Jerod Mayo Implements Strict Anti-Fighting Policy for Patriots

The new head coach of the New England Patriots aims to curb training camp fights with a unique disciplinary approach.

Starters who fight must play the entire preseason game, while backups will not play at all.
Mayo's policy has been effective, with no fights reported during joint practice with the Eagles.
The rule addresses the increasing number of training camp altercations across the NFL.
Mayo believes that fights are detrimental to team cohesion and player development.
The NFL recently fined the Giants and Lions for multiple fights during joint practices.
