Official Other Teams Training Camp Thread

[Guiness]

I love when everyday situations (or possibly staged everyday situations) play havoc with the Drug Program.

Miller drops sample, theoretically drinks too much water to pee again in the allowed time frame and gets busted for diluted sample.

Butterfingers or Biogenesis client?

Is that what happened? Where did you see that? I haven't seen anything other than him saying that the test wasn't positive, and I don't think he's the most reliable source of information. I love his other story, quote, "The crazy thing is, I haven’t heard anything from the NFL" then later the same day we find out the suspension went through, meaning he already had his appeal. Personally, I consider attending an appeal hearing to fall in the category of 'hearing from the league"

According to multiple sources and reported by multiple outlets, Miller was flagged in the testing process for a diluted sample, and the NFL announced that he would be suspended as a result. Miller had already tested positive for marijuana and amphetamines in 2011, and there was some discussion as to whether Miller would appeal the testing process leading to that result. He met last Thursday to decide whether to appeal his current suspension, and decided not to at that time.

Not sure where PB got the more detailed information.

I don't remember, was he considered to be a character risk before his draft?

Funny you should ask because Albert Breer would like you to know there is nothing to worry about.

A few things on Von Miller's background, from club scouting reports ... So you can have a more accurate picture on the kid.

Albert Breer @AlbertBreer 12m
1) Miller was known at A&M to be a guy who grew up as he went along, so sometimes he'd have to learn the hard way. Not unusual stuff.

Albert Breer @AlbertBreer 12m
2) Miller didn't fail any drug tests at A&M, but did serve a suspension for an academic reason. Again, more immaturity than anything else.

Albert Breer @AlbertBreer 10m
3) Only things Miller had on his record were speeding tickets that led to a license suspension, and admission he smoked a little pot in HS.

Albert Breer @AlbertBreer 10m
4) All the problems Miller had coming in were considered very manageable. College kid-type things. Needed to grow up a little, that's all.

Le'Von Bell with a lisfranc.

Will Carroll @injuryexpert 3m

Lisfranc for Bell according to reports. Likely ends his season.

And the Detroit Leos continue to have phenomenal luck on the injury front. Couple guys being held out for .... hold your breath ... one practice.

They are also signing vets off the street left and right. Signed three defensive players the other day - a lineman, a linebacker, a defensive back. Then they signed a veteran tackle. Don't have the names off the top of my head.

[denverYooper]

Yeah, well, they suck anyway.

If Schottey is to be believed, the Kitties signed all of those players because their D has looked like shit so far.

Steelers saying 6-8 weeks.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with the 9ers D this year. It's been the heart and soul of that team, but there have been some injuries and changes lately. Notably, their safety situation is up in the air. Packers fans know well the problems that can arise when your Safeties can be had.

Eric Branch @Eric_Branch 11m

#49ers have placed safety Darcel McBath (foot) on IR; signed LB Joe Holland, who spent 2012 offseason with team.

[MadScientist]

Two Bucs players have staph infections (possibly toe injury related).

Hopefully the Packers are on top of disinfecting the locker room. If not, bleach the hell out of it before this strikes here.

Just send red up there with a gallon of white lightning.

Looks like SF may need the 'Savior of Safeties'

[denverYooper]

Apparently Luke Kuechly is putting the league on notice tonight.

Thy rod and thy staph, they do not comfort me.

Is he quitting? Did he give the full two weeks?
