Colts tackle Ed Johnson busted in pot possession case
By Phil Richards
Posted: September 10, 2008

A Indianapolis Colts president Bill Polian announced today that defensive tackle Ed Johnson was arrested for speeding and possession of marijuana early this morning in Hamilton County.

"Those charges have been filed, it is my understanding, and we are in the process right now of determining what course of action to take with respect to discipline," Polian said. "There will be discipline, the question is what is it."

Johnson is a starter but coach Tony Dungy said he would not play Sunday when the Colts face Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Dungy said he was uncertain who would replace the second-year player from Penn State in the lineup.

Johnson was unavailable for comment.

WOW, a player on St. Dungy's team did what?

The punishment will probably be 10 hail mary's.

This is a big blow for the Colts since their run defense was miserable against the Bears and are about to face Adrian Peterson. Johnson is their best DT with Raheem Brock moving to starting DE. I can see the Colts going 0-2 with the Jags the following week.

I'm sure he'll say he was holding it for a Patriots player.

How do you tell Johnson that he's suspended for pot possession but that Marvin Harrison is scot-free after shooting at people?

Both incidents are alleged of course. No one has been found guilty.

I agree AP should run wild on Indy but I don't see how Jackson and the WR are going to keep up with Peyton so I would still put this in the W column for Indy.

With the Colts' o-line being turnstyles and the Vikings having an even better d-line than the Bears, I think the Vikings can keep up with the one to two TDs that Manning will put up on Sunday. I think that the two Williams DTs and Jared Allen are going to be all over Manning on Sunday that he might press charges for gang rape.

If Manning had even an average o-line, I might agree with you. But he has a mediocre o-line especially up the middle which is poison for a pure pocket passer. Manning had a deer in the headlights look on Sunday night and I expect him to have it again this Sunday.

Good for the Colts for suspending him. I hate it when teams don't suspend players because they "need" them.
