The NFL hopes to secure a dismissal of the Rams-Saints NFC
Championship lawsuit because (duh) it wants to win and (more importantly) it
wants to shield Commissioner Roger Goodell and multiple game officials from
answering tough questions under oath. The
NFL
John Johnson
Jersey , as a fallback proposition, wants to ensure that Goodell and other
league employees won’t have to travel to Louisiana to be questioned.The 34-page
brief filed by the NFL with the Louisiana Supreme Court indicates in a footnote
that a motion will be filed with the trial court seeking an order allowing the
witnesses to be questioned where they reside, and not where the lawsuit is
pending. In support of the argument, the NFL points out that the witnesses “have
received numerous threats to their physical safety from self-professed Saints
fans.”The local hard feelings against Goodell date back to
2012
Jared Goff
Jersey , when the bounty punishments derailed the Saints’ entire season
via the suspension of coach Sean Payton and defensive coordinator Gregg
Williams. The NFC Championship debacle dusted off that acrimony, with the rancor
extending to the officials responsible for the missed call of pass interference
with less than two minutes remaining in regulation.Courts have broad discretion
to determine the location of depositions. Usually, courts require the lawyers to
travel to where the witnessess live and/or work. Plenty of courts expect
individuals who have subjected themselves to the jurisdiction of the state to
give deposition testimony where the events occurred, and where the case is
pending. The fact that Goodell and the three game officials are named defendants
in the case could be a factor in a decision to make them come to
Louisiana.Although the NFL wants the issue of deposition testimony to become
moot through the dismissal of the entire
case
David Edwards
Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , the NFL also will be fighting to ensure that
Goodell would be questioned in New York City, and that the three game officials
involved in the case would likewise testify where they live. QuarterbackQB Jared
Goff really missed WR Cooper Kupp on Super Bowl LIII Sunday. He looked frazzled
with pressure coming through the inside and he took some bad sacks. He only had
one turnover, so it wasn’t a disaster, but it wasn’t impressive. Running BacksNo
matter how much smoke was being blown at the media by the Rams front office and
coach Sean McVay. RB Todd Gurley II wasn’t right and it was clear by all the
touches C.J. Anderson got. Regardless who was running the ball were stymied by
the Patriots defense.Tight EndsWe needed TE Tyler Higbee and TE Gerald Everett
and they didn’t show up.Wide ReceiversWR Brandin Cooks led the way with 120
yards and WR Robert Woods and WR Josh Reynolds were productive as
well
Los Angeles
Rams Jerseys 2019 , even though there were some unfortunate drops. The
guys couldn’t get open enough, but I feel that’s more about the play calling.
Offensive LineThe offensive line got pushed around a bit were out-schemed by the
Patriots. The run game never got in rhythmand Jared Goff was sacked 4 times for
31 yards. And that C John Sullivan penalty left a mark. Defensive LIneDT Aaron
Donald and company kept QB Tom Brady from going off by making him very
uncomfortable. Michael Brockers was very active in the game, as well, getting
himself 5 solo tackles. While the run game wasn’t shut
down
Infant David
Edwards Jersey , they did an admirable job against an excellent New
England offense. LinebackersHot damn, ILB Cory Littleton was a beacon of light
and ILB Mark Barron was pretty good too! And OLB Dante Fowler Jr. was very
active and disruptive. I really like this kid — hope the Rams find a way for him
to stay with the team.Defensive BacksOverall, these guys were on point. CB
Marcus Peters had some nice tackles and some pretty legit stops. All of the guys
stepped up and did their thing.Special TeamsGood punts, but you gotta make that
field goal. CoachingWhile Wade Phillips had a great game with his
defense
David
Edwards Jersey nfl draft , Sean McVay’s chess match with Bill Belichick
did not go over well. His play calling was ineffective and the way McVay handled
the Gurley injury/non-injury seems ill-advised. This was a performance that
McVay and his coaches will study and agonize over all winter and spring. And
summer. And all next season.
