aristocrat Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8003562/jacksonville-jaguars-rookie-justin-blackmon-arrested-dui Under Oklahoma law, a driver's blood alcohol level must be .15 or higher to be charged with aggravated DUI. It was the second DUI arrest for the former Oklahoma State star, who also was arrested in 2010 in Texas on a misdemeanor DUI charge. He was suspended one game by Oklahoma State as a result of that arrest.
JimBob2232 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Yikes. I wanted us to draft this guy. I hope he gets his act straight real soon or he will be the next Charles Rogers.

NoSaint Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 ouch. just proof its hard to say whether any of these guys really cleaned up or just hadnt gotten caught. i remember so many people that were positive of where players off field issues stood going into the draft. he was one that was CLEARLY cleaned up, despite the flag of the past dui (atleast according to board speculation).
Astrobot Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Wow...Blackmon arrested, Floyd unlikely to start, maybe Nix is a foreteller of the future.
NoSaint Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Wow...Blackmon arrested, Floyd unlikely to start, maybe Nix is a foreteller of the future. or has access to a ton of info that we dont. although, did we ever hear he wasnt interested in blackmon?
Nick the Greek Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Looks like he'll be serving weekends for this ..
Astrobot Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 or has access to a ton of info that we dont. although, did we ever hear he wasnt interested in blackmon? We know that Nix brought in 2 WR's for a visit. Brian Quick from Appalachian State, who was picked before the Bills pick in the 3rd, and Justin Blackmon. Perhaps they had drinks, and Blackmon finished his before Nix.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Wow...Blackmon arrested, Floyd unlikely to start, maybe Nix is a foreteller of the future. Floyd unlikely to start? Who's ahead of him besides Fitzgerald? Early Doucet? I would have thought he'd be a plug and play guy.
Astrobot Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Floyd unlikely to start? Who's ahead of him besides Fitzgerald? Early Doucet? I would have thought he'd be a plug and play guy. Ken Whisenhunt has rarely started a rookie in Game 1. He has been having quadriceps problems. About 30% of SB Nation say he won't start Week 1. Here's a discussion: http://www.revengeofthebirds.com/2012/5/20/3032740/rotb-reader-poll-by-when-will-michael-floyd-become-a-starter-for-the-arizona-cardinals I will bet Michael Floyd will be injured early in the season but will be starting by Week 4.

Nanker Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Very glad we did not take this guy. He's good, but not as good as his drinkin' self thinks he is. I'd say he's Perry Tuttle good.

So one guy's (on SB Nation no less) speculation that Floyd won't start, based purely on some over-broad generalization that Whisenhunt doesn't start rookies, translates to "Floyd unlikely to start"? What a ridiculous statement. I just don't understand what people here have against Michael Floyd. The article you cite as your source, spurious as it is, even admits that Floyd will get a ton of snaps, even if he doesn't start. Why don't you wait to see what Floyd produces before dismissing his career and insinuating that he's a draft bust.

I will bet Michael Floyd will be injured early in the season but will be starting by Week 4. Are you insinuating not starting for the first 3 weeks is grounds for the bust label?
eball Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Hey, one of coach Mularkey's field trips can be taking the team to prison to visit their teammate!
San Jose Bills Fan Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Hey, one of coach Mularkey's field trips can be taking the team to prison to visit their teammate! LOL! "Bring inmate Blackmon, number 48026, to receptions…"
Hapless Bills Fan Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Wow...Blackmon arrested, Floyd unlikely to start, maybe Nix is a foreteller of the future. Wait, what's up w/ Floyd?
truth on hold Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) At the rate they're going fairley and blackmon will be riding bicycles to practice. Edited June 3, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack
