In addition to Dareus, the team will be without second-year running backKarlos Williams for the first four games of the season for a violation of the NFL's substance-abuse policy. The Bills will be subject to a steep fine from the NFL based on the NFL's remittance policy -- the result of having multiple players suspended in a single season.

Dareus, 26, was named to the Pro Bowl in 2013 and 2014. The third-overall pick of the 2011 draft, Dareus signed a six-year, $100 million extension with the Bills last September.

Bills ripped Dareus in announcing his suspension.  I think they are done giving him any more chances.  He could be on the block right now. 

 

So?

 

He could also be facing a year long suspension with one more incident.   

 

You really want to trade for that headache?

 

Not me.....

Why Does the league even let players continue to play after they keep failing PED drug tests again and again. It's pretty clear they don't respect the integrity of the game. They're literally cheating and trying to gain unfair advantages at their job. Is it not obvious that they'll continue to try and find new PEDs that don't show on the tests (these exist). This doesn't really bother me but I was just wondering why they don't take it more seriously.

Short answer: if there was real PED testing, there would be no NFL anymore. Steroids are so dominate in American sports to the point, it has a subculture on it's own.

Speaking of the Bills, I just watched Buffalo pulverize the NY Giants 21-0. 

 

Man, did Big Blue's offense look horrible. They didn't get a 1st down until about 7:34 left in the 3rd quarter. QB Ryan Nassib couldn't complete a pass to save his life. RB Bobby Rainey ripped off like a 60 yard run & then Tom Obarski totally misses a routine field goal kick. Oy Vey! Just pathetic...Any reason why Victor Cruz wasn't even on the field. Why not?! Did HC Ben McAdoo think his rusty WR needed more rest? Are you kidding me? Unbelievable. 

 

The only good thing they did decent tonight was this: Their punter on Special Teams, Brad Wing, pinned Buffalo deep in their own territory once. Even Eli Manning & Odell Beckum had no touchdowns to brag about. Just dreadful. Giants safety Cooper Taylor did pick off EJ Manuel once. 

 

Overall, the Giants just sucked on offense. Their run defense was stout, but it's going be a long season for MetLife Stadium fans like me this season. Ouch!

Most of the player suspensions are for Substance abuse, not violating the Steroid Policy.  Marcel Dareus has entered Rehab, this after stating his suspension was for 'missing' a drug test.  I don't know many people who enter rehab because of an hGH addiction...

My suspicion is the Steroid policy is pretty good at catching the occasional 'casual' cheater.  But those athletes really into the science are doping up and getting away with it, and if caught, are sometimes winning appeals.  The likely combo; low dose synthetic Testosterone + synthetic - Recombinant Human Growth Hormone ( rhGH ).  The NFL doesn't test on game day, so players can inject in the morning and play later that day.  The isomer test has a 10-20 hour detection window, so next day testing, the athlete is home free.

 

You can be tested immediately any time at team facilities, so don't do it there.  Off site, the NFL gives 24 hour notice for PED testing.  Again, outside the 10-20 detection window.  So the NFL and NFLPA agreed to hGH testing in the last CBA, but they really didn't test for it until John McCain sent a letter to them even demanding stricter testing.  So they did, but the Isomer Test just isn't a good test, any way you spin it.

 

How many people have got caught violating the Steroid policy by using rhGH?  None that I know.  In 2013, 2,798 Isomer test were administered to athletes around the world.  Result?  Not a single suspension was handed out.

 

Just like there are ways and means a player can smoke weed without getting caught in the NFL, they can dope up as well.  The player just has to be smart and know a few things like timing , etc.

Well yeah, but that's why I specified fails  tests for PEDs. Unless marijuana and other such drugs are considered performance enhancing drugs (they could be, I don't actually know the NFLs definition)?

The NFL separates the 'recreational use' drugs from the 'performance enhancing' variety.  How and when drug tests are administered for them is different as well.  The Banned Substances (PED's) list will get a player 4 games suspension on the first offense.

 

Here's the Substance abuse policy, followed by the steroid policy, followed by the banned substances list-

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.
