The Facts:
Blackmon was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars little more than a year ago. In that brief time, he has an ugly DUI arrest to go with a four-game suspension for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse. Red flags are flapping around the talented second-year wideout, but Blackmon told reporters on Monday that he doesn't believe he has a drinking or substance abuse problem. "No, I would say I don't," Blackmon said. "If you want to ask if I have a problem? I have a problem with making a poor decision."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Blackmon was asked what he intends to do moving forward. "Just lean on my support group. (general manager) David (Caldwell) and (coach) Gus (Bradley) have been very supportive ever since they've been here," Blackmon said. "I've been going in and talking to them almost every day so having them there, having the teammates here that I have here have been very supportive here and it feels good to have people I can lean on and talk to." Blackmon chose not to comment when asked if he has plans to check himself into a rehabilitation clinic. He said he's "very confident" this will be the last time he encounters off-field issues. ... And if he comes up short? A year-long suspension would be next on the list of punishments should Blackmon backslide.
