^^ Lurch in the background with his back to the shot...

I think there's a ton of stuff that goes on at practice, in the locker room...even stuff that shows up on game film that we don't see, which contributes to the guy coaches want to keep around. I agree that Bass is younger and likely healthier, and all things being equal, he seems like the logical choice. Having said that, there's clearly a lot more to it...a lot more going on....that made the coaches/management decide to keep Wild.

Ya, without question it was this moment, solely, that cost Bass his job. MOS saw this and said "ZOMG JORB FOR LIFE!!11!"

Have never even typed that address into my browser since the day I left....

I am probably the biggest Ricky Ray fan on this board....unabashed fanboi.......but that poor bastard is beat to ****. I don't think his shoulder or knees can be salvaged, even by a proven genius like Trestman.

1) Huff wasn't going to trade him in-division 2) Tate was due a $40k bonus early march that they didn't want to pay 3) Tate's overall salary became cost prohibitive based on what he was providing...

Hardrick and Foketi are both really good RTs, but Hardrick is better for sure. Really hope he's our starting RT this year for all 18 games.

From Madani: "Best story I've heard from Argos GM search: a candidate was asked if he'd consider Rex Ryan to be coach! REX! Just imagine the bike rides... https://t.co/HwPigJXX6y"

Via Dave Naylor: "Am told that ex-Montreal Alouette GM Jim Popp is sitting down low at the Leafs game tonight. He lives in North Carolina ... why is he here?"

Now, I've never played any kind of organized football, but it seems to me that good technique can overcome measurables...

...and avoiding a $40k roster bonus that was due next week...

I've got tix to the March 11 game vs Cgy (actually my first Jets home game since about 1995...) and it's nice to know that it might actually mean a lot. Scrapping right down to the wire for that last playoff spot...

You always hope that, if they're not exactly experienced, hopefully they'll at least be hungry and want to show the coaches they deserve more time.

Yikes...this reminds me of Oilers D the last few years....that's tough, for sure, but the key is better overall team D. Attack hard up front and don't spend a lot of time in your own zone. Muck it up in the neutral zone as much as you can. #SwissStyle

Welcome to the club!! We meet on Thursdays.......

@TSNDaveNaylor Can confirm the Ottawa Redblacks have acquired quarterback Drew Tate in exchange for a 5th-round pick in 2018. #cfl #stamps #redblacks

Wow! That is pretty huge...

Why Hardrick, specifically?

Cue site admin warnings.......

I always go back to something Walters said about having to wait on a lot of guys they've been recruiting for a long time now. Sometimes, he (the scouts) could have been recruiting a guy for years, but you can't put a gun to their head and make them come north. It may seem like he's not able to recruit well at a certain position, but maybe they just haven't been able to get their best options to come north yet..

Boooooooo.....

We've got LB bodies on the roster already, who are potentially better than what we "lost" and I have no doubt a few more will be in camp. Not concerned at all, and have high hopes for Will Smith at MACK...

Thomas + replaces Sholo.... Nevis replaces Cummings. For sure. But in no way is Thomas a downgrade from Sholo.

Maybe I'm a homer, but the Will Smith signing makes me completely forget about Bass and Burnett...

All the talking heads seem to think the Bombers go DL at #1...likely a big reason we don't make a play for a vet one...
