Yeah thats not how the penalty works. You can't call illegal downfiled blocking if no pass is ever thrown.

I'm staying with my Hamilton pick

Considering how the game played out, scoring a TD by handing it off was probably more likely.

LEGS

Heiligh could be another solid find!! I'm pumped to see what he can do.

I haven't seen any news about Drew....from what I can tell he is not on the Pats PR....im getting more and more hopeful walters is working on a contract

BA IS BACK!!!!

I see Zylstra has been released. Another guy I'd love to see here. Don't really think he fits with what the bombers need...but would be a steal!!

I agree. He will always have that window open. I'm simply saying, if he doesn't stick down there this year and decides to come back to the CFL. He will be in the CFL for years before he gets another shot.

None of those are QB's. All the players listed that have done NFL then CFL then NFL again are not QBs AND either had NFL experience prior to the CFL, or bad luck in college that dropped them off NFL radar AND played more than 1 CFL season between NFL shots. People, including you. Are suggesting he will have a shot again at the NFL if he comes back to the CFL this year and plays mainly a back up roll. That has 100% never ever happened, no name players included. It doesn't happen. We all know the NFL is a different beast/business and their QB's are a level above that. Two of the greatest CFL qb's of all time barely got sniffs after lighting the CFL up for years. The greatest of all time(Flutie), even after playing well in the NFL still got screwed cause he didn't have the pedigree NFL owners want. Streveler being a QB makes his NFL window shorter than any other position.

Kongbo doesn't fit the example for multiple reasons. 1) before he was hurt in college he was GOING to be drafted in the NFL. It was even seen as a risky pick by the Bombers because Kongbo was seen as an NFL level talent. 2) Kongbo has not spent multiple years jumping from team to team. He tried out, got hurt, was released and came back to the CFL and then went down again all of that happened over the course of 2 offseasons and 1 CFL season. 3) Kongbo is not a QB/the face of the franchise. I don't do homework on things that haven't ever happened.

And how many guys do we see come up BACK to the CFL for half a year, only to get another shot at the NFL right after? Especially a guy who has spent 3 years down there...that just doesn't happen...nevermind adding in the fact he's a QB.

I'm saying this is his last shot. Year 3(?) jumping from PR to PR with some games here and there. The NFL isn't a wait and see what happens league for an undrafted middle aged (By NFL standards) QB. Every team in the NFL is aware of what he can and can't do at this point, especially after this preseason. Coming back up to the CFL for half a year to play backup QB isnt suddenly going to make a team notice him. To the NFL he is what he is. If he doesn't find a spot, his next opportunity will come AFTER/IF he lights the CFL on fire for a few years.

Also I don't buy the come up here for some more film/stay sharp...and try again. This is his LAST shot (for multiple years anyway). If he can't find an NFL home before the end of the year, he's a CFL'er.

I bet BC is closer to the cap than a lot of people think. They have a lot of money tied up in the Rec. and their defensive back field. Rourke on the 6 game isn't saving them much as he was making under 100k I believe. Honestly his BEST option in terms of playing/being paid might be SSK (assuming Cody is 6 gamed) or Hamilton.

When did DD do that?

That would be a nice get!!

I feel like he would fit right in on the Lions. Their coach very much reminds me of Oshea...hard nosed football!

It's not fair how the league is mistreating him. Especially when the league hasn't done anything to Jeffcoat this year for a hit he made on a player 3 years ago!!

Keep it coming Marino!! lol

I agree with this, except CGYs Defense is not as good as SSK. At the least the front 7 anyway. If Riders are going to win it'll be off turnovers and great play by their Defense. Anyone who thinks the criders O is going to be a major threat hasn't been paying any attention this year.

Yeah how dare owners try to interact with fans. What a schlub!

Was just gonna say, there's gonna be a lot of confused CFL fans who kept saying Streveler can't throw the ball, after he makes the Jets while throwing multiple game winning TDs.

This game will be a battle of the defenses. I expect a low scoring game that will be closer than a lot of people think.

Yeah I've said a few times Litre should be their starting RB....but that performance last night was God awful. What he have 3 brutal drops on that last drive?
