Deaderick suspension lifted

[Brock Samson]

Deadrick can be late to all the meetings he wants to be late to for the duration of the playoffs as far as I am concerned, so long as he stays off IR.

I heard he did the warden's tax returns and that of all the screws too. I simply don't believe the rumor about tarring the roof .

God, I hate posts like this. Why are you so obtuse?

Hopefully Deaderick's suspension experience was a tunnel of waste and now that he is on the other side, he can contribute to and celebrate in the rain of success that will be the post-season.

Reiss said he had missed a number of meetings, been fined and subsequently playing time cut because. Apparantly, the message never resonated so he needed a little more of a severe reminder if how to act like a professional and not a student.

He better learn a lesson from that "un-patriot" behavior right now. BB doesn't play the "sorry my dog ate my jockstrap" that's why I missed the meeting bullcrap....

Ideally it transpired like this:

Wilfork and maybe Warren have been in contact with Deaderick. They have been telling him to smarten up(in so many words). Deaderick has been receptive to this, looking to get back on the field and show he has his head straight. When Wright went to IR, Wilfork went to BB and said Deaderick is ready to play it right. BB, being the pragmatist he is, gives Deaderick the chance to show he is ready to go (and helps the DL situation).

Hopefully this is about Deaderick doing the right thing after the suspension and not due to depleted DL desperation.

I think you are spot-on with this.

BB will only step in and execute on disciplinary matters when necessary. Thats the way he works the locker room. He leaves it to the veteran leaders to deliver the message (accountability to the team, etc) and execute on matters that can be resolved in a "Kangaroo Court". His positional coaches and coordinators are responsible for making sure the players are attending meetings, learning the game plans, etc but also can fine players for missed meetings, etc. If the player still has a problem, then BB will be the one to come down with the hammer as now the issue becomes a roster-related matter and BB is ultimately responsible for the roster.

My take is that veterans like Vince & Gerard and Pepper tried to get through to Deaderick and the kid's head got big as he was playing a decent amount. He skipped a bunch of meetings. Vince fined him. Pepper fined him. Finally the team had enough.

I don't think his discretions were as serious as what Willie Andrews did or even ADs little temper tantrums so to speak. The kid just needs a firm hand and direction. He did have some off the field issues at U of A (got shot, etc.) but by all accounts is a good kid. Just not mature yet in the judgement department.

Maybe he just said "I'm sorry"

Or maybe it was a wake up call to the kid. We don't know we can only speculate. This move certainly helps depth, although not a difference maker Deadrick has experience in the 3-4, can hold the point and contain.

I think you are right with a wake up call.
Suspend him during the bye week to send the message that whatever he had been doing is unacceptable and could cost him his job.
Get his head straight and his focus right for the playoffs. If he doesnt respond, he will be a game day inactive and others will play.

Thats a nice rosy story you've got there. But, correct me if I am wrong, it is based solely on your unsubstantiated guess at what goes on in the organization or any fact whatsoever.

Heard Willie Mac talk about it on Best Damn Sports Show Period one time and Demarco Farr was on as well and said that the Rams did the same thing (ex- Miss open tackles on 3rd and 2, you get fined. ). I remember reading (I think the ProJo???) when AD threw his fit on Patricia last year, it was Patricia who fined him for missing the meeting, he threw a fit and BB sent him home.

I dont doubt that some of those things happen. But your post describes the inner workings and chain of command structure and implies BB defers responsiblity and lets players tell him to lift a suspension.
I just think you are taking a few incidents and creating an analsysis of the inner working of the team from it, which is a huge stretch.

I'd have to go back and look, but I don't think I said that players are empowered to execute and lift suspensions. However, I do think BB will lean on veterans and positional coaches for feedback or recommendations on these types of matters.

Of course no one knows exactly what happened with Deaderick but I would think that BB queried Pepper and veterans he trusts on where the kid's head is at before lifting the suspension.

When Wright went on IR this move immediately came to mind.

ditto for me; now let's see if he will respond well, hopefully yes

Watch deaderick be the guy who stops ray rice on 4th and goal at the 1 to seal the win next week.

Well played by you and ausbacker.

 

[RayClay]

I think McGinest and company issued beer money level fines, not the type that preceded suspensions. Could be wrong.

I would bet your week's pay the boy was inconsolable,
tears flowin', unstoppable.
At least I hope it went like that.
An inspirational moment.


He may feel he has been lead out of a lower circle of Hades,
especially given the dismal news, like the nation's
Weekend at Bernie's.

Dead Congresswoman? Dead Reed?
the big kid looking in the mirror and
seeing Deaderick, dead career.

Folks will say BB meant to do that,
or necessity made it necessary.
I prefer the former take.
