Does anyone know whether JPW will get a chance to play in the homecoming game if the score gets out of hand? I know he will dress out like he did in the TN game, but how long is his suspension? Just curious.
 
I hope so

Hey this is a great chance to get him ready for next year. He did well in the Fla. game.
 
IMO, yes he will. he served his supention and is ready. he may have some hiddenpenaties he has to get though, but he needs the reps that game will allow him to get. lets not forget, this is our future. Wish him well.

It is imperative he get the reps. If as we expect, there is a good lead following halftime, I'd like to see JPW for the whole second half. This experience will be like money in the bank in case Brodie has to go out for a few plays against LSU or the Barn. There is no substitute for game time experience. RTR

Not according to Jess in the game preview

That's true but Jess was questioned about it after that and he said it was written last Saturday and he had been out of touch and didn't have any knowledge as to whether or not JPW was actually still suspended. What I can tell you is that JPW IS NOT on the scout team this week.

I was sort of surprised when I read that in the game preview. I had read somewhere else, but I don't remember where, that it was a 1 game suspension.
 
I kind of hope he doesnt play. Yes i know hes young and people make mistakes and all of that. But, he is the second string quaterback at ALABAMA. I think sitting out the Tenn. game wasnt a big deal. He wouldnt have seen the field anyway. Sitting out this game, one which he might play, might let him know that maybe he needs to take being a qb for the tide should be taken more seriously.
 
I know JPW wouldn't play against Tennessee unless Brody got hurt, but I know it had to kill him inside to know that if Brody had gotten hurt or knocked silly, that he would have let his teammates down by not being ready to go in there. Plus he did not get to be part of a huge win. Also if he is a competitor he believes in himself and feels that had Brody gone down he could have finished the job and gotten the win. Luckily none of that became a factor.

QB is not like other positions, He has got to be a team leader. I'm still dissappointed he didn't truely understand that, but I also think for a first time offense you punish, and move on. My guess is he won't be stupid again. Everybody makes boneheaded mistakes when they are that age.

I agree to some extent that young people tend to make mistakes but not all young people are quarterbacks for the University of Alabama. And not all quarterbacks at Alabama get duis. Im not trying to argue im just saying i hope he learned a lesson.
 
CMS told reporters "JPW's status has never changed, as far as you are concerned".

He does not make disciplinary matters public. Period.

On the other hand, JPW was not lsited on the game roster last week, and he IS listed this week.

I think he will play; and I think he SHOULD play.
 
CMS has earned my respect enough that if he feels that JPW should play then he's paid his dues and let's move on. However, if CMS feels that not allowing JPW to play in the Utah St game then I'm all for that.

CMS is around the players at all times, even during punishments. So he can get a feel whether or not the punishment has served it's purpose. If JPW is playing Saturday then that tells me that CMS has seen that the punishment has done it's job and JPW has learned his lesson.

Great post Buzz. I feel the same way 100%. This is just 1 of a very few off the field problems that the team has had since Shula has been there. It doesn't appear that the inmates are running things like at other SEC schools.
 
Second mistake.............shame on me!

I too totally respect Coach Shula's handling of discipline to the players, he's been there and knows the score.

I sure hope and pray that this young man has gotten his "wild streak" outta his system, for if he should do it again, or anything else even hinting of embarassing the TEAM, he's outta here! *I truly would love to have been a fly on the wall in the meeting with "coach"!*

Tough-love is the only way the TEAM can function, while still maintaing true discipline within the ranks.
