Id be surprised if the NFL players "boycott". I dont think they can afford it. Salary structure is much different than in the NBA. Too many players cant do it. 

This.  The # of underpaid and fringe roster guys far outweigh the "stars" in the NFL.  They need to play.

I dont know how anyone can have ANY confidence in him at this point. Hes incredibly soft. 

I'd like to see him play to make any judgment.  Kempski put an over/under at 3.5 games before he gets pulled. We will know pretty quickly into the Washington game how good he is.

Zero chance that kid goes to jail. 

Why ?? He killed two people.  Self defense will not apply in his situation.

Do you know why? They were chasing and assaulting him. Do you know who he killed?

Not happy people died, but they got what they asked for. Kid defended himself from some nasty people.

It absolutely will, Mike. He is getting off. Sex offender chasing a minor down the street. Yeah, a jury isn't going against him. Another with a  criminal history that includes charges of battery & repeat domestic abuse hitting the kid with a skateboard. Jury isn't going against the kid there either.

Bringing back Peters as RG and giving him off all the padded practices just seems like a terrible idea: 

If Dillard is a disaster bring back Peters will look like a brilliant move.

That I get.  More talking about if Slay or Maddox got dinged up or needed a breather. I'd assume it would be either Douglas or Jones who comes in rather than shifting NRC permanently to the outside and putting LeBlanc in the slot.  So from that angle I'm happy to have Jones back.  He has been a disappointment but he has flashed a lot more than Douglas IMO.

It's difficult to gage what any of these corners have because Schwartz seems to have it out for some players at times. New secondary coach hopefully figures that out and now it seems Douglas is even further down the list which I agree with he is to damn slow

If Peters is still standing by then.

They should just call it what it is, Dillard insurance. Get a full time actual RG to get some type of consistency during these few practices. I’m not even sure if the first team line has taken a single drill together yet.

With Castle Doctrine, when someone uses force intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm (such as shooting another person) in the course of defending themselves they have civil immunity from prosecution. This is known as "stand your ground" protection. It presumes the person is otherwise not breaking the law themselves and believes they were in reasonable fear of imminent death or great bodily harm when someone unlawfully and forcibly entered their dwelling, motor vehicle or place of business.

He was breaking the law, and no one unlawfully or forcibly entered his dwelling, motor vehicle or place of business.

Toohill to the practice squad?  He's had a good camp.  I still think Jones might make it.  That list of corners makes me nervous.  If Maddox goes down, Rasul has to step in outside.  Do not want.  

You could always dip into your safety depth put Mills back at CB if there is an injury. It’s not ideal but Mills/Parks is on the field is probably better than Douglas/Mills

Why do we do this and go into someone’s history to see if they have anything on their record to vilify them? It’s so hypocritical. When that gets done to a comedian or actor cause of "cancel culture”, it’s a problem right?

 

Difference is, this kid doesn’t know their history, nor does their history matter. Because they have committed a crime in the past does not give anyone the right to kill them. Put them on trial.

Fine, one small charge that ends up getting dropped. Also, we don't know if his dad was there as was reported. Either way a jury isn't going to care. He will not be convicted of murder. Sex offender and domestic abuser assaulting him. Get ready to hear "not guilty".

They were chasing him after he had already shot at people and to try to keep him from shooting others.  He should be prosecuted for murder.

Because it matters. Same way we go into the cops past in Minn. They aren't good people and were in the process of assaulting the kid. Past matters. You are right he doesn't, but we saw their present on the video. Put that in front of a jury with their past and "not guilty" is going to be heard.

What a waste of a pick.  I haven't heard a damn thing about him since he was drafted.

LOL sure. There is no way for an expensive attorney to get it out. They aren't victims. They were the perpetrators.

We missed on Shareef Miller. He was the last pick of RD4. It happens.

If Toohill is even a rotational player, then missing on Miller doesn't matter.

All we know for certain (to the best of my knowledge) is a knife was in the car along with his kids. 
 

The real issue is that shouldn’t matter. If a kid with a AR can get apprehended, why can’t someone unarmed, or armed with a knife? 

Maybe the kid with the a/r complied
