Another reason I took the advice of many on this board and switched to National Football Post for my football info. I know this story is about the hated Jets but it's a reach on PFT's part and Salguero's part as well who originally wrote the story for the Miami paper. But PFT is making it a bigger deal by getting in on it on their site.

WESTHOFF HAS INTEL ON THE FINS?
Posted by Mike Florio on September 2, 2008, 11:00 a.m. EDT
Armando Salguero raises an intriguing point regarding the return of special teams coach Mike Westhoff to the New York Jets.
Westhoff resigned from the Jets after the 2007 season due to medical reasons. While recovering, he attended several Dolphins practices.
“So he got an up-close and personal view of Miami’s practice, personnel and preparations,” Salguero explains.
Though no one has done anything wrong on this one, it’s unusual that the typically secretive Bill Parcells would have allowed something like this to go down. Our guess is that Parcells was merely being charitable with a guy who had to leave the game for reasons beyond his control, not realizing that Westhoff might surface again with the very team that the Fins will play twice this year, including at home in Week One.
Still, the right thing for the Jets to do at this point would be to ask Westhoff nothing about what he saw while he was at Miami practices. Though the special-teams aspects are something Westhoff isn’t likely to forget as he does his job with the team, the Jets shouldn’t try to pick his brain as to other stuff that he witnessed while watching the team practice.
Then again, maybe Parcells knew damn well what was happening and he had the team do stuff on the days Westhoff was present that the team has no plans of doing this season.
