    NFL suspended TE Weslye Saunders four games for violating an undisclosed league policy.
    Saunders' resume was a red flag-filled mess coming out of South Carolina last year, and was ultimately the reason he went undrafted. Problems are happening again. An oft-used blocker after making the Steelers out of training camp, Saunders played about 15 snaps a game and held his own in pass protection. The 23-year-old only caught four passes for 29 yards and a touchdown. Feb 7 - 12:24 AM

    I guess we'll find out what it was eventually...? I can't imagine it has anything to do with college, but he doesn't have any NFL "strikes" against him, so drugs seems unlikely.

    We can live without him for 4 games. But MAN I hope this doesn't give them an excuse to keep Johnson around.

    I agree. Once again, I'll put forward my vague hope that Barron Batch is used for his blocking skills as much as his running, and fills in the DJ role.

    Out of interest, how good was Saunders at blocking? I never really noticed him in the game unless he was getting thrown to...

    Isn't he supposed to be Heath's replacement? I really hope it's His Majesty just being a prick and that it's not something big.

    Hopefully it isn't for anything major. I think he has great talent, if he uses it or not will be another story.

    That's just silly. This dude definitely did something wrong to get 4 games on the street.

    All the more reason to start using a fullback in some formations.

    As a godfather of an autistic child, your post is extremely offensive. Might want to think before you type next time.

    Well thats not a good sign. Maybe they look for a TE now somewhere in the draft. DJ gotta go ,bring in a fullback and draft a TE . Maybe a tweener type. Thoughts?

    If this is true - what are the chances he stays on the roster? They gave up on Santonio - and he was considered a superstar.

    It has to be something awfully significant. It's FOUR games. What's odd is that it's "undisclosed."

    He went undrafted due to problems in college.

    I think that's jumping the gun a little bit, christening him Heath's replacement. I thought he was just a good diamond in the rough we found who could fill in for the departed Spaeth. I'd imagine we would make more of an obvious move in the early rounds of a draft for Heath's replacement... in a few years.

    That's just silly. I didn't say anything different than what's been said in all of the hate roger goodell threads. And I didn't know we had to be so politically correct around here. Just admit it, you got your feelings hurt when I busted your chops about always degrading other Steelers fans in just about every thread you visit. That’s it. Should I worry about my car exploding or getting fitted for concrete shoes now that I have offended the Godfather?? :roll: :bowdown:

    This has nothing to do with you busting my chops (I couldn't care less about what some random person on the internet says about me) and I never said I was the Godfather, I said I was a godfather. Would it have been better to say as the uncle of an autistic child? :roll:

    The word retard is offensive but I guess you don't care. Stay classy.
