Pulley probably cost himself some money, as now he’s going to have the “character issue” tag. It will be interesting to see if the staff gives him much help/support to make it to the pros. On the one hand, he’s got talent and it’s good for the program for guys to go the next level. On the other hand he really screwed up and embarrassed the program.
Exchanged phone numbers? That’s how the question was asked at the press conference, seems unlikely, did they have pencil and notepad? I’m fine w the suspension if the coach thinks it’s warranted but sounds like hooey to me.
kudos to Coach Morris for toeing the line. Tough to do after giving up 52 and now going on the road to face Mizzu and Drew Lock. Discipline is a key ingredient in a successful football program. Everyone has to be subject to the same rules. Hopefully the kids will gain some maturity from it, if not, bon voyage fellas, we don’t need football players not interested in winning football games.
Pulley is lots better than Mitchell. There is just no comparison on cover skills. Pulley has much better hip movement, and he’s quicker to the ball when he has to cover out of moves in front of him. Mitchell was the best we had at corner for a long time, but I don’t think he would start in front of McClellion or Pulley this year-which kind of tells you where we’ve been on cornerback recruiting until recently.
Pulley has played very well at times this year, but he was bad on Saturday, and has not been very consistent the last three or four games. They ask a lot out of him in this scheme, and like any CB locked up in man, if he fails everybody sees it.
I don’t remember if Pulley walked on senior day, but he is a fourth year junior and will be 23 years old before long. I will be surprised if he does not take his chances in the draft.
Unbelievable by both kids and glad to see CCM taking a stance on this sort of stuff. You want to create a certain type of culture then everyone is accountable, starter or not!
Pulley like to celebrate after he makes a play. He better learn to look for the ball. He has been a disappointment to me all season and look at how many blown coverages he had Saturday along with missed tackles and just a don’t give a hoot effort.
Curl just followed the wrong upperclassmen. I hope he learns a lesson and returns.
The NFL don’t put up with attitudes so Pulley better take notice.
I’m glad to see CCM take action and enforce discipline.
No way to answer this, of course, but I wonder if Pulley and Curl would have been suspended if we were 8-2 instead of 2-8. Maybe CM would cut them some slack if so, maybe not. I don’t disagree with the decision in any way. Definite indication of a lack of focus, win or lose.
The NFL doesn’t put up with attitudes? The NFL is ALL attitudes. Particularly in D-backs and wide receivers. That’s a battle of egos as much as a battle of physical skills.
I had faith that CCM would do some “rough justice” in this case. Glad he suspended them. Hate it for the team. Wasn’t much chance of a win on Friday, but it doesn’t help to lose two starters in the secondary when the opponent’s quarterback is Drew Lock.
Swine, probably wouldn’t have happened if we had been 8-2. The focus would have been on the game. I just don’t understand why they didn’t wait until after the game.
