Williams, Williams, and Allen facing imminent suspension

Hi all. BBS here. Saw this article over at Yahoo and thought Vikings fans would take interest. In short, it does not look good for the Williams DTs and Jared Allen. They are facing possible suspension for violation of the NFL's banned substance rules.

Jared Allen, Pat Williams and Kevin Williams all will meet with league officials in hopes of avoiding suspensions that would gut the team’s biggest strength.
The Williams Wall will appear to discuss testing positive for a weight-loss diuretic that is on the list of substances banned by the league. They face four-game suspensions for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy.

Allen will be there to talk about a hit on Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers two weeks ago that could leave him vulnerable to a suspension because it came two days after he was fined $50,000 for hits on Houston’s Matt Schaub.

Again, Allen is there to defend his late and low hits on QBs. I'm sure this is a hot topic among Vikes fans. So, I'm simply posting it and ducking for cover. It is impressive how the Vikes have managed to claw their way back since my Colts beat them in Minnesota in Week Two. The Vikes don't seem to have any quit.

If the NFL is heavy handed and decides to ignore reason and suspend all three, you’ll see a whole lot of quit. Or at least some terrible defense.

Holy Crap

I didn’t read that about Allen. I guess Allen should wait for 4 seconds after the QB throws before hitting them late. Apparently you get a free hit if you wait long enough (Ogunleye bastard!)
