Re: Carlos Dunlap out of the SECCG

I have heard from a very reliable source that Dunlap will not only be suspended for the coin toss, but the national anthem as well. Coach Meyer will not stand for bad behavior from his players.

Re: Carlos Dunlap out of the SECCG

Dunlap and Cunningham are a pretty potent combo at DE.
Now, it looks like Cunningham and Trattou, or Cunningham and Lemmens.

This isn't detrimental to UF like it would be to most other SEC teams, but if he is out, it definitely gives us an advantage. Particularly when you consider this: If Florida gets consistent pressure on McElroy, they could well shut down our offense. Losing Dunlap makes this a lot more difficult. McElroy will likely have more time in the pocket, and will be less rattled.

Having said that, Dunlap plays.

Re: Carlos Dunlap out of the SECCG

Of course not, lol. HUGE break for you guys....2nd year in a row you caught a huge break before the SECCG. You just gotta roll with the punches though.
Just as losing Hightower for the year has been a HUGE break for everyone we've faced this year, including the Gators.

It's all relative. Just part of the game.

Re: Carlos Dunlap out of the SECCG

I have little doubt that we will see Dunlap in the SECCG. Might... might be suspended for a little bit of it. Might.
There's absolutely no way he plays another game as a Gator.

According to police, Rogers was dispatched to the area to check out reports of a reckless driver in a Chrysler. Rogers said that when he found the car matching the description, it was stopped although the traffic light was green. Rogers said he watched the light cycle through several times but the car remained stopped.

When Rogers approached the car, he said he saw Dunlap alone in the car and apparently asleep while at the wheel.

"The front windows of the defendant's (Dunlap's) vehicle were cracked slightly and officers on the scene were unable to wake the defendant," Rogers wrote in the arrest report. "Loud repetitive commands were given to the defendant who would only open his eyes momentarily and nod back off."

Rogers said he reached in through the slightly opened window to unlock the car and noticed that it was still in gear. After shifting the car into park and turning off the ignition, Rogers and other said they noticed that Dunlap's breath smelled of alcohol, his eyes were watery and bloodshot, that he had trouble maintaining his balance and did poorly on field sobriety tests.

The difference, of course, being timing. It took us a few games to work out the kinks in replacing Hightower.

Re: Carlos Dunlap arrested for DUI (out for SECCG?)

Wow... He doesn't deserve to play. That's just childish and selfish behavior on his part.

Re: Carlos Dunlap arrested for DUI (out for SECCG?)

Losing your right defensive end, especially one as good as Dunlap is very similar to losing a left offensive tackle like Andre Smith.

Regardless of how much depth you may have those guys just can't be replaced 99 out of 100 times.

It would hurt the Gators terribly if he doesn't play. It opens up options for our offense that simply will not be there if he's in the game.

I can't see Meyer suspending him simply because, at this point, he'll probably say it wouldn't really be fair to the rest of the team.

Hard call though for Meyer. Almost a no win situation.

Re: Carlos Dunlap out of the SECCG

Until I hear from CUM that Dunlap is out of the game, I will continue to believe that he will play. If he is willing to risk Tebow's life by letting him play against LSU when he was clearly not ready, a silly little thing like a DUI will not stand in his way...
UM has no choice. The dude was slumped over the wheel of his car at an intersection! God knows how much alcohol it took to do that to a man his size. Perhaps the cops would have handled it differently with a little alcohol on his breath, but they had no choice in this matter.

Either the dude is toast or UM's reputation is toast. Bets?

Hard call because it is Meyer making it? :conf3:

IMO, any coach with an ounce of integrity would have to suspend a player who gets a DUI for at least one game - no matter what that game might be.

I see him playing the "innocent until proven guilty" card, even though a decision not to take the breathalyzer test makes this a slam dunk...

Re: Carlos Dunlap arrested for DUI (out for SECCG?)

Any chance Tebow was in the back seat!;)
LOL

i just don't see how tebow allows something like this to happen.


and have to add there is NO WAY Urban can explain this one away and let him play! just no way he plays. (and james carpenter says yea :) ) I'm sure his backup is plenty good, but i know like three guys names on that defense - and he's one of them. (plus just read he was MVP of the national champ game, so yeah, he's good)

plus they are already without a starting LB.
