Armonty Bryant
-
It'se been reported that he pleaded guilty/no contest. He recieve a deferered sentence, fined $1,100 plus court fees, and must listen to a group speak about the dangers of drunk driving. This will also not affect his probation and he will not see jail time. Now it remains to be seen if the Browns even let his guy report to rookie mini camp and sign his contract.

... and here's the other 7th rounder...
Both guys look pretty decent, let's see if they can continue it at the NFL level...

.09? My morning shit has a higher BAC. Id be dissapointed if a 7th rounder didn't have character concerns, otherwise he would just be a poor physical prospect.
I'm buying this dude's jersey.

Exactly. Thanks for digging those up, PG. You had darn well better be dominate at that level to have a chance stepping up to the NFL. At least it looks like the scouts did their job.

Didn't watch the O-Line vid, its too late for that.
But I really like Bryant's vision, instincts, and reactions. Hope he has the work ethic and wakes up from this experience

Lombardi's plan is coming together nicely
Hire coach arrested for driving through fast food drive thru drunk and naked, check
Sign D-Lineman arrested for public intox and ripping some poor bastards door off its hinges, check
Sign cornerback who flipped out and destroyed girlfriends apartment and poored bleach all over her clothes, check
Sign Linebacker who likes his women to only charge 20 bucks for anal, check
draft d-lineman arrested for selling weed at practice, check
Sell team to billionaire that likes to rip his customers off, check
Hmm missing anyone?

I can't believe out of like 24 comments so far, there hasn't been one measure of thanks to Haslam for showing the Browns how to conduct business the Steeler's way. Training camps in two months and you guys have really been slipping up here in the off-season.
-
Hey the "Steelers way" came from Paul Brown passed down to Chuck Knoll... Hell even the logo came from Cleveland....hopefully Haslam picked up a few of these before he left Pittsburgh.

.08 is the legal limit. I expect that I myself may have exceeded .09 on Cinco de Mayo.
Nevertheless....the guy knew he was skating on thin ice. And though, sure, perhaps this was a celebration of being drafted.....but, his judgment does come into question as to why he couldn't have someone else driving him.
His intellect is now at issue.

Know what Gip? This sort of stuff happens every Friday night in every town in the country. If you read the report, you can about bet his pal was falling down drunk (he got arrested for public intox), and asked Bryant to give him a lift home. Armonty probably knew he had had a couple too many, but decided to chance it- who wouldn't in out in podunkville? I doubt there's many cab or limo services in Ada Oklahoma, and darn few cops around.
And give the guy bonus points for knowing that little trick how to beat the Breathalyzer. Deliberately flunk it a couple of times- you're pushing residual booze out of your lungs every time you fail.

Cutting him now will do us more harm than anything. Let's see what he has in the preseason, and if he is a borderline player with pretty good potential I think you keep him. If he is a borderline player and shows little potential you cut him. Who knows, maybe come in here and has a tremendous preseason and becomes a starting DE for us in a couple of years.
Cutting him will just look bad on us. 1) Says we would have wasted a 7th round pick 2) We didnt even give him a chance 3) If he gets picked up by someone, especially anyone in the division, and has a solid career, we just look stupid.
If he fails and doesnt amount to anything, well... at least we used a late pick on a guy who looked like he had some potential - all things considered.
-
He is not even signed yet, so we cant cut him. He was over the limit and he did go to jail, lets hope he learns from this mistake. At least he didnt pull a Reese Weatherspoon on top of that.

While his BAC seems negligible, I agree with Gipper. Given past issues, this kid should have been "Saint Armanty" for a good while. Instead, he solidly put himself under a microscope. Unfortunately, now he must be a model citizen or he could be just another talented kid with no NFL future.

Nah, he wasn't going to be saint anything, that's why he was available when they drafted him. Going by pure production and physical tools, this Bryant deserves to be in the third round.
I bet he's the last DL on the roster.. my guess is he was more guilty of driving while black than dwi.

Reported today, will take part in camp this weekend.

driving while black
Love it. To be fair, this was in Ada, Oklahoma - total population 16,810, thank you wikipedia - and while my knowledge of midwest states' demography is not up to scratch, would it be fair to say they don't see many "of his kind" down that way?!

That is not necessarily true. Remember, the south/southwest was slave state before the Civil War. Many of the rural/small towns of the south/southwest can be predominately black.
And Oklahoma for years before it became a state was known as "Indian Territory". That is where they sent all the dispossessed native Americans who previously lived in the likes of Virginia/Carolinas/Georgia/Alabama etc. along the Trail of Tears. So, in addition to good size rural African-American population, Oklahoma also has a vast Native-American population.

Edit note: Oklahoma is 4th in the percentage of it population that are native-American. Only Alaska, New Mexico, and South Dakota have larger NA %

Ada, Oklahoma, about 200 miles from Tulsa, Oklahoma which was home to several black multi millionaires in the early 20th century, until we whities burned it down of course.
