"We've been doing that since the beginning of the year, standing right there. Sunday was not the first time that we'd been doing that," Jets tight end Jeff Cumberland said.
"I mean, throughout the season you know things are going to happen but you never expect this to happen."
Cumberland said Alosi didn't explain to the players why they were lined up.
"He never really just gave a reason," Cumberland said. "He just said during punt return, 'You just stand right here by this line, everybody just stand right here.' There wasn't really a reason why. But we kinda figured just in case somebody ran over here."
