Fear not, I hear the Chris Jones has Matt Leinart on speed dial if Vince Young doesn't work out.

I hear Jamarcus Russell is still looking for a job, He said he will pay for free even.

Holy Crap, I may have accidentally stumbled across Chris Jones master list ... http://americanfootball.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_retired_professional_football_players

*BTW, what was that nickname we used to call John Murphy's prospect list back in the day?

well I guess technically Bennett was a FA due to PR players automatically being released upon seasons end, but it still sounded like the Riders signing him came as a bit of a surprise to the bombers and perhaps they would have prefered to keep him.

Just saying If Apodaca shows well I'd like to keep him around in some capacity where we won't have to be looking over our shoulder as a team to the left of us will be in dire need for QB rescue and kicking tires anywhere they can to fill that gap

Maty Mauk asked for less drugs upfront, so he got the invite to camp instead.

You must have read that on Riderfans....along with predictions that he will be their starting QB. Truth is we LET him become a FA. If he is a QB were really intent on keeping him we would have made sure he was not on the PR at season's end.

Danny McManus - on Americans up in the CFL

"Down in the NFL, they still let you touch a little bit after five yards. Here, I tell ’em we’ve got spotters up in the box that aren’t even watching the ball, they’re just watching the receivers. If a guy gets pulled after five, they’re telling Mike (O’Shea), ‘Throw the flag, we’ve gotta challenge that.’

"It takes a while"..."One full season, a guy will understand everything that’s going on. Two full seasons, now he’s able to play within that package. Usually by the third season, he’s ready to roll." (?‍? sounds like D. Davis)

?‍? one of the best things about Marcus Ball signing in Toronto is that it frustrated the Rider fans who thought Regina, with Jones, was his destination...

?‍?The veterans are coming...

?‍?Is it Sunday yet?

 Arland Bruce anyone?

 

[IC Khari]

Bruce, without the attitude hopefully

[Taynted_Fayth]

so rookie camp should have wrapped up today correct?  any report or generalization of how the 3 days went? 

Since transactions very rarely (if ever) occur on weekends as well,  will we hear who is moving onto TC and who is cut today?

[CodyT]

Caught the last end of it... not much going on. Quinshad *last name escapes me* had a nice catch. 

 

Lapo barking out a bit about how to properly do the caedance to one of the new guys

I like TJ Thorpe but my god is that a bad highlight tape. He was out of bounds on the nicest run he had.
