Actually he has 7 career sacks. He had 6 in 2018. The guy it sounds like you’re talking about is Dorrance Armstrong. In 2 seasons he has less than half the numbers that Gregory has and is getting paid the same. That may be a guy that you want to look at replacing.

The Cowboys didn't cut Irving. He failed yet another drug test and decided to quit. That's what these guys do. They're unreliable. Irving was still on the roster even after multiple failed drug. To compensate for losing Irvin, the Cowboys had to reach for Trysten Hill. These dumb players have consequence for a team. Ask yourself this.....would Irving or Gregory still be with NE or a BB coached team? It sends the wrong message to the other players and makes the coaches job harder.

This isn't about the RKG. You can't win with a dumb player who can't stay on the field.

The mental health meme has been thrown around with Gregory as an excuse for his conduct. There are meds out there for guys who have bi-polar disorders or real mental health issues. Randy Gregory is a drug addict. Plain and simple.
But that's OK too. Legalize drugs and thin the herd. Survival of the fittest. Randy Gregory's addiction has opened the door and provided opportunities for other players, even if they suck (see Hill, Trysten).

I was just listening to a podcast and they stated that the new CBA as currently proposed will increase the current limit of 35 Nano-grams of THC allowed to 150 nano-grams allowed. For comparisons sake they mentioned that most states consider 50 nano-grams as too intoxicated to drive. So the NFL will allow their athletes to walk around with a daily THC limit that is three times what most states consider too impaired to drive.
For those of you they think Gregory and Irving wouldn’t abuse that rule are just fooling yourselves. Plain and simple
The podcast also mentioned that it will be a fixed testing date of 2 weeks prior to the start of the season and that instead of testing the prior four months, the test will only cover the prior 2 weeks.
The way the new rules are set up they are looking at it from a strictly recreational standpoint. There are no stipulations from a medicinal or mental health use standpoint.

. This is like Randy Marsh calling his alcoholism a "disease."

from what ive read
those 2 weeks should be all a player needs to pass the test. even if they are a regular smoker
its possible to pass a test (be under the nanogram threshold) after smoking the day before, but theres not much of a consistency w/ the results

My buddy was an EMT and smoked regularly. He passed every single test with much stricter standards than what the NFL has. It’s not hard to do
Gregory was just too stupid to even do what it took to pass his drug tests

Not everyone wants to take opiates and other pharmaceuticals. That stuff is WAY harder on your body (specifically your liver and kidneys) than weed is.

You don’t call 6 sacks from a backup DE productive?

I have gone back and forth on players that smoke pot. Out of all the things that the NFL SHOULD be testing for that can be life-threatening. Pot ain't one of them. In fact, I would put it on the list that alcohol is. It is stupid and at this stage the benefits for anyone having to hit and be hit like a Mack Truck for the season after season far outweigh any negative I can think of. That said, it is a no-no and Randy is a dumb ass, and I've said that multiple times. If you want to do X and X involves not doing Y, A, D, l and Z. Then fucking stop doing that so you can do X.
It really is that simple and easy to not do something. Remove it from your life like the cancer that it is. Human, drug, animal, mineral or vegetable.

Yes, 6 sacks is a productive season for a backup DE. You would be the only one that doesn’t seem to think that.

So the only and absolutely final solution to Gregory's problems is weed......there is no other legal drug, non-opioid included, that will work....just weed and only weed.....something that's again the rules in his profession and against Federal law. How fitting. But that's not how things work in life.

Good ole taco had 5 last year. The definition of "productive" is apparently in question.
1.) Are you a backup because you're not productive, or are you "productive" only as a backup?
2.) Are you a doper because you're stupid, or are you stupid due to being a doper?
Chicken and the egg.
