NFL Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent will embark on a cross-country tour soon to meet with players who have recently been suspended for on-the-field incidents, telling the Associated Press this week that it's "all about educating." Vincent, a former five-time Pro Bowl cornerback who replaced Ray Anderson in the league's front office in 2010, said he wants to find out what the players were thinking -- or not thinking -- on the play that led to the suspension, adding that he wants to make sure they understand the rules to take out the element of guessing and help cut down on injuries: 

“It’s all about educating. The devil is in the details. When I am making the rounds with the suspended players, I want to make sure we are educating them to keep them on the field. What were they seeing on the plays [that led to suspensions]? Are they seeing what they are supposed to? Do they completely understand the rules? It’s about taking the guessing out.”
