Sal Alosi (pictured) was suspended for the remainder of the season and fined $25,000 for tripping Dolphin Nolan Carroll on Sunday, but that hasn't been the end of the saga.

Former Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas, among others, has accused the Jets of intentionally forming a wall of people on their sideline to aid them during punt returns.

"They had to be ordered to stand there because they're foot to foot," Thomas said in a Tuesday radio interview.

"But there's more to it," he continued, "because I'm telling you, the only thing [Alosi] did wrong was intentionally put that knee out there. If he just stood there, there would never have been a problem, even if the guy got tripped. But there's more to this. He was ordered to stand there. No one is foot to foot on the sideline in the coach's box."
