Patriots Formed Tripping Wall, Tried To Trip Jets Player In Week 2 (VIDEO)

Sal Alosi, the New York Jets strength and conditioning coach, tripped a Miami Dolphins player after ordering his players to form tripping wall in Week 14. When the NFL met with the team as part of its investigation, special teams coach Mike Westhoff claimed that other teams, including the New England Patriots, do similar sideline wall tactics.

On Sunday, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports showed video evidence of the Patriots forming a wall on the sideline during a punt return against the Jets in Week 2. Glazer pointed out that the last guy in the line of players attempts to trip a Jets player.

He also reported that the Jets found out about the Patriots strategy when a player they signed off the New England practice-squad, Shawn Crable, told them.

Alosi was suspended by the team and fined $25,000 for tripping Miami's Nolan Carroll. The NFL fined the Jets $100,000 for the incident and Westhoff's accusations.

I see a lot of words from Boston fans on these comments, but all I am seeming to read is "BLAH BLAH BLAH, I AM A SORE LOSER, BLAH BLAH BLAH"

Get over it, Boston dropped the World Series, the Super Bowl, and the NBA Championship for the 2010-2011 Seasons.

Haha. Cry about it.

1000 years from now: The early 21st century Patriots won the SB multiple times, and were also caught cheating multiple times. Asterisk.

More huffpo hate on Boston, now that Boston is THE sports city and will be for years to come. Deal with it losers.

What happened Sunday? Looks like your Pats will stay home in THE sports city while another team wins the SB.

Thank you for backing up my point whoever is monitoring these posts. By not allowing my post to go through, you have identified yourself as a jealous Boston sports fan hater.

These comments are HILARIOUS. Obviously everyone posting hates the Patriots because they are such a dominant team and they hate that their own teams probably go under 500 (HAHAHAHAHA).

So, I understand that it may be hard to have terrible sports teams, but just because you are envious of the best sports nation in the history of the world (Celtics, Red Sox, Patriots, and Bruins, who, combined, have won more titles than any other area in the US), doesn't mean you can throw out statements about the Patriots without any cajones to back them up.

And please don't reference the signal "scandal"; everyone knows it didn't actually happen the way the media portrayed it.

And shame on Faux Sports for reporting the "clearest" video ever shot. We realize you hate us for being liberal and smarter than you.

There is no excuse for using such a poor quality handi-cam video, particularly when Fox Sports has the original HD clip ready to link to:

Hmm...weren't the Patriots the team that was stealing play signals from the other teams??

I lost respect for them after that.

[atti]

They certainly were. Videotaping other teams' calls, if I remember correctly. Bad, bad Belichik.

[neo-moderate]

04:58 PM on 01/17/2011

I don't think it was that they were taping the calls (everyone does that) it's that they were doing it from a vantage point above the sidelines (from what I remember).

I could be wrong, it's happened before...

The "Patriots" are the Republicans of the NFL.

I couldn't have said it any better...Belicheck is like the Dick Cheney of the league...the nerve to admonish his guy and sit him out after knowing your(Beli) are are straight up fake...I wouldn't be surprised if he lost his team before this game by sitting Welker...they looked uninspired and Brady in my opinion hands been on the take the last 3 years..all of the sudden he gets real slow and dumb in the big game....

[abaybay]

So now that Coach B and Brady have lost three straight playoff games, they are the worst coach/QB tandem ever, right? Just throw the 3 SB rings and 14-5 record out the window.

No other coach in the league can take mediocre talent and turn them into week-in, week-out producers on the field. Bill/Brady were just outmatched for this one game. If there were a game next week between the Pats and Jets would you automatically go for the Jets since they won on Sunday? I wouldn't.

With that said, Pats are cheaters, Jets are cheaters.

Go bears!

The Packers and Mike McCarthy - with injuries all season, they turned no-names into champions. Sort of the reverse of Lovie Smith.

[abaybay]

04:24 PM on 01/17/2011

Packers haven't won anything yet (division - no, NFC - no), why are you calling their "no-names" champions? And what "no-names" are you exactly referring to?

Lovie Smith is a good coach. He's not great, but he's good.

I call them the "Cheatriots" -- if you notice, the Cheatriots haven't been as successful since they were caught videotaping other teams' practices, signs, snap counts, etc.

one down, one to go; neither of these bunk cheater teams are getting rings this year. bear down!!!
