Here is how Matt Eberflus handled the first fight in practice yesterday
There's nothing like a good NFL training camp fight. They can take place among teammates, opponents, coaches, fans, or whoever! And often times, somebody is getting embarrassed.
However, not all training camp fights are created equal and often devolve into just a minor scuffle. Seemingly every year during joint practices held by two NFL teams during training camp, a fight breaks out.
It's really interesting to see how the coaches and the veteran players respond to a fight in practice, especially between two players from the same team.
Well, the guys from 79th & Halas Podcast were present at practice yesterday and they reported that the Bears had their first minor little conflict at practice. It was probably between some linemen since even though the pads aren't on, they still can get pretty physical during practice.
Here is what they said:
I really like this response from Flus. While you like your players to be fiery, there is a time and a place for all of this and OTAs is not it. You have to be able to control your emotions and be disciplined enough to understand the bigger picture. This is what well-coached teams do.
