Bruce Irvin suspended

[Trenchbroom]

Looks like we had a bit of a problem with misusing prescription drugs on this team...hopefully this is the end of it, because it sounds like we were just flat out trying to cheat at this point. Thats too many guys nailed for the same thing to call it a coincidence.

Yes. Obviously I don't follow other teams as much as I do the Seahawks but I have doubts that you could find a team with more suspensions for PEDs over the past year. And because of that I'm worried.

Where there's smoke...

I wouldn't say overreacting, just facing facts. If you didn't like rival fans coming on here disparaging Sherman for avoiding the PED suspension be prepared for a flood of it regarding the team in general. Sure, other teams have had starters getting busted for this but the Seahawks have had 5 players suspended for this in the past 3 years and another avoid it due to a testing anomaly. Brush it under the rug and say fans are just being emotional.

I remember the angst when Koren was suspended for violating his substance abuse (alcohol) testing. And the angst folks had when many thought both starting DBs were going to miss the final 4 games. You are fooling yourself if you think this is a blip on the radar. Something is not right at the VMAC.

Just do me a favor and don't be one of those bitching at the end of the year if things like this derail visions of Superbowl titles dancing in folks heads.

If this team won the super bowl and 10 years from now you found out everyone was on PED's nobody would have a problem with it. Off your soap boxes.

I'd sleep like a baby at night with a smile on my face. Don't care.

Just don't get caught!

I'll wait until I hear more details before passing judgment.

How many more details do you need if he's already said he won't appeal. Just curious. Seems like he just got busted doing something stupid and isn't going to try to deny it.

Why do you care what other fan bases think?

Love the team, love the reputation, love the drug use, love the image. I like them pushing the limits and personally have no issues with PED's. Just Win Baby.

Right, we should just shoot NFL players that aren't the Seahawks so that we can win a superbowl. :roll:

We don't need to cheat to win. If we need to start cheating to win, might as well just sell the franchise.

The problem is I live in reality.

When he says “I want to apologize to my teammates, coaches and Seahawks fans for making a mistake when I took a substance that is prohibited in the NFL without a medical exemption,” Irvin said in a statement released by the team. “I am extremely disappointed in the poor judgment I showed and take full responsibility for my actions. I will not appeal the discipline and instead will focus my energy on preparing for the season so I can begin earning your trust and respect again. I look forward to contributing to the team the moment I return.”


U know that it's over.

Sizz, try to be ok with not everyone thinking like you do.

Adderoll is used to mask steroid use. Not that it matters, 1st time offense is a 4 game either way. Stupid stupid stupid......

NEXT!

 

[volsunghawk]

Very few thought we would miss a beat when Clemons went down, either.

Funny, I don't recall that at all. I remember a lot of people very worried about both the pass rush and the run D. But maybe that's just me. :|

My understanding on #Seahawks: They knew this Irvin suspension was possible prior to free agency. Explains loading up on DEs in March

 

[Anonymous]

Again, aren't we working with unconfirmed reports here? Do we really know what he was caught taking?

"They" are saying Adderall, but unless we have a toxicology report, it's all just speculation.

Let's wait for the facts, but I agree that there has got to be somebody that can have an intervention with these guys and either tell them how to pass the whiz quiz, or slap them up side the head, one of the two...

 

[SHOCKER315]

The debate if Adderall is actually "performance enhancing" or not... is irrelevant.

Right or wrong... ITS BANNED BY THE LEAGUE without a prescription.

Either stop taking it, get a prescription, or mask it better... Getting caught for using it without a medical exemption (after several other players on the team have already been caught and suspended) is indeed stupid.

It hurts the team's chances for success.

 

[JSeahawks]

Legalize it.

Because our guys then start bellyaching for folks to get banned when they say your baby is ugly. Just like you don't care and seem to want to be the Raiders North.

 

[bryantology79]

ok so for the LEO spot we have avril, bennett, mayowa, powell, boatright(?), lotuleilei(?) ...i can live with that if dan quinn blitzes more

i'm more concerned about our interior pressure. in some of the early games last year irvin and clem were feasting on qbs trying to avoid bane, branch and jones

 

[bigtrain21]

Irvin can still take part in OTA's and Training Camp right. 99% sure he can, but just want to make sure.

He can still take part in offseason workouts, but won’t be eligible to play until after their Sept. 29 game against the Texans.
