Packers suspend Jaire Alexander for 1-game for making himself captain, nearly messing up the coin toss, and telling on himself

Right move by the Packers?

What he said was a huge mistake. Saying you want to go on defense means you kickoff to start the game and at half time. You have to say you want to defer, verbiage matters. The ref saved his ass asking if he meant he wanted to defer. The ref could have been a dikk and said he elected to go on defense meaning GB would have kicked the ball off at the start of the game and at halftime.

The issue is he said “we want to be on defense” instead of saying defer. And that could have cost the Packers a posesssion as they’d have to kick off to start both halves. Luckily, LaFleur told the refs what he wanted to do before the toss so they knew.

But the fact that Jaire wasn’t a captain, did that, and then told on himself to the media with no awareness was what had the org step in today..

From what I know. That's not the issue.

And what he said isn't even an option on a coin toss.

You can't fukk up the coin toss up.

The winner of the toss gets a choice to either kick or receive... Or defer.
The loser of the toss gets to chose the direction to defend if the winner receives the ball.

There is no "I want to defend" option that's makes you kickoff 1st and 2cd half.

Have you ever seen a team kickoff to began a game and to began the second half, even if they decided to kickoff or defer after winning the coin Toss.
NO.

Seems like the type of thing no one would have noticed or realized if the team didn't make a thing out of it.
Packers look like they might be out of the hunt so maybe it makes sense to use the opportunity to try to reel in a locker room problem type guy while they can

Nah pimp. You specifically have to say “we defer” which means we defer our choice to kick or receive until the 2nd half.

If you say “the defense wants to be out there”, not only is it vague, it could be interpreted as not wanting to defer and instead giving the opposing team the option of receiving twice.

NO.
In an effort to make excuses for him, you're essentially explaining how idiotic this guy's actions were

Brother...

"The defense wants to be out there" is not an option on a coin toss.

So It's not about being vague or however a ref interprets it.
That's why there's only 3 options.
Either you kick, receive or defer

And to be honest. They need to just simplify it.
You receive first half, then you'll kick second half.
And you'll defend the opposite end from which u started.
shyt doesn't have to be complex
