Catchers and pitchers report for spring training on the 14th for the jays. 18th is the first work out of all jays players. JP howell, probably the best LHP out of the pen previous to last year and jarrod saltalamacchia round out the jays pick ups so far this winter. I like howell to rebound, and fit in great with our pen. Could still use another arm or two there. I like saltalamacchia as the back up catcher too. Vlady jr is up to 34th prospect in baseball. And could really shoot up this year. Sean reid foley could take a big jump in competition this year too. Though none of the top 5 are likely to be up this year or maybe early next either.

For the lack of production we saw for long periods of time from lbs not named mo, and our struggles up the middle he should have got some reps last year. He was excellent on teams again last year. He could play in the middle. We played burnett there at times. 0 comparison between richards and waggoner. Hes in a group of under used / poorly used guys. Hes done as much as you could ask in the time and role hes been given.

no idea if you can or not. But if you can i certainly would. any thing to avoid what the riders did last year. Our top 3 candidates will depend heavily on nfl offers, and how the work outs go. top 3 talent will probably be 3 different guys from top 3 available.

hes constantly been on about begging teams for a 2nd chance and how he just wants to play football etc. But if he had half an inclination he would have a deal out side the nfl in pro football any day of the week. That said Id want him less then young. vince young can move his feet. Jamarcus russel needs some one to shuffle him along the buffet line. haha wow. Just when you think he cant get any worse.

the quote KBF had in his post is what i was referencing. It was saying senior was no2 and a dl.

easy to see how youd think that. We were heavily into the merry go round of QBs at that point. Rough times. I actually like cole, but either the system is and coaching is awful or he cant maintain his flashes. Certainly a guy id be happy to keep around on the PR if he plays like last year. I certainly wouldnt settle for him to go into camp in a starter position. A few good guys available on the DL this year. Knapton, micah johnson, and marcus howard would all be nice. Westerman and most of the former bomber retreads seem like low hanging fruit, low risk low reward types. De is an easy spot to go down south and find a plug n play guy who can be a star right away. Unless you really need one lol.

He does, but jake and corney can rotate with 2 imps. Says he is 310 lbs im guessing thats not an end I think hes one of the guys that will get a lot of attention down south. actually according to every thing i see hes an OL. http://www.hailstate.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=2243

that means more then not. We have gone into seasons with bad teams. A bad team that continues to be bad is not under performing. A good or great team having a good or great season that doesnt win the cup isnt either.

haha that sounds like an awesome time, i cant imagine a dave ritchie esq color/pbp call.

Does that extend to the nearly nonsensical rambling stories or was that part all ritchie? Ask a question, get a story, no idea what it means but sounds good.

Davis only start came week 20 of 2015 against toronto. A game we lost 21-11... 16/25 for 169 no tds.

Thats an interesting question. We under performed heavily at DL. Against both the run and rushing the passer. Despite having a bunch of talent. What ever the cause thats gotta be high on the list of priorities this off season.

He was like our own yogie berra.

Coach ritchie was ride or die with his vets. He lived by the sword and died by the sword. When the vets wheels fell off and got too long in the tooth things turned around on him. BUT to his credit he missed the play offs as a HC what once? the first year here? And nearly made it then. The closely bonded team atmosphere of us against the world, allways having his guys back etc got the most out of his vets. People though the likes of coleman, mcgriggs etc were toast when they landed here. But they had great performance left in them and he got it. He also benched kerwin bell for the kind of young gun khari jones. Troy mills, ryland wickman, and eric blount for charles roberts, arland bruce, albert johnson the 3rd, garrick jones, doug brown and juran bolden didnt have cfl experience, I could go on. I would argue that the entire franchise top to bottom was trying to hold onto the 2001 dream team right till he was fired and did a poorer and poorer job going out and finding good young talent, to push and replace the old guys. Same height as fogg, frederick, johnson, 1 inch taller then mo, and randle. But hey macho is 6 foot. That forehead real estate is super valuable. Didnt find a lot about him, not surprising he didnt play at the highest level. But at that level he was considered a fantastic cover guy. The exact opposite of fogg. Not a guy to get turn overs, but allways in position, tons of pass knock downs, and supposed to be very physical. Small school cover dbs are tough to evaluate. Id say hes boom or bust. But he does seem to have the desirable tool set.

kind of like montreal last year xD didnt they bring like 10 qbs to camp? Thats the truth. Of the 3 I like montreal the best to turn it around. And toronto is most likely to be in the same spot next year. Whats the skinny on the green side with dylan ainsworth? Young NI at a ratio breaker position who seemed to be real good on teams.

Maybe because he took the riders to a win against ottawa putting up 350+ yards when the riders were 0 fer with durant previously on the season. Maybe because hes a little bit younger then davis, but played a ton more football at both college and the pro level. And managed to take a no2 spot and as previously mentioned start and win a game in the cfl. vs being a default no3. Or maybe because he has a better passing tool set.

Especially if you are a HC. The job security is poor at best.

I heard allegedly WSOF is done now. I hope gaethje comes to the ufc, and most of the rest goes to bellator. They could really use a strong shot in the arm so far as talent. And that would go a long ways to making them a legit pro circuit and less of a circus fight. ali bagautinov and zach makovsky both got cut today. A bit surprising. I liked bagautinov. He lost 3 of his last 4. But those 3 were to horiguchi, joseph benavidez, and DJ. Cutting him and keeping around a guy like big country is just another blow to the credibility of the sport. Makovsky lost 3 in a row. But again benavidez and dodson. It would be like if in the play offs instead of the bombers playing the lions the cfl stepped in and said well the riders would draw more and toronto is more important to league media coverage so bc and wpg are out ssk and to are in.

no kidding. Two cfl coaches taking pretty good jobs down south this off season. He probably is gonna make more money as the QB coach too.

short of trade i think we are down to the plan B tier of back up qbs. which is kinda thin. The difference between most of em isnt great. Davis severe lack of snaps puts him firmly in no3 range. Maybe he steps up big time and wins no2 in camp but going into camp we gotta get some one with experience.Especially since allegedly we are bringing MBT back into camp. Whole lot of experience lacking between those two above the HS level.

Or one of the 4-5 better wrs we have available sure. Its a back up, not a position you plan around but prepare around. Considering the record number of turn overs our D forced and FGs medlock kicked ill take any TDs we can get.

you mean the era that gave us the likes of blink, milt, doug brown etc? We should have won 2 grey cups easily in that time. Over the last 25 years weve had teams with among the best offenses and defenses in that era. Other teams have won cups in the last 25 years but seen much worse decision making.

id take him over davis as no2 for sure.

be sure to keep an eye out when tillman is around... $

No joke. If she can translate that to the pro level she will be around for a long long time. Yeah pretty much. I would still like to see kohlert in TC, but coming in having to fight and win a spot. He was pretty awful last year. Gale wouldnt be the top of the list for the back up spot but would still be solid. If davis goes into tc as qb2 ill be scared. thats the truth. You have to take their performance with a real grain of salt. Same goes for MTL. Yeah he was really good on teams the last 2 years and has up side. Hes only 24 years old too. His cutting is crazy. Maybe he really wants a chance to start?
