needs to be done before July 16th. Throw down a Turbo Dog and relax.

No scapegoat is needed here. Nothing is lost. Chill, friend.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
