RELEASED Lucky Whitehead Cut **merged**

[links18]

Then how was his name on the citation and the warrant? I know cops are whatever in this country but I know Prince William County, and they're pretty decent in northern VA.

Cop doesn't want to arrest person; writes them a citation or summons instead; person has no ID; cops takes suspect's word for it, he's Lucky Whitehead. I am not saying that is what happened here, but I have seen it before.

I don't think Lucky was going to make the team anyway and that's why he was cut.

Timing doesn't fit....

And Damien Wilson is what?

A much better player with an expected bigger role.

I think he was a borderline player and Garrett and the rest needed someone to make an example of. He was just unlucky.

Well hopefully people have now gotten their punitive jollies and we can move on.

And? Again people look like other people. My wifes sister used my wifes ID to get into bars when she was underage. For small offenses cops sometimes do not do everything by the book.

On one hand, I'm interested to see if it really is an odd misunderstanding or mess up by police. On the other, while this isn't a great reason to be cut, I simply never expected him to be here at the start of the season. His main role was to come in and be a Harris replacement, he never came close.

 

[DeaconBlues]

Likely more about him not telling the team at the time.

it is a relatively minor thing but he needed to get ahead of it.

Especially since this is at least the third time he failed to notify the team about an issue.

Sad; I really pulled for him during his career. But his days were numbered with the drafting of Switzer.

Good luck in your future endeavors.

 

[Lodeus]

Who? Is this the guy we try and fail with reverses most of the time?

Strange ending.

Seems the FO didn't think he was worth the trouble regardless.

But, it'll be odd if the "final straw" was something he didn't actually do or even have anything to do with.

Either way I don't think he had much of a future here anyway.

Nothing strange about it. It ended as it should have.

The only strange thing is the denial by Whitehead and the claim from the team they knew nothing.

Yet, he was on the practice field.

But of course, there is the notion floated by Archer that they had already decided to move on.

Just stop it.

We all knew it was inevitable when Switzer started showing out in mini-camp.

 

[DeaconBlues]

Good.

The Lucky Whitehead threads can disappear.

C'mon, that's not happening. There are still mentions of Coakley and Nguyen every draft period.

Every time special teams has the slightest hiccup, Lucky's name will appear; like Swamp Thing rising above the mists.

I hope Linehan and Garrett doesn't try to use the jet sweep with Switzer. Say what you want about Lucky but he made defenses respect his speed on the jet sweep. Switzer may be quick but I doubt he can hit the corner as fast as lucky could. I still remember the sweep he ran against Green Bay that got the Cowboys out of their own end zone and they were able to get a td on that drive.

Evidently you can beat your girl, smoke some rope, beat a guy, pull a pair of scissors on a teammate, hang out with self employed models in a hotel room with cocaine, decide to have your own practices Lord knows where, and this team is probably okay with that.

But for Gosh sake, if you shoplift, your ish is in the wind, son.

 

[Miller]

This is one of these "see we can discipline" moves despite the fact that the guy was trouble, was in the border of not making the team and was a waste on a roster as "trick play guy." Team felt the arrest pressures and took the easy target. (Sitting in a deer blind with a Bazooka while deer come to a feeder 2 feet away..."take out Lucky")

Good he had to go

Look, I don't think anyone with a functional brain sees this as a true reaction meant to do something, like put an undisciplined mess of a team on notice.

But the team at least tried to put on a public front that will at least really impress those who are mesmerized by shiny objects.

Luckys agent says they have the wrong guy and lucky was in Dallas at the time of the offense

And if that's true then it's awful. I'm still glad he's cut though.
