I was sorta hoping that BLM might be dinged up, too, but this will help.....wouldn't mind if their D took some hits as well. It might be Danny ******* O'Brien's only hope. I have a gut feeling BC is going to sneak one outta there at home, in front of both of their home fans.....somehow, some way...... J5V 1

Rest him from what? He's played, what, one game in the past month and a half? He didn't exactly light it up last weekend.

Mr Dee Posted October 31, 2019 Author Report Posted October 31, 2019 You can get hurt at any time. I would play. Tracker and wbbfan 1 1

Blueandgold Posted October 31, 2019 Report Posted October 31, 2019 I would give Harris at least a quarter, if not a half. I can understand not wanting to play him the whole game, but he needs to play more going into the playoffs. Noeller 1

Mr Dee Posted November 1, 2019 Author Report Posted November 1, 2019 The CFLPA and the League have agreed to a new initiative to test which helmets are the best for head on collisions. At this moment they are undergoing rigid testing at an unknown location. Details to follow..

J5V Posted November 1, 2019 Report Posted November 1, 2019 "Pulled back muscle keeps QB Cody Fajardo out of practice, status for Saturday in doubt" -- 3DN Oh oh! That's not good news for Rider fans. Has their luck finally dried up? It's not easy to diagnose back injuries. How do they know it's a "pulled back muscle"? They're hoping that's all it is and that it might heal in the next week or two, but I know back injuries and they are very hard to diagnose and almost always end up being worse that originally thought. Really they're just guessing. A lot will be determined by how much pain is involved. A pulled muscle can result in tears to the muscle tissue, the tendons, the fascia, etc. and the bones of the back are quite small and are easily fractured and disks are easily herniated. Let's hope it's nothing serious but don't be surprised if it turns out to be worse than originally thought.

What I remember of him was that he was a very smart, knowledgeable coach. He was a college QB that turned to coaching college ball for the Citadel Bulldogs for 9 years. In the CFL he was hired by the Als and won coach of the year twice with a very good team that featured Anthony Calvillo at QB and Mike Pringle as RB. After a stint coaching as an OC in college ball he was hired by Hamilton but had a horrible time (Casey Printers) as coach of the Ticats eventually getting fired after two years. He was known as something of an offensive genius with a "mountain of knowledge" and one of the things he was best known for was his ability to match his offensive schemes to the talent he had to work with. He was probably a better OC than HC and he went on to have a good career in US college ball. Charlie Taafe made his mark in the CFL with the Als as an OC losing to the Lions at the 2000 Grey Cup. He had a lot of offensive talent to work with like Anthony Calvillo, Ben Cahoon, Tyree Davis & Thomas Haskins as well as a very, very good OL. In Hamilton as HC the talent just wasn't there & his qb Casey Printers may have been one of the laziest & selfish qbs who ever played in the CFL. No surprise they finished 3-15 that year. He fell on his sword & was fired. J5V 1

He wasn't worried about other coaches figuring out his plans and he didn't feel the need to be secretive. TBURGESS and SpeedFlex27 2
