The Buzz (Wk3)

There is a lot of Buzz going around the league this week. Here is a few highlights.

We will be featuring the Oakland Raiders, New York Jets, and Pittsburg Steelers.

Oakland Raiders: Raiders defensive assistant Randy Hanson told Napa police that coach Tom Cable struck him and broke his jaw during training camp. Hanson's lawyer said it was "a textbook case of felony assault". He said that Hanson spoke with the Bay Area Police for over 90 minutes on Friday and turned over all medical records. Hanson's lawyer did say that they are not sure if there will be charges. Randy Hanson was not at the game on Sunday.

As if Oakland did not have enough problems going on, the last thing they needed was for their head coach to be in legal trouble. I wonder what the commissioner is going to do as punishment to Tom Cable?

New York Jets: Rex Ryan benched David Clowney Sunday due to some comments he made on twitter(once again people saying stupid things on twitter...) Here is what Clowney said after week 2's game..
"1 play in the 1st Half, 4 plays in the 2nd half,.... A bit disappointed about my playing time but very happy and satisfied about the win. Just time to work harder for next week ... My team always comes first so I'm a just keep grinding,.. And we gonna keep winning"

Here is what Rex had to say about benching Clowney over the tweet.
"I'm not a big Twitter guy, but you hear different things. To me, it's about your team. No individual is bigger than the team. So if I feel a guy is not putting the team first, then I'll make the decision to put the guy down.

"I put David down. That was my decision. I wanted to see how David would respond. David had two options: He could have come out and been upset and pouted or he could come out and been a Jet, worked his tail off and showed me that he wants to do it our way.

He did exactly that. He was phenomenal in preparation. I'll probably give him scout team player of the week."

Rex said he will be playing during the game this week.

I wonder if he spends most of the time on the bench if he will be tweeting again?

Pittsburg Steelers: It looks as though Mike Tomlin is making some personal changes. Tomlin said he was concerned about Limas Sweed's struggle to catching the football. He state that he many not even dress Sweed for Sunday's game against San Diego. When asked if he would consider moving Shaun McDonald in , who has been inactive for 2 weeks, he said "Absolutely".
Tomlin did not let Rashard Mendenhall start during last weeks game due to bad practice during the week. Tomlin said that he wanted to make a point to Mendenhall and expects him to perform better this week.

After 2 unexpected losses it looks as though Tomlin is trying to keep everyone motivated and getting the right people on the field to win a game.
