The New York Jets are appealing the $100,000 fine issued by the NFL last week for violating league rules when assistant coach Sal Alosi ordered players to form a sideline wall, then tripped Miami’s Nolan Carroll during a punt return last month.

Meeting with the media for the first time since the fine, special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff says Wednesday that he doesn’t want to discuss it because it is “an unresolved issue” and the Jets are appealing it.
The team confirmed it is appealing the fine, calling it “a typical course of action.”
The fine was in response to the actions of Alosi, the Jets’ strength and conditioning coach, and comments made by Westhoff, who said other teams employ similar sideline wall tactics.
