Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young got in trouble last season for bouts of immaturity, including a punch thrown against the New Orleans Saints in the regular season.

Young was also briefly told to stay away from the team this offseason when he "sucker punched" his own teammate safety Louis Delmas.

Since then, we've heard the usual puff pieces that he's matured. That lasted until the season opened. Young got into a back-and-forth with St. Louis Rams rookie cornerback Janoris Jenkins, a player the Detroit News said was "talking more than a rookie ought to throughout the game."

Young's response: He head-butted Jenkins and was given an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

"He and a couple of guys were going back and forth, and the whole thing was right in front of me," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. "It looked like he was going to do the right thing and walk away, but at the last second he turned and made a really dumb decision."

Schwartz benched Young at the start of the third quarter, but the second-year pro returned midway through the quarter. It wouldn't be a surprise if Young got an envelope from the NFL later this week.

Hahahaha I love this shit! The whole defense was talking man.

This secondary is really going to get in some players head. They were in Staffords head, that's for sure.

U gyot damn rite.

Even Laurinaitis was jawing all game at players. He even slapped the shit out of someone's helmet after a tackle at one point, and I laughed my ass off. I thought, "Holy shit (lol) look at JL55 jackin' heads all of a sudden." I love the attitude these guys have now. This is going to be a really good team eventually, and I'm gonna enjoy watching it unfold.

Yeah he was doing a lot of things more than a "rookie ought" like breaking up passes and intercepting passes at the goal line and killing LONG drives.
If Jenkins keeps playing like that,a lot of people are going to have to listen to him talk smack :cheese:

was thrilled to see the D playing aggressive and walking the walk. But they didnt maintain that for all 4 quarters. The offense needs to have that same kind of swagger, but they don't... not yet.
