Playing it safe, with Ramonce Taylor

Maybe he's been celebrating that National Championship a little too hard.  Maybe he's lost focus since VY went pro.  For whatever reason, Ramonce Taylor, apparently, hasn't lived up to his coaches' expectations regarding his academic responsibilities.  He has been relieved of spring ball duties in order to focus on his school work.  From the Dallas Morning News:

"I felt like he needed to focus on his academic work," Brown said. "He can now go work with (football academic adviser) Brian Davis and his staff. We want him to have full focus on that, and we want him to understand it's important for us that he do his work."
This is a bit disconcerting if you figure that RT will play a pivotal role in the 2006 offense.  It's too bad that he can't spend spring learning the rhythms and styles of the two QBs.  On the other hand, if this prevents a PJ Tucker, I can't really complain.  Here's the link to the full article, which isn't much of an article:

Not good
It sounds like this is more than just an academic breather. From what I've heard (and I don't subscribe to Orangebloods), he's had some discipline and misbehaving problems.

Don't be shocked if Ramonce is a casualty of his own self-control or lack there of. Fans need to prepare themselves for a Ramonceless team next fall.

It sounds like it will take a big turnaround in grades and tude for Ramonce to be welcome back.
