Maybe Rak gave him the......hooch to secure his own status......

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

He's a backup. It's 4 games. By my math, he'll be back just in time for Orakpos torn pec that puts him out for another season.

Lets just say Tylenol and band-aids don't cut it.

Ever hear of Toradol?

Seriously? I wonder if we're being held to a tougher standard than other teams as some kind of punishment. Was his dentist visit in-season?

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

Crazy. In a sense I get pissed with the NFL because it seems like they're all over the Redskins, but maybe we just have that many guys who aren't paying attention? I get why he did it and I doubt anyone has a problem, unfortunately the NFL is the way it is, and especially now with how they appear to be hammering down on the Redskins, they have to be careful.

Also, don't you have to fail two drug test before the third becomes public?

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

Lets see, play a sport, have fun, make it your livelyhood, get paid $450,000.

or

Smoke weed.

Heck the military gets tested all the time, they risk their lives, and get paid hardly a fraction of that. How hard is it to just say... I'm not going to use it until my football career is over that way I don't jeapordize my job?

It wasn't weed. He had a toothache and took something for it. I agree, any athlete who smokes weed DOES deserve to lose some cash so they learn their lesson, but Rob Jackson can't be thrown into the category of idiots like Trent and Fred.

Yea, and I happened to smoke my first joint the day before my drug test at age 30.

No its not, its the first 4 regular season games, if it was just pre-season if I knew I already made the team, which Jackson has, I'd try to get suspended every pre-season. Its the first 4 regular season games, thats a punishment.

Absolutely correct!

Re: Rob Jackson: Facing 4 Game Suspension Banned Substance
 

4 Games doesn't sound too bad. But this would be the 3rd straight year a Redskins player has tested positive for something. But if the drugs that he was taken in order to treat pain are illegal then those drugs are illegal. Hell, just take some morphine and call it a day.

Samething I thought, but I guess he's thinking he got rushed back last season & tore the muscle again.

4-6 months is the typical recovery time from a torn pec, he should be set to go as long as he doesn't have any setbacks

That's a huge problem and should be addressed.

Apparently, it's the only way the organization can afford to sign players nowadays. Notice how the team always knows of the suspensions before it's publicized. They're either lying or using it as a contract barganing tool.
