Cedric Suspended 4 Games

The NFL substance abuse policy is so convoluted and secretive that I gave up trying to figure it out long ago.

End of the day, all that matters to me is that Cedric Griffin won't be on the field for us the next four games.

Atleast we'll have him back for the playoffs :)

Not too smart by the FO to know Cedric was going to be possibly suspended for a good while with Routt out there on the market. Really no logic behind that decision. Crawford is an inexperienced, raw corner who is not a better player than Routt. So there no arguement Crawford is a stronger player, he is clearly not or he'd be at least active for our games.

Maybe, but maybe they believe Crawford can compete. CG was playing at a pretty good level IMO (better than Routt) and probably just kept Crawford off the field.

I like the FO using our drafted talent too.

You have a lot more confidence in Crawford than I do. He looked good in preseason with those INTs but looked like crap against the Cincinatti Bengals receivers. He got burned like Freddy Kruger for a long TD pass. Hopefully, he's been fine tuning his coverage skills in practice since we last saw him against Minnesota.

That reminded me of when Marcus Washington was under suspicion with the league, it seemed like nobody knew what was going on if memory serves. Super frustrating.

Just so everyone remembers, Crawford was horrible in coverage when given that chance earlier this year. Maybe he has put it together and can contribute, obviously I hope so.

Browner of the Seahawks got the bad news today also.

It just popped into my head, but why didn't Griffin just serve the time while he was hurt? Instead of appealing it and dragging it out, why not just serve that suspension during that time he wasn't playing. I imagine that failed drug test came up some time ago.

Maybe it was a longer suspension? But yeah it doesn't make sense. They could have taking his paycheck away while he was hurt.

Is it possible he failed his test while he was hurt and the process was on going while he got healthy?

Very well could be. Like Smoot mentioned, the whole process is so secretive that it's hard to know without the league,team or player commenting and that's very unlikely to happen. It was just a random thought that popped in my head. He very well may have been notified a week or so after he got back. Who really knows.... just random shit popping in my head. :)
