Johnny Jolly Charged With Possession Again
Trouble brews for Houston native Johnny Jolly once again. The defensive end, who was suspended from the Green Bay Packers for felony drug charges in 2008, was arrested in Houston early Friday morning.

Houston police stopped Jolly’s Escalade for a traffic violation at 12:45 a.m. on the 9900 block of Westpark. Jolly presented a state identification card rather than a driver’s license, and police learned that his license is suspended and is not eligible for renewal.

While searching the vehicle, police discovered that Jolly was in possession of 600 grams of Codeine, which is a felony charge. Police also discovered another unidentified substance, which has been sent in for testing.

At this time, it is unknown if the amount of controlled substances found in Jolly’s vehicle could be heavy enough to be considered for charges of possession with intent to distribute.

Jolly, a three-time all-district defensive lineman at Forest Brook High School in Houston, attended Texas A&M and became a starting defensive tackle. The Packers selected Jolly in the sixth round of the 2006 NFL Draft.

Jolly now goes directly to sentencing on his previous guilty plea. He's looking at up to 20 years. It's hard to imagine the judge giving him much of a break now. I'd guess he'll serve a few years minimum.

[mmmdk]

Just read it too; good grief. Too bad for Jolly and even Packers but more so: too stupid as well. Yup, bye bye Jolly!

[RashanGary]

Anybody who is that good at football but can't keep it together off the field like this, you have feel bad for him. Complete self destruction.


Too bad for the Packers too. He's a good player.

[sharpe1027]

At least he did it before the draft.

[vince]

Yeah. I now hope Cameron Heyward drops.

[Lurker64]

At least he was a sixth round draft pick, so it's not like we didn't get back value for the pick.

But this does move 5-tech up the list somewhat, especially since we have no (above-board) way of knowing what Wilson or Wynn are developing.

[get louder at lambeau]

This is why you don't draft players with low wonderlich scores and a police record. Goddamn you gotta be stupid to get where Jolly is right now.

[red]

damnit, stupid fucker. i just saw it two

i didn't think there was a chance in hell TT would draft a D-lineman in the first, and i thought we would be fine with jolly coming back.

now jolly is done for sure, what a god damn idiot

I've been studying what the possibilities are for our pick at # 32 and the more I look at it I believe unless a steal pick for us drops that TT will trade down. I base that thought on two historical facts:

1. TT loves to pile up picks and this draft has a lot to offer him in rounds two - four.

2. The Packer system is much to do with getting players into the fold that buy into the Coaching program and are willing to fit into our roster and grow with the system ... contribute as team players. That dictates that TT will select character players with dedicated football attitudes and a work ethic to be a part of 'the team'.

I do not see TT making a glamour pick. He will make moves to solidify our DL and OL as a first priority.

Many of us are salivating over the likes of a Brooks Reed or maybe a WR ( I like Maryland wide receiver Torrey Smith) that he could be prepared to replace DD and improve our return game immediately; but IMO TT will take a more conservastive approach in this upcoming draft. He will stock pile picks and rely on the system already in place in Green Bay and where needed bring in players released from other NFL teams as we saw him do this past season. History has proven that undrafted players can contribute.

The moves he made last season with all the injuries proved that he may have arrived as a GM in the Bill Belichick mold; and for that 'as a Packer fan' I am grateful and choose to be hopeful. For the longest time he seemed to be frozen or afraid to make a mistake. TT finally proved to me that he could expand his manner of managing. I trust that he learned that it's a day to day job to manage our football team and not to just make a move out of necessity.


GO PACKERS!

[RashanGary]

Woodbuck, I don't think TT learned the things you knew he needed to learn to become good. I think you learned that he was doing the things that worked.

Humility, sir. Humility.

When you're wrong (the way you were on TT) just admit it and move forward. We've all been there, even Patler.

600 grams, Jesus Christ, that's over a pound! Or maybe he had it already mixed and they're counting the entire bottle of Whatever. Either way, I suspect interest in Cullen Jenkins might have just picked up a little.

This isn't a matter of humility. It's taking a position based on careful observation of Ted Thompson's style of managing. What was I wrong about? Wanting Ted Thompson to adopt a daily regieme of improving our team and not being too cautious in that pursuit? He has been criticized as a GM that was afraid to make a mistake. That criticism was made by many NFL fans and God forbid, Packer fans.

You take a post not in it's entirety but slam it because of your need somehow to be judgementle of the poster. That has little effect on me.

Ted Thompson did not win us a Super Bowl. It took many parts and IMO an unbelievable stage of events and good fortune.

I love what TT did last season as we saw our team face certain adversity. IMO, the reason he brought in players 'off the street', and I take nothing away from his assessment of those players, was clearly because he had to do so of a necessity. I am not yet willing to give all the credit to Ted Thompson. A whole lot of the credit has to go to our teams coaching staff that took those players and molded them. Those coachs had to deal with the adversity and sell TT on need and he came through. I give Ted thompson full credit there.

The response was these new players responding to the coach's and fitting very well into the system that TT and the coach's have adopted. I give Ted Thompson credit there. I am seeing Ted thompson grow as our GM. I stop right there. I believe I will see more good things from Ted Thompson.

That's not enough for you? If that's the case so be it.

I am not ready to declare that Ted Thompson is the answer 'to everyting good' about managing an NFL franchise. I am looking forward to observing how Ted Thompson grows as out GM. Many choose to declare that TT is something altogether 'very special'. I hope that his style of managing earns him the right to be assessed as the finest GM in the NFL.

As a fan of the Packers my criticisms are fair. Humility has nothing to do with observation and an informed opinion. Humility has nothing to do with bowing to the status quo. As a fan I have every right to be informed and comment as I feel is fair. Never need to feel a need to be one of the group or fear judgement by that group or feel powerless.

GO PACKERS!

[pittstang5]

I had completely forgotten about Jolly even coming back. What a moron! He's toast now. Packers should just release him now...if they can because of the CBA issues...as an extra slap in the face. Idiot...complete idiot.
