Sheldon Richardson, Antonio Gates, and Datone Jones all suspended

[WalterWhite]

Sheldon Richardson - 4 games (we play the Jets week 1 so this is a good thing)

Antonio Gates - 4 games (substance abuse)

Datone Jones - 1 game

how about mcclain for the cowboys for 4 games.

That takes Gates away from Rivers in game 4 and our LB's won't have to try to cover him. Gates "This Buds for You" and damn 4-0 is smelling SWEET and The Rock is Cooking..

Don't get too excited about the Chargers game just yet.. Lardarius was taking a good amount of that work from Antonio without the suspension. Antonio is a legit candidate to get Wally Pipped.

Green is definitely a guy just waiting to break out. Hard to say he cut into Gates' performance too much though with only 17 receptions, 376 yards, and 3 touchdowns.

The biggest deal is going to SD. West Coast trips are hard on Eastern Time Zone teams. But I think Gates suspension is a big deal. As an older player he starts seasons being more effective than he ends (or even middles) them.

Green in 2014-- Out weeks 4&5 with Hamie. Out Weeks15&16 Ankle & Concussion. Limited time played behind Gates and 19 Receptions, seems pretty Fragile but more serious conditioning may help at his size. Either way our O must produce 20? points a bigger concern.
