Oh and Alex Smith actually looked pretty good today. Of course it was against the Seachickens. I think it's likely another team picks him up if the 49ers don't bring him back. If so, I hope he lands in a good situation where he can have some success.

During the New York Jets game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon, the Jets' strength and conditioning coach appeared to intentionally trip Miami cornerback Nolan Carroll as he ran out of bounds on punt coverage.
CBS Sports replays showed Sal Alosi stick his knee out and lean toward the field. Carroll tripped and fell down and needed to be attended to by medical staff on the Jets sideline during the third quarter of the game but eventually returned. The Dolphins won 10-6.
Carroll said he was not angry about the incident. But his teammates were fired up.
"They're cheaters," Dolphins inside linebacker Channing Crowder said. "They do what they do. They cheat. They talk junk. But we beat the hell out of them today.
"I wish they'd tripped me. I'd have broken that old man's leg. I didn't see anything. He stuck his leg out and tripped him? He should be ashamed of himself. A grown man from the coaching staff? That's high character."
The Jets confirmed the culprit in the green slicker was Alosi. The 33-year-old former Hofstra linebacker who joined the Jets as a strength and conditioning intern in 2001. He worked for the Atlanta Falcons before returning to the Jets in 2006.
"The team is reviewing the situation and is looking into the appropriate next steps," Jets public relations chief Bruce Speight said in a statement.
Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano said he would submit the play to the NFL for a review.
"There was a player down on the sideline, and that's not good," Sparano said. "We're trying to take care of players in this game."
Dolphins defensive end Kendall Langford said of the trip: "That was bad. Unfortunately, he had to do that, and he really could have hurt Nolan. He could have ended his career with that. I think maybe somebody needs to do something about that as far as the league goes. I think he should get fined. We get fined for illegal stuff. Why can't the coaches?"
Upon seeing a photo of Alosi's trip, Dolphins inside linebacker Karlos Dansby called for a suspension or even a permanent dismissal.
"Four games? The rest of the season? Suspend him, man," Dansby said. "Get him up out of there. He's got to go, bringing down a whole organization like that. That's sad. You don't do a man like that.
The Jets were struggling against the Dolphins, a team they were expected to beat after a 45-3 loss to the New England Patriots last Monday night.
In 2000, Indiana Pacers assistant coach Rick Carlisle was fined $10,000 for tripping the Knicks' Latrell Sprewell during an NBA playoff game.
Carroll's mother is Florida politician Jennifer Carroll, the lieutenant governor-elect for the state.

Before yesterdays game I was holding out hope that Henne's problem was more of the OC Henning but now.... I think I could complete 5 passes in a game with my head up my own ***.
I'm glad the Phins D played a hell of a game, despite a few dropped INT's Sean Smith did rack up a lot of PD's. And the Special teams WOW big turn around from the beginning of the season.
Oh and like all Phins fans I was steaming when the coach knee'd/tripped Carroll, it didn't help that just a few minutes before the Jets got away with interference when Bess was trying to catch a punt.
Sad sad day when the Special teams (especially the punter Fields) and the Defense is your teams best offensive weapons.
I'm sure most Phins fans won't agree with me but I'm feeling more and more that I'd love to see McDaniels get the OC job in the off season and Alex Smith brought in to battle Henne for the starting job and see if they can get Pennington to become the QB coach.

A few points from a Dolphin fans point of view:
-A new OC in the offseason is an absolute must. Josh McDaniels would be a great hire. #2 on the list is bring somebody in to compete with Henne. I like the idea of Alex Smith. Believe it or not, I think he takes care of the ball better than Henne and I think if Alex finally found some stability and a competant coaching staff he could be a solid NFL starter. I should also note that Alex is not my first choice, but I'm trying to be realistic about what Miami can actually grab.
-The Miami Defense is already a Top 5 D in the NFL and only getting better. This is only year 1 of Mike Nolan being DC and the majority of the defense is very young. I think just about everybody is scheduled to come back and Miami can help themselves by dumping Crowder and gettting somebody who actually produces alongside Dansby. Here's the bottom line: If Miami makes the right decisions about the offensive staff in the offseason, this team could be very good in 2011.
-It's amazing to me to see yet another Jet season go down in flames. In all seriousness, it's bizaar. It doesn't matter the era or who's associated with the team, they ALWAYS find a way to show signs of promise and then back it up with a complete implosion. As bad as it is being a Dolphin/Jazz fan, it must be even worse being a Jet fan. With Pitt/Chicago/Buffalo still left on the schedule it's very likely that NY doesn't win again and I'd be willing to bet that they lose at least 2 outta the last 3. That puts them at 10-6 and there's no guarantee that record gets them in as a WC. Wow, from starting 9-2 and quite possibly only finishing with 10 wins? It could only be the Jets.
-That assistant should be fired for tripping the Dolphin player. I know it's extreme, but that is so out of line it's not even funny. The guy went knee-to-knee on a player running at full speed who didn't see it coming. He's very lucky Nolan Carroll wasn't hurt any worse than he was. There is no room for that on any level, let alone the NFL. Give the guy a pink slip.

I'm not sure how well McDaniels would work out here. Word is Nolan can't stand him - he left for a reason. His relationship with Marshall obviously isn't the greatest.

I've read in a few places that McDaniels-Marshall actually ended up on fairly good terms, however I was not thinking of the Nolan-McDaniels situation and that could be a problem. Seeing how this Defense is developing, I'd do whatever it took to keep Nolan happy.
Agreed. He needs to go. Not a good fit, maybe just a bad coach.

Word is in the NYC area is that The Jet coaching staff had their practice squad players and other personnel stand at the very edge of the white out of bounds area to intimidate the The Dolphin DB's and Special Team players from running full speed out of bounds. This of course does not excuse this guy in any way shape or form from what he did; but it would be interesting to see what The Jets do as a result. My guess is they suspend him for the season. If they don't the NFL surely will.
The guy has already had a press conference and said he has no plans to resign.

He should be fired. I would think he certainly would be if Carroll tore up his knee, so I don't think it's fair to let him slide because he got lucky the guy wasn't seriously hurt. It's not like he just didn't move, he went out of his way to make knee to knee contact. Very dangerous.
Strength and conditioning coaches are supposed to help prevent injury. He intentionally acted in a way that was likely to cause injury. He's a bigger scum bag than the homophigots on this board. No surprise he's employed by the Jets.
