This kid was one of my sleeper binkies last year, and I was disappointed when the Steelers grabbed him in the 5th round of the 2012 draft. But after last night, Alfonzo Dennard's legal problems pale in comparison:

Steelers' Alameda Ta'amu charged with felony DUI - NFL.com

Three felony counts including 2 assault charges while intoxicated? That's serious stuff.

Didn't see that one coming. I can't remember any major red flags, off the top of my head. But I'd guess his career just took a major derailment.

Off The Grid

When police tried to pull him over, Ta'amu reportedly drove his car at them.

Well, I'm sure it seemed like the thing to do at the time!!

Obviously, Taamu was a major Binkie of mine, and I would've been ecstatic to've pull'd'm down when the Steelers did...

Always in motion, the Future is.

I suppose there's three possibilities:

1. His performances in practice are not up to scratch.

2. He's going to prison and the Steelers recognise that fact.

3. He's a bigger headache than the one incident demonstrates and the Steelers realise they won't be able to control him


Whichever is the right one, I say stay away.


OT: Did you see that the Rams made Janoris Jenkins a healthy scratch for a rules violation? Didn't even make it to half a season before the problems set in.

I certainly wasn't suggesting putting in a claim on Ta'amu. Not interested. Pats have picked their risks already.

Well, they did release Tarpinian today. . . .

Seriously, though, I think they'll pass.
