Seriously, his bs can't hit quarterbacks or receivers initiatives are ruining the league. I can't tell you how many games I've turned off because of absurd penalties for perfectly legit hits.
I agree with this.
These players know what they are in for when they sign up for this game.

The NFL can't. After the last strike, replacement players were prohibited if there was another lockout.
The last work stoppage was a strike (stoppage initiated by labor), and thus the league could bring in replacement players.
If we have one this time, it would be a lockout, which is a stoppage initiated by management. Subtle, yet large difference.

I don't know the reasoning why but I'd have to guess that the players don't like it because they're getting replaced with scrubs and the owners don't want to get replacement because they get TV money regardless so why would they want a payroll full of scrubs that no one really wants to watch to begin with.
That has nothing to do with it. When management locks out employees, they don't hire scabs; they only hire scabs when the employees walk out. There are labor law reasons behind this.

Players need to learn their place. They are one of the worst types of unions out there. They want raises in a shitty at best economy.
The OWNERS, not the players want a "raise" right now. As I said on another thread, this is about big market owners vs small market owners, using the players as scapegoats (looks like they've pulled the wool over your eyes, too).
This year, each team received $136 Million from the TV deals (not including revenues from NFLN and local rights...). The salary cap in 2009 was $128 Million. The owners share merchandising revenue and split gate receipts (except for luxury boxes). This is what the fight is really about. The small market owners (rightfully) don't want to give up the shared revenue. The large market owners (like Jones and Snyder) want a larger portion of the shared revenue. So the owners want a larger pot to split amongst themselves so that the large market guys can still make more money and the small market guys can keep the same portion of the pie. To do this, they want to reduce the players' portion of the pie, which is an effective strategy because it diverts from what the real battle is and makes a scapegoat out of their workers.
