THOUSAND OAKS
http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/matt-gay-jersey , Calif. (AP) — Robey-Coleman will pay his fine from the NFL for a helmet-to-helmet hit on New Orleans receiver Tommylee Lewis in the NFC championship game.The Rams’ slot cornerback wants to move past the drama surrounding that now-infamous hit, which also appeared to happen well before Drew Brees‘ pass arrived in the fourth quarter last Sunday. No flag was thrown for pass interference or for the helmet-to-helmet nature of the hit, possibly altering the outcome of Los Angeles’ 26-23 overtime victory at New Orleans.“It’s all good, and I’m moving on,” Robey-Coleman said. “That’s how the league feels. That’s their call.”Robey-Coleman confirmed he received a fine from the NFL on Friday, essentially a tacit acknowledgement by the league that a penalty should have been called. The NFL Network reported he was fined $26,739.Robey-Coleman wouldn’t say whether he agreed with the league’s decision to fine him for helmet-to-helmet contact, but the veteran defensive back acknowledged after the game that he could have easily been whistled for pass interference.“It’s the league’s call, the ref’s call,” Robey-Coleman said. “I have nothing to do with that (decision). I made a football play. The ref made his call, and there’s nothing else that I could do about it. That’s their call, and that’s something that you just have to live with as a football team, and we’re going to the Super Bowl, so we just have to move on.”They’re not done talking about it in New Orleans

Two lawsuits have been filed over the officiating, calling for everything from a replay of the game’s final moments to full refunds for Superdome fans.New Orleans coach Sean Payton said the referees “blew the call.”If Robey-Coleman had been flagged, the Saints would have been able to wind down the clock to the final seconds of regulation before kicking a short field goal, putting them in a commanding position to win. Instead, the Rams are going to their first Super Bowl in 17 years after they drove for a tying field goal and an overtime winner.The Rams have been diplomatic about their fortunate break, acknowledging the sketchy nature of Robey-Coleman’s hit while also gently pointing out that one play doesn’t decide any game.“All we do as coaches, if a (penalty) is called, we usually get mad if it’s against us,” Los Angeles defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said. “If a (penalty) is not called, we thought they were holding Aaron Donald or something. But if they don’t call it, you go to the next play. That’s the way the game has been played for a long time.”By paying the fine instead of appealing it, Robey-Coleman hopes to turn his focus to facing Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl in Atlanta next weekend. Robey-Coleman is likely to line up extensively against Julian Edelman, the Patriots’ vaunted slot receiver.“Him and Tom (Brady) work great together

Williams, the team’s defensive coordinator, was suspended indefinitely by the NFL as a result of his involvement. Vitt, who is Gase’s father-in-law, was the assistant head coach and linebackers coach, and testified against Williams at the time.Vitt was suspended the first six games of the 2012 season, and Williams was reinstated by the league after sitting out the whole year. The two will work together for the first time since the controversy.Vitt spent last year as Miami’s senior director of football and player development after serving as a consultant with the Dolphins in 2017. Gase is married to Vitt’s daughter, Jennifer.The Jets recently announced Gase’s coordinators

Among other hirings announced Friday were: Williams’ son Blake (defensive assistant); John Dunn (tight ends); Frank Pollack (offensive line); Derek Frazier (assistant offensive line); and Andre Carter (defensive line), Bo Hardegree (offensive assistant), and Eric Sanders (defensive assistant).Dennard Wilson returns as the defensive backs coach and adds passing game coordinator to his duties. Also retained from former coach Todd Bowles’ staff were Steve Jackson (assistant defensive backs coach), Jeff Hammerschmidt (assistant special teams coach) and Robby Brown (defensive assistant).Of the Jets’ 19 on-field coaches, 10 are 40 or younger — including the 40-year-old Gase.Strength and conditioning coach Justus Galac and assistants Aaron McLaurin and Joseph Giacobbe were also retained.Cooter spent the last five seasons with Detroit, including the last four as offensive coordinator. He previously worked with Indianapolis (2009-11), Kansas City (2012) and Denver (2013), where he also worked with Gase.Jefferson, who had 470 catches during a 13-year playing career, was Gase’s wide receivers coach in Miami the last three years.Bush was Miami’s assistant head coach/linebackers coach the past two seasons.
