Popular Post Starkiller Posted August 7, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Just now, tgo said: One thing that bugged me about Beasley is that Bowen was saying in his interview that they had him doing one on one coaching sessions instead of being in meetings with the others to try and catch up. Apparently he's a slow learner in addition to having poor work ethic and being unprofessional and weak against the run. Just tell him this: “You see the QB over there? When they snap the ball, go get him.” prometheus, IsntLifeFunny, Number9, and 5 others 4 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be hallucinating, but I think I could swear you might have a slight dislike for the guy. tgo, IsntLifeFunny, Mythos27, and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People freaked out over essentially nothing. Can we get back to freaking out over Clowney now? People freaked out on this message board? No way!

Not necessarily "avoid", but give himself extra time to pass a test. Don't really know how the off season testing policy/reporting testing goes though.

If the NFL calls you to report to a random drug test, you can’t delay it. You show up when they say or you fail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You show up when they say or you fail. Just speculating, but during the offseason the drug tests are random, while I assume that players arriving for TC all get tested. See below. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/08/04/nfl-nflpa-revise-training-camp-drug-testing-due-to-covid-19/ The NFL Players Association has informed all players that the window for annual substance-abuse testing has moved to the period of August 7 through August 17, due to the inability of the league to complete the collection process. As a practical matter, this gives players even more time to allow any evidence of recent marijuana use to exit the system. However, it also delays the point at which players can begin using again, if they are so inclined. Edited August 7, 2020 by japan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OilerTitanHybrid Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Lewan should get Beasley on BWTB and break him in. See what the lowdown was on the delay. CreepingDeath 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1TitansFan Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Or maybe after having a recent death in the family, he wasn't sure whether to opt out or not and wanted to stay with family members as long as possible even if it cost him some money.

That would be completely fine except for the lack of communication. I think it's just really difficult for most adults to imagine a situation where they don't contact their employer to let them know that they won't be there and at least offer a vague reason as to why. Such unusual behavior certainly opens the door to negative speculation. In reality Beasley doesn't owe anything but his behavior was strange. Had he communicated with at least J-Rob we would've gotten a statement along the lines of " Vic is dealing with a personal/family issue and we hope to see him as soon as he's ready". That would've been it. IsntLifeFunny, pamo9, Titan8425, and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's viable and I get it if that's the case (don't agree with how he went about it if this is the case). The not communicating with the team (your employer) does call somethings into question (character, maturity, etc). Don't really care at this point. He's there and a mbr of this yr's team...just hope he contributes to the D taking a step foward. rns90, Mythos27, and No1TitansFan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
