Raiders rookie CB Nate Hobbs arrested in Las Vegas on DUI charge

Hobbs' reported arrest arrives two months after Henry Ruggs III was charged with DUI resulting in death for a fatal Las Vegas crash.

Fucking unreal. Just 2 months after the Ruggs fiasco.

Yeah I remember when you posted this before and I replied to it. Pro tip: restating what you already said isn’t a viable counter to an objection. I said that CTE could have played a role in his devolution. The huge hole in your argument is that earlier in his career he was keeping it together…until he wasn’t. This also coincides with a time in which he received multiple concussions. So what I’m saying is that unless you’ve examined him and done a scan of his brain you’re talking out your ass in saying it couldn’t play a role here.

Well if you are using that logic, then you don’t know if CTE is the cause either. AB was also a head case in high school as well. Maybe just maybe, people inflating his ego early on explains the reason he is the way he is.

 

[Heatles84]

Show me where I said they shouldn’t hold the player accountable?

I have a very simple way that Arians could have handled the situation without the drama.

Let AB do what he wants? See nothing wrong with that.

 

[Heatles84]

And you do realize that Arians and the Bucs are part of that, right?

If you mean giving a second chance to a player then sure.

 

[Heatles84]

Again find it funny that everyone universally agrees that this is 100% AB that fucked up. But yeah let’s also blame Arians because AB has issues.

Why was AB on the bench in the first place?

AB in the builidng at Barclays

In South Florida, high school football is big down here like it is in Texas; except in a more condensed area. Add in street agents and hustlers, you hear everything on these HS kids. Their egos are blown up while playing ball. AB was definitely no exception.

CA is pretty huge when it comes to HS football also.

@trojanfan12 and @ChiefsLakers67 can confirm that.

Don’t doubt that. But south Florida is small in size in comparison to Cali and HS kids that are stars in high school live under a microscope. That’s what I was eluding to in terms of AB.

 

[Heatles84]

Why was AB on the bench in the first place?

Wasn’t aware that the same WRs play every single snap.

so you don't think it is possible he asked out because of his ankle. Tampa just happened to be in a 1 WR 3 TE look and he got upset when asked back in the game. That doesn't sound very believable

 

[Heatles84]

AB was a star WR out of a powerhouse south Florida program and ended up at CMU. Think about that.

Tampa only has 2 WRs??!?

 

[Heatles84]

AB said he hurt his ankle, must be true even if he was skipping off the field. AB seems like a stand up dude, so I see no reason he’d lie or bring unneeded attention upon himself.

 

[bksballer89]

yeah you're just being silly right now. They are not going to have Grayson, Johnson, or Perriman in on a 2 WR formation over AB

 

[bksballer89]

not like he had this ankle injury since early october or anything. He just magically made up a random ankle injury yesterday. Once again your story about him faking this injury that he had for 2+ months is totally believable

I didn’t say that.

I said they should cut him.

That is the opposite of “letting him do what he wants”.

What I said is that Arians should have ignored him on the sideline during the game and addressed it after.

 

[Heatles84]

AB may have bipolar disorder, you can get help for that shit. AB strikes me as someone that just doesn’t like authority which is why he goes from team to team in football. The head coach has to be an authoritarian. Shit, after all of this, I’m amazed Tomlin put up with him for as long as he did.

 

[fightinfunbags]

It’s probably why I was sure to say COULD.

AB still collects a check while on Tampa’s roster.
