Smokey says oh great 2 more dumb asses.
Wow, I don’t have to wait until another dismal performance on the field to rip into Fulmer, go figure. Yesterday Fulmer suspended starting defensive tackle Demonte’ Bolden and reserve tailback LaMarcus Coker one game for the ever so secretive a “violation of team rules”.
Fulmer declined to provide specifics regarding the suspensions, including when the violations occurred. After all you can’t have super secret double probation rules if everyone knows about them. That goes for the players as well.
“That’s all I’m really allowed to say about that right now, those guys are important to us. We certainly hope to have them back and ready to go for Arkansas.” Fulmer said. Yes, that’s it Phil pull the ever increasing in popularity “suspend them for the patsy game” card out, or as I like to call it the “Urban Meyer Rule”.
Here’s where I have problem, this is the third suspension for Coker since December, when he missed five practices in Knoxville leading up to the Outback Bowl.
He also served a month-long suspension beginning in August for another super secret double probation violation before being reinstated prior to the second game of the season against Southern Mississippi.
Phil that’s three strikes, he should be gone. I know Coker averages 26.5 yards-per-return average and ranks fourth in the SEC but you have true freshmen Lennon Creer and Denarius Moore as options to replace him on kickoffs alongside Dennis Rogan.
Creer and fellow tailback Montario Hardesty should be ready to play behind starter Arian Foster against the Ragin’ Cajuns. Honestly you should have been playing Hardesty a lot more this year in the first place.
Ryan Karl the slow fat linebacker expressed disappointment when asked about his teammates’ suspensions, but was not worried about any lingering effects.
“Of course you’re disappointed, but you know they’re going to be back next week giving their all, thanks to Coach pulling out patsy game card” he said. “They’re two great players. We’ve just got to find two guys to make plays in place of them.”
“They’re both great backups,” Karl said. “All of them probably play the same amount of snaps every game. With his (Bolden’s) physical presence on the field, we’re going to miss him. But we have a whole bunch of experience there, so we won’t be hurting that bad. Besides we’ve sucked defensively all year so who’s going to notice?”
I went to my magic 8-Ball to find the answers of why these two players were suspended…. Read the rest of this entry »
