Cissoko possibly back, not starting
Buried at the end of the Chengelis article, this little blurb, re Cissoko:
"'If he does what he needs to do (Friday), he’ll be ready to go in action Saturday,' Rodriguez said"

Hopefully a good learning experience for him, we are going to need him next year for sure and maybe at some point this year as well.

I think we need him back this year, nevermind next year. If he is healthy and is straightening things out I hope he gets another shot soon.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:09 AM ^
Somebody should pass this info to GBMW.
As they claim he has a long way to go before he puts on pads.
We'll see which INSIDERZ is correct. 50/50
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:37 AM ^
I think I'll put my money on the quote that (supposedly) came directly from the head football coach.
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:45 PM ^
After checking previous posts on Cissoko's suspension im still wondering what did he do?
All i got is that he "violated team rules"... is he doing drugs or are his grades not up to par, or worse?
Anyone have an answer on this, and sorry if it was addressed earlier in October, my survey of prior posts was not exhaustive.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:09 PM ^
Some combination of grades and extracurricular activities that many College age kids partake in.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:12 PM ^
The two rumors I saw were:
1) attitude, missing pratice/meetings
2) smoking
I do not know him, so I cannot comment on the validity of the rumors. These are usually the same rumors that pop up with a violation of team rules. 18-19 year old kids are cocky and make poor decisions. I've done it myself, so I don't think these are out of the realm of possibility.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:11 PM ^
has no INSIDERZ info, so my money is on GBMW.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:12 AM ^
really makes me wish with even more fury that Warren sticks around another year. He can continue to help Boo Boo grow and lead through is example of how to play the position and how to battle through adversity as he did with his nagging injury last year.
obviously we need warren back there next year, but his presence has the potential to be felt for several more years after he is gone.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:23 AM ^
Hopefully Cissoko stays on the bench. I'd rather have Kovacs and Williams at safety than Cissoko at corner and Woolfolk at safety.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:33 AM ^
Agreed. Do we ever come out with 3 CB sets? If so, then I would definitely want Cissoko in there as that 3rd guy. Yeah he's struggled this season but I still think he's one of the best we have.
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:59 PM ^
I still would like to see Booboo out there, IF....he truly has done what he needs to get "reinstated". He had to have been very diappointed in losing his starting position. I'd like to see him get on the field a bit - simply to reinforce his "good" behaviors, and to reward his efforts in getting out of RRs doghouse.
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:25 PM ^
Right now, we are better with the secondary lineup we have been playing since BooBoo got benched. But 4star depth is a good thing regardless, and him being back on the team is good for our long term depth.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:25 AM ^
up for the 2011 draft virtually guarantees Warren goes pro this year. It would be silly of him not to unless for some reason his draft rating comes back with a second day pick (not going to happen).
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:50 AM ^
Damn you!
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:18 PM ^
the rookie salary cap issue?
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:13 PM ^
I don't think we've come out in even one nickel defense this year. With Brown covering slot receivers, he's sort of a fifth DB anyway.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:10 PM ^
but it doesn't mean a 3rd QB wouldn't be better in obvious passing situations or against a team like Purdue. I could see Cissoko being better than Kovacs (or Mouton/Ezeh) with 4 or 5 wideouts. Good to have the option at least...
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:26 PM ^
I think in passing situations we should stick to only 1 QB, 2 tops. That 3rd QB is not going to yield good results.
(SHERIDAN!)
October 24th, 2009 at 1:55 AM ^
This comment is thoroughly confusing.
First of all, what does a QB have to do with Cissoko, S. Brown, etc.?
Second, I never said anything about Cissoko being better than Kovacs against the spread. I said we HAVEN'T come out in a nickel look, not that we shouldn't.
