I expect us to bring in a retread with experience. Retread vs. Perkins to be our #2 and SY guy. The other 3 will compete for the chance to join the PR. I would not be surprised if one of Wilson and/or Artopeous didn't even make it to camp.

I just don't see the 7 or 8 failed attempts. I think he didn't succeed on plan A and is on plan B. The guy has been told since he picked up a football that he can't make the pros. And then he came within a single roster spot of an NFL roster, so he's gone on to the next step, which requires him to wait for the UFL season.

No one. The most likely outcome is that he doesn't receive another NFL offer. But in his mind, this is the path to the NFL. He's addressing what he was told was his shortcoming by getting experience in the 4 down game. He believes that he can earn a spot and impress some scouts.

This is his exact plan. He was told by the Green Bay HC that the biggest knock against him was that he never played the 4-down game. He's obviously going to play in the UFL this year and hope that parlays him into another NFL tryout.

Was there talent available to this extent?

Wanna take a wild guess at when Phillip Rivers threw his first pass in his rookie season?

It would be an anomaly for this particular preseason to have been used to evaluate a player. It seems more likely that Mitchell was determined very early to be the starter and Chris Smith and all the other were just filling up reps.

A bit, yeah. Thats why a lot of the garbage thrown his way is misplaced. Commissioners are just mouthpieces for the league they represent.

Anyone watching on TV and get a replay of the missed pass in the end zone? Was it dropped or did it get tipped?

I personally loved the Canada Day starts because I’m a teacher and it was just the best way to start the summer. Last day of school, CFL starts, it was a good time.

That's great, but it sounds like it's outside of his purview.

I love smacking Randy when he’s down as much as the next guy, but there’s not much he can do here and he’s been very vocal that he doesn’t think Lemon should be able to play.

This is a union thing?

Wasn’t Brady #2?

BLM doesn’t get hurt. He has been hurt for like 6 years now.

And these football fans you speak of all listen to the same type of music? And that happens to be the music you listen to?

And he made the roster. Yet here we are again. Hearing the complaints that the coaches are making the wrong choices.

I attack you because you say the same darn thing in every post you make. Sometimes 20-30 times per day. In terms of roster management, I've been on board since day one; you just repeat it so often and sometimes way too far in that direction that I have to argue against it. And then you make personal attacks but then deny doing so. It's tiresome.

You're not even allowing for the possibility that you may be slightly overvaluing guys you've seen for a handful of snaps across one or two of poorly televised pre-season games, eh?

No senior citizens please

Yup. Totally. I need to avoid falling into the old man trap of thinking it’s a bad get because it wasn’t what I was expecting. Big name. Tons of hits. Should put on a great show for the TV and live audience.

A bit of a letdown.

What is this a change from if not the starting positions from last year?

You can love the code of conduct and recognize that a player celebrating on the field has nothing to do with it. I’ll absolutely make fun of players who do crap like that, on my team or not, has nothing to do with culture though.
