Reddick suspended indefinitely; Beason out 3 weeks

Thirteen Miami players have been suspended for this Saturday’s game at Duke. One of the thirteen, safety Anthony Reddick is out indefinitely for using his helmet as a weapon and hitting an FIU player in the shoulder pad during the brawl.

Regarding Reddick, I think this is a fair suspension. I don’t support throwing anyone from Miami off this team as the Canes weren’t the aggressor. FIU started it and as a result, Chris Smith and Marshall McDuffie Jr. hvae been dismissed from the team, but will remain on scholarship.

Still, weilding a helmet as a weapon does deserve an indefinite suspension. If it were my choice, Reddick would be gone for the rest of the 2006 season.

Insult to injury comes in the form of LB Jon Beason being sidelined up to three weeks with an MCL injury. Beason was one Cane who didn’t participate in the brawl, citing that he wanted to play against the likes of Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech. Instead, he’s most likely sidelines until mid November.

Aside from the suspended Reddick and injured Beason, Miami will now be without Carlos Armour, Chris Barney, James Bryant, Tyrone Byrd, DajLeon Farr, Ryan Hill, Bruce Johnson, Charlie Jones, Brandon Meriweather, Brian Monroe, Derrick Morse and Randy Phillips.

Armour, Bryant, Byrd, Farr, Hill, Johnson, Jones, Meriweather, Monroe, Morse and Phillips all have seen extensive action this season and will be be sorely missed.
