Bart Scott: ‘Amari Cooper Should Be Looking At Teammates Differently Today’

This is how I know that this Raider team isn’t quite a Jack Del Rio team or quite yet a team ready to take the next step,” Scott said on CBS Sports Radio’s The DA Show. “Amari Cooper: young guy, nice guy. He doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into. He doesn’t know the NFL. He’s learning what the NFL is all about: tough guys. If you talk tough, you got to walk tough, right? So Pacman Jones, known as a little tough guy, bit of a thug, had some issues off the field, rips his helmet off and takes my young rookie that I’m supposed to love and protect, the guy that’s brought in here to try and get us to the next level – (it’s the) equivalent (of) banging (Sidney) Crosby’s head against the glass.
quote:
“So if I’m a Raider and I see that happen to my young guy, I get up,” Scott continued. “And listen, I’m not talking tough, trust me. I walk it. I would have grabbed Adam by his dreads and banged his head into the ground and choked him out and wouldn’t care who came on that field. It should have been benches-cleared, all-out melee, and you just pay the fine. We call that the cost of doing business. If that would have been a Ravens team that I was a part of, Pacman would still be getting his butt beat.”

Hearing Bart say that gets me fired the frick up. Agreed completely. His teammates should have straight up fricked up Jones's world, even if not immediately. If that's my teammate, I'm tearing that motherfricker's helmet off and kicking him in the teeth.
AND Jones was responsible for hurting Carr.

You're right. When I saw it I was shocked that there wasn't a huge fight.

Absolutely agree. The first thing that crossed my mind was "his teammates are soft as shyt". Amari is/has potential to be "The Franchise" and to let someone do this to your teammate is as disgusting as the actions of PacMan. Coach Del Rio should chew off into the team and hopefully Amari gets a little bit more aggressive. Hell, even The GOAT Jerry Rice had to slap box a DB from time to time.

They did come to his aid and there were flags for it. I can't remember who came up to his defense first, but I believe it was Tawaiin Jones.
Honestly, forget the whole Pacman shite and fine. What impressed me the most was Cooper not retaliating and just getting up to play football. Didn't start no shite, didn't say anything, just simply walked away.

A real man doesn't need someone to have his back if it's one on one. i am quite sure Cooper could kick the thugs butt, but Coop is like laughing at the fool. He isn't going to strike back, he will do his talking on the field. If the thug does it again, I imagine Coop will go off on him and be seen as justified.

I agree with you on that, and I will say that I only saw the short clip, which was slowed down.

Not a fan of that mentality. If the other team wants to be thugs, let em. Don't do it back because it makes you just as worse. I wouldn't even let my players talk shite on the field. Don't talk to the other team. THAT is more of a mind game than talking shite because nothing you can say to someone will piss them off more than ignoring their talk. Don't push, don't fight, don't talk. Not how anyone does it, but it's my ideal situation for a team. You just look bad doing any of it, no matter who started it. Sure you get physical during the plays, and you damn sure don't help any rivalry game players up or tell them good game afterward, but just act like a winner.
Just my opinion.
Just my opinion.

I agree you don't start a brawl if a guy pushes your guy...but to rip his helmet off and bang his head against it? In your house? Yeah hell should have broken loose. You have to make other teams respect you.

I think it's extremely evident that a lot of players in the NFL, especially on the terrible teams, don't really care whatsoever about what's happening on the field. Rolando McClain said he soured on football because the players in the Raiders organization didn't care.

I get that. All I'm saying is my ideal way of doing that is to get up and not even ignore it. Don't smile, don't scoff, don't look pissed. Make chuckle for a second, but that shite only works if you respond. If you don't the guy that did it is going to be mad as frick. It's the same as starting an argument with someone and then reminding them how mad they are throughout without ever arguing back. It pisses them off more than anything.
Different people prefer different things though. Had Coop got up and fought back I'd have thought a lot less of him. I think he handled it perfectly. Don't satisfy Pacman by reacting negatively, just ignore his thug arse. Coop

Well most of them are probably jealous of him. He has a nice contract and lots of hype. He has endorsements and will get more once he really starts fricking teams up. There is a lot of jealousy in the league and it is sad.

That's absolutely bull shite. When McClain played his first two years in Oakland, they went 8-8 both years. One year they swept the division his rookie year. The next year if Oakland was in playoff contention but imploded the last game vs the Chargers, ultimately letting Tebow and the Broncos get in. McClain was just slow on the field and disappeared too often. He and Dennis Allen got into it because of McClain's work ethic.

I somewhat agree with ABDIW, although a teammate coming in in that situation and beating the hell out of Pacman would've made a good impression on me. Any teammate that saw it should've run out. However, I'd typically say to smile at the thugs, help them up, speak nicely with that little "frick you" in your eyes. Cause they HATE that.
Like my high school basketball team played a thuggish team and we spent most of the game smiling and pissing them off by being nice. But the ringleader took a really dirty shot at my best friend right at our bench, and I almost went to fricking town on him.

Na man, that org was shite even then. The only reason Oakland won that many games that year was because that division was absolute shite those years.
Here's an article that I just remember off the top of my head about Rich Gannon blasting the Raiders org. He isn't the only former player that's sounded off on them either.

Old Raiders would have fricked Jones up. Hell, the fans would have come out of the stands.
