rebusrankin Posted June 18, 2017 Report Posted June 18, 2017 Wait, so they'd don't have two potential DL starters who are NIs? Francis is not a potential starting linebacker.? SPuDS 1
Guest J5V Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 I'm not going to beat the Willy thing and who's fault his demise was into the ground. We've done that. I'll always be grateful to Drew for playing his heart out in blue and gold. Wish it could have had a happier ending.
Atomic Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Drew Willy will be back in the CFL, we haven't seen the last of him. CodyT 1

Did Bombers pay him a signing bonus? It makes me wonder about EDM rec. depth. But that's about all. Tracker, SPuDS, JCon and 1 other 4
Mr Dee Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 ..........One of these things just doesn't belong here..

Buck got about a second and a half before he got snowed under. Willy and the horrendous beating he took. Finally changed that under Walters. Worth hiring him for that alone. I hated watching those beatings. He prioritized 3 things when he came on.. O-line, QB and national depth. Hes nailed all 3 imo in the last 2 seasons.. How anyone can think that Walter's hasn't been a huge boon for us as our GM, are nuts.. I love the fact hes Canadian too. another Nat doing the job of an Int lol, what a ratio buster Tracker, Arnold_Palmer, Mark F and 3 others 6

Another thing is, it seems like around the CFL, over the years, once the O line has been stabilized, it can remain good for quite a while. Allouettes/Calgary for instance.

rebusrankin Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 So Jones and Murphy's 200 man roster doesn't contain enough DBs so he had to sign Jovon? Mark F and SPuDS 2

The other thing is, it seems like around the CFL, over the years, once the O line has been stabilized, it can remain good for quite a while. Allouettes/Calgary for instance. exactly.. as long as you groom successors while you have a great o-line in place.. it should be resolved. Also, Walters seems crafty enough to work the contract situation well so that the hogs will be enticed to stay together.. i think anyway, he seems quite good at what he does. Mark F 1

Arnold_Palmer Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Glenn, Labatte, and Jovon Johnson. This would be a good looking squad.. If it was 2009 kelownabomberfan 1
Fatty Liver Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 So...the Riders add 3 thus they should delete 3, correct? Don't see it, they're using their suspended list as a stash.

Rich Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 http://3downnation.com/2017/06/19/slave-nate-behar-doesnt-sound-happy-esks-offer/ Behar not happy, says he is a slave. Edmonton has pulled their original offer of 77k off the table. Apparently league minimum is now on the table with the agent (Hardaway) trying to get him back up to 70k with bonuses. Quote Hardaway does have a reputation for being a tough negotiator who is willing to keep his clients out of training camp. He represents offensive lineman Josiah St. John, who held out after being selected first overall by the Saskatchewan Roughriders last year. He also represents linebackers Cory Greenwood and Henoc Muamba, offensive lineman Matt O’Donnell and Kirby Fabien, linebacker Frederic Plesius, defensive back Chris Ackie… many of those players have had contentious negotiations with their respective teams. Regardless of when Behar signs, or what he signs for, it’s clear that he’s feeling ill-treated by the club. Having these rookies skip their first training camp is not helping anyone and probably hindering their career development. I'm wondering when these players will stop hiring Hardaway as their agent.

Not a brilliant statement to make to start off his CFL career, he could quickly be tagged with the label of a locker room cancer. Edited June 19, 2017 by Throw Long Bannatyne
Stickem Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Jones most likely picked up Jovon to get the book on the Als. for this Thurs....Riders need all the help they can get, but playing wise, JJ is not the answer...But good on him for catching on in rideville...a guy can always use a cheque..
