Call me old-fashioned, but if I were Head Coach, Jones (or any player for that matter) would have been benched the rest of the game. He put his own ego ahead of the entire team and continued an otherwise dead drive for FLA. He knew in advance that he would be flagged. No excuses.

Any person who aids and abets the opponent (lengthens drives; takes points off the board [I'm talking to you, Brad Wing]) deserves time in the dog house.

That definitely gave fla the momentum they needed to get going on offense

Honestly, it was a pretty soft penalty, but they also missed that he tackles the guy way before the ball got there.

It’s an emotional game. You want guys to play with passion this happens.

I’d bench him the rest of the season. That was just a stupid choice. Just like after the tipped int. #25 stood over the down WR instead of getting into blocking mode.

Weak excuse. Coddling. It was a lack of discipline and maturity. He knew the rules.

Nope. Maybe 10 years ago he could’ve stood over him and did what he did but nowadays you can’t. Game has gotten soft.

They were throwing that flag even 20 years ago

Sports have gotten so sissified - The Wing taunt shouldn’t have been called; it wasn’t aggressive or anything. Standing over a guy is a little much I’ll admit.

You're totally missing the point. Sportsmanship still counts - at least to me.

We don’t have the depth a CB to put someone on the bench for being a dumbass

Wing’s was NOT a penalty! He never expected to be there. Not poor sportsmanship at all. Did you ever play football? Or have you just “Participated” in sports?

Standing over your opponent and starring him down on the other hand, does not belong in sports! Put your hand down and help him up. That’s Sportsmanlike.

That's too damn bad. Jones (not the coaches) created that situation with his lack of judgment and oversized ego. Sub with the next best warm-blooded player and carry on.

Did he get any defensive snaps after that?

Had we lost, I would agree with you. I'm glad some of these dudes showed a pulse when they got on the field, especially on defense. Up until yesterday, Damone Clark had been the only one showing that he cares to be on this team.

Problem, one of many, with kids today and football.... everyone thinks that when they make a play, they next flex or pose or just the "hey look at me" vs just play the game. So you make a hit... great, did you wrap up to make the tackle? You did... then go do it again and again.

Yeah I'm not sure why Wing was included with the point... He just smoked the Auburn defense; A punter celebrating 5yds before the endzone should have been ignored.

Selfishness is not allowed in a team sport.

Teach the young man a lesson (sit rest of game), and get him back out there next week, as a better team player.

Nah, sit him down for a play or maybe a series, just long enough to think about what you just told him. Then play him and get after his arse nonstop in practice about it.

Did Raymon keep playing because of depth?
This year and next?
Talk of transfer?

We don’t know the reason but agree just looking at the mistake.
