JuranBoldenRules Posted August 25, 2016 Report Posted August 25, 2016 Not a fan of Roberts over Frederick unless he's hurt. Frederick is an impact player, Roberts is a bit of a project still at this point IMO. blitzmore, BomberBall, wbbfan and 1 other 4
Mark H. Posted August 25, 2016 Report Posted August 25, 2016 Nice to see Hardrick back on the roster. Looking forward to J. Adams' presence in the secondary
Bigblue204 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Posted August 25, 2016 can someone post this picture? I can't get onto twitter

Jpan85 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Posted August 25, 2016 Looks like Scott and Hardwick will be the reserve.
Fatty Liver Posted August 25, 2016 Report Posted August 25, 2016 Sure hope Hardrick hasn't lost his job to Foketi and it's just injury related. Hardrick has been an emotional spark plug for the team and his attitude has infected the entire O-line and finally brought them to life and that has been the key to this brief turn-around.
WinnipegGordo Posted August 25, 2016 Report Posted August 25, 2016 Hardrick looked to be healthy at practice yesterday and did get a lot of reps. I think it's just a case of the team being on a 3-0 run and they don't want to make too many changes.

Shoulders are pretty important and can get hurt easily once there is an issue. Giving him another week or two isn't the end of the world. BigBlueFanatic 1

Hardrick was part of the starting OL for the first seven weeks, I'm not sure you can give him credit for the turnaround. He was good at RT but so was Foketi, IMO.
Noeller Posted August 25, 2016 Report Posted August 25, 2016 Hardrick is a natural RT.....Foketi a natural LT who played RT for the first time ever in his life last week. If Foketi is starting over Hardrick, gotta think it's an injury related thing. I'm curious if Hardrick is going to be one of the 2 game-day scratches, or if he actually dresses as a back-up.

Natural RT or LT... doesn't matter so much if Foketi is just a better player. Paul Swiston was a natural RT, doesn't mean he is going to be a better player at RT than Foketi.

I think it's pretty much a guarantee he's sitting. Has O'Shea ever dressed a backup import OL? Noeller 1

Paul Swiston was a natural RT, doesn't mean he is going to be a better player at RT than Foketi. Based on everything I've read, Foketi did not have a good game last week and when "graded out" by those watching game film, he looked bad. Again, looked like a guy playing RT for the first time ever in his life. By all accounts, everyone was praying for Hardrick to be ready for this week because he's absolutely the better RT. So it's a very curious thing that Foketi is in again....makes me think Hardrick isn't 100% yet. Tracker 1

Good read but I'd caution against taking his word as gospel. He isn't watching any different film than the rest of us, he gets all his info from what's shown on TSN. I don't know what he saw that he didn't like, because he didn't elaborate on it at all. blitzmore 1

Still his enthusiasm is contagious and he gets everybody going around him, that's a big part of leadership. Atomic 1

sweep the leg Posted August 25, 2016 Report Posted August 25, 2016 I thought Hardrick looked better at RT than Foketi did, but I suppose that doesn't mean it's true.

Seems that was one thing that didn't happen so much in the past. They were high on Davis and Adams, but both have struggled the last few games. I'm sure both will get more opportunities to play but I hope Sheppard and McDuffie do well in the meantime

Teams tried to pick on him, but he always held his own well. Seems like he's in a reduced role this season, which goes to show our Canadian depth has steadily improved since we first brought him in. I think he's slowly getting nudged out, but he was always a good Canadian role player. Wanna-B-Fanboy 1
