Robinson signed to two year deal

[Scott Campbell]

I'm with Ras. We have enough problems on this team.

On a related note, Courtney Love will be singing the national anthem for the Saints game.

The question has been raised about who will be released to make room on the roster. There are two areas of "overload".

WR/TE with a possible 9.
DT with 6. That is an extraordinary number of tackles, although I suspect one or more are being schooled as DEs, where the #s are low.

With the injuries to Coston, Henderson, and Blackmon, I can't see a reduction at OL, RB or DB. The only other possible is Tracy White..

My guess is Tory Humphries is gone tomorrow.

Alcorn will be gone; Humphreys to PS.

Right. That could happen too. And it's Humphrey, not Humphries. My bad.

eyyyyyyyyyyyyy

its hard to figure this one out

is he a good player and will he help this team when he's on the field? absolutely

but can he be trusted and are we able to count on him? no

one thing i read a week ago or so, over at packerchatters, i think by flipout, who i think said he was in the justice field. is that his hearing in washington will probably get pushed back to sometime in the offseason, at that point he's looking at around 3 months of jail time for the violation of his probation. and i guess the courts are very helpfull in fitting this time into peoples schedule, so he shouldn't have a problem getting that time in during the offseason. but then he will probably have a hearing in minnesota, now they could say he's served his time and just let him go, or they could give him a few more months of jail time.

still he could be done with any jail time by the start of next years preseason, or sometime during it.

now i read somewhere else that the league will not take action until all the court dates are over with. so IF he gets suspended at all it might not happen until next year

now on to the substance abuse problem. can you really suspend a guy for the whole year because he had 4 or 5 beers? i would say a very large chunk of nfl players and coaches and front office people drink. i would think someone would put up a huge fuss about the guy getting suspended for a whole year because he did what most other nfl people do.

his crime wasn't that he drank, it was that he drove after he drank, and lead cops on a chase. thats something that should be suspendable, but not for a year, and not under the substance abuse thing IMO

if your going to suspend a guy because he drinks, then you damn well better suspend 90% of the nfl



oh yeah, my guess is herron or david martin are gone

and i have picked up k-rob on my FF team lol

Red, he agreed to stay sober as a condition of employment with the NFL due to several alcohol related crimes. He didn't and he'll soon be fired for a year.

He was too fucking hammered to remember any of them.....enjoy having him...LOL....

[AtlPackFan]

At least the Packers are protected contractwise. He can step in short-term and provide a boost to the return game and maybe help at receiver. Then when the hammer drops, hopefully Blackmon will be ready to roll and Jennings has his game feet.

I remember Wolf taking a couple fliers out on players that were on suspension (D-Back, can't remember his name) and also brought the much maligned Rison in. Some work out some don't. If Koren gets his act together, it willeventually be a very good pick-up. If not, well no harm financially and he isnt a child rapist.

Wow, that is good news that the Packers are protected contractwise. That way if Koren goes out, gets drunk and then kills someone in an accident the Packers won't have to pay him. Whew! Glad we don't have to worry about that.

Sorry folks, I agree with Rastak on this one. Dealing with head cases like Moss and TO are one thing, dealing with substance abusers - especiallly abusers who COULD be dangerous to others - is a whole nother ball game.

A couple of other notes...
1. I also believe in second chances - Koren has had his!
2. Do you really think taking his driver's license away and hiring him a driver is going to keep him from driving if he feels like it? Don't think so.

I'm not sure that Wisconsin is the best destination for a recovering alchoholic.

[MadtownPacker]

Hey Madtown, since nobody got hurt....


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What you talking about TL?

The guy is a mess, fine, just get him in the shower, scrub all the purple off him and throw his ass out there. After yesterday I dont care if they sign olinemen outta prison, at least you know they will be in shape!

The dude can return kicks when sober, I'll give him that. Since he decided treatment wasn't needed you better hope he's not smelling of elderberries in team meetings.

[red]

i would hope as part of his new deal he gets a fulltime driver and a nanny, and he has to have piss tests done everyday. and if theres any trace of alcohol, he's gone

[MadtownPacker]

Well if this doesnt work out for him there's always the raiders.

[Packnut]

Point

Once again several here miss the point. Forget about the question of if this guy should have been signed and focus on the question of why are we in this position to begin with? I think TT had a reasonable amount of time to find a KR but he views the postion much the way he views the O line- anyone can do it..............
