formul8or Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 He was attempting to become the heaviest safety in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Purple Label Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 It really looks like something is wrong with him. I can't believe he is gaining weight. It looks like he has something, or is on something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol'_dirty2 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 marvinthemartian (6/27/2008)What happened? Any reason given?I think the real question is "What reason was there to keep him?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeithappen Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Marvin, no real explanation was given, other than it being a "football decision."On the outside looking in, I take that to mean that his actual talent and desire outweighs his perceived value when he entered the league. His history:-- Busted with weed, while playing for an image conscious owner-- Missing practice, instead of auditioning for new coaches who did not draft him and have no allegience to him.-- Showing up overweight, when your profession requires you to perform at peak physical conditioning.-- Consistently being unable to unseat journeymen players, like Chris Crocker, who on paper, do not have his size, speed, and range.In short, 3 coaching regimes came to the same conclusion: he is not starting material. For a new regime that wants to clean house, his continual actions make him expendable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitaman Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Superb summation by makeithappen. I remember the staff being elated with the pick. They considered it incredible value for his potential and where he fell to in the draft. It is rare that someone is given this many chances to play and then is cut...and then finds himself. That being said, I wish the best for JW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballin in atl Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I believe that had Petrino not been hired and the last (and hopefully would still be the current) regime had kept him at CB, his career would have went better because in the limited time that he saw his rookie year, i liked him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
