Same reason we don't use Harris. The healthier those two are the better our offence.

Yep Hurl didn't look out of place. Sure makes a difference with an interior Dline that holds their own though

Think Riders shoulda traded Carter and kept Edwards. The guys pretty solid.

http://3downnation.com/2017/06/20/introducing-3downnation-power-rankings/ 3down has us ranked 4th which is probably where we should be after last season and a first week bye.

Riders picked up Anthony Allen today.

http://3downnation.com/2017/06/01/city-ticats-clash-pro-soccer-rights-tim-hortons-field/ Hamilton's got bad blood between city council and the team over the new stadium and lawsuits. It would be bad timing to hold a Grey Cup until things are resolved.

Hardrick would be the easiest American talent wise along that online to replace, but boy he brings tons of energy and fun and I think we would miss that.

He's not the answer

Back then there was no foam, worked with webbing suspended and attached to the plastic so your head floated around in the middle.

Gotta be something about Augustine that I'm missing. He has all the physical tools and performed head and shoulders above all the other rb/fb. He owned the lbs on pass protection drills.

Hope he drops that far

Smart move. The club needs to find different ways to utilize IGF for more dates. Soccer in Winnipeg has many fans. Who woulda thought the Goldeyes would be so successful. I think soccer is boring and personally would never sit through a match, but see that with the proper management it could work here and might actually strengthen our football club from a financial standpoint.

That makes more sense than the 3down one. There are going to be some surprises.

Best person for the commissioner's job has to be Pinball, if he would take it. He's charismatic, everyone loves him. Has played and coached in the league at a high level and has been involved in management of a team that desperately needs to get back on track in a market that the league needs to get jump started. He also is an excellent decision maker. I really think there is no better person for that job and the time is right.

The only thing though, is Woods has size, and you can't teach that. He's like 6'8" and was listed at 295 but came into the combine at 330.

After watching Woods in the 1 on 1's at the combine, hard to belive he would be anything other than a late 2 or 3rd round project. He wasn't using his size to advantage and got outleveraged by just about everyone. In the coaches choice 1 on 1's Woods and Bladek clearly got the most reps at multiple positions and Bladek seemed to hold his position against everyone but Luke. Woods was leveraged out of position by almost all the DLinemen.

Based on today's 1 on 1's here's how I'd rate the top 10 at the combine this year - 1) Danny Vandervoort, Rec,Crisp route running, got open and fought well for the ball, caught almost everything thrown close to him. 2) Junior Luke, DL, Strong bottom end, gets underneath well and has great leverage. 3) Johnny Augustine, RB, Great blocking, straight ahead speed,and good hands - beat at LB's in pass drillls, dropped a few against DB's, he did receiver drills as well. 4) Dariusz Bladek, OL, Good positioning, nice footwork. 5) Dondre Wright, DB, Athletic, speedy, great positioning, fought well for the ball. 6) Nate Behar, Rec, Athletic, strong, fast, made a highlight reel catch. 7) Adam Laurensee, DB, great range, fast closer. 8) Kwaku Boateng, DL, fast, hard to contain, great moves, a little undersized. 9) Jeremy Zver, OL, great positioning, won most of the battles against DL 10) Evan Foster, DL, motor that won't stop, undersized, did LB drills as well and did not look out of place. You can watch all the drills on cfl.ca, it's about 2.5 hours, there is a lot of talking but the nice thing is you can skip what you don't want to see.

He looked pretty good, but Vandervoort was head and shoulders above everyone else. There was one Dback that was outstanding as well, Dondre Wright, who was knocking balls down and making interceptions, Vandervoort beat him on a deep one.

Boy after today I'd be very tempted to pick Vandervoort #1 and go with a lineman for our #6. Vandervoort really stood out that he's pro ready today, and none of the linemen O or D were any better than the others in the 1 on 1's , so there seems to be a lot of good ones. As for Ankou who wasn't there today, to much of a risk to get drafted or even if he doesn't seems to have the tools NFL teams are looking for and he might be there for awhile. Behar would be a good pick at 6 if we do go lineman #1, Vandervoort won't drop that low.

Boy that's sure not going to make the players happy. No cap on coaches/management, but a tight cap on the guys putting their physical health on the line week in and week out.

So according to 3downnation it looks like the Esks are on the verge of signing Cory Greenwood. It implies that they may be looking to change their Canadian ratio situation (reason for signing Cummings, releasing Steele). I wonder if this might shake JC Sherritt lose. He sure would look good in Blue and Gold.

Yep, give him a chance. He's got the tools and unfortunately injuries have plagued him his first couple of years. He's still young and you never know.
