mnp726 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I was listening to a local sports talk radio station in Norfolk Va a an apparent Redskin hater said that LLoyd has avoided drug tests and Adam Archaleta is damaged goods has a bad back can someone confirm either of these rumors. Say its not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Curious... how exactly do you "avoid" drug tests? I say that one is completely bogus. Archuleta was injured last year, but I doubt the coaching staff would have brought him in if they thought he was damaged goods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdarugar Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Arch has had back problems...the whole Lloyd drug thing I have never heard, the dude is married with a kid on the way, I hope he's not blazin' or tootin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Avoiding a drug test is the same as failing a drug test.... that one is bogus, the Skins do background checks. AA missed two games last season, hardly a serious amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsDukes Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 As others have said Arch does have somewhat of a history of back problems, but I don't think its anything too serious. The line about avoiding the tests by Lloyd is simply wrong, I'd like to see where they got that from.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPstretch Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 most football players have been hurt at one point or another. its a brutal sport and no one is ever healthy forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPinstripe Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 After watching that guy and hearing about him from various sources, I would be very, very hard pressed to believe that Lloyd is on drugs, or has tried to avoid drug tests. I have heard something about AA's back, but nothing too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooka Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Arch was playing injured in 2004 with a herniated disc, but was able to rehab in the offseason without surgery. Played 14 games last season. (missed 2 from a concussion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmiles3006 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 It should never surprise any of us how low a redskin hater will stoop to disparage our team. Trust Gibbs and company, their methods are time proven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekdude Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Gibbs wants charachter players!! Lloyd and no drugie and AA will be fine :point2sky :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praise_gibbs Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 After watching that guy and hearing about him from various sources, I would be very, very hard pressed to believe that Lloyd is on drugs, or has tried to avoid drug tests. I have heard something about AA's back, but nothing too big. Bradon Lloyd could very well be on drugs, we do not know for sure. Although, I know those drugs are not illegal because truthfully, you just can not run from a drug test. Unless you are Ricky Williams and just flat out retire early. Brandon Lloyd suffered through some bad years in San Fran. His stats were there but, the wins, simply were not! I, for one, believe if Brandon is on any kind of drug it has to be anti-depressants! :laugh: Adam Archuleta has a bad back? I am not sure how that would matter to anything unless it kept him out more than 2 games last year. Doesn't Santana Moss have a bad hammy? That killed us right? :Knock on Wood: :paranoid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinklein Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Never heard about Lloyd avoiding drug tests. If its true...hell...let him keep avoiding them until it's out of his system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadKarma Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 only knocks I have heard on Archuleta are his recent injuriey (back) and his history of concussions. It has been stated that AA has experienced 5 concussions in his short career. Somewhat typical for a big hitting safety but a few more concussions could put him in danger of a doctor telling him to walk away while he still has his health. Lets just keep our fingers crossed, he is still huge upgrade over Clark for his blitzing ability alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefPowhatan17 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Arch was injured some last year, but people can't aviod drug tests in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyal2Washington Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 A player can not avoid a drug test, as bubba said a missed test is considered a failed test by the NFL. Every player that has played more then 2 years has a history of injuries, that is unless he's a bench warmer. As long as the player doesn't have chronic injury problems teams consider the player healthy. :dallasuck :gaintsuck :eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
