Re: Report: Fred Davis, Trent Williams suspended four games
 

[quote=SmootSmack;865682]I suspect they'll give him a deal with considerable stipulations in place. But there will be other offers from other teams that may not be as worried about giving him such a contract.

But it'll be really interesting come this offseason when they're negotiating with Davis and with Landry (who, and I don't like to speculate, but I'm pretty confident in this info, is one strike away from 3)[/quote]

Landry? Interesting.

Not sure what I would do w/ LL. Really, just what has he done to earn a big payday?

He's got tremendous potential but what has he actually done?

Is this a rhetorical question? I don't really know how to answer you

Re: Report: Fred Davis, Trent Williams suspended four games
 

[quote=SmootSmack;865690]Is this a rhetorical question? I don't really know how to answer you[/quote]It's not an intentionally rhetorical question. Really, it just seems like the Redskins are struggling to manage their younger players compared to other teams. But I also know how that can be a perception that isn't reality.

Is every team facing the same challenges the Redskins are w/failed drug tests? My assumption is that they are.

Re: Report: Fred Davis, Trent Williams suspended four games
 

As long as they don't start testing the fans. Watching this team sober is unbearable. :cool-smil

Every team has problems, some more than others. It's not specific to just the Redskins

wat a joke. **** goodell

Re: Report: Fred Davis, Trent Williams suspended four games
 

Trent was drafted too high (pun) thus makes too much money for this type of a letdown. Davis too, to a lesser degree. I'm dissapointed with them. They can't be depended on.

Huh? I'm not really a fan of Goodell, but I certainly don't fault the man for suspending a guy after 3 failed drug tests. As a matter of fact, I'm sure the language for these sort of suspensions is in the new CBA, which the NFLPA agreed to.

All I know is what I wrote

Re: Report: Fred Davis, Trent Williams suspended four games
 

This could be (and probably will be) real trouble. Undoubtedly, it will not be the last time. If possible, I would love to find a decent partner and trade both their asses. If they allowed this to happen, I really hate to count on them in the future......

If anything, you should be kissing his ass. They technically should have been suspended a year for their third infraction.


1st fail = never made public
2nd fail = made public and 4 game suspension
3rd fail = made public and 1 year suspension



These morons got 2 freebies.

Re: Report: Fred Davis, Trent Williams suspended four games
 

The fact Trent and Fred risked one year suspensions is of real concern. Hard to put much confidence in either guy at this point.

Nonetheless I do think this reflects the lack of leadership at the top of the pyramid.

Re: Report: Fred Davis, Trent Williams suspended four games
 

Did Dexter Manley, Tony Peters, and more reflect poor leadership on the part of Gibbs?

Did Lawrence Taylor and Quincy Carter reflect poor leadership on the part of Parcells?

Did Santonio Holmes reflect poor leadership on the part of Tomlin?

These guys have to be held accountable for their own actions, I don't see how any one but Davis and Williams are responsible.
