That is what the 5th amendment to the constitution is for. One cannot be forced to incrimimate one's self. He may be forced to rat out a teammate unless he can legally and artfully avoid it. Maybe the 5th could be used here as well (by knowing who kicked he may be considered in obstruction of justice). What the Grand Jury takes from his testimony may be another thing. Also if he testifies fully he gives the processutor a chance to challenge him either then or at trial. A suspect testifing befor a GJ is talking great risk whether innocent or guilty.
My bad. I thought that he could use the 5th and not answer any questions. It would be a very awqward testimony: I plead the 5th, I really don't remember what happend anyway.....so to speak
but will the da allow the grand jury to go in unlimited directions? i thought it was convened to decide it there was sufficient evidence to take jj to trial, not to look for who else might be involved.
IF Jefferson becomes the starter again and loses, then you will also crap a load of bricks along with Les. I think he will get a chance to earn the starters job, but not as the incumbent. he will have to take it away from Lee with superior play, meaning he won't be handed the starter instantly and will be worked into the game gradually. Jefferson let Les down and Lee stepped up and got the job done. If Lee continues to do so, he will continue to play. I agree. But Jefferson is a month behind the rest of the team, both physically and mentally. He has a lot to prove in practice before we see him on the field and in charge. No one knows if this distraction has made a nervous wreck out of him. By the time he gets reinstated and up to speed it is going to be November. By then Lee will be everything we want and expect or he will be sharing time with Mettenberger and Jefferson will have serious competition to take the starters job. By then we may have lost a quarterback and will have to play Jefferson early and often. Much can happen.
No, I'm not saying he should start immediately. But people here are making it as if he shouldn't even be considered for a job he technically didn't even lose, which would not be fair. What I am saying is that it will only upset OUR apple cart, not the players. They want him back. He won the starting job during competition. He deserves a chance to earn it back. What you guys are missing is J Lee never proved himself worthy to start. It fell into his lap. He was the backup. He just did what coaches hope all backups do. Come in and play well and help the team win games. His performance on the field, while admirable, does not preclude the fact that he was beaten for the job in an open competition. It wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if J Lee kept the job. He's played well enough to do so. But I also won't think the sky is falling if the competition reopens. It's only fair. If JJ wins the competition then great, we have two starter quality guys on a damn strong football team.
Oh, no! I'm saying it's fair! He hasn't been with the team for a situation HE found himself in and his replacement has taken a strong hold of his opportunity...Much the same way JJ did when Lee went down due to injury vs Ole Miss. Lee is running the offense at near perfection and his completion % is higher and more consistant than anything JJ has shown week-to-week the past 2 seasons.
I'm sorry but LSU would have to lose a game due to a poor passing effort and poor overall offense (e.g., WVU 13, LSU 9) before JJ will be considered as a threat to take back over the reigns of this offense. By the time JJ can even compete (physically and mentally) for the position, LSU could be 7-0 heading into the Auburn game. JJ ain't starting in that situation, period. It's Lee's team til the end at that point.
1.) You don't need a "cannon" for an arm in the red zone. You're throwing it 20 yards--not 50. Any one of us can reach the endzone from 20 yards. You need accuracy...NOT cannon arm strength. 2.) This is where JL seperates himself from JJ as a QB, IMO. If JJ was such a good redzone QB, HE's on the field in the dying moments of the game vs Florida last year, not Lee.
