You think that’s a good job of replacing guys?

Seems like a lot of nfl experience among new guys too.

All great picks, and it seems like we’ve got a bumper crop of prospects this year. For me the position battle to watch will be db/wr. We’ve got plenty of openings and it’s likely rookies will fill those spots. 1 starting wr, 1 kr, likely 2 dbs. Here’s a few guys I think will be good watches and could have a big camp. Ronnie brown. 5 11 185lbs dual threat rb who tore up d2. Also damn near made the bucks active roster couple years ago as tcf. Don’t know how he would/could be fit in, but I think he’s gonna go off on camp and pre season. Db terrell bonds has a good chance to take one of the starting db spots. NFL experience, kick cover and kr experience, started in ufl very productive in college. vanterpool at T is a guy to watch in the replacement for bond. Played g and t, very highly regarded in the nfl for a bit, huge streak with out giving up a sack or taking a penalty with great size. lber Michael Ayers, dominated d2 and has prototypical wil size and athleticism Jordan Lewis is another prolific lower level de/wil tweener to watch.

Nope, or his gig selling surgical stuff. He’s one of the most under utilized assets around Canadian football. I do believe you are right and that the commish has to live in gta for head offices. I think bc would be good with it. Ssk honestly hates randy enough that they’d take Doug or wade happily. Bc I think would be good with him, Alberta wouldn’t like him but they are two dumpster fires with fractional fan bases rn. pinball in reality would likely get the first shot at that job.

Wouldn’t say no to that. any one worth a damn would be nice in the short term. Long term though yeah. Some one who could do the job for 10+ years would be great. id make that sacrifice for the league. I’m not sure if wade would want it though. Did cohon didn’t come with football experience. I’d be really open, we could take a sports business guy like him, or say victor cui, and pair him with a guy like Buono for a few years to bring them a long. It’s been no secret that I’m but on cui, hed for sure be on my short list. A long with wade, pinball (out side of all this Kelly stuff) would be good. a huge sleeper pick he probably wouldn’t want it and no one out side of the bomber fan base would think it, but Doug brown would be a fantastic guy to groom for it. I could see Austin being in the mix, and huffer too.

I wonder if this could be the final nail in his coffin sure as hell should be. The hypocrisy of the league trying to be progressive and inclusive plus coming down harder than before on creeps then acting like this is insane. Unless the league has some kind of hard evidence that this is all fabricated, wagons should start circling. maybe the league could hire Buono to source and investigate candidates for a new comish lol

It’s like the worst parts of basketball and track combined with all the fun of watching paint dry, with the worst time keeping in history. If kids are playing it that’s great, sports give a lot to those who play it. It’s a decent sport for cross training. But I can’t understand people who enjoy it. Good for the gappers making a nice profit. They’re gonna need that money if they aren’t a play off team (and I don’t think they will be). The worm has turned in Regina and people will be as happy to see oday fired as they would be to win a bjb. More and more the sea of green is turning into browns fans with paper bags. Apathy is the most dangerous thing for a sports team. This generation has seen the riders win and it has no novelty any more. They aren’t gonna keep coming out to watch a crap team. True. Especially since guys have started training to excel in just the tests.

Some of that has been true in the past, and d2/3 have a combined combine day, however even most of those schools and colleges specially the d1 no longer allow grouping of out side players. This has been the case for almost 15 years now. More d2/3 schools have the pro days now that you’d think. Ds is not the source, they draw their nfl prospect numbers from the nfl. They take fringe players numbers from all kinds of sources. That why you’ll see huge variances on some guys testing numbers and edits. Ras ras also brings all kinds of spurious numbers in. And you can enter data and entrees. Hand times are not reliable. even amongst those with amazing reflexes and expert level execution. I’ve personally seen manual times of professionals range from sub 4.2 to high 4.3 on the same pass. Guys who have never broken 4.5 suddenly running low 4.3s. Doesn’t matter who is timing it when it’s manual.

I’d give free tick drink and popcorn to schools and pack games with students. the soccer league and team are dead though even the what ever old guy basketball league we have now has more of a pulse. tbh if we are gonna put money and effort into some thing, it should be the bison and rifles use the ground swell of support to really grow the pipe line with in the province. Such a good bad movie lol. Wasnt his defence some thing like he didn’t know it was banned lol.

NFL draft page is the reliable page. Ds isn’t, unless it’s a draft prospect. They default to claimed times and don’t indicated official verifiable times. At big schools sure. But not at average schools. Do you know how many medium and small schools have a pro day each year? You’re talking north of 360 just in d1, at the same time of year. On top of that some atheltes and groups run their own pro days. You’d be stunned how many actually happen each year, we’re talking north of 500. Some juco, hs, and bush leagues even run pro day type events, though often aimed at d1 schools. Some of the position, and athletic testing/training camps have been doing them as well. I heard a horror story of an arena league team doing a combine at their try out day where they used yard sticks and foot over foot methods and a cell phone to time sprints. Lots of schools will gas up their major young guys tell them they ran or jumped some thing crazy in spring too. I don’t love a lot of the sprints, it’s hard to get an idea of a runner based on 10 20 40 times. The 40 was invented to only test guys for their ability to cover punts. Then later used for WRs to measure deep routes. The broad and vert aren’t as mechanically demanding as high and triple jumps. If any thing I’d love to see a time measurement added to broad and verts, as well as vert splits for no step 1 step 2 step and runway vert. The nba has long separated guys ability to jump with no gather Vs steps. Football could really learn from that.

