Jets Coach Trips Player

Jets Coach Trips Player - It may be viewed as unprofessional for a National League Football coach to trip a player from the opposing team.

After all, this is a professional game; the players and coaches are all grown men used to coping with frustrations of the game. That didn’t stop an assistant coach for the New York Jets, Sam Alosi, from taking down one of the members of the opposing team. The Miami Dolphins player who literally took the fall was Nolan Carroll.

Alosi was on the sidelines when he tripped Carroll. It didn’t help his team to win; the New York Jets still lost with a score of 10 to 6. Maybe Alosi was just trying to give his team a chance, however; he took action near the end of the third quarter of the game. It did, however, cause public embarrassment for both the coach and the team. In an interview with Yahoo Sports, Alosi admitted to the action and described his behavior as “unsportsmanlike.” He also sent his apologies to the opposing team.

Carroll didn’t make much of the issue, describing it as a situation the Jets have to deal with, not him or the Dolphins. The Jets, meanwhile, have yet to decide on what to do about Alosi, according to their public relations man, Bruce Speight.

The action was apparent during a replay of the game. Carroll was not taken out of the game permanently after the trip but did need to be pulled out after being initially injured. One thing is for certain: the Jets will undoubtedly be careful Also doesn’t trip anyone in their upcoming games against Pittsburgh and Chicago.
