I guess he's officially gone (Koren Robinson)

[Patler]

is TT really capable of running an NFL team?

This crap shouldn't happen. We knew going into this that this could happpen, now we have Driver, Jennings and who? Like the above poster stated, our pants are around out ankles, I will only state that our pud is also hanging out.

Who, now maybe the Moss trade will come out even though the deadline has passed.

I guess I don't understand why this upsets anyone. The Packers knew this was a possibility. They are no worse off than they were going into the Bears game from a roster standpoint, except they now have injuries at the position. The question with Robinson was never much about if he would be suspended, but more about when it would occur.

Possibility? No a certainty and if anyone is surprised they are very foolish indeed.

I guess this isn't that bad. When would you rather have Robinson?

1. Now, when we're already out of the playoff race.

OR
2. Next season, when we might be competing for a playoff spot.

Agreed Ballhawk. Hopefully, he keeps himself on course during his time away.

Does anyone know the type of "interaction" he's allowed to have with the team? Can't practice, right? Can he attend meetings?

Will Blackmon at WR perhaps??

I think he can't have any contact whatsoever with the team, at least that's what I recall with Ontarrio Smith.

[MJZiggy]

Maybe he'll do inpatient rehab for a year and then he can't mess up and will be so sick of rehab that the mere thought of another year like that will keep him sober...I know I'm joking, but I can't seem to put a smilie on this one.

You really are much too bitter about this Rastak. I'm not sure why. Players have been screwing over teams in all sports for years. I have less tolerance for the abusers of illegal drugs, those who commit sexual assaults, etc. But, I've stated my reasons for that at length before and won't go into it again.

I guess I should have said a possibility for this season. In some ways it is a little unusual, based on some of my research, for the suspension to start now. For the few situations I could think of, when there was an arrest and subsequent trial or other proceeding, the league seemed to always wait until after that was complete before handing down their discipline. That is what Robinson asked for now, and it would not have surprised me if the league did that.

Ahman Green was faced with a similar situation, but not because of the substance abuse program. When the domestic violence charge was filed against him, it was not his first, and some feared a suspension might occur. However, the league waited for the final disposition of the legal case before even reviewing it. I found that to be the typical scenario.

I assumed KR would be suspended, but I thought it might (emphasize MIGHT) not occur until next off-season.

It was the same for Torrance Marshall's 4 game suspension a couple years ago. He was allowed no contact with the team at all. He wasn't allowed in the facility or to have contact with the staff. There was an article about how the team supplied a work out regimen, etc. through a trainer, but it was all arranged ahead of time and they were not allowed to check up on him, supply notes or anything that rostered players received while he was gone.

I was outright shocked it took this long. And I've already admitted to being bitter old pal! Okay, maybe we're not old pals. This couldn't have been more cut and dried. If he get's dinged on the felony the NFL would be within it's rights to tack more on for being a moron.

[Noodle]

Will Blackmon at WR perhaps??

Maybe, but that young'uns going to have his hands full being assignment-sure at CB, let alone having to learn the offense. Maybe if you line him up and just have him run go routes all damn day it would work.

And Patler, aren't we worse off than in the Bears game? There we had at least 3 (Driver, Jennings, Fergy), now we have two, unless Fergy is over his injury. And I also don't know why we got so down on Gardner. He looked pretty good last year. He had a rocky pre-season, but again, at least he's a guy who knows the offense, has been through camp, and could have stepped in.

If we bring in someone cold, they're at least a couple of weeks away from being in a position where they can contribute.

But here's a thought -- why not Green? We've got a couple of guys who can play a little RB, and Green could maybe do a Faulk-type gig at WR. If his hammy holds.

Oh I remember you admitting to your bitterness a few weeks ago, but you seemed to be getting over it. I feel bad because this announcement has awakened your old demons!

It really has nothing to do with it being "cut and dried". Clearly it was, as were some others. Its a question of due process, and allowing the system to run its course, that's all. As I wrote, that's how it was done before, even in what seemed to be cut and dried situations.

Understood!

I'll try and calm down. I'm fighting this damn cold and it's making me hate Koren Robinson.....maybe hate is too strong a word by far....intense dissapointment perhaps....

[Iron Mike]

What's Taco Wallace up to???

[Rastak]

Actually on a serious note, with Koren Robinson 100% sure to get booted, did TT "F" this up by not getting a bit deeper at WR? It's been alluded to in this thread. If I were a Packer fan I'd be sorta pissed unless TT was deliberately shooting for a high pick, and it's too early for that.

[MJZiggy]

I don't think he was counting on Fergy being out, although why he thinks he'd be healthy now when he's never been before is beyond me...time for Martin to step up.
