(Story with gifs here)
I'd never seen it happen before watching the Bucs-Broncos game, so I was pretty surprised when Shiano sent his defense to put a hit on Peyton Manning when he was taking a knee. (I hadn't known about them previously doing the same to Eli).
Now, I personally don't think this is inherently "bad" or anything, and I understand - at least in principle - the notion that he wants to coach his team to play to the very end of the game.
But to me it also seems at best just kind of ridiculous, and at worst a dickish sore loser move. I mean, the probability of successfully forcing a turnover on that play is pretty damn close to zero. In fact, Shiano's best chance was when he tried it the first time. Now that every team in the league knows he's gonna pull that, he'll never be able to catch any team off guard (Fox said the Broncos were ready for it).
As I said, it doesn't really bother me per se, but the combination of it coming across as kind of a cheap shot to many people, and the near impossibility of it being effective, well it just kind of makes me wonder why bother in the first place.
Anyhow, I'm interested to see what the PSDers think about this. I don't think it's important enough, really, to elevate to the level of "controversy", but it is kind of interesting.

"Play to the whistle"
Five rounds went by in the 2000 draft... After 198 other players had been chosen, the Patriots drafted him in the sixth round.
Owner Robert Kraft recalls the night he was leaving the old Foxboro Stadium when he saw "this skinny beanpole" carrying a pizza. "He comes up and says, 'Mr. Kraft, I'm Tom Brady.' I said, 'I know who you are, you're our sixth-round draft choice from Michigan.' "And he looked me right in the eye and he said, 'and I'm the best decision this organization has ever made.' "

Once he did it to the Giants and said that he has his players "Play to the whistle" he has to keep doing this i don't really care though i guess its worth a shot in case the QB screws up or something.

It is one of his macho mantra plays where they want to be the bad boys maybe like the 70 steelers or raiders. Let me tell you something Greg, you can't.... The NFL isn't what it used to be and you have to oblige. The nfl needs to step in right away if they really care about safety. Kids might be watching and chose to do the same and end up seriously hurting each other. Greg schniao and that bucs team are just classless. Whoever even tries to justify such malarkey is just dispicable"
