Training camp fights used to be so common that I did not even realize they stopped happening. We famously saw Joe Hawley fight basically everyone, perhaps most famously on Hard Knocks.
Fans and coaches liked that the players showed aggressiveness during training camp, but it did not seem to ever translate to the field. We had an absurd number of fights in Mike Smith’s last year, and we also had the league’s worst defense and an abysmal offensive line.
Maybe fights just don’t help the team. That’s Dan Quinn’s thinking, per this cool video from Fox 5.
