That's why this is irresponsible.

He beat the hell out of someone with a metal pole... I think it will be more than two games.

Allegedly...

PFT.com isn't even picking up on this one, and they report every rumor - real or not.

I'm not getting my panties in a bunch just yet.

However, like C Mac, I expect a 3-4 game suspension.
If it is only 2 I will be pleasantly surprised.
If it is less than 2, I will be disappointed in Goodell.

Especially considering his history with the Love Boat.

I think you have man love for Hicks

;D
I am hoping Chase or Rad can step up.
At least they have potential.

Hicks just isn't gonna get any better.

ROTFLMAO! I just fell off my chair.
;D

Pretty much nailed it on the head.

If true this is a big loss for the continuity of the O Line. Tarvaris needs to be as comfortable in the pocket as possible to have success.

Maybe, but I would rather not have players learning on the fly with our difficult early season schedule.

You should know that I don't want to see any of the players learning on the fly but alas, we have been subjugated to that process for 2 years.

Why do you think they wouldn't do it this year? ;D

because LT is one of the more important positions on the field.
I am about 99% sure Hicks would be playing over Chase or Rad.
100% sure he'd play over chase, he just played terrible.

Expect more runs to the left and more play action roll-out to the right type throws.

Welcome to PP.O Vikingswillrule.
Don't forget to go introduce yourself in the free beer forum.

You are right, of course.
Losing McKinnie will be a huge loss to our OL.
I am hoping that the suspension, if and when it does come, won't take effect until after his court date on September 25th.
That way we will have GB, Indy, and Carolina out of the way, possibly Tennessee too.
That would put us in a stretch of NO, Detroit, Chicago, and Houston, which I think would be a lot better situation if McKinnie is out.
