Dedrick Mills dismissed...

[crl85]

One of the strikes last year was being late for practice.....

 

[JacketGirl]

My stomach just sunk.

 

[CrackerJacket]

Say it ain't so!

 

[bke1984]

Lol. I knew this was coming at some point...I guess I just had a fool's hope. Selfish kid...

Saddest thing in life is wasted talent.

He knows they're serious about this in the NFL too, right?

Howard its time to kick some Vol A$$!!!

 

[Deltajacket]

He's not smoking that crap by himself. Let's see who else is in trouble for "violation of team rules". How stupid are these guys? Mills has set himself on a course to be digging graves again instead of having a shot with the League. Good on PJ for enforcing the rules evenly and setting a clear definition of what is expected.

 

[GTBandit22]

Yikes.
We have a bunch of good players back there, but none is as proven as Dedrick.
This sucks. Somebody else gotta step up.

 

[bke1984]

He knew the rules, so no defending him or saying we should make exceptions.

We definitely don't play on a level playing field with this rule though...

 

[dressedcheeseside]

Its never as good or as bad as it seems.

 

[MacJacket]

I'm going to watch Jerry Howard highlights for the rest of the afternoon.

 

[John]

Would appreciate it if we refrained from making personal and speculative accusations against any of our current and former players.

Thanks

Exactly

Benson had a faster 100m time than Justin Thomas. He is fast. Jerry Howard is good. We have bodies to fill that position. But no doubt this will be a huge blow.

I have to say a few things:
1) What an incredibly stupid waste of talent. And, does he lose his scholarship? Is he kicked off campus entirely?
2) What an incredibly short sighted move by Marcus Marshall
or
3) What an incredibly awful job to manage Mills/Marshall by the football staff. This is an absolute disaster.

 

[96Jacket]

It's time for our true leaders to emerge. We are going to need them. What's worse is we lost Marcus Marshall bc of him too.

I thought Marshall left because he just didn't like the system and the pounding he took more so than the competition for carries?

Quaide says hi

CPJ has repeatedly said he doesn't get low, he runs straight up. You can't do that in this offense, although it's something that can be worked on and changed.

 

[Ash]

I was afraid of this happening, I just didn't think it was going to be before the season started. Wow.

 

[ilovetheoption]

I mean, we sort of have to give credit for the scoop to the random UGA fan in the AJC comments section, right?

We never give them credit for anything.

 

[davidgray]

Didn't we win all four games that he missed last year.

 

[ilovetheoption]

In all seriousness, though....this sucks, and significantly hurts the chances to beat Tennessee.
