And Now Suspensions

Filed under: Football,Players,Scandal,Suspension — Chas @ 10:40 am

Fire up the outrage. Suspensions are announced and unresolved.

Ronald Jones:Suspended for entire season for “violation of team rules.”

K.K. Mosley-Smith:Suspended for entire season following the happenings at his shared apartment.

Tra’von Chapman:Still indefinitely suspended as no decision has been made.

I expect Chapman will also be suspended for the full season. Perhaps without being allowed to practice with the team.

Chryst Year 2: Camp Prelude

Camp opens tomorrow for Pitt football. Today is generally a minor media day.

So, why not start with the position everyone will be watching intently: quarterback.

There are plenty of questions at various positions. God, are there questions. There can be a case made for the importance of various other spots, but in modern football it is foolish (or Wannstedtian) to pretend that the QB spot isn’t the most important position.

It’s the center of the offense. He helps to dictate the pace of offense, which in turn influences how long the defense is on the sideline resting. It’s not that you can win without good skill players, strong lines and all the other parts. But any one of those can be papered over a little more than if you don’t have a good QB.

Yeah, yeah. Football is just about upon us. I’m sure many of you slogged through at least a quarter of exhibition NFL football last night. Simply because: FOOTBALL!

Still there is the unresolved Sheldon Jeter saga. When last we left our hero, his appeal for release from Vanderbilt to go to Pitt was denied by Vanderbilt. Since then, nothing.

There have been no words on his plans. Will he enroll at another Pittsburgh school? Robert Morris? Duquesne? Will he go somewhere in Ohio West Virginia, where he can get home in under 3 hours? Kent St.? Marshall?
