Alameda Ta'amu Seems To Be Doing Well
He should have been such a beast for us. I really thought he was going to have a huge year after the 2010 Holiday Bowl. Instead, he was inconsistent, overweight, and lazy. He took a ton of plays off. I'm sure playing for Nick Holt and Johnny Nansen didn't help. I'm glad he has lost some weight and has put his off field stuff behind him.

He'd be a first......
In October 2011 Ta'amu was charged with driving under the influence for an incident that occurred December 12, 2009, while he was playing for the University of Washington. The police report stated that Ta'amu was stopped for driving 73 mph in a 60 mph zone at 3:40 a.m. and that he "smelled [of] an odor of alcohol" and had "blood-shot watery eyes." Police said Ta'amu, who was 19 at the time, registered 0.097 and 0.098 on breath tests. Ta'amu pleaded guilty to negligent driving, for which he was sentenced to one day in a community-work program and ordered to pay a $350 fine.
