Dungy: NFL needs to restrict New England’s substitution game

[doesntmatter1]

We don't even have as many receiving options compared to some teams and people still complain. 70% goes to Edelman and Gronk and then the rest go to Lafell and Vereen. If your defense can't cover Hooman/Amendola quality receivers, you aren't going to win whether we substitute or not.

No, it's just another form of

Yeah, "Quiet Strength" except when he was pumping in fake crowd noise. There's the torch bearer of ethics, huh?

“It is nothing but an intent to deceive and they are doing it very well."

LOL. So there's no place for deception in the NFL? Absurd.

Edit: Love Kyed's tweet linking to the story:

Tony Dungy suggests cheating to combat Patriots' non-cheating eligible/ineligible tactics: http://wp.me/p14QSB-9H4p

I mean, come on.

Dungy needs a sammich.

 

[FrodoBagginz]

I remember the 2004 game where Dungy and the Colts attempted to deceive. I forget the details but the Colts where flagged because Manning was moving even though he became an eligible receiver. And the deceiving play failed.

@ProFootballTalk hard to believe he is advocating cheating as a response to something that is legal, at least for the moment.

 

[juny]

Unless Blandino says something about the Solder TD, he needs to stay quiet

 

[bruce_w]

Sound advice "Reverend"

He is a defensive head coach. Provide a solution for the defense and prove your worth. Not ask to fake injuries or change rules. Same old colt ****. whine whine.

An overrated defensive coach. His defensive system was basically, "Hope Freeney's spin move gets to the QB in time."

That and "hope Bob Sanders is healthy to play the Patriots."

 

[PP2]

He says he would coach his team to fake injuries to buy time.

"Dungy said that, if he were coaching the Seahawks, he’d reluctantly tell the players to fake defensive injuries in the Super Bowl to counter New England’s tactic.

“It’s something I’m totally against doing but I would certainly tell my players to do it rather than have the NFL issue an apology the next day after we lost a Super Bowl,” Dungy said, adding he would do it only as a last resort."

The guy is a ****ing idiot. He's complaining about them "cheating," but having players fake injuries would actually make him the real cheater.

Someone feed Tony Dungy a cheeseburger before he keels over and dies. Come on coach, at least eat half of it.

He really has become strange looking ... sort of alien-like.

 

[PATS16N0]

Don't you guys see what's happening here?

This is a running league. That's what football is. The league needs to put an end to this pass-happy craziness because it's destroying football. Hopefully Bill Walsh is suspended because what he's doing is unethical and against the spirit of the game.

Just hike the ball and run draw play after draw play like everybody else.

Tony Dungy = Grant Hill's dad

Or Gargoyle-like...

I am just flabbergasted with all these colts and ex-colts coming out of the woods and being a pain in the ass during superbowl week.

Well I guess that they are jealous that they drafted the QB God himself, Manning, with the first pick in the draft, and that we took a QB in the 6th round. And we have been to the super bowl 4 more times than them since then, and have 2 more rings. That's gotta sting a bit.

 

[DarrylS]

Maybe he can get the NFL Competition Committee to draft rules special for BB coached teams...

Talk about BB getting free rent in his brain, there ought to be compensation..

Tony Dungy ?@TonyDungy
Yesterday on ProFootballTalk I said I might tell players 2 fake injury versus Patriots substitutions. TOTALLY wrong on my part. I apologize!
