But, sorry Adam, if sideline tiffs with Bill Belichick were an Olympic sport, you’d have to settle for bronze. And that’s just among three notable Belichickian Battles witnessed by this observer going back to Week 1 of the 1992 season. In the Vikings’ 24-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday, Thielen took vehement offense when Patriots safety Patrick Chung suddenly collapsed because of an injury at precisely the moment Belichick needed more time to study the homefield replay board and challenge the spot on a fourth-and-1 play. Not that the Patriots bend the rules or anything (wink, wink), but it did look somewhat suspect. So Thielen exploded with objection about 10 yards from Belichick. Lip readers have said Belichick told Thielen to shut the heck up. Or something to that effect. What happened next wouldn’t have happened in the early ’90s in Cleveland: one of Belichick’s players stepping in to defend him. This kind of player devotion tends to happen more often when you’re not an arrogant, unproven 39-year-old but a 66-year-old living legend with a record five Super Bowls and more wins than anyone not named Shula or Halas. It was Kyle Van Noy who got in Thielen’s face as the latter jabbed an accusatory finger in Belichick’s direction. “I thought that was the coolest thing that KV had Bill’s back right away,” said Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty. “Bill’s fiery. We see it every day, so I think it’s probably a lot cooler for [the media] to see it.” Thielen will be happy to know the silver medalist in sideline Belichickian Battles is Hall of Famer Cris Carter. On Dec. 9, 1995, Belichick’s Browns were at the Metrodome putting together a 27-11 loss five weeks after it was announced they’d be moving to Baltimore the following season. Linebacker Mike Caldwell was flagged for a late hit on Carter near the Browns sideline. Carter objected as passionately as only Carter could. Indications were Belichick questioned Carter’s toughness in unflattering terms. Carter and Belichick got into a heated back and forth. “He used words that I don’t agree with, that I don’t use when I talk to another human being,” Carter said after the game. “I just wanted to let him know that he can’t talk to me that way. That’s probably part of the reason why his team is in the position it’s in. “You have to treat people like people. That’s one of the things that he’s had a hard time doing. He has a lot of talent, but he has no type of personality to deal with individuals.” Belichick later denied he said anything to Carter to start the exchange. And the gold medal in the sideline Belichickian Battles goes to Reggie Langhorne, yet another receiver and the first player Belichick had a run-in with as a 39-year-old rookie head coach in Cleveland in 1991. Langhorne was one of the popular veterans on an aging 3-13 team Belichick inherited. Like many of them, he didn’t like or respect Belichick. As their feud boiled over early that season, Belichick confronted Langhorne and accused him of not hustling in practice. Langhorne countered by refusing to come out of the locker room for the start of practice. Belichick wanted to demote him to the practice squad. Langhorne refused and was fined $15,000 and told he wouldn’t be making that week’s trip to New York to play the Giants. That cost him another $30,000. After the season, Belichick put Langhorne on the team’s Plan B free agency list, calling him the “most selfish player I’ve ever coached.” The Colts signed Langhorne. And guess who the Colts opened with at home on Sept. 6, 1992? Yep, the Browns. The Colts sacked Bernie Kosar 11 times. They were leading 7-3 in the third quarter when Mark Herrmann threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to — you guessed it — Langhorne. Langhorne turned toward the Cleveland sideline, said some choice words and then whipped the ball at Belichick. He wouldn’t elaborate after the Colts’ 14-3 win. He just smiled and said, “If you’d have caught me after the touchdown and heard the things I was saying, you might have gotten a good quote.” PUBLICATION: Star Tribune DATE: 12/5/18 Vikings film review: Missed chances in New England lead to dud from Cousins, WR duo By Andrew Krammer Deep inside Gillette Stadium on Sunday night, Stefon Diggs retreated from the crowd. After declining to be interviewed, with a few choice words, emotions finally simmered below the surface. Diggs sat alone on the floor in the entrance of the visitor’s locker room following the Vikings’ 24-10 loss in New England. It was the empty calm following a low the Vikings hadn’t experienced in 27 games. The Patriots defense had just held Diggs and receiver Adam Thielen to the duo’s worst production (a combined 10 catches for 77 yards and a touchdown) in a losing effort since last year’s Week 2 trip to Pittsburgh, where quarterback Case Keenum made a rusty first start for the Vikings. Tempers flared in every direction: at opposing coaches, players, officials and teammates. Diggs, with a brace on his left knee, was shadowed by Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore nearly everywhere he went. Thielen was doubled on key plays by the McCourty twins. That game plan, combined with creative pre-snap disguises and defensive fronts, helped attack the Vikings’ strength that is one of the NFL’s best receiving duos. Quarterback Kirk Cousins had chances, but either he or the receiver (Thielen had two drops) missed them. The offense was unable to effectively adjust. “They were giving us a lot of really unorthodox looks defensively,” head coach Mike Zimmer said Monday. Let’s take a look at why the Vikings’ heavily-used passing game fell flat in New England. 1. Pressure report: The Patriots’ blitzes were the story of the game out of Boston media. But really, Cousins wasn’t awful against extra rushers. Against 10 blitzes, Cousins completed 6 of 9 passes for 62 yards and four first downs. One incompletion was a Thielen drop. He did take one critical sack on this third-and-5 to open the fourth quarter. But the O-line gave him little time on this play below. The Vikings offensive line’s issues against twists (or ‘stunts’) by opposing defensive fronts has been on display throughout this season.

