Does Mathieu get it?

[Mr. Scot]

Remember Dez Bryant's curfew/restrictions?

• A midnight curfew. If he's going to miss curfew, team officials must know in advance;

• No drinking alcohol.

• He can't attend any strip clubs and can only attend nightclubs if they are approved by the team and he has a security team with him.

• He must attend counseling sessions twice a week.

• A rotating three-man security team will leave one man with Bryant at all times.

• Members of the security team will drive Bryant to practices, games and team functions.

Not saying that we are even going to get him, but if we do it will be a pain in the ass but you do what you can to bolster your areas of need (and we don't have a need for him). Everything except for providing him with security is ok with me

Bryant has still managed to cause distractions, even despite all that.

[Mr. Scot]

Mathieu now on Twitter saying he didn't approve the "First Round Draft Pick" part of the flier.

He is still, however, having an "after party" on Thursday Night.

Fan response :lol:

1st round is the only round tomorrow. Were you planning on having the after party before you were drafted?

This is reminiscent of UNC WR Dwight Jones

I read a SI article in him and the guy is a mess. He struggles to get through the day w/o smoking. Pretty sad given what he gas to lose if he smokes. I think he is undraftable at this point

[TheRed]

Shame, the guy has a lot of talent. I highly doubt he goes undrafted though.

[Mr. Scot]

I'm confident he'll be drafted. Don't think it'll be by us.

See it as about 50-50 that he busts. Could probably be talked into higher probability. Doubt I could be talked down.

[4Corners]

Bengals will draft this guy. Mark it down.

[La Pantera]

He's just a punkass...

[x djdrew x]

the kid is an absolute idiot.

with that being said, I think he would have the potential to be a Janoris Jenkins or Vontaze Burfict type player on the field, if he's not suspended or kicked out of the league before he would actually make it to a game that counts. Burfict was by all accounts lazy, aloof, did not really care at all.....and all he did was go out and lead the Bengals in tackles last year as an UDFA.

Really pathetic, but I think if he was focused and had his head where it should be, he'd be a first round pick. He's far ahead talent wise of guys like Dee Milliner, but with poo for brains, he's barely worth a piece of gum that is stuck under a desk at my old high school..

[Bj-Monster23]

I'd agree that if he were to be drafted here, his first few experiences with Steve Smith are likely to leave him needing a change of shorts.

A new face also.

Jay Glazer reported yesterday that Tyrann Mathieu recently cancelled two pre-draft visits claiming illness.

PFT further reported that on a visit he did make, Mathieu made a lousy impression on a veteran player who had overcome his own off-the-field issues. The player said he came off as more interested in how much money he was going to make than in being a good player and that he didn't seem all that enthused about hard work.

Now, one day after the report of his being too sick for draft visits, he's inviting people to come party with him. The instagram invitation lists him as "First Round Draft Pick Tyrann Mathieu, aka Honey Badger" (this after saying he was trying to move on from the nickname and the image associated with it).

So you tell me, is Mathieu just a kid with a big personality or is he a numbskull that just doesn't get it?

You know, these are the kind of things you would think Cam was doing to get the kind of vitriol he got pre-draft. Tyrann is either a total headcase or has all the media savvy of a peanut.

Bengals will draft this guy. Mark it down.

Haaaaa, yep, off to Cincy he goes. I miss those old days when Carson Palmer was trying to just constantly pick pieces back up after every news story of another arrested bengal. hahaha good times

[thefuzz]

I mean, if you have talent like that and can just put down the bowl for 6-10 years, you can smoke as much weed as you like, for the rest of your life after that.

Good Lord.

[Razeyfingers]

Sounds like hes trying to make a point of doing it just to spite . . conformity?

I dont know which is worse, probably about the same.
