Brandon Meriweather Found Guilty of Reckless Driving (DWI Case)

2-4 game suspension is my guess.

Would be absolutely shocked if he is suspended. He didn't plead to a DWI; he plead to reckless driving. Correct me if I'm wrong, but players don't get suspended for speeding/passing other vehicles improperly.

I'm just going to call it now. Next offseason we're going to be looking at this secondary and say "WTF was the front office thinking?"

Not that it matters to much. At this point it's all about getting better not making a Super Bowl run. Still I think we'll look back at this unit as a disaster not all to different from the Cowboys woes last season. Then again if they get a Steelers like pass rush going they'll be able to cover up the problems in the defensive backfield.

The Steelers will be wanting a Redskins-like pass rush this season.

Fletcher, Orakpo, Kerrigan, Carricker, Cofield, Jenkins, Bowen, Golston, Alexander, Riley Robinson, Wilson, heck even Hall on CB blitzes...we're going to be in the backfield all day long.

I think our pass rush will help this pathetic secondary a lot. Forget about deep balls, the QB won't have time to wait for his receivers to get downfield. We WILL give up a lot of big plays but it's not going to be as bad as we think. I think we'll see a tough D that shuts down opponents 95% of the time, with that other 5% being big, busted, long TDs given up by this secondary.

Forget the old band-but-not-break D...it's doing to be, "Hope we don't break too many times".

Would be absolutely shocked if he is suspended. He didn't plead to a DWI; he plead to reckless driving. Correct me if I'm wrong, but players don't get suspended for speeding/passing other vehicles improperly.

Hopefully you are right and we don't see it.

I guess the response to my argument would be that Big Ben was suspended for conduct that did not result in charges, but then again he was a repeat offender (or rather, had been accused of the same conduct more than once). Bottom line Brandon - don't do it again and don't otherwise be an idiot.

While Meriweather is on suspension, Cedric Griffin and Madieu Williams will play wonderfully in his place.

Our secondary is disappearing!

Have to have one first in order for it to disappear :silly:

You know what I find funny? How everyone preaches not to drink and drive, and then you see people getting the punishment reduced. I don't know any details of this case, but I saw something a couple of months ago. One of my Marines had to go to court and pay a small fine. While there, I saw 6 DUI's get reduced to speeding tickets. "Cop didn't have the dash cam on", "guy refused to take a sobriety test", "It was my first traffic violation". I coudn't belive it.

Secondary and OL are starting to lessen. We need Tanard healthy if merriweather is going to miss 1/4 or more of the season.
