Oakland Raiders coach Hue Jackson has already stood behind his troubled linebacker once, letting Rolando McClain play this past weekend against the Miami Dolphins in the wake of his mid-week arrest in Alabama. Now, he's voicing his support a second time, telling the San Francisco Chronicle on Monday that he does not believe the NFL should suspend McClain based on the information he has on McClain's case. "I'm taking a stand behind my player," Jackson said. Jackson told reporters, however, that after conducting some "fact-finding" he believes McClain simply was in the wrong place "at the wrong time." When all the details of the case are known, Jackson said, "I think maybe ... we'll all feel different about it." The Chronicle reported the NFL is conducting its own investigation into the incident, if the league decides the suspension is warranted, Jackson said his views on McClain will change dramatically. "(I will) come down hard (on him)," Jackson said. "That would mean that someone's not being truthful." Source: NFL.com
No Hugh....you're right the NFL shouldn't....YOU FREAKING SHOULD!!!!!!! Dude puts a gun to a man's head tells him he's about to die and then fires the gun into the ground near the guy, and he plays that following Sunday? Ridiculous.
