What stance will the Pats take with... - New England Patriots Forums

Kevin Faulk and Willie Andrews. Particularly if they plead guilty to possession.

If they cut them, then there are 2 new holes on this team. Mewelde Moore would be a much better pick up than anyone in the draft for a 3rd down back, though I don't know enough about his blocking abilities.

As for Willie Andrews, it opens up more space for others to step up to be a gunner on special teams.

If they were to cut Kevin Faulk for this, my god....

Hopefully they'll handle it in house. So, from our vantage, nothing.

The last thing they need are two more holes to fill.

Hopefully this won't turn into another pro/con pot discussion

I assume they are smart enough to realize that even though it's not preferred, a lot of NFL players do it. The only difference with these two is they got caught. I would assume there will be no in house punishment.

Andrews is accused of distribution,a lot more pot. Plus he's a marginal (good) ST player. He's probably gone.

Faulk had a couple doobies. He get's the Robert Parrish "I'm so embarrassed" award.

A lot depends on whether or not this is Faulk's first strike or if he's in the league's substance abuse program. If he's already in the program (we would never know), it's an automatic 4 game suspension.

The argument about pot is really quite irrelevant. The issue is that it is very serious to run afoul of the league's substance abuse program.

No way would either plead guilty. With Faulk, he'll appear in court, and if it's a normal judge, I think he could get off as easily as paying a small fine for having broken the law with the judge continuing the case without a finding for x days. So long as he doesn't get into trouble again during those x days, the charges will be dismissed.

Andrews' case is more serious. I'm sure there's some sort of weight classification, but being caught with a half pound of pot is not a good thing.

How the league and the Pats will handle either situation, I really don't know considering I don't know more details, but my guess is, the Pats will release Andrews.