This is a great point. Honestly the sum she’s suing for is soo relatively small I’m surprised mlse didn’t just write a cheque and slap a gag order on this.

yeah, and I think that’s always a concern when you’re looking at kids who fall to junior college for any reason. But I think it’s also super easy to weed (lol) those guys out in a single conversation. Really interesting break down of the star recruit system and a bit of the positional scouting anomalies. It’s interesting to compare to how we scout and what attributes we prize at different positions as well.

Not a terrible reliable source though, they post claimed numbers. They are good at updating nfl combine prospects but not none invites. Si has his official time at 4.9. They also have his claimed fast time incorrect. Vert is a better success indicator than 40 for de, broad even better. Problem is many schools for pro days do max vert and list as vert instead of no step. it’s dumb for sure. But I mean he was kid. Kids are dumb. Could also have felt he needed it for inflammation/pain. A lot of ncaa kids smoke weed or cbd to try and avoid opioids.

You mean 80% of the pro sports athletes in North America? Idc about the weed what so ever. More worrisome when a guy red shirts for academic reasons to me. If you can’t find and stick to the mail it in courses in football schools that’s scary. Though even that I think is over rated. I hate the ncaa development system for sports. It’s soo broken and out of place it’s not even funny. Remember when we had a db pop for mdma a couple years back? Better than that too. I’m pretty sure his reaction would’ve been oh crap they test for none peds? Habba ran a 4.9 pro day as well but at 240. Some guys don’t translate to track speed just like some track fast guys don’t translate to the field (Barrett the lber last year is a good example) he’s also more quick with an explosive first step like Habba. Idk if his quickness will be still be quick enough for the cfl. But if it is he could be a real gem. Habbas certainly does. He’s also got decent comparisons to jeffcoat, but JJ was faster and way more polished. Imp version of kongbo but with character issues. Though kongbo had run better 40s in the past. I think he tested post injury 4.8 but had run low 4.6 at some point. But college unofficial times are real suspect. can we sign kongbo too please? Some very interesting names still floating as fas.

I read the first sentence as images of matlock immediately sprung to mind lol.

No, sexual harassment on the other hand can be but unless news gets a whole lot darker I don’t expect any thing like that to happen. I think the league is gonna end up hitting him for 2-4 games, and how he takes that is any one’s guess. Dude could bolt, or just eat it. the Argos brass will be interesting though. I think we could see some real heavy punishments handed out to them.

Idk, I feel like 3dn is mostly populated by employed homers. The news just keeps getting deeper about Kelly. I suspect more remains as both sides play for leverage. If they do have any big bombs to drop, I would expect them early in camp.

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/chauncey-rivers/32005249-5643-7618-72e5-8964dd14fd15 Plays like Habba, but bigger stronger guy. Really strong tackler, a guy whose talent isn’t easily measured. Has tremendous upside. If weed wasn’t the issue that it is in some states and the ncaa, he would’ve stuck at Georgia and probably been a mid to late draft pick. interestingly he was signed traded and cut in the ufl all in a couple weeks this year. Interesting camp guy, boom or bust prospect.

Qft. Happy for more money to the team other wise.

That would be a much stronger point, if we hadn’t seen a string of awful returnmen before grant as well. We frequently bring in dbs with return man experience as well. Our prototype db is athletic play makers. Same with RBs. I hope we haven’t moved on from grant but it sure seems like it. Another benefit is lucky is a fifo guy. Kr in the cfl is as much about execution as talent and dynamic play making. If we have a high upside guy who is translating that to the field here in camp and pre season, a guy like lucky can help coach them up. Maybe ease them into full time duty.

We have. But we’ve also brought in a ton of guys while grant has been out and they’ve all been terrible. Veteran competition would be great and give us a high floor.

Bc is for sure moving on from lucky, wonder if he/we would be interested in a vet min deal to compete for a kr job.

The lions are experts at picking through our ol left overs lol. The riders are expertly bad at it. Ringmaiden has contributed a ton of talent scouting and managing. And doman has been great as an owner. But the lions are still building a team that keeps getting worse on the field and in culture. I feel like change is gonna be brewing for them as soon as they dip in performance.

I bet he gets in a fight with the mirror in his bathroom each morning

Good move for every one. Hope we get a game to honour him be great to see him run out onto the field one more time.
