dreamshatterer Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I post this many here (including me) wanted us to draft him. Seahawks FB Owen Schmitt was arrested for suspicion of DUI Saturday in Black Diamond, Washington. His blood-alcohol content measured between 0.151 and 0.161. Schmitt looked like Seattle's fullback of the future when he was picked in the fifth round last year, but the arrest won't help him beat out Justin Griffith, a veteran of coordinator Greg Knapp's zone-blocking scheme. It's Schmitt's first law run-in as a pro, so the West Virginia product should avoid suspension. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playernews.aspx?sport=NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Here is his comment the day after... I sincerely apologize to the team, the NFL, the fans and my family and friends for my actions and my poor judgment. I fully understand the seriousness of this matter, and I am disappointed in myself. I am committed to earning back the trust of everyone affected." And this is what a fullback should look like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 He screwed up and he knows it. He's one of those guys that has had to work for every opportunity he has. I think he'll be smarter in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RammsteinSkins Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Can't wait to tell my WVU friend. I do like Schmitt though but this one of the few chances I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
