Jimmy Kennedy Suspension: Giants Knew When They Signed Him

PrintNew York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said today that the organization knew in August when they signed him that defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy would be facing disciplinary action from the NFL for a violation of the league's performance-enhancing drug policy.
"We knew about it. We talked about it when he first came here and we were very much aware of the (appeals) process that took place," Coughlin said.
Coughlin said the suspension is "between Jimmy Kennedy and the league."
"Everything he has done with me, has conducted himself as a pro," Coughlin said. "He has done things in the best interest of the club and I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt. If it occurred as a one-time thing, let's get it over and done with."
Kennedy, a nine-year veteran, will miss four games due to his suspension. The Giants had a choice between Kennedy and another veteran defensive tackle, Gabe Watson, during training camp.

Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Considering the "banned substance" list has Sudafed
…and other compounds commercially available in pre-workout drinks you can get in any GNC in the country I’m inclined to believe him.
It very well could be a case of having the sniffles and not reading the microscopic print on the bottle he got in Walgreens closely enough, or likewise, not reading the label on his jar of Jack3d.
It's that damn flaxseed oil again.

Kennedy...The last name..does that surprise anybody?
At least he didn’t drive off a bridge with a gal named Mary Jo..If he decided to make his arms muscular and let his dick shrink, that’s his business..What the hell good is this morphodite going to do for us this year? Viagra commercials?…That dick vacuum thing? I don’t get it we need immediate help on the defense, and they sign a potential infomercial candidate..geezus
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Ha...
I think they signed him so they will have someone to tie down the blimp to so it doesn’t float away.

Off subject
Ed,
Do you think the Giants should start playing Sash more in the 3rd safety roll, and play less of Grant?
It seems like for every noteworthy play that Grant makes, he gets exploited 2-3 times. At least if it happened to Sash he would have a good excuse (inexperience). But it would give him some great experience and what he doesn’t have in experience he could make up for in energy and speed.

Mr. Webster
Also, has anyone else noticed that Corey Webster doesn’t like to tackle?
Numerous times this year I’ve seen him within arms reach of the ball carrier and yet he waits for the safety to come over and make the tackle, sometimes allowing the ballcarrier to get an extra 5 yards.
I’ve been paying attention the past couple games and it looks like Ross actually initiates contact at lot more frequently than Webster (which is pretty sad considering it’s Aaron Ross). Has anyone else noticed this?
by Masakari on Oct 12, 2011 7:26 PM EDT via iPhone app reply actions
Aaron Ross, when healthy is one of the better tackling CBs in the NFL
its why he was a first round pick and why his play at CB led us to a SB. Also, Corey Webster most definitely like to tackle.
As compared to guys like Ross, Rolle, KP, of course TT and eventually Amukamara, Web is the least likely to stand up a ballcarrier…but that says exactly nothing since we have a ton of great tackling DBs.
But Webster does like to tackle…I dunno where you got that.

dude takes one bad angle on Wells
and suddenly he’s taking bad angles all over the place?!?!
and so what that B. Wells ran over him at the goalline, doesn’t mean he’s a bad tackler…the fact is, he didn’t look afraid to tackle, he stuck his nose in there and got trucked by a dude a lot bigger than him….it happens, it’s football.
he could have gone “Mike Jenkins” on that play and he didn’t.
TeamJPP
remember when DRC pulled up on that tackle just outside the endzone a few seasons ago?
CWeb doesn’t shy away from contact…nope, not like that.

im not knocking CWeb
Love him but I can see where Masarki might be coming from. there were a few times, when CWeb was running with the wr & not really fighting thru the block to make a tackle. seemed like he was content on being taken outta the play. I only really noticed it on the replays. Not often, maybe 5-6 times for the entire season but some of them ended up being big gains.
Nobody wins the Superblow in October.
Talk is Cheap! Play the Game!
Well
Corey is still the best we have but he is not as Physical as Ross, TT and now maybe Prince…..its werid cause hes bigger than all of them but i do agree he isnt a tackler like you would assume.

watch the first gif on this to see bad tackling. It is Antonio Cromartie’s “attempt” to tackle a jets RB a while back.
wow....that's hilarious
and someone should pull up some GIF’s of the Pro Bowler Mike Jenkins and his “tackling” ability
TeamJPP
We do have some DB’s who love to lay the stick on someone. I personally love Sash would love to see him get more play time. He still learning for sure..
For real...
You can tell the kid is dying to put a real hit on someone

the same can be said of Greg Jones. has anyone ever seen any pics of him on the sideline lately? the kids looks like he would love to kill someone because he’s been pulled off the field. I know his playing time has diminished dramatically but imagine if this season is saved, meaning playoffs, due to the play of our rookies?
its all or nothing

He does look pissed...for real
I think Williams really surprised people with his play so far and that’s why Jones hasn’t been in there as much. He got lost in coverage but that’s what rookies do. In a few more weeks they’ll all have progressed and we should have some solid LBs in the future.
