Chris Rainey in jail

“@EdBouchette: RT“@RapSheet: #Steelers RT @Gator_sports: Former UF RB Chris Rainey is in the Alachua County jail for a domestic battery charge. #Gators”

 

Honestly I don't really care for Rainey. His off the field issues coming into the draft were a concern for me.

He didn't even really impress me on the field this year either... I don't know why he was on the field so much, he looks very average. He is quick, but doesn't have the extra gear to be considered anything special.

Pouncey vouched for Rainey and Gilbert, so far these guys aren't cutting it.

what is wrong with these punks.[/FONT]

 

I thought "Ugh" was the best response to this thread until I read this.

Talk about all hype.

Rainey seems like nothing more than a Stefan Logan clone. Quick and fast but not strong enough to make anything happen. Goes down with the first fingertip on a shoestring. Fumble-prone. Injury-prone. What did he really gives us this year that we couldn't have gotten from any other guy like him in the league?

Chris Rainey is easily replacable. If there are character issues, launch him.

 

My sentiments exactly.

 

Jesus Christ, what is wrong with this year's team ... First Moo, now Rainey ... Are we turning into the LIONS?

 

Cut his ass but they won't look at amu

 

agreed

 

more like the bengals

 

Oh boy. This doesn't bode well for Rainey, he already has a bad history. Steelers really need to do stronger evaluations on the players they are drafting.

But Burfict had off the field problems, keeps his nose cleasn ( so far) and we can't even sign him as an undrafted free agent.

 

Actually, the Bungles have been keeping fairly quiet last offseason iirc ... the Detroit Punks on the other hand, not so much

 

Thing about Burfcit is he had issues ON the field, I don't seem to recall anything OFF the field. I believe he was actually a pretty good student and what not????

Brufict is just uber competitive, but he focused his energy in the wrong way....if he could be with a mentor like Ray Lewis,Mike Singletary, or Ronnie Lot I think that is all he needs. It looks like he might be getting that mentorship from Marvin Lewis.

I liked his highlight reel online, it was really his NFL combine process and him being too raw that made me second guess him.

 

Yea Tomlin sure can pick them

 

I didnt mean the Bengals this off season, I meant the Bengals of old, when every off season someone was arrested and in jail. But the bengals did have a player get arrested the day after the loss to the texans last weekend.

 

Fixed.

 

Its disgusting. His on the field performance was minimal, quick but goes down when a LBers gets within breathing distance. So I'm not a big fan of his but had high hopes he'd get better. Now he can just go. If the Skins can get Morris in the 6th we can replace him easily.

My issue with him is he slapped a women. No need to go there, ever.

Cajun-

 

He didn't learn his lesson after the first time? Stupid piece of ****

 

Actually a second year safety for the Bungles got arrested last week for Domestic violence but that still doesn't stop the fact that the Steelers are indeed turning into the Bungles.

The problem is that none of these punks ever had a parent (mostly father figure) that would instill discipline and woop their ass at times when they would do stupid things.

Cut every player with a crimnal record right now. If I get in trouble I become unemployed. Why the difference?

 

crazy to think, but in april after the draft, the one person everyone really had concerns with was Mike Adams. And so far he's been the prize in this draft other than Decastro. Tomlin, or somebody needs to step up and talk to these young guys and put his foot down or do something. And this is just an observation, but is it just me or does it seem that when a steeler gets arrested that every news outlet out there reports it. Chris Rainey made tmz today? He wasn't a starter, a big name, or anything and TMZ reported it. Tmz is usually reporting things with actors, singers, and such, and some big name athletes. But never a 4th string rookie running back.

 

In this world of media we live in if these guys so much blink wrong then it can make news. Steelers or not, it doesn't matter. I just can't understand why they don't get that. TMZ just tries to be the first to report it. Don't blame the source blame the irresponsible idiot.

 

rainey finally show up .. unfortunately OFF the field

 

I wish I could say I surprised. I really do....
