Report: Fred Davis, Trent Williams suspended four games

REDSKINS4ever · 12-07-2011, 12:28 AM

This thing with Fred Davis and Trent Williams almost feels like Len Bias shocking overdose and death back in 1986. Okay, it's exactly not on that level, but Davis and Williams both let their teammates down, their coaches down, and they let the fans of the Redskins down. Hopefully, this teaches them a valuable lesson and hopefully they both can mature from it and make better and wiser decisions in the future.

fred isn't leaving

Right now Davis is the most valuable potential free agent on the team. The Redskins will either offer him a decent paying contract, or place the franchise tag on him. They are not going to let him get away, especially after the spectacular season that he had.

Exactly what I was thinking

Trent is a good dude I don't think you'll ever see him in trouble with the law..Like serious trouble

CrustyRedskin · 12-07-2011, 03:51 PM

Id like an apology from the whole team and organization for allowing me to watch the least amount of Redskin football that i have ever watched in my life. I've missed more games this year than i ever have. Thanks guys, please make me eat crow next year.

REDSKINS4ever · 12-08-2011, 12:44 AM

Well, I hope that they learn their lesson. Being a NFL player, a top 5 first round draft choice, and a TE that was/is on his way to the pro bowl, you have to set the standards. Davis and Williams knew that they are All pro caliber football players. They are also both fine young men.

But the question that Bruce Allen has to consider is, what if one of them, or both of them repeat the same offense? That's a very basic and wise question to ask yourself if you're the general manager.

it's not going to take serious trouble, if he fails another test he is done for a year. i really hope these two idiots learn from this, especially trent. if we lose davis it would suck but no where near the extent of losing our #4 overall draft pick from 2 years ago.

I had been thinking TW was a complete lost cause. Yesterday I would have said if we can get a third round pick for him then it’s a no brainer, and that a fourth round pick should be something we should consider for him. But ive changed my tune a little and think there is hope. Jared Allen and Ricky Williams both made major lifestyle changes after alcohol and weed threatened their careers.

Coming out of college Jared Allen had been arrested for DUI. Then during a contract year with the Chiefs in 2006 he got 2 DUIs within 5 months, forcing him to sign a 1 year tender in 2007 before moving to the Vikings the following year.

Ricky failed 3 drug tests, retired to study holistic medicine, unretired to only fail again, went to Canada to play in the CFL and came back to the NFL only to possibly fail again for something besides weed, all within the first 5 years of his career.

Both of these stories are drastically different but Ricky no longer smokes weed and Jared Allen has sworn off alcohol. If Ricky was given more support early on perhaps his road back to becoming a productive NFL player would have been much shorter. Ricky Williams had major depression and other issues so maybe TW or Fred Davis do too. For TW to get busted 3 times all within a year and half of being drafted and for Davis to get busted a 3rd time during a contract year, to me suggest that maybe their bad decision making is because of bigger problems like depression or something else.

Mattyk · 12-08-2011, 10:35 AM

meh, I think they're just young and dumb.

The worst thing is they didn't even have to stop smoking completely, they just needed to be smarter about when to temporarily stop in order to pass a test.

I thought i remmeber reading somewhere that Gibbs used to have older trustworhty plaers assigned to some of the younger ones, that pretty much watched them 24 hrs a day, maybe that was George Allen,
