he's on our roster in cfl.ca

Does Lavertu have eligibility left ?

I heard there's a trade involving him and 1 of the condition is to extend him..... just kidding....

because he's that good, calling him 'coach' is not appropriate. 'overseer' is the new term.

Elliott should be ahead of Hall in terms of learning the CFL game and he has the stronger arm of the two. The 2 OPoW honors is just a bonus.

If you aren't the real Nate you should be sued for copyright infringement . I'd bring Elliot back and let him compete with Max Hall. I'd bring him back and release Hall. I'd still trade for Glenn, if we get Glenn, I'll release Elliott.

Bombers are in attendance. Penton inquired and the Bombers said they have someone there.

imo, the jets should make a captain change - little, wheeler or scheifele are good candidates. not sure about kane. trade ladd, buff, pavelec, joiknen and setoguchi. acquire a better goalie, a top 2 (or 3) centre should be on top of the list too.

no. let's hope we can start a streak of our own. 2 GC in a row ?

I'm sure he can spin it... dont waste time on it.

which kinda reminds me of Kris Robertson... hopefully he wont suffer the same..

somebody said... there (might be) some level of interest from the Bombers re Brian Chui.... but they are still waiting and hoping for Bob Wylie... no time table on that one.

I am on the same boat also. From the last time I heard, the Bombers are still waiting for him. Until when though?

Brian maybe a rookie CFL OL coach if the Bombers bring him but he has experience coaching in the CIS level and his knowledge of the CFL game will be helpful for our OL. Here's what Angus Reid said about him... http://www.theprovince.com/sports/Thank+good+night+Angus+Reid+retires/9596638/story.html

Laurent Duvernay-Tardif has NFL aspiration and is doing his own pro day. Not Lavertu. Looks like Ottawa will now take Lavertu with the Bombers likely (in my opinion) taking Goossen. Lawless said Walters told him his top 3 picks are Duvernay-Tardif, Lavertu, and OL David Foucault. So in all likelihood it will be one of those 3. Laurent Duvernay-Tardif - NFL interest and NFL opportunity. Skipping the CFL Combine. If no NFL offer appears likely returns to McGill for a 5th season. Pierre Lavertu - likely returns to Laval for another season David Foucault - currently making his rounds through the NFL Regional Combines. Other OL options: Mattias Goosen - can play C or G at the CFL level. Can't return to school so he's available for rookie camp in May. Aaron Picton - experience playing RT but likely a RG in the CFL Adam Hughes - to take him second overall is a big reach but could be a consideration later as a 6'5" LG that could play the right side too. Do you have a complete list of prospects for this draft? 3-4 yrs ago, it's available onthe CFL but not anymore.

What round do you think Urchel will fall, 2nd round? 3rd round? Are you talking about Penn State's John Urschel?? I would be very surprised if he was ever in the CFL... I'm assuming this has been covered but does he even qualify for NI status? He would qualify if he applied for it. But he hasn't and probably doesn't plan to. Same thing with TJ Jones from Notre Dame. That's explain while their name is not on the CFL list.

What round do you think Urchel will fall, 2nd round? 3rd round?

He does. But if the good one isn't available, he won't take Goossen just to fill a need. So if not Lavertu, it will be Focault, Mike?

Suber for Glenn - straight up. I think that will do it.
