Give him a shot. ARodge called out the NFL for not allowing Jolly to be with the team after his first arrest which is exactly what he needed….support from his teammates.

He seems well liked, he’s paid his dues, and maybe he’s in reasonable shape. Without a doubt you have to give this guy a look before shipping him to the scrapheap.

Uh, i dunno, how about take up 1 or 2 blockers so the LBs can do their job? HaDERP.

Maybe they should leave their gap so the QB can run past them?

Are you getting the same player? Doubtful. Cut bait and move on…it’s been too long. If you want to bring him in as a camp body then by all means, like Hargrove last year, see what you got. This is not a solution to our problems but if he’s in good football shape, maybe he could regain something and be on the practice squad or activated for a few games here or there. I still say look for them to make a small spash in FA.

So if they play in a 3-4….They shouldn’t rush the QB on passing plays? What should they do? Just kind of hang out?

Didnt they already give him a 2nd chance? The Packers kept him around and supported him after his arrest. All the while, the Courts gave him another chance by slapping him on the wrist. It would have all gone away if he didnt get in trouble again. So then what did he do?…Hung out with J’Marcus Russell, and got pulled over and arrested again for having more slurp, while driving w/out a license. Getting charged with another felony, Then he got sent to prison. Sometimes…You can’t fix stupid.

He may be 30, but he doesn’t have a lot of mileage on his body because he’s been out of football for a while.

TT is more than willing to give people a second chance – provided he likes them. He did so with Koren Robinson.

This is a low risk move and one I endorse. If the guy comes back and can contribute, why wouldn’t you want him?

There’s no harm in bringing him into OTA’s and seeing if he’s still got anything. In reality, they don’t have to make any sort of big commitment to him until August/September.

Agree, and second the idea of bringing him in to at least take a look. There’s no downside.

And seriously, folks, do you really think JJ is going to go bug shit some night and be able to roll out and find any purple drank on the mean streets of Green Bay? Did folks there even know what it was before JJ got popped for it in Texas? Hell, no.

And for all you hard-liners that have never screwed up in life and think that giving someone another chance is somehow weak, remember to hold tight to that point of view if you ever find yourself holding the short side of life’s wishbone.
