I still don't understand this pick at all

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

We need to cut this dude.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

Um, he's not even under contract yet. No cutting needed.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

I'm guessing that the honest-to-the-bone Zorn is not gonna like this very much.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

[I]"I'm trying to enjoy everything that happened Sunday with the draft," he said. "All of a sudden, I can't win for losing. I want to put this behind me and start clean in Washington and start playing football."[/I]

Well then admit why you were banned, and lol at the "All of a sudden, i can't win for losing". It must been pretty bad to wanna make up lies to a team that picked you high in the draft.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

He was probably meat gazing in the locker rooms.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

I wanted that LB from Miami Spencer Adkins but he went to Atlanta

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

This pick was a reach to start with. Then lying about a suspension? Thats what freakin 8 yr olds do. It sounded like a crappy suspension anyway, selling tickets to football games. Man I'm pissed, especially when we had the chance to get Meredeth or Robinson, but instead we took a chance on this clown.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

Maybe I missed it, but I don't see where it says he lied to team officials. He admits to lying to reporters, and I couldn't care less about that. At this time, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt while also trusting that the Skins did their due diligence before the draft by looking into this matter.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

{Yawn} Wake me up when one of picks does or says something exciting after the final cut.

The FO said that they specifically talked to Nebraska's coach about the issue. So, although we are in the dark about what he did, the FO is not.

I still dont understand this pick. I hope we love it in two years. And I hope your right.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

"I didn't mean to confuse anyone." HA! Then why did you flat out lie? Would it have been so hard to say "it was a matter between Coach Pelini and myself, and it has been handled." I mean come on.

This pick was a head scratcher when we made it IMO. He's played all of 9 games at LB in his entire life, and he's obviously got character red flags. Now it looks worse obviously.

It's my understanding we didn't have any O-lineman rated as starters when we took Barnes in the 3rd. OK. I'll buy that. I'm cool with the Barnes pick. But you mean to tell me we didn't have any O-lineman rated higher than this dude in the 5th round??

Well, if the FO had drafted him without knowing the cause of the suspension, it would be flat out negligence. I don't think that's the issue. The issue is the way the kid handled it.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

Does anyone know why we took him. Was he realy talented, was his coach a friend of our coaches, even he said he was shocked to be picked. When they took Montgomery it was Blaches friend that told him he was a steal. They must have had some info.

Great point, I was pulling for Duke Robinson at that point and was floored by this pick..???

I couldn't agree with you more. Meredeth and Robinson were on the board and instead we took Glenn? The FO didn't check this guy thoroughly, and on top of that he wasn't the best available OLB, but we'll see if he produces.

We don't need to know why he was banned, so long as the Redskins know the real truth then that's all that matter. He should have just said "no comment" and left it at that, but he didn't.

Yes sir. If he is going to make it in the NFL he'll need to learn how to better handle the media.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

It's a f'ing 5th pick people, it's not like we drafted Percy Harvin or Pacman Jones. If we were the Lions, no one would care.

Haha i hear Harvin was unable to name a QB on the Vikings roster...BUST!!!

He was probably thinking about a big Hershey bar during the press conference. LOL.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

It seems that for every negative thing that fans complain about, I can find something worst by another team that belittles it.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

Still can't believe Rey fell so far...almost every analyst i've heard talk about the draft thinks he'll be a monster. If Cinci can clean up it's locker room, and Palmer recovers, it will be a very good team again soon.

But he did name several sources for ganja in the greater Minneapolis area. He knows about the important things.

Thank you, this is seriously not a big deal. I am sure the FO knows this all. If they don't then he will be gone. Oh yeah, we got him in the 5th. Not like this is Orakpo stuff.

Also even when all that Reggie Bush stuff came out it didn't even matter. The kid made a mistake. We are all forgetting that he was a young kid in college. Have you never lied in your life? Be honest with yourself. Not saying it is right, but you learn what honesty is and then you grow.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

I have to be on his side on this one. Somethings are none of the general publics business. Now if the Skins wanted to look into it and check on his character and decided to speak with his college coach then fine. but honestly I simply would have told the people it's none of your business. I did something stupid, got caught, and punished. It's not like he got kicked out of school.

You are correct. Unfortunately for this poor boy, he chose his chance to grow in front of the national media. Now there's a tough learning experience.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

I'm pretty sure I heard cerrato say during a press conference something to the effect of:

[I]I think there was omething about him seling tickets, but we've been in touch with Nebraska and aren't worried about it.[/I]

But Im fairly certain he had no idea what happeed, at least not at that point. Ya gotta hope they know what the deal is now.

That's why the NFL provides them with that training. As long as he behaves we won't have to worry too much about it. How much will a 5th rounder be in the media anyways off the bat. He has to worry about making the team first. This isn't directed at you, just a general reply.

He's got Randy Moss's old hookup.

Just because ESPN or whatever ranks those other players higher, doesn't mean they are better. NFL teams know more about these guys than the media. Its a fifth round pick. No players are really looking that good coming out of the fifth round.

This guy was a running back for most of college and only played 9 games at linebacker. He showed some flashes in those games, but he is very inexperienced. I don't know if he is going to get good or not, but I'll give the Redskins the benefit of the doubt. The Redskins draft picks have been pretty good lately, (they just haven't had enough of them) so I actually sort of trust them when it comes to players they actually draft.

I am quite surprised this did not set off another 10 pages rehashing the early 2000's

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

Dumb on this kid's part to lie but I don't think it's a huge issue. Let's not act like we all haven't told a dumb lie or two in our lives.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

The kid just got a very early lesson in media relations as a pro. What will be a bigger deal is how he plays in camp. this will be forgotten one way or another, it's not a big deal & at least give him credit for coming clean.

I kinda like the scouting report on this guy. He might've been a reach & I too was pissed we didn't grab an o linemen, but he sounds like an athlete w/room to grow. Hopefully he makes an immediate impact on spec. teams.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

If we decide to trade any of our RB (Betts) for a starter quality LB, Then Glenn will be cut since he has proven he is not trustworthy by trying to hide his past. The Redskins don't need roster/lockeroom drama.

You just never know... ask Tom Brady. Obviously, somebody saw something in this guy.

Re: Glenn admits lying about suspension
 

if he was charged with sexual misconduct but the charges were dropped (girl's story didnt add up, to many inconsistencies/lapses to prosecute without other corroborating evidence) i could see why cody and the univ are keeping things silent to protect cody and the girl whom have a right to privacy regarding allegations of sexual misconduct.

i only got this from one of the comments to the article, sounded like the person was from the univ and an alegation of sexual misconduct sounds like something the school would suspend him 3 games for if he was charged, then wanting to not name names or stir the pot after the charges were dropped due to privacy and embarrasment reasons.

again, just speculation from a comment but it would make sense that cody and the school are going this route for a sexual misconduct charge that was later dropped/dismissed.

go skins!!

from all accounts ive read, he only "lied" to reporters and even then it wasnt to deny or get away with something but to try and not go public with what he had already disclosed to the proper people (his school, local police, skins FO, etc.). it doesnt say he didnt give the skins FO the full story behind closed doors if and when they interviewed him.

go skins!!