  • New York Giants 2012 Season Recap 2012 New York Giants
    NEW YORK GIANTS 2012 SEASON RECAP The 2012 Giants finished 9-7 and in second place in the NFC East. It was the eighth consecutive season in which the Giants finished .500 or better, their longest such streak since they played 10 seasons in a row without a losing record from 1954-63. The Giants finished with a winning record for the third consecutive season, the first time they had done that since 1988-90 (when they were 10-6, 12-4, 13-3). Despite extending those streaks, they did not earn a postseason berth. The Giants lost control of their playoff destiny with back-to-back late-season defeats in Atlanta and Baltimore. They routed Philadelphia in their finale, but soon learned they were eliminated when Chicago beat Detroit. The Giants compiled numerous impressive statistics in 2012. They scored 429 points, the second-highest total in franchise history; the 1963 Giants scored 448. The 2012 season was the fifth in the 88-year history of the franchise in which the Giants scored more than 400 points. The Giants scored a franchise- record 278 points at home, shattering the old mark of 248, set in 2007. In their last three home games – victories over Green Bay, New Orleans and Philadelphia – the Giants scored 38, 52 and 42 points. The 2012 team allowed an NFL-low 20 sacks. The Giants were fourth in the NFL in both takeaways (35, four more than they had in 2011) and turnover differential (plus-14, a significant improvement over 2011’s plus-7). The plus-14 was the Giants’ best turnover differential since they were plus-25 in 1997.

  • Miami Dolphins Machen Dowell Loggains Zum Neuen OC
    Miami Dolphins machen Dowell Loggains zum neuen OC Nachdem Dowell Loggains von den Chicago Bears entlassen wurde, griffen die Miami Dolphins zu und machten ihn am Freitag offiziell zu ihrem neuen Offensive- Coordinator. Loggains arbeitete mit dem aktuellen Headcoach der Miami Dolphins, Adam Gase, bereits bei den Chicago Bears zusammen. Dort war Loggains als Quarterback-Coach angestellt, bevor er nach dem Abgang von Adam Gase nach Miami zum Offensive-Coordinator befördert wurde. Der 37-jährige Loggains begann seine NFL-Coaching Karriere als Quality-Control- Coordinator 2008 bei den Tennessee Titans. 2010 wurde er zum Quarterback Coach und 2012 zum Offensive-Coordinator befördert. Loggains verbrachte 2014 ein Jahr als Quarterback Coach bei den Browns bevor er sich 2015 den Chicago Bears unter Assistenztrainer Adam Gase anschloss. Dennoch wird Headcoach Adam Gase voraussichtlich weiterhin der Play Caller in Miami bleiben. Loggains letzten zwei Jahre in Chicago frustrierte die meisten Bears Fans. So hörte man immer wieder, dass seine Offense geprägt war von konservativem, fantasielosem, unproduktivem Play-Calling. Der Headcoach der Miami Dolphins glaubt jedoch daran, dass die Untauglichkeit von Loggains’ Offensive mehr an dem Mangel an Playmakern lag als an fehlerhaftem Spieldesign des jungen Coachs. Dennoch sieht man wohl auch an dem Move von Loggains zu den Dolphins, dass sich Connections und Freundschaften in der NFL definitiv auszahlen können. Doch die Einstellung von Dowell Loggains war nicht die einzige Veränderung im Front Office der Dolphins. Nach der abgelaufenen Saison hat sich so einiges getan im Coaching Staff. So machten die Dolphins ihren ehemaligen Offensive- Coordinator zum neuen Director of Football and Player Development und entließen ihren Runningback Coach Danny Barrett, Defensive Line Coach Terrell Williams und Defensive Back Coach Lou Anarumo.
