2018 NFL Week 3 Fine Blotter (and other news)

NFL appears to be playing a bit closer to the vest.

Nothing on Twitter, nothing on Pro Football Talk...  as of about 6 PM EDT.

With 11 actionable fouls in the Monday Night game alone, I'd have to think this is a very interesting week, as well as the incidents with Isaiah Crowell Thursday Night.

Before I dig up anything, one from PFT talking about a player telling the truth.

Cameron Wake of the Dolphins, regarding his teammate's Rodgers Rule ACL tear:

“Everybody knows the league is concerned about player safety, [but] it just depends on what player,” Wake said, via Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. “If it’s players’ safety, everybody should be safe, not just certain players. It should be everyone. . . . Now I’m supposed to sacrifice myself in order to protect [the quarterback]?

“My knees mean just as much to my family and my ability to play and provide as [Dolphins quarterback Ryan] Tannehill’s does. I can’t understand that his are more important than mine.”

Well, do we need to answer that question, Mr. Wake?

Also, another body for the altar:  Wes Hopkins is gone.

He was 57.

Of the feared Eagles defenses of the 1980's and 1990's, he's the fifth to die before 60.
