Sounds and looks like a real hitter and play maker. Looks like he'd have the versatility to play all over the defense. I worry the PI rules may flush good young talented DBs out of the league pre maturely. Namely the ones who are really physical. Heres hoping.

Rush ran 4.5 40, shortly off an ACL. Looks like a long stride runner who can really open up some top speed on the back end of plays. Looks really physical and strong. Hands look great. 2:21 he runs a short hook, the db grabs the front of his jersey while the ball is mid air pulls him back blocks his left arm so he reaches back and grabs the ball with just his right, while the ball is thrown a little wide of him. Bunch of physical plays and strong catches. Will be fun to see what he does in camp.

pretty much agree. Yeah, late last year he got rocked and thought he was gonna be out a couple times. That combined with how ride or die mos is especially late in games means a lot of breath gonna be held this year. Thats true, but that could very easily come at the cost of play off positioning or the play offs all together. He should have gotten in late last year a few times. Thats true, but then instead of spending money we will be losing assets and money in that back up. If that does happen and we arent quick to make that trade the loss could be a disaster. This franchise can not afford a turn down now. Despite the teams turn around last year ticket sales were slow to rebound. Developmental qb and back up qb are 2 different things. Thats the issue. How you develop qbs is by playing them. Backing up in the system is how they catch up, not how they progress. haha idk will jones or the new regime that replaces him by then make trades with us?

what noeller said. He hardly played college, went from big program to tiny then pro and bounced around basically every nfl TC and PR for years and years. Exceptional skill set with about as few passes thrown as is humanly possible. Thatd be great.

Never seemed to be made official, could be a camp thing. Would also be a fantastic guy to bring in to that role.

havent read the piece, its a sub optimal situation, but FA hasnt even begun yet he needs to calm his ****. If we dont have the money, we just dont have the money. I wouldnt pay any of the vet back ups available no1 money and it sounds like thats what they want. That could very well change if a few of these guys dont have deals when camp begins or gets close. Right now we only have 2 qbs under contract and walters comment about MBT coming back. More is still to come at qb. The real thing you gotta thing about is if davis is no2, whose pushing him for that role? Mbt with the least possible experience for a pro qb? We need competition at back up qb (and all positions in general) if the 2s price them self out of that role for us we do need to fill that hole some how. imop 4 qbs are ideal for mini camp / camp. Takes a big load off the 1/2 and doesnt default any qb spot. Yes any team down to a 3rd string qb starting is pretty borked. There is a difference between a qb with limited league experience and limited football experience since HS but both are scary. And sit who bond? bryant? hardrick? the problem with going 5 imp wrs is rotation. It would be great to pull off but it would hamstring the use of the DI and put us in a tough spot if some one got hurt. We need to find a good ni wr.

No of course not. But a good chunk off the top of this class couple be in camp in the NFL this year. The big loss in not having the top guys at the combine isnt the loss of scouting them, but how they stack up to other guys. Like rupert butcher last year tearing through every one in 1on1s.

That would be a great move. Id kill to see walby join the staff on the OL too

we call it the kenton keith game. Rider fans constantly on and on about how he was better then blink if you extrapolated his ypc and less games blah blah blah. Dressler was fantastic last year. Part of an offense that struggled to stretch the field, and score tds. And for the first fist full of weeks was probably the worst O in the league. is earnest jackson still a FA? For my money hes the best they have and none in the league are better. Id love to see him in blue. That is crraaazzzyyyy if true. He puts up great numbers but still drops too many for my liking.

yes and no. a system can severely limit ability to rush or inflate it. Setting up twists, and slides to create direct angles to the qb for a guy who cant get off the block well on his own. Or constantly calling pinch/ end contain / gap cancellation. Good consistent pressure is nearly allways a combination of the right players in a system that works for them. Un like say a QB who can play in an un friendly system and wing stuff, audible and generally just not follow the system in place.

probably. Still it sucks. Kinda surprised how far down the list they are no showing. 1st pick and we may be looking at a guy whose 7th or less over all. Feels bad man.

wow you must be dipping into that pederson stuff to think that... Hes even more raw then davis and even more limited as well. his last year in college they had to severely limit the pass plays and he still struggled to complete passes a ton. Athletically hes a freak at qb. But still a poor mans tebow. The difference between a guy with part of a season and a full camp / pre season and a fresh imp is massive. Even if they dig up a stud its tough to learn the game, make adjustments, learn the system, get settled in and un seat a guy whose allready done all that. Add in that knox seems to be a mos guy and good luck. Weve seen him cling to far less for far longer then camp. Not sure if its cap limitations, or good sense but im happy for it. With the 5 starters + couture + intzandt + 2 first round picks I have trouble seeing room for a guy like keeping or neufeld.

No one with out experience should be penciled into starting spots but nearly all jobs should be up for grabs. But i doubt that happens. mos likes his guys. No hes big enough to play middle. He has the skill set to play either. Maybe even back up Mo. If it translates beyond his teams play he will have to get snaps to tell. Knox will probably go into camp the incumbent. whether he should or not. He doesnt have the spot won though.

Yeah in his system you dont see more then 4-5 rushers often. But if u look at the DTs we brought in, and westermans season from the previous year we should have had more pressure then we got. We sent bass a ton of times with very low success. Ill never like soft contain coverage style. With out a rush all you are doing is giving up all the yards the offense wants along with TOP. Our play makers covered up for a horrible broken defense last year with a ridiculous amount of turn overs.

what a joke. Its the busiest time of the year for the front office. Going into cfl FA, the draft around the corner after that, and they think we are worried about creating dirt to keep them down? We are gonna worry about dicking them over instead of improving the team thats in a great position finally. Just idiotic. They allways have a scapegoat. Its not the rest of the world, its jones and the goons that work for him. No one needs to make them look bad, they do it them self. If this is true with the previous rule infractions I wonder what the leagues punishment would be. Personally id rather see the riders axe jones et al and the league pass on punishment. No franchise being run that poorly is good for the league. Bombers are looking up at bc, and calgary and to the side at edmonton. Figuring out how to move up. Not way way in the back at the stalls at the riders wallowing in their own you know what.

No kidding. Still have to shore up the interior but the line should be even more talented then last year if he cant make that work time to go boots to butts with him.

Love the pick up of tristan okpalaugo. He and westerman off the ends could huuuuuuge!

perhaps you should chow down on the facts first. It is a preposterous claim based on bunk.

It will be interesting to see what we do on the DL. It drastically under performed last year despite a ton of talent.

after the muamba thing im good with not having a pair of brothers for no reason other then brothers and NIs. theres a bunch of DL id rather have. Also id rather start corney then jabar.

The sms was a joke for a long time after it was brought in though. the 90s were a crazy era for the cfl. the rocket deal, american expansion, it was like the wild west.

jason vega signs a one day deal to retire a bomber.

im not sure on that one. taman was neg list crazy though.

He brought in a ton of good imp talent, but had some glaring blind positions. Before he became the gm n all that he did even better. Its the way the league was back then. The talent pool in drafting was beyond thin.

haha yeah. every subway in the cities hes worked in misses him dearly. Id take him back as a US scout. Is he just out of football right now? One catch then traded to TO. Im sure who ever he was traded for was better then what ever we have that that position...
