Shady gets exonerated, but with this and Karlos Williams doing his best Mike Williams (OL) impression, RB is becoming a weak spot.

Coooooooooooooooool

[Mahdi]

Looks like Mike Gillislee has turned to black magic to win this RB competition. Effective.

[sukie]

Why? because of a DUI? silly reasoning.

How much suspension time does a guy typically get for a first time DUI conviction if his record is otherwise clean?

[Yasgur's Farm]

What happens in the privacy of the oval office... Oh, wait... What happens with private email servers... Ahh crap... I guess he's screwed.

[sukie]

maybe there will be a massive investigation and he may only be deemed reckless and careless.

I think it's a 2 game suspension minimum. I assume that's for a DUI conviction, not for just being charged. We'll see if he can plead his way down to something else, but who knows what Roger will do even if that happens.

If he gets convicted, probably 4 games.

Most likely, he'll get a good lawyer, plead guilty to a lesser offense and get a suspended sentence and Goodell will make him sit for one game.

Just drink by yourself at home and don't go anywhere you can't walk to. Problem solved.

I don't know. Was shortly after http://bills.buffalonews.com/2016/07/08/trade-secrets-thurman-thomas-shares-bills-rookie/ , which I thought was a good thing.

Might not be a big deal in the long run, but isn't a good thing in any case.

[YardRat]

So a china doll, a fatty and a drunk walk into training camp...stop me if you've heard this one before...

Well now he has a sponsor in AA since Thurman is s recovering alcoholic.

Let it play out before telling us what will happen.

Being in Oregon, and a Yay Ducks fan, watching Cardale Jones win a national championship as a third stringer, I was impressed with the poise, but most impressed by his rushing. To compare: Cookie Gilchrist: 6'3" 250#, Cardale Jones: 6'5" 250#. Here's to hoping Thurman puts Jones in FB position, or anywhere in the backfield, with the rush/pass ability, could be a hard setup to defend.

I'm happy for Gillislee though ....

The last time I heard it there was a glass figurine in there somewhere......

Richardson with the Jets got one game for DUI, drag racing, pot in car, 12 year old in car.

This can't be more then that, can it?

Richardson was only found guilty of reckless driving and resisting arrest, not a DUI. There was no pot in the car, just a strong aroma. He was not charged with child endangerment, though he probably should have. He was also in legal possession of a handgun.

He was suspended 4 games in 2015 for substance abuse, so it wasn't even his first offense.

Like I said, it will probably depend on what Williams can plead the charges down to. I'm fairly certain that a DUI conviction is a minimum 2 game suspension.

Mike Gilislee gets to make the team and get some carries, for at least 4 weeks!

While there are some new things to ***** about, maybe certain fans will stop complaining over having too many running backs for a little while.

[YardRat]

Maybe one or two of the 57 wide receivers we're bringing to camp can convert and contribute early in the season.

No need. McCoy and Gillislee are there and Jonathan Williams should be available for the first 4 games.

[HHURRICANE]

Fred Jackson gets classier by the minute.
