Was it roughly the same amount as Callaway and Drango?

I saw him back out there with the number two's .. Good move to get him the needed reps ..

As punishments go, this would be like your mom sending you to bed late with extra dinner, or maybe like washing your mouth out with Hershey bars.

I believe it was handled perfectly. Leaving him home does nothing to benefit the team.

Which sounds great, at first, but after 60 minutes of chewing Hershey bars with no break you're not going to be enjoying them all that much any longer, and you WILL be feeling it later that night and all the next day.

Not really. I've had kids that wouldn't go to bed, and kept running around the house. So I had them run up and down the stairs 50 times until they were exhausted and went to bed. I've heard stories of other parents do something like make their kids eat an entire cake when they tried to sneak a piece of it. Something that's fun, isn't as fun when you can't get a break from it.

I think the "punishment" was great. We're short on WRs. He's a rookie and needs the work anyway. Send him on a bunch of fly routes and don't give him a breather. Sounds like he learns, the gets experience, the conditioning, and it helps the team in the long run anyway.

We can only speculate as to what the other parts of the consequences are for Callaway. But the highlighted part of Jackson's statement should be acknowledged. Maybe we'll get some glimpse of other discipline on this week's HK episode, maybe we won't. Either way I have to believe that because he failed to report the incident that something more substantial will or has been brought to bear on him. Do we have a right to know that? No, not necessarily.

For years we have debated the importance of accountability vs "just let the best players play" ... character guys vs pure talent.

It seems Dorsey is all about talent ... "Just get players, even if it's a risk"

Hopefully Callaway can straighten out

"Punishment" is probably the wrong term for running him through the ringer. Reckless? I don't know about that... but weren't his actions equally reckless to the well being of the team?

It's not so much what Hue says to the media as what it accomplishes. He's forced to go out and work his butt off. He's put in a "put up or shut op" position as far as knowing the playbook and executing his routes. He's playing a full game on an NFL field - isn't this what he's been working for? He hasn't "played" in eons... is the dream still there? At the end of the day, he struggled but walked away with great success... a highlight reel catch plus a chance to "flash" and show what makes him great. Maybe it will light a fire.

I feel like there are a lot of young players that make it to the NFL, feel like they have a roster spot and then slide towards mediocre... Mediocre work ethic, mediocre attitude, mediocre approach towards what it takes to be great.

A very good move that may cement Callaway's approach towards being an NFL pro. Great move by Hue.

Yes, Corbett and Drango played nearly the same amount of snaps (53 each) as Callaway (54).

James Burgess played 58 snaps on defense.

Thanks, I thought I had heard that referenced somewhere.

I like Burgess a lot but he did not play well last week. Was out of position and chasing quite a few times.

I noticed this as well. Really rooting for him, as he played pretty well last year when Collins went down.

j/c:

So there's this.....

Same can be said about the other kid , Bello or something like that .. He got burned on the Giants TD run also..

Burgess must have slept with Hue's wife.

For a guy who doesn't want Hue fired, you sure spend an inordinate amount of time nit-picking every freaking move he makes.

And the rich thing is how you used to twist off if anyone even dared question one of Sashi's moves. Vindictiveness is not an admirable trait.

No doubt he is 1st round talent. I am a Gator fan, I know who he is and what he can do.

I also know he is very immature and a follower/ not a leader. He also isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I am glad we drafted him, but know the kid needs a lot of work off the field because if he can get things right there, he can be a pro bowl receiver on the field. He's legit good.

Has there been any news on what the NFL is doing--or not doing--in regards to Callaway?

not that I've heard. Dorsey said he was optimistic that nothing would happen though

That would be cool!

it must mean that he believes Callaway's story (and there's evidence)

I have been wondering the same. No, I have't heard a thing.

I have no more info than the next guy, but I have 20 years LE experience. They described a 'very small amount' of marijuana. Callaway said he let others use his car and that he just got it back. I watched the dashcam video, and it looked to me like the cop pulled a roach out of the seat. Combine all these things with what has been said and how everyone is reacting, and my conclusion is that it was an old roach in the car seat, that his story holds water, and that he didn't report to the Browns that he got a ticket is a bigger concern than there was an old roach in the car.

I don't think Dorsey would have any problem cutting Callaway in between a sip of coffee and blinking his eye, his pick/decision or not - so obviously I think he believes Callaway's story and that he likely would not face punishment.

This makes sense to me.

i agree

If I don't agree with something Hue does, I'll voice my opinion. Just like I sided with Hue when it came to resting players. Agreeing with Hue on that decision is very reason I am disagreeing with his decision of handling Callaway. He is inconsistent.

Your post is the definition of vindictiveness. Practice what you preach.

Man, WSU Willie is right....you bring up Sashi exponentially more than the people that liked him and/or what he was doing.

Terry Pluto clearly wants Hue fired because he also disagrees with how he handled Callaway

Man, Hue is so stupid.

He plays guys during games and he gives certain players rest days in practices.

Btw--------Hue has come out and said that he works w/the medical staff to determine when guys need scheduled breaks. He said the number of soft tear injuries has significantly decreased in the last two years. God forbid we talk about that, though.

Exactly. That's why I agree with his logic on resting guys and defended that decision. Forcing a guy to play a full game for the first time in almost two years (when he was waving to get out, by the way because was so tired) does not align with that thinking. That's why I disagreed with his decision on Callaway. You pointing to me disagreeing with that and how it equates to wanting him fired is the "stupid" thing here. Not Hue.

Yeah, I'm stupid.

Now, run along and dig for another anti-Hue article.

Hey, hey! (or is it "Hee, hee") At least you didn't type "Sashi".

Baby steps......

Doesn't it make sense that since he makes decisions on rest in consultation with the medical people, that he would also have made the decision to play Callaway the whole game also with the medical staff?

Do you really think he was consulting the medical staff while Callaway was waving to come out of the game?

You don't think that he discussed it with the medical staff in advance of the game?

Hue: "I am thinking about punishing Callaway for his arrest by playing him the entire game, with no plays off. What are the risks?"

Medical: "Well, he hasn't played a full game in quite a while, but his conditioning is good, he has excellent flexibility, and he has little risk of soft tissue injury. He'll be tired, but we don't see a major medical issue with doing so."

Hue: "Thanks. This young man is going to run his butt off in this game."

Watch it, YTown. You're going to get this slapped on you:

#FireHueToday.

You are taking some liberties here to assume this is what happened, but go for it.

No, that's only for those that claim I want Hue fired with everything I post. So, for now...just you.
