I agree they are only accusations at this point but it appears that they could have talked to araiza, his attorney, etc after reading the civil suit and learned more from them as well (then had been previously disclosed). Maybe araiza said he never had sex with the girl and now admits he did. We just don’t know what he said to them previously.

Hold everything! 53% of ST snaps last night vs 18% for Kumerow

It is because, as he said, they learned more in the 24 hours leading up to the game than they knew previously. That’s why he was in Carolina, expecting to play, and no other punter on the roster. It was a last minute decision to not play him. That’s why McD couldn’t sleep. It was the details in the civil suit that they didn’t have until Thursday evening

Some guy who is a good holder

12 days!! Not time for the official game week thread yet but here we go 😱

I don’t really see it that he was hung out to dry. McDermott speaks to the media after every game, not Beane and not ownership. The timing of the presser being right after the game led to him handling the questioning. He’s capable of representing the organization, he has done so many times with and without Beane. Beane himself has never shied from the media and I expect will address soon. Not sure why Kim would need to face the media, we don’t even know her medical condition.

I’m not sure if they can suspend him without pay per the cba. I think it would have to be like watson’s situation last year and make him inactive every week and still pay him. But then you are using two roster spots on punters

Again I think what makes it tough is that they don’t know if he raped her. It’s easy to say just cut him because he’s named as an accomplice but he may be innocent. There were other players there and she didn’t remember anything. He’s saying the details in the suit are not accurate. It’s tough to separate the emotion.

It appears to me that araiza and his representation - agent, lawyer, etc) were not forthcoming with all the details because the Bills went from feeling comfortable with their info to not comfortable once the civil suit dropped. They had been aware one was coming and reportedly used an investigator but McDermott said they learned new details in the prior 24 hours.

Good overview of McDermott from last night. To me it appears that araiza and his representation wasnt forthcoming with the org.

I think the wording was “thorough examination”

The nameplate being off of his locker is ominous for him as is mcd’s entire words and body language. Guilty or not, wouldn’t be surprised if McD doesn’t want him on the team because he has an actual ginormous game to get ready for and doesn’t have the time or energy to deal with this

Barkley said he had never practiced punting before and found out right before the game when they asked him to do it

Probably the details in the civil suit. It just dropped yesterday He will probably talk tomorrow

They may have. It was released during the game and he was coaching

There it is
