The NFL suspended New York Jets strength coach Sal Alosi for the rest of the regular season and the playoffs without pay for his intentional tripping of Miami Dolphins cornerback Nolan Carroll on Sunday. He was also fined $25,000.

Some people feel that his punishment is too harsh while others think it should be more severe.. what are your thoughts?
 
Its hard to say, because I have no idea what he makes. But $25k on a strength coach seems brutal. Like if he's making even 100k, your going to take away a quarter of his living??? Thats why I think sometimes suspensions need to be a % of your pay.

So I think that is way too brutal depending on what he makes.

However, the timeline is not severe enough. This clown should be BANNED from the NFL FOREVER!!! I cannot believe his suspension could essentially be 3 games (if jets miss playoffs)?? Are you kidding me??? I would want him gone forever, but 3 games is a total joke. What he did was one of the worst things I've ever seen in sports (And yes, that is including when Mike Milbury, a hockey player, went into the stands to fight some fans! Even that was face to face, not this cheap shot).

....and I feel a deeper look needs to be taken at what was set up on that sideline with the 5 Jet Coaches side by side ,elbow to elbow. The Jets need their punishment now along with the Head Coach.


-- Jets Accused of Forming Human Wall on the Sideline to Influence Gunners --
Tue Dec 14, 2010 --from FFMastermind.com​
ESPNNewYork.com’s Rich Cimini reports former Miami Dolphins MLB Zach Thomas accused the New York Jets of deliberately forming a human wall on their sideline to influence the Dolphins' gunner, CB/KR Nolan Carroll. The unfortunate episode became a national story because Carroll was purposely tripped by Sal Alosi, the Jets' strength and conditioning coach, but Thomas is part of a growing faction that believes Alosi wasn't acting alone. "They had to be ordered to stand there because they're foot to foot," Thomas said Tuesday on Miami radio station WQAM. "There's four of them, side to side -- five of them, I mean -- on the edge of the coach's zone. They're only out there to restrict the space of the gunner. "But there's more to it because I'm telling you, the only thing [Alosi] did wrong was intentionally put that knee out there. If he just stood there, there would never have been a problem, even if the guy got tripped. But there's more to this. He was ordered to stand there. No one is foot to foot on the sideline in the coach's box."

This human wall thing intrigues me. When watching the footage of the trip, I couldn't help but notice none of those guys were clearing a path. If he hadn't admitted to tripping, I'd almost think Alosi was just bracing himself in order to hold position. I'm going to try to pay attention to what sideline players usually do when gunners are over there, because seemed really odd to me.
 
Alosi update:
Jets suspend Alosi indefinitely! The team found "new information" that the Alosi "instructed" five players to stand in a wall before he tripped Dolphins Nolan Carroll...
 
Nice post Scout..That said, its BS. Alosi didnt magically decide to do that on his own. They got caught, and he is falling on the sword for the brass.
