Kelly the Dog Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 This is a great post amidst a **** storm of posts with an occasional good one. Although I don't see Percy being the meltdown candidate. He had a smooth ride with Rex in NY. Don't expect that to change here. I think a more likely meltdown candidate is Freddy or Carpenter One word: Jordan Gay.

Pondslider Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I mean at this point they waived a 4th string TE to make room for him. If he's a problem or doesn't work out they're no worse off than they were before.
hondo in seattle Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Wont IK be punished by the league? CBF Like it or not, there's a lot of testosterone in NFL locker rooms. Guys get in fights all the time. So I'm curious how much the league will punish him for doing what players do often. IK didn't do anything unusual. He just did it better.

transient Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 How's his throwing arm? Punches or footballs? I'd say the former's serviceable.
Shoto Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I like IK Geno should of have his jaw broken after not paying IK $600 he owed him. Rex said the Bills would be nasty......I love the signing Edited August 13, 2015 by Shoto

timtebow15 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I don't mind the signing at all. Could become a very good player. Football is so strange - we want these guys to play a violent game where you have to pysch yourself into a type of reckless abandon to play it well and then we expect them to be boy scouts all the time. I have much more tolerance for an incident like this then the drugs or other stupidity that goes on that is premeditated. IK KO should not have punched him of course but Rex knows the guy and it sounds like he's not a bad teammate. Hopefully an isolated incident. Edited August 13, 2015 by timtebow15
jr1 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 He punched a cop when he was 19. He's always going to be like this
The Frankish Reich Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 He punched a cop when he was 19. He's always going to be like this Yep ... that was an isolated incident. After this one? Ndamukung Suh with zero tackles last year. A player only Rex could love.
reddogblitz Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 So I'm curious how much the league will punish him for doing what players do often. Fighting may be common in TC, but breaking a starting QB's jaw is NOT A common occurrence.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Wow, that's crazy if true. Listening to Ryan Clark on ESPN radio today talking about Enemkpali, he actually sounds like a decent guy. Very quiet and serious worker. He made a huge mistake here...but sounds like he was pushed by Geno's smugness. I was "wait...What? Why?" at first but when I thought about it, yeah, I expect Rex believes, from his knowledge of these guys, that he has a pretty good guess what went down and how. So if he's comfortable with it, then I'm comfortable with it. Not sure Enemkpali will stick here, but I imagine if he doesn't, it's Rex's way of saying "I know IK and I know Geno and you'll be OK with the kid"
Pete Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 When you continually stiff someone you owe $600 to, and then when confronted you point your finger in the mans face and say "you aren't going to do anything about it" - you deserve to get your jaw busted. This is 100% on Geno. I give IK respect on this
The Dean Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Perky pacesetters purchase pugnacious player puncher! Nice Irv quote! I think his chance of actually making the team is slim, but i suppsoe it could happen. The whole "building a bully" quote might come to haunt Rex. Bully's are essentially cowards. They pick on the weak and cower to those stronger. Building a team that "won't be bullied" or "stands up to bullies" makes FAR more sense to me. Not only because we have (smartly) become a very anti-bully society, but also because if/when something happens that catches the Commissioner's eye, this could be used as evidence that it was institutional. I think, well I hope, Rex did this as a sign to the Jets. As more, or less, a joke. Chances are, this guy won't even be available to the Bills this year. But if reports of a $600.000 signing bonus are true, it's a pretty expensive joke, if they have to pay it. When you continually stiff someone you owe $600 to, and then when confronted you point your finger in the mans face and say "you aren't going to do anything about it" - you deserve to get your jaw busted. This is 100% on Geno. I give IK respect on this I disagree. A violent action should only be in response to another violent action. Civil humans to not resort to violence due to some sort of slight. And I'm Sicilian! Edited August 13, 2015 by The Dean
bacarri and coke Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Football is a violent man's sport and football players are a different breed.Apperantly that's hard for some of you people to understand.You guys more than likely have never been in an environment where you need to not just act like an alfa you HAVE to BE one.How can some of you people judge this man and say this is a bad move by the Bills?You never met this man or have seen him play or even probobly heard of him,Rex has done the above extensively.Some of you guys are seriously sissafied and need to reach down in your pants to check if you got anything down there and if you do grab them and grunt.Todays society has men being soft and afraid but an NFL locker room is not like your break room at the office insurance company you work in.Men like this judge each other on things like strength,heart,tenacity,toughness,and honor.He probobly shouldn't have hit him but you also can't back down from someone who wrongs you in that environment it's a sign of weakness and you get no respect.Do you not understand that's the mindset you need to play this violent of a sport and survive?
Mr. WEO Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 How does he avoid a suspension? This might be felony battery if Smith pressed charges.
Kelly the Dog Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 How does he avoid a suspension? This might be felony battery if Smith pressed charges. I don't see how he avoids suspension either. But Geno would be a wussy if he presses charges, regardless of whether he was sucker punched or not. It seems that he was being a dick too and provoked it more than showed leadership and diffused it. I think he would lose even more respect if he pressed charges and I doubt he does.
