Reducing Penalties - Mike Westoff's Penalty Prevention System

How Mike Westhoff Turned the Jets into the Least Penalized Team Over the Last Eight Years It only takes about three minutes before Mike Westhoff gets to the tape. Like a proud father, the New York Jets special team coordinator is moving his red laser up and down the surface of a 42” TV in his office in Central New Jersey. “Did you see that block?
