Concur.

Mike jones saying he didn't even piss dirty, just missed the test. That even more ridiculous in my book.

We shouldn't worry though. Ty Nsehke is more than capable.

Shouldn't worry? One of the best LT's in the game and perhaps our best player is on the shelf and all is cool because we have Nsehke? Get the heck outta here.

I know i will catch hell for this but..I would trade him. get as much as you can and let him go..what good is he to us for the next 4 games?? if we lose 3 of them we are done ..trade him in offseason ..he will do this again ...and again...i give anybody a free pass once but come on dude..for real?? He knew when he did it he was going to get caught and this would happen..what does that say about his respect for his team..it says I don't give a crap..yea he is good maybe the best on team but you can't have this crap! say we had won the last two games and things were looking great and to have this happen..and i don't want to hear about its the same as a injury..you don't hurt yourself on purpose..factor in the injury bug and he could come back get hurt and miss most of the rest of season. This may be the most upset i have been in a while over this team..I can take losing if the team is trying hard but this is a selfish letdown and makes me sick..

Ugh let the overreacting begin. Hey I know, let's send a message and just cut him.

@MarkBullockNFL
This news means #Redskins will be without Trent Williams against the #Vikings, #Packers, #Cowboys and #Cardinals.

No sweat guys we've got this covered, Ty Nsehke for the win.

And what would be bad about a message like that going out to a guy who is now a repeat offender for the league's substance abuse policy? I realize he's a great player but honestly sometimes its more important about doing the right thing and sending the right message, mainly something like "The Washington Redskins do not condone using illegal drugs of any kind, and while we appreciate Trent's contributions to the team, this type of behavior cannot be tolerated or accepted. We wish Trent well in future endeavors and hope that he gets the help that he needs".

Or do we do the old Snyder / Vinny thing and say, "well, he's our best player, so we have to let him do whatever he wants and make sure he has a roster spot here while paying him handsomely".

I realize i am prone to over-reaction like suggesting we cut Hopkins, but IMO this is ridiculous. We have a moral responsibility as a team, and I thought part of Scott M's philosophy was to have "character guys". A repeat offender on the substance policy is not a "character guy". He's hurt the team with his retarded ass actions. We HAVE to just stop accepting shit like this and mentally saying "oh, we're the redskins, this is just the way it is".

pathetic.

extremely disappointed in him.

I expected more from the highest paid o-lineman in the NFL

[Meks]

Whatever the circumstamce is... he's not expendable lol. Theres no need to fly off the handle and cut one of the best LTs in the league. Maybe he'll get the message of losing over a MIL ... let him get that message. And personally no. TY doesnt make me feel "fine" about it not even close.

[Schneed10]

I am fucking livid. I don't understand irresponsible behavior in any form, let alone from someone who is paid so much.

So he just blew the test off? WTF!!!! That is just as if not dumber than testing dirty!!!

SS84. SM is a repeat drunk and he got another shot because he is extremely good. That's life's reality and morality lesson. TW has been good to go for 5+ years. I have no idea what happened. Clearly it wasn't a good enough reason for an appeal to win, but lets not act like this guy was Fred Davis. He has laid his body on the line more times than you or I have for the Burgundy and gold and I believe earned a pass( no puffs though). It will come up at contract time and maybe he and the team move on then. But for now use the 4week + bye layoff to heal and come back ready to win.

As for the on field impact, our depth is temporarily shot, for the next four games we are one injury away from starting Vinston Painter or shifting Scherff out of position. Nsekhe is a fine pass protector but he will give up more pressure than an all pro Williams, naturally. So McVay's reaction as a play caller will be matchup-based. Against Dallas he can probably call the offense as usual. Against Arizona and Minnesota we are probably going to limit ourselves to shorter drops, it will limit the impact DeSean Jackson can have for us.

We miss a ton in the run game. Trent is athletic enough to get out and lead block 15 yards downfield. Nsekhe just can't. We'll surely run right more often behind Scherff, which is a good way to live, but it's predictable.

It's a massive loss, don't kid yourself. Especially because of the small possibility that this gets Cousins injured on a blindside shot. Even if it doesn't, we will need the defense and special teams to step up. We need to generate turnovers, and we need to flip the field.
