VIDEO: Jets assistant coach trips Dolphins player
(CBS Image via Newsday.com)
The New York Jets are going to get a call from the league office regarding a sideline incident involving a member of their coaching staff … and surprisingly, it has nothing to do with Rex Ryan! Well, not directly anyway, but it certainly reflects negatively on the head coach and the culture he’s fostered surrounding this ball club.
During the third quarter of today’s 10-6 loss to the Dolphins, New York strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi intentionally tripped Dolphins CB Nolan Caroll while he was sprinting downfield on punt coverage. The Miami gunner was two yards deep on the Jets sideline when Alosi stuck out his left knee and took Carroll out. Watch below:
Carroll – who had an interception earlier in the game – was shaken up on the play, but returned to the game later. Afterward, Alosi issued an apology and said he’s prepared for any punishment that’s coming his way (cough *you’re fired* cough):

Rex Ryan is as crazy as the ol’ man!
Like father, like son ... right down to the man-boobs and turkey neck
Remember how batshit crazy Buddy Ryan was? Remember when he would rip into Tom Landry, in an effort to stoke the flames of division rivalry? Remember when he was with the Houston Oilers and punched Kevin Gilbride – a member of his own coaching staff – in the face on the sidelines during a game (if not, video after the jump)?!? Well, it looks like the apple don’t fall too far from the turnip truck, if you know what I mean.
Rookie New York Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan is already stirring up trouble in the AFC East, and is deeply embroiled in a war of words with Dolphins LB Channing Crowder. It all started when Ryan made a seemingly innocuous statement that he wasn’t afraid of anyone in the division:
“I never came here to kiss Bill Belichick’s rings,” Ryan said in an interview on WFAN. “I came here to win, let’s put it that way…. I’m certainly not intimidated by New England or anybody else.”
And even though he didn’t mention anything specifically about the Dolphins, Crowder took offense to the fact that Ryan was calling out the Patriots, not Miami – the defending AFC East Champs – as the team to beat in the division.
Crowder fired back at Ryan:
“Oh he’s going crazy. He’s going absolutely nuts,” Crowder said. “I know it’s his first chance to be a head coach, and I know he’s excited about life. But I’ve never played a football game in June in my life. So congratulations to him. He’s the OTA Super Bowl winner.”
Zing!!!
Your play, Mr. Ryan:
“I don’t know this Channing Crowder. All I know is that he’s all tatted up, so I guess I ought to be nervous about him. If I was younger, I’d probably handle him myself.”
Alright! Now we’re approaching junior high school level!!
