do or die Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 Like to get our paws on Vandervoort. Crying area of need....

rebusrankin Posted February 28, 2017 Report Posted February 28, 2017 I think I'd take those two in the first round and be pumped. I suspect we take an OL with one of our firsts though.
SpeedFlex27 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Hopefully the Addison Richards experiment ends like the Etienne one. Memo to Kyle Walters: Never draft another Saskatchewan receiver again. They'll mess with your mind, ratio & salary cap. JohnnyOnTheSpot 1

Dirty30 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Is Vandervoort a better receiver than Simonise ?

Id really like gray, but I feel like with our starting 5 + couture is pretty locked in. I like intzandt as a developmental guy too. Id love to see ankou and butcher together. That could be a real future twin towers esq combo up the middle for us. Id much rather have simonise then vandervoort. But similar to ankou I dont think either will be in the cfl this year. Vandervoort im sure will be. 4 hours ago, M.O.A.B. said: Was Etienne compared to Fantuz too? ? Nah fantuz had a real pro body coming out. When jade was picked he had the build of a 14 year old girl.
Guest J5V Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Trestman coaching the Argos? What the ... okay, where is the Trestman thread or does anyone care?

He was a physical specimen that dabbled in every thing. Skipped ball in the ncaa all together and only came back around to it. But after being the last cut just gave up on football.

Speaking of our draft picks bolting to the NFL - any word on Bilikudi or Mulumba? The rumor was that the bengals wanted simonise back in camp this year. With his size and speed its hard to imagine him not in an nfl camp. Bilikudi retired from football. Mulumba just signed a futures deal with the chiefs.

How long should a player have before you move on as an organization? The same things were said about Etienne. That he deserves a chance. That if we give up on him he'll go somewhere else & become a good player which didn't happen. To me, he's had the chances. Injuries are a ***** but they're part of the game. Some players seem more injury prone than others. Richards has been injured since his first training camp. Not saying he isn't a nice guy. Not saying he doesn't have potential. However, it hasn't worked out that way. I think it's time to move on. He'll be at camp this June so we'll see what happens.

I mean ... the easy and logical answer is "at least the length of his first contract" Canadian receivers probably have the lowest production rates of any rookies coming into the CFL. If they're not backups, they play the least desirable spot for a receiver on the field and are asked to contribute more in ways that don't show up on the stat sheet than ways that do. I don't know how anyone can say Richards has failed. He said barely scratched the surface so far. It's just the "cool" thing to harp on the guy. SPuDS 1

I assume this is the last year of his contract so 2017 will be a huge for Richards. Hopefully, the injury bug will leave him alone this season. Edited March 1, 2017 by SpeedFlex27

IMO it's unfair to say he's "failed" thus far... certainly not lived up to expectations... but this is a make or break year for him... need to see something from him going froward... And no, no one said that Etienne would go somewhere else and become a good player...
