Uh oh.

I'm going to jump to conclusions without knowing the facts and say this guy is a terd.  I think i'll fit in well around here!

Stepped on a pop top

Blew out my flip flop

 

Had to cruise on back home

 

Blah, blah, blah

 

As long as he shows up in next couple days no big deal

Never said he was a turd. In fact, in his time in Jax he's been pretty much anything but. Doesn't mean I can't still say "uh oh" when our best LEO doesn't report to camp after our first-round pick LEO is lost for the year.

Reading Bradley's comments in the T-U, he is clearly very concerned about this.  I am wondering what's going on here.  What are these "personal issues" that are keeping him from showing up at training camp?  

 

The guy is 34 years old, maybe he doesn't want to practice in the heat.  

 

If he can't get to work, I guess it's time to fire the guy.   Seriously.   He's 34.   We might need to move on.

Meh. Call me when its week 1.

I'm not accusing you of it.  I just made a tongue in cheek statement, mostly pointed at a large portion of this board as a whole.  It is concerning tho, i agree.

Did a little digging. It looks like he's dealing with a divorce. I assume that would classify as "personal reasons".

Hopefully it is not extended. If it is, it could be a good opportunity for Chris Smith. Gus seemed to speak highly of him in a recent interview with Shadrick.

So hopefully he's absent for dealing with the process and not emotional reasons.  I've seen divorce break men.

Bet Chris Smith is happy

Can't tell if serious...or...

Did team say he will get fined?  Just curious.

Serious.

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

Well... that article is from May.

 

And in that article it says that he filed for divorce, and then pulled the filing before his wife could respond.

 

Not sure that there is ANY correlation between him missing camp and the divorce/non divorce.

 

I also wouldn't think Gus would find it concerning that Clemons misses time for handling something like that. Usually a concerning absence is legal trouble or no good excuse.

---

He's a dinosaur. Give him all the rest he wants.

I must admit I saw a comment which made me laugh, and then made me think it was likely from of the pessimistic posters on this board

It made me laugh too.

 

The team has nobody to blame but themselves. 14 wins in 4 years.

Hopefully if it is about divorce he will show up mad at the world and want to take it out on every opposing teams QB, kind of like the waterboy
